Prepare a Snack While Watching, Believe Me
"A must watch series! Heartwarming, funny, scary, you name it!" I told this again and again to my friends when they asked why I recommend this drama for them to watch.The story revolves around the Master and his small eatery with no actual menu, customers can ask him to cook up anything and he'll make it (as long as he has the ingredients in his well stocked pantry). Each 30 mins+ episode will highlight one customer and their signature dish that will be linked to their current problem. Since the drama tells different story every episode, you can watch it as something to keep you entertained while waiting for your current drama to air or if you're like me, to research the dish and try to make it IRL (I have actually ended up pausing an episode to go and cook up some Jjigae like the Master always do at the opening...in the middle of the night).
For me, I like this Korean version better than the Japanese one though. Don't get me wrong, Shinya Shoukudo has it's own charm, it's just that the Korean Late Night Restaurant have this serene aura. A quaint place where people can really let themselves loose.

A Must Watch Drama from OCN!
I actually found The Guest by chance when my friend shared a clip of the first episode on Instagram. We decided to check it out (even though both of us are scaredy cats) and that was one of the best decision we ever made. Yes it scared us once in a while, but it was worthed!The drama opened up with what happened to the 3 main characters in the past and how their lives are linked again together afterwards. The main characters fought among themselves and their relationship turns into something sibling-like along the way, each with their own specialty (Hwapyung with his "sight", Holy Priest Mateo, and Gil Young who will kick everyone's ass into pulp). The plot thickens and there are lots of surprises along the way. every episode will leave you wanting to watch more to know what's gonna happen next. You won't be bored by this drama!
Currently rewatching it just because. I heard that they are going to be making a movie based on this drama...I'd rather they made a 2nd season from this one (please OCN?)

Started watching this drama a bit late because I became a fan of Gen Hoshino and found out that he's also an actor. It brought up some topics that so many people are thinking about. Marriage, Housings, Money. The arrangement between Hiramasa and Mikuri might be one of the better solution hahaha. Really recommending it as a pick me up series to watch because you won't have the time to be sad while watching Hiramasa and Mikuri trying to work through their contract. The story are kinda fast paced (for me at least since I'm used to watching K-Dramas with the minimum episodes of 12 / 16), but they tell it in a flowing way so it didn't overwhelm the audience with so much data right at the beginning.
The supporting characters around the main couple are a band of unique and interesting personalities, Yuri and Numata are my favorites...look out for Mikuri's sister in law too btw (cue to her Kabedon-ing Chigaya at their parents' house)
The awkwardness between Mikuri and Hiramasa is just too cute!! My favorite scene between the 2 of them is the one where they practiced hugging and when Hiramasa tried to hide that Cobra extract from Mikuri hahahah
