Good Story Messages

The first 3 episodes I had to push myself to keep watching because the FL was irritating. However the rest of the show was good.

Likes: They didn't linger too long during misunderstandings that caused conflicts, but did give it enough time to seize the viewer without creating anxiety. This is something a lot of dramas don't know how to do properly. I liked the friendship aspect of all the relationships. The chemistry was lacking between FL and ML but also FL and 2ML (Orca). I also liked how this show tackled social media and using a cell phone. The way they show us how it can really affect our lives, both publicly and on an individual level. The scenery of where the FL and ML would venture to, was beautiful. The food images made me hungry and wanting to try it all! Production was really good too, no shaky camera moments to give me a headache. I liked the character development of both the FL and ML , and also the painter and the online shrink.

Dislikes: Some of the supporting character romances were unnecessary and didn't add to the story (like FL's co-workers). That film time could've been used for the ending, as it felt rushed. The music was 50/50 because in the beginning I disliked it, but some of the music in the later half of the show was good. I didn't like the directing in that the FL sometimes hesitated too long or the ML should've hugged or held her hand or did something a boyfriend would do to offer support, encouragement and even comfort. Also they could have used the FL online influence to bring more attention/business to the ML's food truck, which would mesh their two world together better.

Overall it was a good watch, I would recommend it as an enjoyable and easy drama. Solid 6/10
