This follows the same formula as Season 1 of Let's Eat. The only character that returns in the Male Lead, our Empty Plate food blogger. Season 2 is just blah because we were let down by the terrible storyline, vapid and often annoying characters and ridiculous situations.

The Good things about this series is they still did great justice to the food, which looks both mouthwatering AND Tasty. They sprinkle in bits of "food" education, but if you're watching this series for the food you'll be completely satisfied. The Male Lead also does a great job at keeping his character fresh, interesting and likeable. This is despite him being surrounded by a collection the most annoying characters ever, including:-
* obligatory nagging busy body elder
* stingy landlord
* drunk , needy co-dependant boss / friend
* social climbing gossiping co worker
* crazy loner psycho tenant
* excessively swearing rich love interest
* beautiful lady who "uses" men
* formerly fat neighbor with food hangups who exercises a lot and basically her tortured relationship with food kind ruined a lot of the happy eating scenes for me. Also the acting was kind of one note for this character.

Also I have mixed feelings about them not calling animal control or some rescue group to take in what is clearly a very cute, purebred dog, who has been "dumped" in the streets. Poor doggo deserves better. One of them should have adopted him, really.

I did finish the series for the food and the cute dog, but contemplated dropping it numerous times just because I was too tempted to just fast forward through the annoying story.
