Preface this by saying Kim Dami is my favorite korean actress.
I do not understand what the director or script are going for here. She acts quirky, irritating, trying to be "cute", but really being openly obnoxious, and I can't connect to her character at all. I stuck this out in hopes it would get better, but no dice. Maybe the second half of the show will be better, whenever they come out, but it will take a lot to convince me to give it a shot.
I know Kim Dami is an excellent actress, but here she acts like an annoying middle school girl, trying to get attention from the cop. There just feels like there's nothing behind the performance except performance. She's supposed to be a genius profiler, but the dialog doesn't make her seem like a genius anything either.
And the mystery is a bore. Just no real tension.
Don't know why it's as high as 7.9 on IMDb user rating, I guess because it's only got 200ish votes. It's been steadily dropping since day 1, when it started out high 8s, probably because other Kim Dami fans review floated it up. Watched with subtitles, rewatched a little with dubs. Dub is worse but it's just bad dialog.

Doesn't work. A bunch of young chefs who are not that funny, trying to be entertaining and really trying too hard.
Needs something else to make it watchable, some kind of structure on the interactions, or straight man to temper all the one up man ship of the bad unscripted humor or something, I don't know what would help. Cooking shows (or any kind of reality show) really do have to have a lot of authenticity in the people to make them watchable. But here all the authenticity I feel is a bit of sadness under the faked enthusiasm of the chefs.
Food premise is also uninspired. We don't really learn a lot about cooking. Just 3 talented but pretentious young chefs kind of showing off.
Format is a failure. And I'm sure these 3 chefs are talented and nice people, but not everybody was meant to be a TV star.

Acting is a little worse than you'd expect in your typical bad B action movie. Like "first time acting gig for an athlete" bad. Think Rhonda Roussey in Expendables X. Or Worse than Chuck Norris when he started way back when.
Script and tone are outdated. Cartoonishly written.
Fight scenes are very amateurish and outright slow. Unexciting. Made for TV.
