Made an account on My DramaList, Just to review here
Okay so I love stories like this.Slow paced, cozy, feel good and just fluffy.
I was expecting to finish this series with a full happy heart.
But GODDAMN, the ending wrecked me.
That few seconds ending just left me staring at a wall wondering, WHAT IF.
Anyways if they make a new season, maybe season 2 for this. I'd be down.
This is what I watch every time I eat.
I just didn't expect the ending.
Not in front of my damn salad.

Go Hyewon!!
I’ve seen some reviews saying the leads' chemistry is bad, but I’m the one who watched this drama only because of it.Since it’s a Japanese drama, I can accept that it’s a bit slow-paced. The screenwriter is apparently a Korean woman, and even though she incorporated her own experiences, the plot is really childish.
It’s upsetting that she portrayed the Korean mom as a psycho who suddenly slaps her daughter out of nowhere,
and the worst part is the female lead’s babyish voice and expressionless face...omg...
But I’ve actually come to like Kang Hye-won through this drama. I’d never heard of IZ*ONE before, but she’s actually a really charming person. Hye-won!, practice your voice and facial expressions so you can definitely win soon the Best Newcomer Award!!!

cute lovestory
Honestly, this is what I would watch after a super sad drama!It's a pretty wholesome love story without any unecessary plot twists and all in all I think it represents many realistic relationships out there. The leads were pretty considerate of each other and mature, especially during the last episodes. However, this can easily get boring....
Also, the supporting characters on this drama were pretty pitiful. Because what do you mean the waitress girl was giving all her money on her gambling addicted boyfriend??? At least there was some character development but still. It's a pretty mid drama ,but for a j-drama it's one of the best I've seen and it wasn't cringey.
I would recommend it to someone that is looking for something chill to watch because there's barely any plot, otherwise don't waste your time.

Nice and soothing show!
Gimbap and Onigiri served as a really cozy and down-to-earth series, which fitted me very well since I’ve been watching a lot of fantasy recently. While it was no mind-blowing story, I still enjoyed it and it was soothing.Gimbap and Onigiri made me have something to look forward too on Mondays and I was very pleased to be able to come home and watch an episode of Gimbap and Onigiri. I also need to say that I feel like the duration of each episode was perfect!
I, unlike many other watchers, actually enjoyed the last episode. While Rin and Taiga came as a shocker, seeing how the characters developed and seemed to do what they wanted to was really welcomed.
Junho grew on me a lot and while it of course was difficult for him, he accepted that Rin wasn’t romantically interested in him, and then treated Rin and Taiga really well as a couple. Sad to see that he couldn’t end up with Noa, I shipped them.
Could have been better:
In Halo!!! I need it on streaming services right now, it’s to good to not be released! Begging for aespa to release it, maybe on a Japanese album later on at least?
THE MISCOMMUNICATATION ANNOYED SO MUCH! We for real couldn’t go an episode without being pissed of by how the leads always misunderstood each other or talked about how their love maybe wouldn’t work. While I do understand the problem it often felt a bit too much.
Akinori was a very annoying character to me and I am happy that Noa finally decided to break up with him. It was nice that he still was in contact with his hyungnim and gave back the money that he shamefully asked to borrow.
Favorite character: Noa
Best episodes: Episode 1 & 8

Good Romance But Bad Ending
I enjoyed this series very much, and I would have given it an 8 rating, but the last episode was very predictable and very disappointing! I liked all the actors and I liked the way their romance developed, but the ending could only be liked by third wave feminists. Taiga achieved his employment goals, but his heart was broken. His Korean girlfriend dumped Taiga, who was a good man that she loved, and who loved her very much, for a job in merchandising. So Taiga was depressed and the woman got a good job; this is the kind of ending that only feminists would like. Very sad. There is too much feminism in Japanese TV.Was this review helpful to you?

Could be better
It is a shame. The poor guy acted almost alone in this drama. The story is interesting but the acting not really.The kissing scenes were a little awkward too, no chemistry between the two protagonista. They had more chemistry behind the scenes.
Even with few cast members this could be better made.
And they rushed the episodes so maybe this also played a big roll on the poor development of this drama.
The ending was so sudden that i was surprised. Yes this could definitily be made way better. A shame indeed.

Not exciting so far
Why is this JDrama boring so far? I’ve finished up to Episode 3 and dread moving on but will watch to the end since it’s only 10 episodes and the ML is adorable. The FL is a flop. She is very insecure, immature and whiny. I’m not feeling the romantic chemistry. Probably because I just finished watching the CDrama - Speed and Love which was an incredible love story with strong over the top chemistry between the leads and realistic intense kissing scenes. It’s hard to lower my expectations with this one.Was this review helpful to you?

Bem água com açúcar
A proposta do dorama é até bonita: leve, delicada, com aquele jeitinho japonês de contar histórias através de gestos simples, silêncios e comida (os tais bolinhos de arroz 🍙). Só que, na prática… fica tudo muito morno.A trama se arrasta em vários momentos, sem grandes conflitos ou reviravoltas que realmente prendam. É aquele tipo de história bem “água com açúcar”, onde você espera que em algum momento algo mais intenso aconteça — mas não acontece.
Os personagens são fofos, sim, mas faltou profundidade. O romance então… quase não evolui. Fica naquele vai-não-vai eterno, e quando você acha que finalmente vai ter alguma entrega emocional… simplesmente não vem.
E o final? Sinceramente, decepcionante. Depois de acompanhar tudo, o mínimo que a gente esperava era ver os dois juntos, independente da distância.
No geral, é um dorama que pode agradar quem gosta de histórias extremamente leves e contemplativas. Mas pra quem espera emoção, desenvolvimento e um romance que realmente aconteça… provavelmente vai sair frustrada.
Bonitinho, mas esquecível!

Parecidos por fora, diferentes no tempero
TEMAS: Amor intercultural | Identidade | Solidão leve | Pertencimento | Comunicação emocional | Cotidiano | AutoconhecimentoAssistir Bolinhos de Arroz para mim foi aquela experiência gostosa de ver uma história simples que, sem fazer barulho, entrega muito mais do que parece.
A ideia gira em torno de duas pessoas que, à primeira vista, são quase iguais. Mesmos gostos, mesma vibe, aquele encaixe que faz pensar, pronto, deu match fácil. Só que não. Conforme a história avança, eu fui percebendo que o interessante não está no que eles têm de igual, mas justamente nas diferenças sutis.
E é aí que o drama ganha charme.
Eu gosto muito de histórias que usam coisas do cotidiano como metáfora, e aqui isso aparece de um jeito leve, quase poético. Pequenos hábitos, escolhas, jeitos de ver o mundo, tudo vai mostrando que relacionamento não é sobre ser igualzinho, é sobre aprender a lidar com o que não é.
O clima é leve, com momentos fofos, outros mais reflexivos, nada pesado demais, mas também não é vazio. Tem conteúdo ali, só que servido com delicadeza, tipo comfort drama mesmo.
E confesso, me pegou essa ideia simples, duas pessoas podem até parecer iguais por fora, mas cada uma carrega um universo próprio por dentro.
No fim, eu fiquei com aquela sensação boa de que amor não é sobre encaixe perfeito, é sobre ajuste fino, feito no dia a dia, com paciência e curiosidade.
Impressão final, um drama leve, sensível e charmoso, daqueles que aquecem sem pesar, lembrando que as melhores conexões não são as idênticas, são as que aprendem a se complementar.

そこは控えた方がよくない？
主人公が韓国人だからってそんなに韓国語を使う理由にはならないよ。そもそも日本ドラマなんだし！
シーンに出てくる韓国語の大半が、日本人からしたら興味がないし、聞くことさえ面倒くさくてできない。
それにしても、ストーリー自体はいいけど、使い方がよくない！！
楽しい恋愛ドラマかと思ったのに、結局シーンが急ぎ足で支離滅裂だったんだよね。
多分俺は期待しすぎたのかな…まぁ基本的に楽しくなかったからおすすめしない。
