Characters make no sense. Here's why:
Chef Chico after recovering from a coma, he went back to the kitchen angrier at his staff and berating all the people who handled the restaurant while he was bedridden. Why??? He didn't even thank his staff for running the resto while he was gone. I don't get the dictator attitude of Chico. Where does his anger coming from? I don't get it.
Piolo Pascual's character suddenly acts like a leading man in a romcom borderline on creepiness, touching Ella and makes moves inappropriately. He was a professional consultant that turned a lover without any reason.
I don't care about the random soap opera stories of its customers. Too much drama. I felt like these scenes were made as fillers.
Ella's character is plain boring. That's all I can say. I don't know her motivations of staying as the sous chef when she gets a bad treatment from the head chef. She doesn't have any goals. She just cooks.
Btw, nobody even visits Chico or knows what's happening to him in the hospital that they were all shocked to see him back in the resto.
Just give us a great story with plausible plots and compelling characters. Why should I care about the characters?
