7/10
Worth watching.

This film is a commentary on socioeconomic class-divide through food, but not your typical "wow, that's fancy looking food" kinda movie from the food-drama sub-genre.

Plot Aoy (Remember the actor from Bad Genius?), who runs a family noodle shop, wants to be 'special', wants more from life. But how far is she willing to go to become a famous chef? Can she handle everything that will come the fame?

Take Social commentary can sometimes feel too preachy, either the rich or poor side can be made to seem very villainous, but I thought it was fairly balanced here. While there is nothing mind-blowing here, the satire and drama were balanced. Good acting by everybody and also well shot. It's a slow-burn of sorts but the film has a message, that....is thought-provoking, to say the least.
