When it was announced I thought it would be nice. I watched Mitsuki's guesting in one of a variety and she's a big fan of mangas. Felt like this drama special was like a food manga. Story wise it has a nice pace. We follow on the journey of Sachiko trying to forget her man with food so spoiler alert it has a lot of food scenes! Do watch with food. Acting is great! There is not that many of casts but each casts portrayed well especially Mitsuki. Would recommend for anyone looking for something light to watch! Was this review helpful to you?

Another SP that is...nothing special!
And here I am, once again commenting on a SP episode with the (by now, I'll admit, a bit trite) pun "another SP that is...nothing special!" ^_^;;;The premise seemed like it could be developed into one of those quirky comedies Japan is quite good at, but imho what we have here is just a load of quirkiness without anything else, so it ends up being weird but neither funny nor particularly entertaining.
The fault lies with the script, which feels both tremendously shallow and terribly incomplete (things happens without the least explanation, the story is totally unresolved, the very quirkiness of the FL doesn't get a background story, we're just supposed to accept that she behaves like a robot without ever getting to know *why*!)
Takahata Mitsuki is beautiful and also a good actress, but here the lousy script compells her not to show the least emotion for, like 95% of the story - only in the final scene, when her character is finally allowed to open up, can she show her (remarkable) acting skills! Such a waste of her talent....T____T
Last note about the food: way too simple and unappealing.
4/10 (and I feel like I'm being generous! >__<)
