#also i've never had a cat and would never just dunk them into a bathtub like that

[keepthetension]

chef guy, my beloved, i am picking you up under the armpits and dunking you into another show like a cat going into a bathtub

which one?

cooking crush, of course!

imagine: you've won a major cooking show 220 times (is it rigged? do they just like you as the face of the show? does anyone even see you anymore?), but you feel like you've lost touch with the fun, passion, and creativity of cooking. one day you see a cute little cake shop and decide to go in and the baker is handing out samples of a new recipe he's trying out, and just look how happy he is! and also: he's fine as hell. alexa play couple by sechskies

i like the idea of guy not knowing who chang ma is (he just doesn't watch super monster chef) and treating him like a normal person. because chang ma must be so tired of being the winner all the time when he doesn't even feel like he's doing his best!

which would be very interesting when guy finds that out because

a wild conflict appears! except i'd actually be genuinely interested in seeing how "this isn't even my final form but everyone sings my praises" vs 'i do my absolute best but nobody sees me" would play out

idk. i just want to see them making babies heart eyes at each other

bonus half-baked (lol) idea: the way of the househusband but without the yakuza shit

because i would love a show where guy is simply shopping, cooking, bargain hunting, and simping for his spouse
