...what are you watching...

Hungry! 1! is a jdrama about food, in case the title didn't give it away. Mukai Osamu plays a foul-mouthed, failed rocker turned chef named Eisuke. The screenwriter of this drama also worked on Lunch Queen and there are some similarities in how delicious the food appears and how the actors express their delight at its yummy-ness; it's probably best not to watch this on an empty stomach. :) Other characters include Eisuke's former bandmates who now help him at the restaurant, his eccentric father, a rival businessman who bought out Eisuke's mother's restaurant locale, Eisuke's girlfriend, and the produce supplier's daughter. There was a decent injection of comedy in the drama, and I thought the flashback was pretty cute and funny. I am probably lured into watching this more for the food porn than the other aspects of the show, but I hope that the other aspects develop well, too.
