Broke college student Jiho is determined to win the grand cash prize on the TV show "The King of Home Cooking," where culinary mastery alone isn't enough to become popular with the audience voters. After a wild night of research, he concludes that faking a gay relationship with another contestant is the surest way to victory. The handsome and good-natured Woohyuk could be the perfect partner -- but the instant he hears Jiho's plan, Woohyuk turns into a complete jerk! The two somehow agree to team up, but will their rocky "ship" be enough to beat the other attention-hungry contestants?

Love the flawed main characters so much!

This series actually killed my reading slump and I am so glad!

Ths characters are intense.

The plot is based on a reality cooking show where the contestants resort to all kinds of things for trp and to gain popularity aka votes and likes.

Well, the MCs haven't confess like confess confess yet but damn they are making me go crazy ❤️🤦

That producer is pretty handsome too.

A see a twist coming up.

Cannot wait for more chapters!

*Ongoing new series ✨💯

*Currently on chapter 24 💓

No hay nadie que esté más sorprendido que yo por lo mucho que disfruté esta historia. Los personajes me gustaron desde el primer capítulo, y la tensión !!! lit fue la primera vez que me pasó de sentir que estaba leyendo un libro visual sjsjsj onda no sé cómo explicarlo pero el dibujo de este manhwa estuvo tan bien logrado que por ahí sentí que con sólo una mirada transmitían una banda de sentimientos que en los libros (claramente) se describen con palabras y en los manhwas/webtoons que suelo leer no tienen ese tipo de atención al detalle. ¿Y el 2º ML? TODAAAA. Amé a la pareja principal pero el director can totally get it. Sé que los extras son sobre él peeero no sé si me interesó lo suficiente como para leerlos xd anyways estuvo re piola man !! no le ponía ninguna ficha y me re terminó gustando.

4 de 5 estrellas.

i really liked how realistic this was. everyone was flawed. the romance wasn’t this grand over the top thing. it felt young guys just falling for each other.

they did fight a lot but in endearing way for me as they reader.

i liked how mc showed it feels when you date more than person and the hurt you feel when you choose the one you like more. it’s not like what you felt for other person goes away.

yeah all around this was a good read. i’ll definitely check the second mls story. unfortunately it’s still ongoing though.

EVEYTHING BY THIS AUTHOR IS AMAZING, u can see the author has improved in quality and story pacing but in comparison to the other two, i found this a bit lacklustre but nevertheless, it's much better than 90% of other webtoons out there.

Interesting concept and characters, the story flow was good. A little too miscommunication from the main couple for my taste but I liked the interaction between the producer and lead character.

Gawee is one of my favorite manhwa artists and I had completely missed this one? A good one day binge. A very conflicting stort but good angst. Was invested in both parts of the love triangle aghhh.
