I absolutely adored "Shall we Have Dinner Tonight?" It's such a charming manhwa that captures the essence of two uniquely different adults sharing their life stories. There's no judgment, no unsolicited advice – just two people being comfortable and genuine with each other. It felt like catching up with old friends, where you can be your true self and make choices that are right for you.

This manhwa is like a cozy chat over coffee. It’s not about big dramatic moments; it’s about the subtle, real-life experiences that make you feel connected.

While some might find the plot a bit slow or lacking in excitement, I ... found beauty in its subtlety. There are moments in the story that make your heart race, capturing those intense feelings that come with human connection and the complexities of relationships.

And oh, the ending! It was sweet and a bit childlike, but in the best way possible. It left me with a smile, reminding me of the simple joys and human connections that make life special. "Shall we Have Dinner Tonight?" is a heartfelt, relatable story that feels like a warm hug. In a world where stories often strive for dramatic twists and turns, "Shall we Have Dinner Tonight?" stands out as a heartwarming, down-to-earth tale that truly speaks to the soul.

I love food illustrations. If this had basically no story and was just about two people trying a different meal once a week and making small talk or talking about the food, I would've been happy. Adding romance and characters with actual stories? Sounds great.

Art
The character art and backgrounds are good, fairly standard. The food illustration is pretty great. Always made me hungry.

Characters
The characters are down to earth and pretty realistic. The leads are in their late 20s so naturally they're fairly mature. That being said, I started and ended the story disliking the FL. It's pretty disappointing. She's fine in the middle though. ... The ML on the other hand was great all the way through besides just one line he says near the end in response to her.

Story & Enjoyment
The story is simple and straight-forward but I loved reading this series. It never felt like a chore. I was interested in the food but also in the characters and their relationships. It was lovely to watch the two leads meet, get to know each other, and see how their relationship evolved over time while bonding over food. It's definitely a slow burn. If you want something really fluffy, this isn't it.

This would've been a favourite of mine if the ending didn't happen. If you stop before the second-last ep or skip that ep and fill in the gaps, you'll feel more satisfied imo and I'd recommend the series wholeheartedly up until that point. I was pretty disappointed but it seems many people can ignore it or don't think it's that big of a deal so maybe you will too. If there had been more episodes, maybe it could've been redeemed.

Overall, a great time up until the end.

I really liked how this manhwa was pretty laid back in relation to two people who have gone through a few breakups in their lives until they finally found themselves as "the ones". Mostly you see over the top love triangles, crazy jealous ex bf/gf's dying for w/o the MC to fall into their trap, families in top of each individual to get married in romance manhwas. However this really was a nice icing on the cake to flatten those down as if to say "let's be realistic and calm ourselves here".

As in, both MC's had the balls to accept the fact they have to ... move on from their past relationships and get on with their lives just as much as anyone else for real!

I do wish I have giving this 9 rating but I was kinda disappointed with the ending that it wasn't "sweet enough" as the reviewers have said on Goodreads. Yeah I'll let you be the judge on what I meant there.......

Anyways bois, just read this manhwa if you're into sweet straightforward realistic shit. It's such a pretty decent read if you know what I mean!
