It's pretty good! Really!
Geez, ya know I was thinking "oh no not another baking series", now I'm like "ya know this should have been a longer series. " Seems too short and the writers got lost a few times. I can see the writers going like "oh shit we only have 2 episodes left." LOLSeriously folks, the cast was really great. Ohm is a so-so acter but I really hated Shin in this series so I have to say Ohm did a good job at portraying an unlikeable character. All Guide has to do is smile and he's adding to the series. So with all it's flaws this is really an 8.0 series but I rated it a 9.0 that's because the cast was so strong even with a poorly written script...AND the rating here on MDL is too low. Yeah it's not right but that's what I do. (lol)
I would have liked to have seen Atom with someone and yeah Guy and Oab would have been sweet.
BTW I thought Grandma was just great.
For sure someone with a keen insight could have made this into an 8 or even 10 episodes and improved the story line.
This was so close. It is still watchable and for me rewatchable.
Lastly, It's better than most of the other series that have been airing the last half of 2023.

Enjoyable series
For a mini series, this is actually good.I adore Grandma, she is someone that anyone would love to have as their grandma.
The plot may seem to be not heavy or complicated, but is what makes this series great.
I truly enjoyed this series.
Kudos to the cast and those behind the cameras. Job well done
Everyone in the cast played their roles well/
Guide will sure be the next BL superstar. More projects for Guide please
Atom is a revelation.
Poom's eyes can act even without dialogue
and Ohm is Ohm, a natural actor

Kneading the Drama
So, I've just watched the first episode of 'Bake Me' and here's the scoop: it's like stepping into a bakery where the aromas are familiar, yet you're curious to try the goods. Shin, our main guy, is the classic orphan character with a penchant for solitude - might be too busy talking to his dough. And Peach? He's like that sweet loaf that comes out perfect every time, thanks to his grandma's recipe.This first serving seems to follow the recipe book of BL dramas, but hey, it's only the first episode. We're just preheating the oven here.
And about Shin's "exclusive" 20 Torta Capreses a day? I'm not sure if that's a genius business strategy or just a plot to keep us guessing. It's like the show itself – straightforward, no complex flavors yet, just setting the base. Early days, folks! Let's see if the next episodes add a bit more spice or if we're sticking to the basics. Either way, it's a light start, easy to bite into without needing a deep dive into the culinary arts. Stay tuned for what's next on the menu!

The song
Watching it right now and so far it's ok. It's a feast for the eyes with so many handsome guys.It looks like this one will be all fluff, the story lacks depth but the acting is all right so far.
I'm not dropping it and thankfully it's a short one.
I fell in love with the song the grandmother sings, I would love to know the tittle and artist of the song .

Pretty good, trust me.
As I said this is a pretty good series, I know there's nothing ground breaking but the show is actually quite enjoyable, and chemistry of the new paring of Ohm with other actor (I forgot his name) is very good. At firstI had expected it to be the generic food related BL but attention to details are good and that makes it light to watch. The enemies part of enemies to love was quite short hence I'm writing my review after 2 episode coz I couldn't to recommend this to others. It is very sweet so far.

Fun light heart series
I enjoyed the series a lot. It's a nice change of pace from the normal schoolboy loves that we get a lot. I enjoy the beautiful cakes and pies. The chemistry was nice to see, and the cast was great. It was a great cast to bring together. I do wish it had been a bit longer to show the storyline and character development more. I hated the mother, she was so annoying. I loved the Grandma support she always gave. The store has a lot of potential and a nice flow with each character making mistakes, but owning up to them to fix them, wish they focused a bit more on the growth of the relationships at the end. Overall, I did enjoy the series and the wonderful sweet ride it took us on. I hope to see the cast together again. It was a joy to see. Love Ohm!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Worth watching
I don't understand why some people are extremely critical of a well produced and well acted series like Bake Me Please. The storyline is well crafted, the background music is adequate, the acting is superb, the scenery is beautiful (not talking about the bakery kitchen, of course), the complexity of the characters' stories (especially Chin) is appealing. Chin has to process his inner traumas and struggles in order to open his heart to love and be loved, all the while learning to be less self-centered and more concerned with others. This is not a series about good-looking boys (which is a given) but about the need to face our innermost problems and be courageous enough to start anew in life. I recommend watching Bake Me Please.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
