Food, friendship and faith in oneself.

Even in a show that was ridiculously funny, they still managed to make me sentimental. The expectation that Ji Hoon would shine more than anyone else with his exceptional acting, here I would admit Hong-nae brought the feels more than anyone else. I couldn't help but feel drawn to his performances throughout.

Using cooking as an avenue to bring comraderie and belief in oneself was a nice premise. Light enought to be funny and heavy enough to include criminals with the right amount of gravity. I liked Ye-rin's determined level headed approach when she stood up as the lone female officer. Giving support to all.

I will miss this series. I half expected slap stick humour but they all did great with the script and physical delivery. I am happy that Ji-hoon took a chance on this but at any moment I was expecting him to cry. His very expressive eyes. All the prominent actors did well delivering a very believable rivalry. Coming off of the Bloodhounds series, Sang Yi continued his success onscreen. A worthy addition and I was grateful that his cameo was extended to a full main role.

Really worth the 8 rating.
