    Lunch no Joou ランチの女王 (Lunch Queen)

    Lunch no Joou ランチの女王 (Lunch Queen)

    Theme song: Joy to the World (Three Dog Night)
    Starring:
    Takeuchi Yuko - Mugita Natsumi
    Eguchi Yosuke - Nabeshima Yujiro (the second son)
    Tsumabuki Satoshi - Nabeshima Junzaburo (the third son)
    Yamada Takayuki - Ushijima Minoru (the stay-in cook)
    Yamashita Tomohisa - Nabeshima Koshiro (the fourth son)
    Itou Misaki - Shiomi Tomato
    Tsutumi Shinichi - Nabeshima Ken'ichiro (the eldest son)
    Wakabayashi Go - Nabeshima Kenzo (the dad)
    Morita Go - Yazaki Shuuji (Natsumi's ex)
    Synopsis:
    Mugita Natsumi is a coffee shop waitress whose simple pleasures include scoping the neighborhood for the best lunch places and eating the best fare they have to offer.

    By a weird twist of fate, Natsumi, while on her lunch break, finds herself being dragged by a man who asks her for a favor. This man, Nabeshima Ken'ichiro, says he needs her to pretend that she is her fiancee that he wants to introduce to his family, especially his dying father. Incidentally, the family runs a small restaurant called Kitchen Macaroni.

    Agreeing to help Ken'ichiro, Natsumi goes to eat at Kitchen Macaroni to spy on the family. She finds out that the father is alive and well, and that the family hates Ken'ichiro.

    When Ken'ichiro runs away again with the restaurant's earnings for the day, Natsumi decides to keep up the act and move in with the family and work for them as a waitress.

    How long can Natsumi pretend to be Ken'ichiro's fiancee? What will happen to her in a household where she isn't very welcome? What if the family finds out the truth?

    Credits to DramaWiki for the cast listing. ^_^

    Who do you want Natsumi to end up with?

    maari bang mag reply dito? :)

    i like this drama, a lot. love love love Eguchi Yosuke, ang papa!

    Anyway, feel good drama, feel hungry drama (makes me wanna eat omurice with demiglace sauce..). Star studded too. Sort of Waterboys reunion + Akira (Yamashita-something) + Hermes-san ++

    It's a really good drama.

    Sus, ikaw naman...tinatanong pa ba yun? Siyempre, pwedeng pwede magreply kahit saan dito sa Japinoy no. Smile

    Yup, I also thought na mas bagay si Natsumi at si Eguchi Yosuke...although I'm a big fan of Tsumabuki Satoshi! Nakakatuwa kasi andaming familiar faces dito, halo-halo na sila. Hermes and Densha Otoko (the movie version) and Waterboys and Yamapi at kung sino sino pa ^_^

    Re: Lunch no Joou ランチの女王 (Lunch Queen)

    so easy to make an omurice. but demiglace sauce...argghhh! too many ingredients and long time to acquire the desired taste. however, bec of this series i became conscious of the importance of lunch. true, nakaka-gutom itong series na 'to.

    also this drama makes me realize how the japanese people put high value on their food/meals. as if, mealtime is the best time of the day for them. 

    light good drama-comedy and kakui lahat ang cast.

    I tried looking for a good omurice here in Metro Manila but can't find one. It seems my mother has cooked the best so far.

    I would really like to taste demiglace sauce but I found out that it takes like 10 hours to make. Indifferent Mauubos gasul naman dyan eh. Hehe. Yun din pala yung rason kung bakit yung tatay sa Lunch Queen nakatayo ng magdamag dun sa tabi ng kalan. Hahaluin kasi yun ng sampung oras din eh. Nya!

    Just a bit of trivia on the Lunch no Joou bida, Takeuchi Yuko. She used to be married to Kabuki actor Nakamura Shido, who portrayed Lieutenant Itou in Letters from Iwojima and provided the voice of Ryuk in the Death Note movies and anime series. ^_^

    Their divorce in 2006 was one of the most talked about stories for the year.

    Re: Lunch no Joou ランチの女王 (Lunch Queen)

    Another bit of Lunch Queen trivia -

    The family name なべしま Nabeshima is in reference to  なべ 'nabe' as in 'pot' or 'saucepan'. ^_^ Since the family business is a restaurant, the name really suits them well. ^_^

    Also, the 4 children of Nabeshima had interesting names as well:

    • Kenichiro 健一郎
    • Yujiro  祐二郎
    • Junzaburo 順三郎
    • Koshiro 小四郎
    The first son has the Kanji for 'one' in his name, and going down the list, you will see that the other sons also had numbers on their names, to indicate their birth order Big Smile

    After watching Lunch no Joou, I felt an urge to buy an omurice meal whenever I see one.  So far, I have only eaten at Jipan's.  But they don't have the demiglace sauce...ketchup lang. =(. hehehe.

     Naawa akko kay Yu-ni lalo na nung paalis na yung babaeng mahal niya.  Sometimes it makes us wonder if just loving someone has any reward at all...well, at least kahit papaano, na-appreciate naman yung mga ginawa nya...
