Prato da Alma (2019)

delicious food with delicious visuals

●HOW I CAME TO IT
Am an Astro fan and might have missed this drama so am ticking this off my PTW list.

●STORY
The fantasy romance is about 6 handsome angels who run a restaurant named Soul plate. They provide solace with their food to the guests.

●PLOT VIEW
This web drama was most likely about healing and comforting people with the food. As the food which seems simple but is filled with memories and which eventually makes them reminisce the past and find peace. The dishes are deliberately formulated to the visitors past, so that they can reminisce and heal the hearts which was initially hurt.
Each episode consist with one visitor and their comfort in food filled with memories, also taking the romance between soopia and angel raviel alongside. It was unnecessary but it did provide lots of amazing visuals and complete closure.

●ACTING/CAST
Everyone was amazing. When all the Astro members are together they create a very happy vibe.
**Cha eun woo as Angel Raviel, is head chef and is good. His always picks up healthy food. He did act nicely being the main lead. But his cold expression is just bland and needs to be worked.
**Sol Bin As Soopia,the farm owner looked vibrant. Her expression need little work but overall she is good. Her style and getup as farm owner was perfect, it gave a of vibe confidence.
**Moon Bin As Angel Muriel is sous chef is very humorous. Yes he is doing most of the humor in the series and tries to befriend soopia. He also like a balance in the whole series.
**MJ As Angel Raoniel is desert chef is sweet. His love for food is overwhelming and gives a familiar touch to that packed canned food. It seemed familiar as my sibling also love packed food and doesn't cook much.
**Jin Jin As Angel Ariel is a hall manager. He is childish and looks cute. He need acting lessons though.
**Rocky As Angel Rumiel is Ingredient Manager. He loves music and always seen with a headphone around his neck. His visuals are delicious and I would love to see more in dramas.
**Yoon San Ha As Angel Mirel is counter manager. He id kdrama fanatic. He also got some skills but needs polishing

●MUSIC
TBH I didn’t like the music, as there were number of famous songs from various artists from many different series which made no sense. They served as just the background score. Only if the songs were of Astro, it would have been great and given ore impact to the series.

●REWATCH
I would actually rewatch it only for the recipe of the dishes.

●APPRECIATION
With the food the series gives a very stern lesson as to whatever problem we have in our life, with our partners, children or parents for once we can just talk and give a chance to dive in the problem, maybe find the pearl of solution
This series takes up the responsibility of introducing the delicacies of the South Korea to the world. The visuals of food and its cooking were excellent, felt as if am watching a cookery show.

●CRITICISM
Romantic scenes were cliché only if it had been choreographed more vividly it might have looked amazing, but if felt very cringy.
It was only 6 episode which should have been more.

●FAV SCENE
When soopia was telling about her ex. The reactions of all the members are so on spot, as we all know the story, it feels very funny and comical.

●QUOTES
Perhaps we don’t fall in love when we meet them, we meet them because we are already in love with them.

●RECOMMENDATION
Yes its a short drama so it doesn't take up much time.
It teaches life lessons with each of its stories. This show is a must watch for a quick relaxation.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
I would definitely try out some recipies from the shows. And would also make my favourite dishes, only to reminisce the past.
Well in our culture, when parents scold kids, they don’t apologize, they just ask the kids to have food, thats a sureshot apology in our culture, its like parents are taking care inspite of being angry.
