Each episode made me hungry!

This one was so delicious!

I love eating and cooking but i usually don't watch food related Dramas.
Iam always open to new genres but now iam thinking about it, seems most of the time i play safe and stay in my comfort zone.
Silly me!

As always the main reason to start this was Kimura- Sama.My love for him grows drama by drama.
Exceptional acting from everyone.As for Mr Kimura if you don't know he is an actor you can easily mistaken him for a top chef who is just participating in the show!
An arrogant and cocky but so talented chef,with a troubled past..A very well writen character with a great character development episode by episode.As a whole the drama is well written too.Tells a story,give us the background of the main chars and we can easily follow up with the plot.

At first i thought everything is about Obana and i was excited to watch a drama focused mostly on Kimura so i could have more and more of him.
But It is not a character centered drama.Is a team centered one and i loved the dynamic of this team,their bonds and the trust they built..And i have enjoyed it more this way.
Culinary World is fancy outside and cruel inside.I think is one of the most competitive occupations.The antagonism and the jealously among high ranked chefs it is shown here in a very realistic way.

And although 90% is inside a kitchen, cooking,i never felt bored.Sometimes also i had the feeling i was watching a reality show like Master Chef.Everything felt real,believable and natural.
I have no idea if any of the actors can actually cook in real life but i woulnd't hesitate to taste their cooking,lol!

If you are a food drama lover you will definitely enjoy this.If not,still you will have fun with the story,the characters and great acting is always appreciated.

They were aiming for 3 Stars.I gave them 9!
