Stop looking for steak and try cabbage instead
The plot is simple. A 29 year old woman who forms an image of a Mr Right or Steak as she calls it, after a breakup, and doesn't want to settle for anything less. During Covid, she meets someone in an online game and hits it off. But will it be the same when she meets the guy in person? Is he her Mr Right or will she impose the idea of her perfect man on him?
And it's not just about her perspective. The drama has several characters who are all trying their best in life.
The story is realistic and talks about the insecurities and struggle that comes with online dating. It also talks about the impact of Covid in working space as well as personal relationships.
I personally wanted one more episode. Or 15 more minutes to see how they would work it out in the future ( and Misaki finding out all the office secrets).
In terms of acting, I found it very realistic. And that's the thing about japanese dramas. Both the acting and stories are relatable. It's not a fairytale romance or a domineering CEO kind. It's something we might see in every day life.
What you should expect: Slice of life. Realistic scenarios. Expectation vs reality when it comes to online dating. All kinds of love - young, middle aged and mature.
What you should not expect: Skinship. Lot of bubbly cdrama/kdrama like moments or romantic gestures.
