This show is so cute! It was both funny and heartwarming. I was LOL-ing and crying equally. The leads were so perfect for each other and they really complemented each other, while growing together. The food and recipes were not a gimmick, but more like a vehicle for showing gratitude, for making up, for saying "I'm sorry", for saying "Thank you" and for expressing love. It was so cozy to watch this drama, and I especially loved the grocery shopping scenes while realizing I spend too much money on fancy tomatoes! The show explored sensitive topics for the Japanese society, but did it in a very balanced and informative way and I cannot see why someone would take offence in how gay couples were portrayed. Watch it, you will get all the fuzzy feelings, but be prepared to salivate!
