Say you were a single woman at a marriageable age and a young, charming, and wealthy man of high social standing proposed to you. What would you do?
Suzuko Shiraishi, a strong-minded attractive female chef, is known for her foul mouth and masterly cooking skills. With an attitude like hers, she would reject such a proposal without a doubt. Suzuko works at an Italian restaurant and dreams of opening her own restaurant someday. A new manager is hired for the Italian restaurant – Haruki Katsuragi, a naïve and stinking rich young fellow. Suzuko wants the restaurant to be an authentic Italian cuisine with mass appeal but Haruki demands a high-end place designed especially for celebrities. The two don’t click from the start. Will there be a tasty proposal? This drama is an entertaining romantic comedy about an independent woman and a young rich guy.

====================
Okies~ after watching, i thought that the 2 main characters lacked chemistry...but the guy is really sweet, especially towards the end~!
I actually thought that the story in the beginning, where haruki was in love with his late brother's fiance was even more touching~! It was so sad how the 2 actually liked each other, but because haruki reminded the girl of her late fiance too much that she decided to leave...
The ending was a little unpredictable...for 5 minutes XD
and then the rest was pretty much how a romance drama would end (that practically gave everything away, didn't it)
yupz~ overall~ i thought the story was ok, nothing totally out of the ordinary~ i was just disappointed at the lack of chemistry...but it was nice to see keisuke in a lead role~ although i don't think the ratings were all that great..so, not suer if we'll see more of him in the lead anytime soon XD
overall~ 8.7/10
