healing slice-of-life stories set in the countryside with cinematic cooking and eating scene. personally, the cinematography of the makanai closer to korean adaptation of little forest rather than the japanese adaptation.
I guess makanai-san mangaka took inspiration from it it's a classic story to begin with. There are many versions but I would choose the Haru Kuroki version anyday.
Modern times but traditional values still used. Might not be logical but when I was wounding why I liked this show besides the underdog plot.... I decided it was the traditions staying the same. This other drama popped right into my head as being the same style.
