I usually say 12 ep dramas are a waste of time because the production knows the story can't be dragged enough for a 16ep deal, but this had a great pace, it was super fun, the comedic sense was not too out of the box/in your face type, it had a great balance. despite it being a lighthearted comedy I found myself crying (not just from laughter) several times with their heartwarming stories.
in some ways it was like a dream work environment, Bok Dong didn't care for background or educational degree or age, and he gave everyone a fair shot, he gave worth to the employees, they work hard and the customers let the saying "the customer is the king/they are always right" get to their heads and they disrespect the people who are just trying to make a living. but here it was different.
usually korean dramas don't do this, but I liked the theme eps for Halloween, Christmas and the others.
the ost was like an anime's theme songs and overall it was a fun ride~
