Story was alright, Seeing Seo Ji Hye in a new light, awful second leads

What worked:
I started out really liking the premise and the buildup of the story. Like the slowburn romance between Hae Kyung and Do Hee and the concept of food as a healing "device" for people who were heartbroken/suffering in some way. I liked both Seo Ji Hye & Song Seung Heon. The former I was glad was getting out of her usual "cold, elegant" second lead sort of status, the latter was charming. Together I liked their chemistry. Lee Ji Hoon was also good here though I was thoroughly creeped out by Jaehyeok. Never been a fan of Na Eun's acting and disliked her and her character here.

What didn't work:
I didn't really enjoy the scenes of Do Hee at her office/interacting with her colleagues. I found I didn't care for any of them, found them noisy and just fast-forwarded all their scenes. And I absolutely disliked the way her boss kept pushing her to Jae Hyeok - despite Do Hee's protests and mentions of how uncomfortable she was - and how he'd just turn up randomly at her workplace. He was so stalkerish and so creepy to the point that I had to drop the drama when he broke into her house. That shit is not funny and was incredibly triggering. And instead of telling Haekyung that Jaehyeok broke into her house, she tells him that everything is okay. EYEROLL.

The pacing/editing also sometimes didn't quite work for me. I found it boring/slow at some parts and found the romance quite slow to start up.
