A gentle and subtle tale of life with some lovely characters and vignettes.

Lovely casting and the set is cool.

I especially like the facial expressions of the coffee shop owner and also the gentle eyes and face of his girlfriend.

The apprentice is well played and the two actors have understated chemistry.

Research on coffee is impressive and links the story well.

I have new interest the next time I visit a coffee shop Acting and filming is superb too It just reinforces my view Korea has the best tv in the world and am thankful Netflix has been able to bring us such high quality and different programming to the rest of the world.

This is a masterpiece of life. It is a study in quality. It is a quiet and beautiful story of choices in a life. There is no trauma, no blood. It is quiet , sweet, yes full in its truth. It reminds me some of the master chef in midnight diner. (another gem) but this is day. The discoveries of the apprentice also change the master . It has a zen quality, it is a story of the heart between friends. It is beautifully made. I was never bored. Each episode is a short 35min or so . Easily digestible.

I found it magical how everyone responds and enriches eachothers life . I hope to watch it all again soon.

A decent concept but the drama didn't hit well with me. I didn't like either of the main leads nor was I interested in their boring sappy personal story. The support characters and their stories were slightly better. You better off just drink a cup of coffee anyway. A decent concept but the drama didn't hit well with me.

This is not for everyone. This is for those who are into the slow poetry of a long shot, into the meditative quality of silence, into thinking about what the characters are feeling. It's a gem. When so much media is about speed, intensity, and in your face "this is what you should understand from it," this show give you space to immerse yourself in what a scene means, what the characters are. I find it comparable to "Midnight Diner" for the kind of atmosphere it sets and for the depth of feeling it elicits. Twelve episodes were enough to leave a mark, but I hope there will be more and that if they come they will stay true to the quality of this season.

This is a slice of life, slow burn series - so it isn't for everyone. It's very coffee industry oriented, but also weaves lessons of life into the narrative, through the main characters and the several guest roles.

These half-hour episodes, 12 of them, means the series is really only 6 hours long. I will say that I needed to not be too tired when watching it, because there weren't any overarching themes to follow. In other words, there was no serial killer to catch, or political enemy to overcome, or a romance you're waiting to see how it ends. It was a window into the lives of some good people whose connections were forged and built on the shared love of coffee, the perfecting of techniques to create the various flavors and consistencies, and the universality that the words "Would you like a cup of coffee?" can open minds and hearts once a person feels seen, heard, understood.

I feel like I've been given such a gift in watching this series. I had just come away from 2 other series that I had to drop because they were too over the top for me. This was exactly the right speed and degree of elegant excellence that I needed.
