I've just finished this drama, and I immediately felt that the first thing I had to do was to tell everybody to watch it, simply. It reminds me a lot of shining inheritance which is my favourite drama . The story is really great, many things happen, there's always something for the protagonists to discover. No really, you've got to watch it. Well, it's only my point of view but I think it's a pity if you don't even try. All the things that I prefer in kdramas are in this one, all reunited. But be careful, If you want to enjoy this drama at its most, don't spoil yourself ! (Don't worry the end is great ^^) I completely fell for Lee Sang Woo, he reminds me of park shi-hoo (not physically but for his charisma) I also couldn't stop singing the songs while I was watching. I give this drama a 8 for rewatch value because I'm certain I'll miss it very much and I'll want to see it again. If there was one drama which I would buy in DVD it would be this one ! Hope you'll enjoy it and hope my review helped you ! (Sorry for the mistakes there could be, I'm french and I am only 15) :)

Overall, this drama is a fun to watch and not boring, for having me to watch it until the end, although I fast forward some parts, which I think is not needed. This drama I feel should have done good with just 24 episodes, but all in all it keeps my curiosity and interest to finished this and know which of the main characters end up with.

This drama has great actors and actresses. They did their job well, especially the one who acted out the character of the fake In Joo, which I think she did justice to the role because I hated her character too much. As for the 3 main leads, Seong Yoo-Ri, Lee Sang Woo, and Joo Sang Wook, they all did well, although I can say that the writer should have put more depth on JSW character as Jae Ha, such as giving us some background on Jae Ha's childhood on why he grew up with his grandmother, where are his parents, etc, in that way we could have had more empathy and connection with his character, unlike the character of Do-Yoon. Maybe that is why I feel more connected with the character of Do-Yoon aka "Haemil" and leans more towards the love angle between Do-Yoon/Haemil and Joong-Ho.

Furthermore, although I least expect the ending of the drama and quite dissatisfied with it, too much open ended and not enough closure on the characters, overall it is still a good drama to watch.

It has been a long time since a drama left me feeling so conflicted. What is to be said when your interest is kept but the experience isn't exactly enjoyable?

In true melodrama fashion, the plot kept conflict coming and left little room for boredom. The issue is that the conflicts were often over the top and low stakes. Characters exhibited selfish, unreasonable behaviors for little reason. Coupled with infuriating love line twists and other common drama irritants (overbearing family, lack of communication, etc.), Feast of the Gods felt like eating something spicy. It can be compelling to have a second bite after initial painful heat, but some people are more acclimated to spice than others. I’m not sure this is a very re-watchable show, that being said.

The acting is a mixed bag. For instance, Sung Yu Ri did fine as a hardworking “candy.” Around the halfway point though, the script has her Jun Young all over the place in terms of characterization. It may be the fault of the writers but her performance sometimes felt schizophrenic. On the other hand, Seo Hyun Jin played woman I positively hated – and did a great job of being villainous. She never found my sympathy though…which is unfortunate, because it was clear you were supposed to feel sorry for her. The men fared somewhat better, though neither got the story line attention they needed and deserved. I have to thank Feast of the Gods for introducing me to handsome Joo Sang Wook though. He was a pleasure and this experience gave me the push to see some of his other, higher-rated performances. Many viewers will find Lee Sang Woo lovable and I see the appeal. His character is mysterious and the actor himself feels like Hyun Bin and Park Shi Hoo all wrapped into one guy.

While I liked the OST well enough, I think they utilized it badly. There were occasions a song would play during the most inappropriate scene. Vocal pieces were all fine in practice, but aside from “Did You Forget” by Lee Seung Chul, I can hardly remember them.

The story is so much more than just two women chefs going through competitions. The two women are Do Hee and Seol Hee. They compete to become Master Chef and Seol Hee not only cheats but locks her son in a closet and he ends up dead. Do Hee and her family go on a ship where there is an accident and her child is lost at sea. Do Hee can't face it and while they are looking for her lost child they find another child that she claims as her own. That child has lost her mother at sea also...Yeon Woo then becomes Ha In Joo.

22 years later

Well, there are 32 episodes to explain what happens when the original In Joo is found. I don't know if they needed that many...plus the ending leaves a lot to be desired. The story is ok, but it really isn't anything new.

The acting is very good. All of the main actors do a great job and even the secondary actors are no joke. I really like Sung Yu Ri as an actress. Joo Sang Wook and Lee Sang Woo are great actors and excellent eye candy. Seo Hyun Jin does a great job of making you feel sorry for her and hate her at the same time...but by the end you realize that she has been mentally messed with her whole life so what can you expect from a person like that.

The music is excellent in this drama. Even if you don't watch this drama you should look up Lee Seung Chul's Did You Forget? and listen to it. It is great!!!

As for the rewatch value. I wouldn't watch it a second time because it is so long.

Overall I think this was a pretty good drama. Not the best I have ever seen, but it doesn't suck.

One of the shows that keeps your mouth watering with all the foods that they come up with. It is basically two women vying for the master chef position and ending up using people for their gain. I like the drama more for the beautiful lead actress and two handsome lead actors. It gets me going on who she would end up with. The writer knows how to make you root for a particular male lead. The answer wasn't clear until the last few episodes.
I would say there's too many competitions on who is better in making new Korean cuisines from the beginning to the end. The second female lead made too many evil ways to win and I did not see any justice made.
The ending is somewhat okay but not something I would say good.
Overall, I like it and recommend for you to watch.

This review may contain spoilers
I was excited going into this because Joo Sang Wook was back with another drama and the premise sounded fun as I thought this was going to be a romantic comedy…

Story- The first couple episodes are the child/teen part of the plot. It was unexpected because I had thought this would be a comedy and it was more like the beginning of most melodramas. While confused, I just went along with it because the events that took place made me curious as to how the rest of the drama would play out.

Unfortunately that feeling only lasted till about half way through because things started to get repetitive and predictable by episode 20. Most of the episodes are too emotional and became draggy. It didn’t help that I read spoilers for the last episode and found out it had a crappy ending. That’s why I decided its not worth my time finishing 12 more episodes and just read a recap of the last episode. Really 32 eps is too much for the material.

When it comes to the romance I have mix feelings. I did like that it was unpredictable but the way they handled it made me kind of mad. I don’t want to give anything away but I just have mixed feelings about it.

Acting/Cast- While the acting was phenomenal by all, I had mix feelings about the casting choices. Sung Yuri is a good but not amazing actress. She makes her roles believable but at the same time all her characters feel the same to me. As for Joo Sang Wook, I am so mad at the writers for what they did to his character. They made him so unlikable and kind of pathetic. His character really didn’t provide much to advance the story. It didn’t help that he didn’t have any chemistry with Yuri. However, someone who I seen in a few other drams but hadn’t taken notice of before was Lee Sang Woo. This guy impressed me so much and his character was so memorable. I am glad I watched this drama because I was able to find another actor who im going to keep track of now. The other main actress did an amazing job playing the messed up In Joo. She was a really good villain because she did all these horrible things and yet you still feel sympathetic for her.

Music- It had a good OST that fit the show well.

Rewatch- I didn’t have the motivation to finish it the first time so I cant say id rewatch this although its rewatchable because the story wasn’t boring.

Overall Im kind of disappointed with Feast of the Gods cause it started out really interesting but since I didn’t like the main female character all that much and it was too long this is a drama that is watchable but not enjoyable.

This drama was very good. The acting of all the actors was very well shown. This drama is not like one of those dramas which may seems good with the plot but have very bad acting in it. This was a very good drama. All though the actors were not very well known because they did not have any big names, but the acting just made this drama very well liked. Once watching it, you have to continue watching it. This drama makes you very sentimental, and it touches your heart. It also had very sad scene, happy scene, pity scene, happy scene, and it was just very wonderful that no words can describe it. This drama was not like one of those cliche drama with a typical story, it shows how the main lead can end up with the 2nd lead. I just love this drama, and although it was a 32 episode drama, where instead i usually watch the 16 episode drama, but it was worth it. I kept following the drama, wishing and waiting for the next episode to be updated. You won't regret watching this drama it was very well done artwork.

This drama started out so well. Then the story line got so draggy. This drama could have easily been completed in 20 episodes. The ending for me was sooooooooooo disappointing. Why waste almost half of the drama giving impressing that Joon Young and Jae Ha are going to get together? Why does Do Yoon continually show up wherever Joon Young is? This was so unrealistic.Sorry but Do Yoon's acting was so robotic and emotionless I could barely stand it. What a waste of one of my favorite actor Joo Sang Wook's time. This drama could have been great but the ending was topsy turvy.. No one is really punished for their criminal acts. I'm somewhat sorry I watched this.

This drama is long, but it has the perfect amount of drama without too much. An added bonus is that the food shown on this drama really does look delicious and yummy. I also think the clothing is super pretty on here. It's not exciting as shorter and more popular idol dramas but it really is worth a watch.
