I was surprised to find myself liking this drama a great deal. Both the cast and acting was excellent (although over the top at times - Takashi bursts into tears nearly EVERY episode and I swear I saw Tetta foaming at the mouth a few times). After a few episodes, lines like "ruin this sushi and I'll take your life!" will seem perfectly natural. Funny, warm and touching sushi.

A charming and riveting tale acted out wonderfully by Takashi and the rest of the cast. The individual episode plots were very well balanced and infused with a good mix of manga-like comedy, seriousness, and a strong sense of spirit and determination. Of the doramas I've seen from Takashi, this is undisputedly his best role. With a strong supporting cast and a worthy OST to accompany the series, this dorama (despite its slightly longer-than-usual length at 17 eps) is well worth watching.

well
