Oh my

Food and romance? I'm in! And if you were to take everything else, other than the main couple out of this drama, I would have rated it much higher. I loved them together.
Song Seung Hoon in the ML role was wonderful. I've never seen any of his other works, but he was charming and very likeable. There was something very charismatic about him.
Seo Ji Hye in the FL - loved her! I like that she's got this killer beauty about her, but she can be playful and vulnerable. They were lovely together. We got a lot of scenes of wonderful food, and quiet times of them getting to know one another.

However:
So much wasted time! Too many story lines.
The story line with her boss and the homeless doctor was silly.
A love rectangle - no thank you.
I despise the trope of the ex coming back into the picture and doing whatever to break up the main couple, just because they've decided they now want the person and they deserve to have them. The ex-girlfriend was such a character, and the ML was entirely too patient with her, letting her fawn on him, linking arms with him, etc.
Then there was the FL ex - he was LITERALLY a stalker, but she didn't call the police?!?!
I didn't like the social media story line - I'm so over this in real life, people making a living of "likes" and clicks.
We got a wedding at the end, but it was her boss and the doctor. I was robbed! Plus, what was with the vine hanging in her face?!?!

This would have made a wonderful, healing movie if it was just about the main couple.
