Sweat and tears in restaurants

[seichan]

Gourmet 4! I didn't think the old 'who's your real daddy/grandpa' plot would interest me, but actually, it may progress the story beyond the kitchen. Sung Chan and the others prepare for the next competition; country chicken. The previous competition was won by Bong Joo. Then Bong Joo stumbles upon the 'family secret' and then proceeds to angst and get drunk. Of course Sung Chan finds out, too, and angsts. There's a touching flashback to the brothers bathing each other...uh huh...hahaha. And then Sung Chan runs away...like all adult drama characters do when confronted by the truth.



Osen 5-6! Episode 5 strayed from the restaurant to highlight a carpenter who does things the old fashioned way verses big business housing. This show has lovely & rich colors in its cinematography. Osen's kimonos are so pretty. I wish the writing was a tad better. It seems to want to be funny, but falls a short of actual laughs. Episode 6 was unexpectedly charming as Osen goes on an omiai.
