Sin
The story and the characters are quite similar to Let's Eat season 1. The story is simply about the everyday life of Dae Young, his crush and his neighbours. Each character has a distinctive persona and they all have a certain relationship with eachother, which makes it fun to watch. I really love the concept and like how real (most of) the story line is. However I felt a lot of things were lacking, but they are all very personal and many will disagree.
First of all, I mainly watch this because of all the delicious foods. This season there seemed to be less eating and they didn't seem to enjoy the food as much as season. Secondly I really disliked the role of the female lead, I have nothing against the actress herself though. It's just that her character is demonstrating such an unhealthy lifestyle with all the extreme diets (and obsessive behaviour, but that I can ignore). I hoped that she'd learn to deal with it in the middle of the story or that the other characters would help her more with this, but they all seem to accept it. I feel like this especially is a big problem in Korea and could influence people the wrong way. And lastly the biggest flaw to me was how they didn't continue the story of the supporting roles much. I loved where the story was going, introducing different problems for each character. But in the end the story only focussed on the romance between the main characters, leaving some other characters hanging. For example Teak Soo. The guy is basically miserable throughout the whole drama and they only focus on his bad behaviours, whilst nobody is really helping him. This could have been more, hence the low rating for story.
Nonetheless, I do not regret watching this at all. And if there's going to be another season, I'll definitely watch it too.

The story and characters were just great! The story is a simple love story and even whilst dealing with many hardships it never becomes heavy, because of the many jokes, catchy songs and most of all the fun characters. It's amazing how well the characters are written. Each of them have a distinct personality and are portrayed perfectly by the actors. It seriously never happened to me before that I fell in love with all of the characters in a drama.
So why the mediocre rating? The last couple of episodes disappointed me a bit, mainly the male lead. His acting was still good, but to me the writers changed his personality too much. it's hard to say exactly how, but he became less loveable to me. The thing that bugged me the most was how he became overly jealous, which is something especially he cannot afford.
Since the drama is only 12 episodes (cut short, unfortunately), I'd still recommend this to anyone. You can watch it in between home work, after a heavy tear jerker, or whenever you want really! It'll definately bring an instant smile to your face.
