Sweet Munchies on Netflix. This show's description doesn't really let you know what the theme really is about, which is a recent social issue that isn't normally portrayed on K-Drama. I knew that when I watched this - as I wanted to see it because of the lead male Il-Woo Jung who I love in his other acting works. I read it about it in a bio so wanted to see for myself how he did in this male role. All my 7 stars go to him, as he made the series for me, and without him as the lead I would not have liked it at all, but I think he did a great job portraying both the chef and the lead character as the script was written. The series does have some light serious moments, as always with Il-Woo Jung and that is why I like watching him as he always pulls those off perfectly. Will mention I think he had more romantic kisses in this show than other series' I have seen.
Overall, I noticed alot of subdued hints at humor in the writing that are hidden and if you look hard enough will get it as it relates to the theme - such as his tag line for his restaurant - Sweet Munchies - come for a sweet snack at midnight, etc. These type of things seem to pop up throughout if you look hard enough that after awhile you just can't miss them and have to laugh if you have a sense of humor. As for the main lead, it gets lightly humorous about halfway through the series when the love triangle each has the wrong idea about each other.
The seriousness of the show however was a downer and I didn't especially like the ending, however because of the serious nature of how it was turning out in the end, it would have been hard to devise an ending to this, so in that sense it was satisfactory.
