Nice drama
I had recently finished watching 'queen of lunchtime cuisine' which was one of my favs, so I was in the mood for another food related drama.
The first few episodes were particularly engaging and the plot was progressing steadily albeit slightly predictable. But near the end I also thought it went a little out of control and off topic, though it quickly wrapped up in the end. The ending wasn't satisfying and was too vague for my liking. There was no clear direction on the main couples at the end, even while half of the episodes were going quite strong on the romance part. I don't get the point of having M x E while literally hinting at C x E at the same time. will she be a homewrecker?? i think this drama tried to achieve too many goals and ended up losing sight of their main direction. The two main themes are not well blended together and the romance side is stagnant or plain indecisive.
The drama was surprisingly not that food focused to my dismay. While there were pretty closeup shots of food, there wasn't much depiction of the actual preparing and cooking side of a restaurant.
I got pretty tired with Eisuke at the end as he was just plain annoying and felt so flat. on the other hand Taku was a delight to see, having such an upbeat personality and his friendly banter with all the other characters felt pretty authentic.
In fact Eisuke makes me so frustrated I might not be watching any of his dramas again for a while.
Acting overall was solid among the other characters but I felt Chie was stiff.
The songs kept repeating as well so that was quite boring at the end.
The first few episodes really had me invested in this drama and I would've thought it'd into one of my fav dramas but I guess I expected too much. Overall I recommend it, but I would not rewatch.
