As a Japanophile who has spent a lot of summers in Kyoto, I enjoyed this Amazon Prime original series. It's really a genteel soap opera centered around a high-end and long-lived sweet shop run by a widowed proprietress with three daughters and a skilled young chef.
Kyoto is one of the most traditional cities in Japan and this drama takes place in a traditional home where three sisters must work out love, duty, and family. Nothing too crazy here but it's a humble and honoring look into a specific cultural world (that ups the ante of even the usual frustration of asian dramas where you'd hope your protagonist would say what they really feel...
An adorable fable of modern love set in magnificent Kyoto, a city I had previously fallen in love with and remembered as magical as portrayed here. Nothing too serious other than a light-hearted romp through the romance of young lives dealing with the vagaries of the heart.
