I'm here for the relationship and Grandma....others meh
I liked this show more for the people and relationships among them, than the actual storyline. I feel like the story was dragged out, while simultaneously just cutting off a part of the story when it no longer affected the relationships. Who won the competition? After them cutting the competition to a few teams, effectively ending the race for half of our leads, suddenly the competition no longer existed.
Our main leads, Shin (Ohm Thitiwat) and Peach (Guide Kantapon), had slow burn couple chemistry but fantastic acting chemistry in my view. I liked Peach's warm but strong heart personality being able to thaw the Pastry Ice King's heart enough for everyone, including Shin's own friends and business partners, to get to actually connect and be genuine friends unlike the surface level from before Peach's arrival. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure how much I would like to see Ohm with someone that wasn't Fluke, but I really enjoyed him with Guide. The protector illusion was gone, and Guide seemed on the same level as Ohm. I liked their chemistry too in the spicier scenes.
The best friend turned basically enemy was drastic on all fronts. Shin defiantly needed the reality check, but more lead up was needed for some of this. At first, I thought it was a jealousy thing over Peach, even though to me there wasn't even enough buildup of that. Like he was instantly enamored with Peach, why? Peach is great and deserved to be loved, yes, but where did this I will abandon my friends and business OF YEARS for you attitude come from? I understood what he meant about the business not supporting him because Shin was the star, but even going to a competitor's company without us seeing even once him trying to broach the subject with the actual owners was wild.
The Owner/brother that was in love with Shin their whole friendship was the expected issue, so I was grateful this wasn't the main complication for them. It's a hard situation to work around, but once everyone started talking, it seemed like it worked itself out. I need people to stop kissing people without consent though. Once again communication and listening would have solved so many issues early on. The friends as a whole were funny, especially in the special episode. AND THE GRANDMA WAS A GEM! I would watch it again just for her lol.
Overall, not a bad show, but not the best. I'm liking more cooking/baking shows coming out and 6 episodes + 1 special episode on GagaOOLala wasn't hard for me to spare to try this show.
