This drama dives into the complexities of relationships and how personal anxiety disorders inhibit communication with the people we care for most. Sosuke fears being touched after the death of his brother and Ha Na fears eye contact after the death of her mother. This unlikely pair find themselves championing a local chocolate shop and while doing so, find healing for each other. We are viewers of their trials and fears and introduced to the intricacies of chocolate making as well. Interactions between distributors and seeing them as people rather than just material suppliers adds depth to how intertwined we are with people around us, even when unaware. Kindness and courtesy are sometimes forgotten or taken for granted and this drama is quite successful at recognizing how little things matter, a loving look or touch from someone we care about and how impactful that is when done or denied. Mental health is given a more understanding environment and consideration from friends and colleagues. Work family and actual family ties are tested and this was done thoughtfully. I enjoyed this drama and have a greater appreciation for relationship ties and the happiness of chocolate. I think the actors and production did a good job with presenting complex relationships and beautiful chocolates.
