Unpretentious entertainment
This drama is a light-hearted take on the "two strangers fall for each other, but some obstacle makes their love impossible" formula, with a side of bento.
The two leads are very cute together. Their honesty to each other is refreshing.
The supporting characters are just that: supporting characters. With the exception of the two over-the-top rival bosses, they mostly come to help advance the story, and then disappear without much development. I felt this was a shame because some are really lovely and deserved more screen-time.
The writers spared us most of the annoying tropes such as love triangles and silly misunderstandings. As a result, this drama is a frustration-free, easy-to-watch and ease-to-forget, cute little drama.
For those learning Japanese, this drama is on the easier side. It's day-to-day Japanese delivered at a normal pace (except maybe for the manga-ppoi rival bosses!). It's also a fun opportunity to learn more about the different sorts of bento. Viky has Japanese subs.
