Kitchen for Singles (2019)

What a soothing little show. It is completely zen, from her voice in off to her cooking to her little, pretty apartment and nice songs in the background. I am thinking of rewatching this every time I feel stressed out (it is just an 12-episode length of around 8minutes long each episode, and it is on Youtube! to watch it legally ?)

If you need something relaxing after a long day, just like the FL when she comes home, watch this nice little show. She provides the recipe of every dinner she makes, and the expression on her face when she says おいしい will make you smile instantly.

Surrendering to the Flow of Time

"Today, the time seems to flow at a leisurely pace. Why don't I just surrender myself to that flow?" - Natsuki

The amount of warmth my soul received is illegal. I'm sure that speaks volumes about how much I adore this miniseries. Kitchen For Singles is an 8-episode miniseries that lasts around 9 minutes each. I’m happy to say that this small production exceptionally soothed my heart and lifted my spirits.

This tranquil and harmonious atmosphere pervades throughout the drama. I'm not sure about others, but the vibe made me want to pick up a book and read for hours on end. The music is soft and mellow, at times, it's the sort of music that makes you want to jam to alone in your bedroom. The soft-spoken voice of actress Matsumoto Kiyo is appropriate for the drama. Her voice-over narration, along with the music, is flawlessly infused with everything.

Can we also discuss her kitchen? It's so cluttered, but it gives the kitchen so much character. Her entire apartment is warm and inviting. It really does make me want to move to an apartment myself, and live like Natsuki lol. The culinary aspect of the drama was also well-done. The food looked delightful. And as I expected, there isn't much to the story. Nonetheless, I was captivated by the drama. The whole vibe of it is deserving of a 9/10.
