A great drama with a great taste that leaves you wanting more. Story: The story i thoroughly enjoyed for the most part but there was some let downs surrounds the characters and their relationships. With out going into to much details i felt although what i wanted and assumed would happen did not and it left me feeling a little unsatisfied. But that aside this was a great drama, As i am not one who really likes food dramas this one was quite a nice change. The story makes you want to fight on with the characters and you will find yourself laughing out loud with them as well as getting angry with them. Acting/Cast: The cast was very well chosen for this drama, 3 main people who stood out for me were Okusu Chie played by Takimoto Miori who plays the main female role she captured the sweet and innocent yet clumsy characteristic of Chie so well. Aso Tokio played by the great Iagaki Goro, If there ever was a man to play a disturbed villain than this is your man its just something about his eyes that leave you feeling slightly scared yet intrigued he first caught my eye in the drama "In the Room" and since has made a big impression on me after watching this drama i find him to be an amazing actor. And lastly Ebina Musuko who on here was put as Chikako and not Musuko like it was in the drama who was played by the fabulous Karagiri Hairi, words can not express the amount of love i had for her character although i do wish they would have finally elaborated on her whole life stories she always tried to tell. She was simply the pick for my she was a whole bunch on funny and awkward and just randomly weird but yet you love her so much. Music: Was not to bad but i wish they would have stayed away from the V-kei thing they had going on for a while. I did really love the choice of rock songs and french influenced music but i felt they could have had so much more suited songs to play. Rewatch Value: I would probably not watch this again unless it had a second season then i may rewatch to catch up again. Some may actually want to rewatch this as it is a great drama but personally i try not to rewatch many dramas and movies as i have so many i need to still watch. Overall: I gave it an 8 not because it was a bad drama but i felt it lacked in the "Make everything happy at the end" department. I would have loved to see E x C or T x C happen but alas it didn't and that left me a little bummed.
