Bittersweet is the taste of goya, bitter potato - the super duper healthy bitter vegetable that some people (not me) love it. It's a challenge to consume goya, and it's an art to cook goya. Well, they said it is. Is this story about goya?

Katayama who is also a good cook and of course a good looking guy ended up living together with Eda and you know the story goes as predicted where Eda finally loves eating vegetables. And, they love each other. Wait! It's not as simple as it is. Katayama doesn't like woman, yes he is gay. Sounds interesting! Do they finally fall for each other? Well, just to make sure that you should watch this movie yourself because I don't want to give the ultimate spoiler which is not the main story I think. But, for sure I'ii tell you that Eda now loves vegetables.
Here are again 5 reasons why you will enjoy this movie.
1. The story is somehow very cute. Eda is a country girl whose parents have run a vegetable farm land. She hates vegetables because it reminds her of the farmland that she thougt to be the main reason why she find difficulties to communicate with other people and friends. She falls in love at the first sight with Katayama and ends up lving together despite the facts that Katayama is a gay and a vegetarian. Everyday Katayama cooks and makes bento for Eda. Then, they help each other to ease their trauma and to move on with their lives. You want to know why Katayama is a gay? I'll not spoil you here.
2. Delicious foods and a good looking guy cooking.
Well, what can you ask for more?
He's just a additional player here but how can you say no to his pretty face? He's also the love interest for Katayama. They both work in a popular private boys only high school. Ehm, sounds yummy for you all the BL fans. haha..
4. The plot is easy and it's not a long movie so it won't take too much of your time. You can watch this movie after work, which is that I did just now, and it just made my day. Maybe it apply to you too.
5. And if you are a person who like something complex and totally not simple, you can also watch this movie because the background story, the relationship between the characters and how they deal with life are really interesting. I just got a glimpse of this thing because I am just a simple person but I feel the complexity behind its modesty. Believe me!
Done. I hope you enjoy this movie as I do.
7.5/10
