Too Cute To Handle
This show made me hungry. It made me hungry for food but it also made me hungry for passion. What this show does best is warm fuzzy feelings, good vibes, and cuteness. And it does those things soooo well! Plus it engages in its feminist and queer themes seriously in a way I loved. This show is almost as much about sexism as it is about food. All that was grand.But because both characters are newly out as lesbians and in their first relationship, there's an adolescent awkwardness to their romance. One or maybe both of them are ace and one is just generally emotionally stoic (or even repressed). The net result is that I was screaming for them to just kiss already, or at least hug or hold hands! It eventually happens and everything about it is a very deliberate choice by the makers that I respect but personally it leaves me a little wanting.
That said I still binged both seasons in one day and can easily see myself rewatching this. The cuteness levels are off the scale and the lack of usual intense dramatic tropes like third act break-ups makes this a welcome breezey watch.

Este cálido drama desarrolla la relación de dos mujeres que conectan a través de la comida y se complementan a la perfección.
Las historias que enaltecen la cocina tienen un encanto especial (sólo hay que evitar verlas con hambre) y esta, además de ello, transmite un confort doméstico muy agradable.
Yuki y Kasuga crean un vínculo precioso, te hacen sentir felicidad y añorar algo como lo que tienen. Es una relación que cocinan a fuego lento, sazonada con suavidad. Poco a poco, existe más familiaridad y cariño entre ellas.
En medio de comidas compartidas, conversaciones casuales y la creciente cercanía de las protagonistas, el drama también hace un comentario respecto al machismo, el trato diferencial y las expectativas que se ponen sobre las mujeres.
Para la tranquilidad que te genera, no es justo lo poco que dura cada episodio. Sería ideal tener una segunda temporada para seguir contemplando el día a día de Yuki y Kasuga, mientras siguen descubriéndose mutuamente y a sí mismas.

Un GL doux et reposant, qui propose une relation saine et naturelle
Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna est un GL léger et mignon qui mise sur la simplicité et le naturel plutôt que sur le drama intense. L’histoire suit Nomoto, passionnée de cuisine, qui se rapproche progressivement de sa voisine Kasuga en partageant des repas faits maison, donnant naissance à une relation tendre construite autour du quotidien.Le rythme est calme, contemplatif, avec une ambiance très slice of life qui rend le drama facile à regarder. La relation évolue doucement, avec beaucoup de pudeur et de délicatesse, ce qui donne un côté très wholesome et réconfortant. On est clairement sur une romance qui privilégie les petits moments, les gestes simples et la complicité qui se construit naturellement.
Ce qui fonctionne particulièrement bien, c’est la représentation de deux femmes adultes qui apprennent à se connaître sans toxicité inutile. La série aborde aussi, de manière subtile, certaines attentes sociales pesant sur les femmes, notamment la pression du mariage ou des normes hétéronormées, tout en gardant un ton positif et accessible.
La production reste assez simple, mais cohérente avec l’esprit du drama : une atmosphère cosy, une mise en scène épurée et un focus sur la nourriture comme langage émotionnel. La cuisine devient un moyen d’exprimer les sentiments, ce qui renforce le côté chaleureux de la série.

A história gira em torno de Yuki (que adora cozinhar) e Kasuga (que adora comer), que encontram uma combinação perfeita. O roteiro se concentra em aceitar a sexualidade e as expectativas em relação às mulheres, com os protagonistas tendo química satisfatória e boa atuação. O drama não é um drama GL, mas um drama lésbico adulto sobre a maioridade, com foco na dinâmica de mudança lenta entre as duas mulheres que encontram sua metade complementar. Os pequenos comentários e práticas, muitas vezes denominados “microagressões”, podem ter um impacto duradouro sobre os outros, causando insegurança, dissonância e cautela. O drama parece coloquial, com mensagens de resposta que não são prolongadas e penduradas para referência contínua. Was this review helpful to you?
