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.

More than a drama, that's a movie, since the whole episodes are around three hours.
It was a good discovery, nothing so cheesy but a love story between two people in their late 20's with their dreams still hanging on.
It's the kind of drama to watch on a Saturday night as I did, but sadly, in my opinion, the end was really fast-forwarded...
It's okay that they made the whole story still going on, three years after the story is supposed to end, but they made it a little bit confusing....

Running away in a truck or to a truck...can love or purpose be found?

Do not know the feeling it left me… like the taste of a glass of red wine in the mouth…
It is short, so we don’t need depth and explanation of most of the things. But, at least, the feelings could be there. The beautiful beach scenes, the slow flow of the story…
Maybe in a food truck we can find ourselves or our course. Even so…
How could he not search her social media?!
Between a kiss and a hug… one year…
STORY – simple, having food gathering the 2 main characters. They share some pain, misunderstandings… And then…
ACTING – it is good, a good job of both. Since it’s short, they are not complex and don’t need to shine the actor’s abilities.
MUSIC – nice, not outstanding though.
REWATCH – don’t think so. The story is plain and simple, in a good way. Usually, I watch again some dramas or movies I love, or some scenes.
OVERALL – good to warm our heart and see some delicious food. Here we don’t have a scene to remember and, as we approach the end, I think it lacks coherence. And there are so many other things to watch.
