●I took my time for the show to grow on me, so it was 8 ep (or say 4ep of 1hour) that clenched me to watch it until end. I was literally slow watching 1ep a day and wanted to give up but health-care is my profession so didn’t want to drop it. Good drama, enjoyable but failed to impress on psychiatry and the treatment basis. I liked all the deep and meaningful conversations happening throughout not just the leads but everyone. They were touching and meaningful.

●Story- everyone read the synopsis and two people meet on jeju islands and coincidently keeps on meeting. So they decide to be DINNER MATE, then there is return of the Ex's. then the story is slow and there is one more couple of a homeless man and a Female CEO, who also bond over food. This drama is more of love of food.

●Acting- everyone was amazing. My favourite is
▪︎Park-ho-san as Keanu, the homeless man. He nailed the character of homeless man. His makeup, hair, clothes, were bang on which actually made me sympathize with him.Well his laughter reminds of JANG HYUK.
▪︎Seo-ji-hye as woo do hee was amazing, I actually enjoyed her eating food scenes, as if thats the most delicious meal. She was confident and determined and knew what she wants. She always spoke her mind.
▪︎Song-seung-heon as kim hae kyung was good. I liked his character as a person but not as a psychiatrist. As the writer did poor job in researching and treating the patients. It wasn’t his fault but that aspect affected the character a lot.

●Music- each OST was exceptional. Lyrics and music perfect.
Ovan-ost1 and Yummy-ost2, its lyrics was amazing. It felt so good when I read the translation. The hunger and invitation of dinner in the lyrics was WOW. An applause to the song-writers.
Midnight Cinderella-ost5 was like a dream song. It felt as if its written for me.
Dear my star-ost3 and more than words-ost4 were also worth listening.

●Rewatch- I would watch it but not anytime soon, this drama also has lot of plot-holes, maybe I get to understand while re-watching it.

● Appreciation- I loved the proposal scene, while having food, it goes well with concept of dinner mate. Not usual like Ring and going knees.It was Simple and lovely.

●Criticism- writers should have put more effort on the clinical aspect of food, as the ML was treating them with food, he felt as nutritionist more than psychiatrist.
As this drama was also a bonding over food, I wished if they showed more good shots of food.
I was confused with the character of jae-hyuk, yes I understood him during his few scenes that he is a stalker but were the writers trying to make him into culprit or a sympathizing character.
Keanu past wasn’t written properly. He is homeless man, then he wears suit and comes to meet ML, then he again starts on his career as psychiatrist.
