Ask MDL And Now For Something Different: Food There is a small eatery, ‘Meshiya,’ in a back alley of a busy street which is run just by its owner. Called the “midnight eatery”, its opening hours are from midnight to 7 am in the morning. The only items on the menu are miso soup with pork and vegetable set, beer, sake and shochu. All sorts of customers visit the eatery, which is based on the owner’s policy of “making whatever can be done”. The encounters between the owner, food and customers are humorous and, at times, heartrending. Edit Translation

Reviews
Everyone's personal stories were so genuine and full of honest, relatable, real humanity, respect, and unique stories I've never seen on screen(s) or read about before. I laughed or cried of worried or got angry with each character of each episode. This show is full of chaos and calm, love and heartbreak, happiness and depression, anger and kindness, respect and fear, understanding and knowledge, but most of all this show has so much honest to goodness love, kindness, respect, light, and relatable humanity! If you have the time to watch this series from beginning to end, I sincerely suggest and hope that you do!!

This drama is like Nichijou (an anime), where the show focuses more on characterization rather than plot. The issues the character have is realistic and almost always makes me sympathize with them as a character. I loved the Master's character as this calm and sympathetic person.
This drama is like an unscripted variety show, where you truly feel like you're one of the bar patrons listening to others' frustrations and gossiping with them as well. The actors did an excellent job of preserving that vibe throughout the whole season.
The characters also have natural looks, meaning not everyone is eye candy like what kdramas usually cast. The fact that the characters look average makes this drama even more real to me.
If you haven't watched this drama, please watch it! This is truly an underrated gem that deserves more international attention.
