Hot and Sweet (2016)

Since this is a web drama, it lacks the depth that one might find in a normal 16-20 episode run; nonetheless, I walked into this drama with absolutely the lowest expectations (web dramas disappoint me too often) and left with a keen appreciation of Hot and Sweet.

AOA's Yuna is too darn cute, and while her character is a bit annoying at times and some of her actions confused me, she portrayed the character well for 8 short episodes. Choi Min Hwan did a great job as the male lead, who was flawed too, but nonetheless, he and Yuna's chemistry was fun to watch on screen; when they were cute, they were REALLY cute.   The ending was very rushed, however, as lots of web dramas are, but the very last few minutes of the drama exceeded my expectations. I wish the characters had a chance to be more fleshed out and I wish the writers had time to give us more background on each character, but alas, that is the struggle of the web drama.

I gave the drama an 7.5 mostly because I did walk in with such low expectations and was actually pleasantly surprised by the end result.

Also, I advise you not to watch the drama HUNGRY, because all the food made my stomach growl sooooo much; the burgers looked absolutely scrumptious. If you want to watch a short, mini drama that displays beautiful food and a cute couple, I recommend this one! It's not too deep and entertains quite well.
