Synopsis

Eisuke (Osamu Mukasi) was a former bassist of a rock band decided to re-open his mother French restaurant Le Petit Chou with his friends from the band. Eisuke got competition from an owner of another French Restaurant called GASTEREA, Aso Tokio (Inagaki Goro), who deceived Eisuke's father to get Eisuke's mother restaurant after she passed away. There's also a love triangle between Eisuke and her girlfriend Maria and Chie, the daughter of a vegetable farmer that fell in love with Eisuke's cooking.

Opinion
I attracted to watch it because of Osamu Mukai and about French cuisine. Well, I got the view of French Cuisine and their problematic to-keep-going of their French Restaurant which is good but somehow I didn't really enjoy the love triangle between Maria-Eisuke-Chie. After all I think it's just a so-so dorama that only once you've seen it then it's enough.

Actor/Actress Attractor

• Osamu Mukai, playing as Yamate Eisuke. It's just fine acting of Osamu Mukai but I love it when his characters got obsessed with cooking. I think I always got fetish with an actor who looks good when cooking. That also happened when MatsuJun became Bambino. Osamu Mukai had the basic cooking from Bambino too I think as he plays as another apprentice with MatsuJun in there.
• Tsukamoto Takashi, playing as Sumiyoshi Kenta is Osamu Mukai's best friend also right hand in handling the restaurant. He's always nice as supporting role position just like in Kisarazu Cat's Eye.
• Inagaki Goro, playing as Aso Tokio, the character who got obsessed in a cuisine business. I always find that Inagaki Goro is the one who good at playing as antagonist characters. He can make a character that convincingly despicable.
• Other characters that I like is HIratsuka Taku played by Miura Shohei. His character is the mood maker in the restaurant and he's so cute. I shipped him with Chie but just like Hanazawa Rui from HYD or Nakatsu Shuichi from Hana-Kimi he didn't get Chie.

Rating
