Eda Maki works for an advertising agency at a large company. She is single and doesn't have good luck with men. She also isn't very good at cooking and likes eating junk food. One day, she meets Katayama Nagisa. He is an art teacher and a vegetarian. Unlike Maki, Nagisa cooks very well. The two people then happen to live together. Maki realizes that she is in love with Nagisa, but Nagisa is gay. Through his cooking, they solve their own problems and become important to each other. (Source: The Grand Cinema) ~~ Adapted from the manga series "Nigakute Amai" (にがくてあまい) by Kobayashi Yumio (小林ユミヲ). Edit Translation

Just randomly picked this movie from my collections. They should put friendship, comedy and food as the genre too though. And yes, if you are searching for romance, this movie is not for you. Barely there romance, yes. I don't know about the manga tho, since it is a webtoon and I rarely read webtoon so I don't know the ending of this manga.

It focus on how the heroine is trying to catch the hero's attention. The movie is very comedic, I laugh often on her ways to attract the guy. It is more on how their friendship blooms, how the guy taught her on life through foods so yeah, their relationship is kind of sweet.

I watched Kawaguchi Haruna's previous drama and I must say she improved a lot in this movie. She delivered that desperate woman's act successfully. This is the first time I watch something with Hayashi Kento, he is good, an eye candy too.

The ending made you want to know more, kind of hoping for a continuation of this movie. This movie is short, about an hour and half only so if you want something light heartening you can try pick this movie. Recommended.
