The series is really different from anything I've ever watched. Somehow it resembles more the Japanese lifestyle YouTubers that I've followed. It's labelled as "drama" but it borders a new genre almost. The series is so naturally written, acted and directed that it seems like a reality show. It is not rushed at all, which is really nice. There is time for little details of the cooking, of the food, studying ingredients, talking to food, smiles, jokes, etc. The characters are (mostly) super cute, friendly, beautiful and innocent. There is no real conflict but the story moves on, almost in the background somehow. It is really sweet and I find it quite refreshing. It took me a while to realize it's set in modern times, the maikos have mobile phones and stuff, but it looks and feels more like a period series. I personally love it.
