Lee Kang grew up in a small seaside town, dreaming of becoming a cook. He is now a neurosurgeon. He looks cold-hearted, but, in fact, he hides his warm heart.
When Moon Cha-Young was a child, she met Lee Kang at a small restaurant in the seaside town. Lee Kang cooked and gave her a meal. This is the happiest memory for Moon Cha-Young and it eventually led her to become a chef.
Neurosurgeon Lee Kang and Chef Moon Cha-Young meet again at a hospice ward.
My thoughts:
Normally I don’t watch too much sad dramas. Especially dramas that knowingly end sadly. I refuse to watch dramas that involve the last stages of dying.
It really gets to me, especially when right now, a loved one of mine is suffering in his last stages. (im sorry popo <3)
But something told me I needed to watch Chocolate. Like no joke, Netflix decided to play Chocolate right after Lilo and Stitch ended. My remote also decided to be dead and the same time.
I was destined to watch Chocolate. Like, I think God knew I needed a sad drama in my life.
And as expected, I grew attached to this drama because of my experiences with sicknesses and death. Maybe thats why I really loved this drama. The hospice patients stories really did something to my heart. I really think this drama helped me in a way. Chocolate helped me cry, release my built up feelings and just look at things a different way. After watching this drama, I felt a weight lift off my chest. Like I could finally breath in a way I hadn’t been able to, for a couple weeks.
Crazy right?
I really needed Chocolate in my life right now, and i’m so happy my netflix new that.
