Hase Taiga who has been working part-time at the small restaurant "Tanomi" for three years, was once a promising young man as the ace of the university's relay team, but his past was ruined by poor performance. Although he doesn't have any particular dreams at the moment, he is beginning to feel a sense of fulfillment in his work, such as being entrusted by the owner with coming up with new menu items. Meanwhile, Park Rin, from South Korea, a graduate student studying animation is busy working on her assignments. Just when she feels relieved after somehow managing to submit her assignment just before the deadline, she receives a notice to move out of her student dormitory... However, for a foreigner, finding housing in Japan is not an easy task, and she is exhausted both physically and mentally... Then the two have a chance encounter at Tanomi. Rin is moved by the onigiri Taiga serves her, and her hunger and tiredness are gradually satisfied. Taiga is captivated by Rin's smile as she eats them deliciously. And the moment their eyes meet, an irresistible thrill flows between them. (Source: Japanese = oricon.co.jp || Translation = MyDramaList) Edit Translation

I want my time back
This started off alright and had so much potential, given both of their backgrounds but the lazy writing and horrific directing made this to be something just not worth anyones time. Add to that the woeful and lacklustre ending makes this entire drama a recipe for disaster. The fact that this is the first ever review I've written should show you how deeply I feel about this dead af drama in hopes of saving some of you who've yet to waste time on this your precious time.
nothingburger
For a show with food names+ food on the poster + a chef as the lead, this had too few cooking montages.I went in kind of expecting a show about food, different culture and how ppl are different yet all the same, and this show did have the material for that. An animater fmc from korea who is living in japan and a chef mmc who was born and brought up in japan....the perfect ingredients to a dish that was never cooked.
The only cultural thing they touched was them having different expectations on how dating looks like, other than that they did not touch this topic at all.
Pretty much nothing happens in this show. We have one conflict which is quickly solved and then an abrupt ending.
