The Lonely Gourmet is also a Japanese TV series that I'm chasing now. I quite like the protagonist Kogoro Inoue in this drama. To be honest, the reason why I really like this drama is because of the food in the TV series. Every time I watch this drama, I'm starving to death. On New Year's Eve this year, Japanese people are watching this program about food. First of all, I think this drama adopts "loneliness". It's not embarrassing to see Kogoro sitting there alone at the head of the well, because most people are embarrassed to eat alone, but this uncle is not so embarrassed. Seeing him eat with relish has solved the embarrassment of eating alone in groups.

Another reason I think Japanese people are pursuing this TV series is the social problems. I remember I saw some in-depth comments on this drama in Weibo. There are more and more elderly people living alone in Japan. Every day, old people disappear from this world. They are lonely and can only eat and live alone. Kogoro Inoue is also a single person. He himself reflects that there are many lonely old people in this society, which has attracted many people's attention.
