### Content
OH!
HELLO! THIS IS SUMA.
BEFORE WE BEGIN...
I ALWAYS READ THE KIND MESSAGES AND REVIEWS YOU LEAVE...
THROUGH THE "SUPPORT THE AUTHOR" FEATURE ON THE BOMTOON WEBSITE.
A LOVELY MEAL TOOK A LONG TIME TO PREPARE.
THE REASON IS...
Storyboard
Story
Background
Line Art
Coloring
Typesetting
...BECAUSE I HANDLED EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS ALONE.
...I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO'S LOVED AND SUPPORTED A LOVELY MEAL!
FROM THE STORY AND STORYBOARD TO COLORING, ALL WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANTS.

SINCE EACH EPISODE TAKES A LONG TIME TO COMPLETE...
...I SPENT EXTRA TIME BUILDING UP AS MANY BACK-UP EPISODES AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LAUNCH.
BUT THANKS TO THAT, I WAS ABLE TO PUBLISH SEASON ONE WITHOUT ANY BREAKS AND AT THE LEVEL OF QUALITY I WANTED.
HEHE
I'M REALLY PROUD OF THAT!
I WANT TO DELIVER THE NEXT PART OF THE STORY AT THE SAME QUALITY, WITHOUT ANY HIATUSES.
A HERMIT'S LIFE FOR ME...
SO, IT MIGHT TAKE QUITE A WHILE BEFORE SEASON TWO RETURNS (PROBABLY AROUND A YEAR...).
JUST THINK OF IT AS THE TIME IT'LL TAKE FOR JONGWU AND CHANGDEOK TO MEET AGAIN.

Readers
I HOPE YOU CAN WAIT PATIENTLY.
OH! I ALMOST FORGOT!
THERE'S SOMETHING MANY OF YOU ARE PROBABLY CURIOUS ABOUT.
THE AGE RATING OF SEASON TWO...
...WILL BE 15+, THE SAME AS SEASON ONE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT.
LASTLY, I'LL LEAVE THE INITIAL DESIGN SHEETS OF THE A LOVELY MEAL CHARACTERS HERE FOR YOU TO ENJOY.
GOODBYE FOR NOW!
