This drama was really amazing! Ando natsu is a girl who is majoring to be a patisserie,she goes to Tokyo to meet her best friend where he introduces her to work at the very popular Japanese confectionery "Mangetsudo". It is run by the veteran confectioner Umekichi, Takezo, and Mitsuko, although her job description is a sales assistant. Ando natsu becomes more and more interested into the world of Japanese confection. she asks her boss to make traditional confectionary herself. I really love how it's filmed in Edo jidai and old Asakusa looks so pretty and historical ♥ ♥ ♥

This is a really adorable drama.



It is not for people who like heavy drama, mystery, suspense, or romance.

It's the type of drama you could watch with your 8 year old cousin.



The town of Asakusa can be considered an additional character in this drama. After watching a few episodes, I researched Asakusa to understand a little bit about its history. The beautiful wagashi they made in the shop act as a Greek chours.



The characters are down to earth, but slightly idealistic and don't evolve much. I grew to sympathize with each of the characters and found myself invested in their lives and community.



This story is about family, personal struggles, depending on others to support you and finding the ability to support yourself. A little bit like the After School Specials we had in the US. I would suggest this drama to someone looking for a light hearted, family centered story.
