A sweet show based on a lovely manga, that introduces people to characters that you do not often see represented in movies and shows imported to our shores from Japan. Sex Trader Workers, LGBTQ, Yukaza, Immigrants, and other women and men populate this drama that at it’s core is about people looking for a connection, and meaning in life. The set is intimate and detailed. At times you almost feel like you are one of the customers at the diner. Holding it all together is the atmospheric music that intertwines the narrative. The intro song is the work of Tunekichi Suzuki and it sets the mood for the stories that follow in every episode. I hope that you enjoy this series as much as I did.

Honestly this show was epic. It was beautiful from start to finish. Really a feast for the eyes. The characters are all wonderful and when the series is finished it is like saying goodbye to old friends. The episodes move at a slower pace than most dramas that we see in the West. Don’t let this dissuade you from trying out this series. There is a history lesson in there as well, so if the viewer doesn’t already know the fraught history of Korea it is a nice place to start. I certainly learnt a lot and paused the series often to look things up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
