    I haven't seen it or had not interest in seeing it. Even possible that I don't recall seeing it

    The main characters were so likeable! I wish the villains were more well-rounded - They`re set up to be so evil right from the time they show up, what with their perpetual sneers and evil eyebrows. If you like any sort of cooking drama/anime, you`ll definitely like this.

    If you...( read more) expect explosions and mass murder (or something more exciting than Iron Chef), you`ll think it`s a bit on the boring side. If you`ve watched this, did you cry about the cow!! C`mon tell the truth! I love that cow.

    This is a real piece work of art about cooking.. A great cooking battle in a movie... Love the story, and even there are many flashbacks on this movie but it's ok... At least the ending makes everyone happy... (Except for Chief OH, he's very evil... glad that he lose..) The prepa...( read more)ring for the dish and the creating of food draws very well in this movie.. Like how Chief OH got disqualified in the last round because his cow was sick, they tell us before how the cow can get sick... A lot lot entertaining... Love the cooks... Makes me hungry to see it...

    Determinations and foul play in order to gain supreme

    An highly enjoyable cooking contest movie. As with many film of this type, it has all the requisite pieces: two long time foes equally skilled, a bad guy who cheats, several contests matching skill against skill, twists and turns with insight into the pasts of the protagonists, ...( read more)and (in this case), a nicely understated romance.

    There's nothing really new here, nothing really surprising, but the pieces are very well done. While there are some deficiencies in the storytelling, especially early on, this is more than made up for by the chemistry and the likeability of the cast.

    The cooking sequences play like a quick version of IRON CHEF, with final dishes that look amazing.

    The emotional buildup to the end is excellently done and the pay off is wonderful. Korean films at their best will tug the heartstrings and this is no different.

    Well worth seeing.

    It's a comedy+ touching movie to me. I've learnt something about their Korean culture.
