It is honestly exhausting to sit through another terrible series like this. I have noticed the same group of actors popping up in several of these subpar Filipino BL projects before, and they just don't seem to get any better. The production value is bottom-tier, the acting is painful to watch, and there is hardly enough plot here to even justify calling it a show. I get that a lot of these were made as passion projects during or right after the pandemic, but it is 2026 now, and there is just no excuse for this kind of poor execution. It really should have just been a quick short film instead of stretching it out. At least it only has six episodes that run about 15 minutes each, so you can fly through it pretty fast if you’re unlucky enough to start it. The plot is about as basic as it gets. We follow a guy named Sam who is stuck in a major emotional rut. He has been in a steady, loving relationship for years, but he can't stop obsessing over his ex, Travis. Apparently, Travis ...
This was a surprisingly good movie. It is s hard to categorize it as a comedy, thriller or feel good cinema. It had bits of everything and hold the audience attention throughout. Although the lead character is straight and the chef is gay, it is refreshing to see homosexuality being played with flirtatious sweetness all through out with a dash of magic.After Jin-Hyuk rejected Sun-Woo in high school, Sun-Woo has become the opposite of his stuttering past: a Prada-snug love magnet that no man, gay or straight, could resist. He also becomes the best baker in business. Years later, Jin-Hyuk puts up a patisserie called Antique and hires Sun-Woo to be his pastry chef. The rest of his staff, a retired boxing champ and Jin-Hyuk's childhood friend and bodyguard---are all bewildered why he opened Antique when cakes in particular make him vomit. The viewer doesn't know why Jin-Hyuk doesn't like any cake until later when the secret is revealed. As a kid, he was kidnapped for 2 months and when he came back home, he did not remember anything except that he could not eat cake anymore. The only reason he had this shop opened was in anticipation that the person who kidnapped him will return and he will be able to face his fears. And the time comes and the culprit is identified but police can't catch up. You have to watch it to see what happens.
The boxing champ who starts learning to make cakes under Sun-Woo is a ardent cake fan like no one else and really wants to learn the trick. The dumb bodyguard tries to help in the shop but he is really dumb to do anything. Sun-Woo tries to keep flirting with Jin-Hyuk because he is the only one whom he ever had a crush on but to no avail. The chemistry between all 4 lead characters is very real, funny and interesting. The problem is initially the characters speak so fast that it is very difficult to keep a track of what's going on and enjoy it vs look at the screen. And what do I say about the cakes. Oh My God!! they look so fabulously delicious that you just wanna go inside the screen and eat all of them. All male characters are also exceptionally good looking and well built. They have their charm in their own ardent way.
I loved it. It was little long but worth the fun. (7/10)
