Beautiful, sentimental but overall underwhelming
If you require a quick emotional fix, this show has what you need. However, If you want a show with flushed-out plotlines, no cliches, and lots of romance and you might want to skip this one.
There are several storylines with many characters experiencing their own unique issues. The characters and their vulnerabilities really grasped my attention for the first 6 episodes. However, it eventually led to its own downfall. There was too much, which inevitably left us feeling like there was too little. There were too many plot lines which made the viewer felt like they needed a flow chart to keep up. Additionally, there was not enough time to fully flush out each plot device, so the result felt choppy and fast. However, it also felt agonizingly slow as the main plots dragged on and on.
Perhaps this is simply due to my own taste, but I found it redundant the number of times the main female lead would consistently getting into unnecessary danger. This danger only happens before the main couple becomes a couple, so it came off as a cheap plot device to push the male to "notice" his feeling. It's a cliche drama device, so I can't be too mad at it. She eventually experiences something that impacts a major part of her character and gets over it relatively quickly, and it's rarely addressed afterwords. Additionally, the main couple hardly gets any screen time, and although they have great chemistry, it really didn't showcase the joyous feelings of being in love.
The food and cooking aspects were great. The stories of the patients were beautiful and sentimental. I cried quite a bit, honestly. The acting was amazing, and the character's backstories and personalities were given as much depth as possible, given the vastness of the cast. Additionally, the visuals were beautiful and emulated the peaceful nature of a hospice.
Overall, this is a good drama, but I won't rewatch it. There was too much going on, and I wished they would've cut down on the subplots and invested more time on the major characters and the major plot lines. I got bored often and honestly fast-forwarded some of the more boring subplots :////
