My Day (2020) Episode 7

What happened!?! Episode 7 was such a disappointing episode! Yes, the plot/storyline progressed on this episode. The international cake competition finally came into fruition, and they lost, which in turn allowed the return of the daddy issue/Freudian excuse trope. But because this episode was filled with gaps, not to mention, packed with rushed and unrealistic scenes, it was so frustrating to watch. Case in point, the affection between Sky and Ace was so contrived and fast tracked, it needed proper build-up. Also, the change of heart of Sky's bully classmates (because of a dream, seriously?!?) was so sudden and unbelievable, it didn't make much sense. In terms of screenplay, it was extra cringy on this episode. Acting was also bad on this episode. Miko and especially Aki were very weak in their delivery of lines and their timing was generally off. Yul Servo was horrendous! Even the production design and computer graphics couldn't save this episode. For a supposedly prestigious international cake competition, everything about it appeared cheap. The inclusion of actual reactors who portrayed the competitors from different countries was a nice touch though. Overall, My Day needs to improve on a lot of areas for next week's episode.
