I randomly came across this drama on DramaFever (when they were once a thing). I knew this would be one of those comedy dramas once the opening theme song came up. But I did enjoy this drama. This drama is about Ko Tin-Po (Wong Cho Lam) whose a clumsy chef, but has a talent for knowing good/bad dishes & befriending the Yongzhen Emperor (Ben Wong) during the struggle for the throne. The two go through many trials together.

Apparently, this drama is based on Jin Yong's novel, The Deer and the Cauldron. **BTW he's got a lot of awesome wuxia novels.

I grew up on TVB Dramas, so yes I was familiar w/ the cast. This was the first time I've seen Wong Cho Lam, and he did a great job. Normally, you'd want the lead to look handsome and what-not but it was refreshing that he was just funny and great at acting (I guess think Bobby Au and Evergreen Mak). Overall funny drama. I even told my mom to watch this one.
