This series was enjoyable although a little boring at times. The first few episodes were all the same with Gaku being assigned a dish and then struggling with it until he had an epiphany using math. The math calculations got old and confusing.

Loved the whole kitchen crew and how they worked together so well. Kai and Gaku are just beautiful human beings and were a pleasure to watch. But too bad the writers had to throw in a mental breakdown (so to speak) for sweet Gaku. He would have never acted like that. And (no spoilers) too sad what happened with Kai.

Overall, I liked this but was just a little too complex with all the flavor and dish harmony talk. I got the gist but I had to work too hard for it.
