The LONG PILL:
A 60-year-old man found himself at a loss after retiring from his 35-year career as an office worker. He needed something to do since already had plenty of spare time. His adventures started when he decided to walk around his neighborhood and discovered an interesting local diner he never noticed in the past. What makes this drama more interesting is his flashbacks about his past, as well as the awakening of the samurai as his hidden persona each time he eats something delicious.
Hard Pill to Swallow
Some of the people he encountered during his food adventures tend to be boring. It could have been better if they added more dynamic characters in the story.
