Food, Romance, Destiny, Life and Death
I recently finished (as in minutes ago) Chocolate in 5 days and that just shows how addictive the show was.
The first few episodes drew me in and when the plot revolved more around the hospice, it got even more interesting.
I love a childhood/ first love romance theme, but this one made it interesting with the theme of missed opportunities and chance meetings.
The characters we interesting and loveable and the ones that were annoying were infuriating as they should be.
I enjoyed the character growth of the main cast members, especially Lee Jun. At first I was super annoyed with him, but he later grew on me. Everyone's relationships were precious as well.
Spoiler: it had to happen, but I'm still sad Min Seong had to die. His scene asking out Cha Young was adorable!!
Also idk if anyone here watches Jolly (youtube), but Min Seong legit reminds me of a Korean Josh lol
Anyway, I enjoyed the theme of a hospice and it's importance in people's lives . I find kdrama's always get me thinking about life and cherishing moments more. Sadly with just 16 episodes and taking a bit to get to the hospice, I found myself not crying at the deaths of characters. Normally I get super immersed, but with the pacing I guess I wasn't as attached to certain character's deaths. For instance (could blame squid game too lol spoiler) the grand pa always waiting for his son at a chinese place death didn't make me emotional. Where as with something like Hi, Bye, Mama!and Goblin the passing of the ghosts had me bawling tears.
I do give them props for depicting the struggles of alzheimer's on people and those around them though.
The theme of trauma and harsh expectations in a rich family were aspects I liked as well. It reminded me of the cut throat attitudes in Seri's family in CLOY. The building disaster also reminded me of Rain or Shine (Just between lovers) which may be why it was recommended as something to watch after viewing it.
I'll say this drama was quite the pallet cleanser after not enjoying One Spring Night and I believe it's a nice suggestion to watch if you liked Rain or Shine.
The only really negative thing I have to say is that I wasn't as satisfied with the ending as I thought I would be. I guess I wish there was more of a nice bow put onto the other character's story lines. Also the fact that Cha Young ran off to Greece again and Lee Kang went to go find her????
Like okay? Idk just felt funny, like it connects with how the story opened but why? XD
Anyway I still say give it a watch! Make your own opinions on it too cause I'm sure people would love to see more.
