This is a lovely little gem of a show with so much heart at the core.
I would highly recommend it if you are in the mood for a show that is thoughtful and touching in tone, with good believable actors portraying interesting characters.
Sure the backstories to each character are nothing we haven't seen portrayed in a kdrama before but each story is handled concisely with compassion and hope making it uplifting viewing instead of the usual angst.
With a short run time of approximately 3 hours, flashback scenes are cleverly used to provide nuance and depth to the characters.
It's not a demanding watch or dialogue heavy, simply following the motto of "less is more" which works well with the overall story arc.
One of the main themes the show examines is families, biological and found and how each can have a profound effect on their lives.
The only little issue I have is with the camera at the cafe, I wish they had thought of another way to keep up with what was happening there but other than that it was a delightful way to spend time in kdrama land.
I will miss the show and always look back on it fondly - surely if a show leaves us feeling this, it's a sign of doing their job well.

Very sweet, well produced and written show, that despite its short run time, manages to pack a lot of emotions and wholesomeness in!!
Considering food being one of the central themes, I'll run with an attempt at a food analogy review: to me this show was like a really well made macaron. Lots of care and attention that went into the making and crafting of the final product, with just the right amount of sweetness and richness of taste to leave you feeling satisfied with that 'ah this was perfect, just what I needed' feeling).
