"A Good Supper" is a family drama about Gyung Soo, a young man who finds a lost girl and ends up raising her as his own, naming her Young Shin. The two develop a strong bond. Gyung Soo runs a restaurant and after Young Shin grows up, she helps him by working there, making the restaurant a home for many people.
At the beginning of the drama, Young Shin was very much in love with Jung Hoon, she even thought about running away with him, but she didn't do it because of Da Jung. When Jung Hoon came back, their relationship almost became real, but it stopped again because of Da Jung. But then, out of nowhere, Young Shin's feelings change and she starts rejecting Jung Hoon, even when there are no obstacles to them... and then she says that she loves Gyung Soo and that it has always been like this. I understand her feelings, since Gyung Soo raised her and was the person she depended on her entire life, but since their love couldn't happen, she stays in that misery all the time, saying that she will stay by his side, just looking at him, but Gyung Soo ends up with a terminal illness and then Young Shin only decides to marry Jung Hoon because Gyung Soo forces her to, because she was going to kill herself after Gyung Soo died!
Da Jung is a much more interesting character than Young Shin. I had so much fun with Da Jung's freakouts, from a calm girl, she gained an attitude (not a very good one) and caused such funny scandals and because of that, Da Jung realized who was the person who truly loved her and would be by her side even if the whole world hated her: Oh Bok.
This couple is so cute, I was rooting for them from the beginning, but Da Jung insisted on wanting Jung Hoon and I didn't understand why.
Gyung Soo is really the poor guy in this drama, he basically just suffered during these 120 episodes. He was the person who most deserved to have his happy ending, even though we knew that it was more than impossible, since the way they wrote the story didn't let his love work out.
How could we accept him being with Young Shin, since he raised her since she was a child?! It's so weird, even though I wanted to root for them, the situation was too awkward. They could have developed it differently, having Young Shin be raised by the other people in the village and having her come to the restaurant for dinner every night. Even with the age difference between them, it would have been possible to put a relationship in a very natural way, with the years passing by.
I left the worst character for last, the most absurd and the one that makes no sense at all: Choi Sook Jung. This woman committed several crimes during the drama, including murder and some attempts at it. She lied, deceived her husband her entire life, abandoned her son and after the poor guy had amnesia, tried to deceive him that she was a good mother... despite all this, how the hell did she not end up in jail?! How is this possible?
I can't even describe in words what it was like to watch this drama. Honestly, it seems like the scriptwriter of this story must be bipolar, because the pace and focus change so suddenly and abruptly that it becomes difficult to follow and understand what will happen next. In my opinion, the first episodes were the best, the characters shouldn't have grown up and remained children forever, since the best part of the drama is in those moments. It got to a point where the story is too sad to bear, only bad things happen, it makes you depressed.
