Verdict
As sweet as macaroon, Panda and Hedgehog created a light atmosphere for the viewers. It offered also a variety of emotions like bitterness, love, and happiness in some of the episodes. The story is simple but you would not dare to miss an episode! Showing how cakes are made also added a different feel to the story, it made me want to eat one especially those that they used in the story. Panda and Hedgehog is a drama that you should not miss especially if you are a die hard fan of Super Junior’s Dong Hae! (Fishy!)
