The Feel-Good Part:
This drama should be called slices of life or motivational drama rather than a comedy. This drama gives you an invisible strength. When Sarukawa finds it hard for him to continue in the new environment of the office, his boss wants to help him. His motto is to help those who need to survive a complicated situation so that they can grow further. The same happens with Sarukawa. This drama gives you a ray of hope in the base of food. The emotions are shown here in the form of food, just like Sarukawa, who can’t stand spicy food and at last, is able to overcome that hurdle. The actors are good in their roles. The OSTs are exceptionally beautiful. The songs really motivate you.
Star Power:
Kiriyama Akito as Sarukawa Kenta and Izumi Rika as Okochi Yuma have performed in lead roles. Though the actors are good they do not really stand out.
The Disappointing Factor:
Those who will start watching the drama hoping for a comedy will be disappointed as this is not a comedy-drama. It portrays the real face of struggle, which is anything but comedy. Sometimes the plot loses its flow and fails to give that emotion.
In-Depth Analysis:
The plot of the drama is just magnificent. Such a motivational drama with a touch of food is rare. You can enjoy the development of Sarukawa from a newly transferred guy to an inseparable part of his current department. There lies the essence of this drama. It shows that life is full of thorns but determination can change your life. The happy-go-lucky character of Ryosuke helps to continue the drama without getting bored.
Overall opinion:
Those who prefer to watch motivational drama should give it a try, and for those who like comedy, this may not be their cup of tea, but this drama is worth watching at least once. Hence for new and experienced viewers should watch it.
