Plot:
    Hoshino Mitsuko is the talented three-star chef of famous French restaurant, La Cuisine de La reine, in Ginza, Tokyo. She has drawn attention not just from Japan but also the world for the new recipes she continuously conceives with her delicate palate and unrivalled creativity. Gourmands around the world visit the restaurant for her cuisine and there is a three-year wait for reservations. Mitsuko has absolute confidence that there is no one in this world who will not finish her food. But one day, trouble occurs between Mitsuko and the restaurant owner Shinoda Shogo and she is fired. She has difficulty finding a new restaurant due to Shinoda’s interference and her over-inflated pride, and ends up creating school lunches for a popular variety program by the hotshot producer Yaguchi Saki. It was believed to be something easy for Mitsuko, but she meets many obstacles and keeps failing. Moreover, this is aired on TV and made known to the world. Even so, Mitsuko does not give up and starts to create school lunches in order to hear children say her food is delicious and also regain her lost stars.

p.s. spoilers ahead.
    [read at your own risk.]This drama is entertaining enough that I finished it. A lot of the characters were annoying but thank you to the good character development, we get to see them change and grow. I still don't get Shinoda's obsession with Hoshino, though, even if he explained it in the end. All I can think of is that he's in love with her. I love the food! This drama made me hungry every time.

My Ratings: i'll give this 3.5/5 :)
