sphinx Jun 11 2014 8:36 pm @Mr. Kashiwagi, don't worry there's season 2 this coming July .. and I really can't wait!!! :)

Ms.Anyone Jan 13 2014 8:46 am I came over here because of Kashii Yuu!! I really want to see her int his drama!!

Mr. Kashiwagi Apr 04 2013 10:59 am I can't believe it's over. Or is it like American shows where they continue by seasons? I know the manga books are longer but, what's the point of the whole drama if they finished it like this? The last episode was a real cliff hanger there....

LizYamada Mar 24 2013 11:28 pm Wow.. I exciting see Yuta Tamamori acting again after Ikemen Desu Ne...He more handsome..and so Shidai Mirai, she more beautiful than before..I can't wait watch yuu Kashii Acting here..^_^

rossali Jan 30 2013 7:41 pm It is really a good drama showcasing French cuisine in the war-era of Japan's history. How the food is used as a strategic plan of Nobunaga in the battlefield; how the cook complies with Nobunaga's plan; how the people are convinced with the appeal of the food; how the chef is able to use substitute ingredients to come up with the similar result that he wants...

I really enjoy watching this drama...

nurbazla91 Jan 08 2013 2:25 pm Kashii Yu..can't wait to watch you in this drama.. You did great in Osozaki no Himawari. ^o^
