A Korean animation student house hunting in Japan connects with a part-time worker through their handmade onigiri, leading to romance.

The slow burn romance, language & cultural barriers , turn them to find comfort in each other. In the end he is in Japan & she is in Korea. He is eating gimbap & she is relishing onigiri.
The slice -of -life romance is similar to ‘Record of Youth’ where the pair part & we are left wanting. A season 2 may solve our dilemma.
Like other Japanese -Korean collaborations this gives us a peek into the cultures in both the countries.
