The value of a meal

I live in Appalachia, which is a part of the United States that has it's own indigenous culture of family meals. What I've learned about Asian dramas and entertainment is that this is a worldwide phenomenon, not just a local custom. "Have you eaten?" is sometimes the first sentence a guest or family member hears as they enter the doorway with the next being, "let me fix you something to eat while you sit and talk to me while I cook".

This drama exemplifies several points about family and does so without being preachy or pretentious. We're human with flaws and driven to decisions that effect the present and future. Yu Hao is a character who strives to always be the better competitor in the cutthroat business world while Su Ke Lan is someone who realizes the importance of family moments. The clash and understanding between the exchange of characters is realistic and wielded brilliantly between actors and script.

I love this drama because it's light and understands the importance, especially in the cell phone world we live, about the gold standard value of sitting down to a meal. I highly recommend it for someone wanting to watch comedy, family and romance rolled into one. You definitely won't be disappointed.
