Antique Bakery

I started to watch this drama because I was on a bakery kick, and I liked the title… “Antique Bakery”. My overall impression was that not a lot happens in this drama. Regardless this drama is heartwarming, and I couldn’t help but cheer the characters on. I have to admit, the real reason I like this show is…. the cake! Every episode they display the most delicious treats with fresh berries, fluffy mouses and glistening sugary sauces. It makes me wish to bake something like that, which is odd for me because I passionately hate cooking… but I think if I could make something look as delicious as it tastes I would be happy to do it. This is a very lighthearted drama that leaves me with happy thoughts.

This drama has an interesting method of narrating, by typing words across the screen. It is silly, but it grew on me. I enjoyed learning about the characters. I did not like how they drag out the mystery of the personal histories of the characters. While it doesn’t make for very good suspense, it does reflect how difficult it is to be honest about things that are painful to remember.

The bakery is a beautiful building with rich art nouveau ornamentation. There are lots of awkward moments in this show, where the master chef stares down other people. He likes to convey his opinions without words, which is quite funny to watch. When I started watching the first episode I thought ‘what the heck am I watching?’ I am glad I continued to watch it.

You should watch this when: you are feeling down, and need a bit of happy in your life.

Do not watch when: you are hungry, because you will want to devour an entire cake… or if your like me, a pan of brownies.

I give it 3 stars.
