editSynopsis

Natsumi loves lunch. By chance she starts working for "Kitchen Macaroni", posing as the fiance of the owner's eldest son, Kenichiro. Kenichiro's father Kenzo and his three younger brothers - Yujiro, Junzaburo, and Koshiro - run the restaurant, famous for its omelet. Also working at the restaurant are Mamoru, a chef, and Minoru, a live-in apprentice cook. Not everyone has a liking to Natsumi at first, but over time they will surely fall in love with her...

    I like this drama. It's funny, has some drama in it, and an actual story with great actors. I liked the twists and turns and the plot-development. This also didn't become boring at any point, unlike so many doramas out there. Oh, and if you like reverse-harem-theme (One girl surrounded by many guys) you'll love this.

    This was pretty good as jdramas go. Not my favorite, not disappointing. I found it because I was looking for something with Takeuchi Yuko in it. If you've seen her in Pride, which I really like her in, this is a totally different side of her. The drama also has Tsumabuki Satoshi (Kei-kun from Orange Days) and Yamapi (you all know who he is!) in supporting roles. The premise is a little out there, but in an amusingly quirky way.

    The acting was decent for a comedy, although I was expecting a little more of Takeuchi. I especially liked the character development between the sons and their father. I will probably rewatch at some point. It was pretty funny, and the ending wasn't disappointing.

    I've only just realised how old this is! I cannot believe this came out in 2002! You can't tell it's that old!
