This is the first time I dropped a show. I tend to finish everything no matter how bad it is, but 16 episodes is too much to bear. So much things go wrong in this show. The story is about a star teacher and a small side dish restaurant owner. How do they cross path together? Yet the writer make it in the every worst possible way: childhood relationship. The main story is boring and predictable, while the side stories are all over the places. Choi Chi-Yeol himself already has a lot of personal problems including his teaching issue, his past trauma and his digestion issue, yet they mix it up with Hae-Seong problems, the students situation, the All-Care complicated mothers, and most unnecessarily metal ball serial killer as well as the online hater. With all those, it becomes excessively too much on the plate. The romance is mature and calming, but too slow and frustrating as well (speak your feelings, seriously!). First half of the show is painfully slow and focuses to much on the students.

Most of the cast's perfromances are outshined by Jung Kyung-Ho. Roh Yoon-Seo is definitely in the same level with him here, but the third best performer here is Oh Eui-Shik as a mentally-disabled brother which means there is a problem. The chemistry between ML and FL is only bare minimum. Make up team is doing an absolutely horrendous job here. They make Chi-Yeol looks like falling in love with a fifty years old woman. I get it that they are poor, but why does she look like a fashion-blind when she can afford a Starbucks coffee maker?

Chi-Yeol is supposed to only be able to digest foods from Hae-Seong family. Yet he has seen to eat normally in multiple occassion, including when he treats Hae-Seong family to a premium restaurant. The girl that hugs Chi-Yeol earlier is disappeared, yet they somehow forget about her.

Apart from the mature romance as well as Jung Kyung-Ho and Roh Yoon-Seo performance, there aren't any reason to rewatch this show. Maybe it's just me, but if you ask, it's a no no from me.
