Recipes: Creamy visuals, fruity blend of stories, old fashioned nutty plot, and a messy ending.

A pilot episode should leave a good impact to the viewers so that they can continue to watch the rest of the episodes and Baker Boys did that. I never expected this show to turn out to be great. The filming of the process of making desserts was a fine one too, it makes me feel hungry and crave for sweets.

Lee Thanat being the eye candy with real talent is a wise casting decision. His character Punn is so cute that perfectly fits his personality as a person. The way his mom called him “baby boy” and his fluffy smiling reaction was wholesome. One thing I love about Punn is that he deeply cares for the people around him. He's a good man but really became weird when it comes to women. Throughout the show, he was just as hot, cute, sexy, and handsome as ever. It’s a good thing that he knows how to act properly and that no one can pinpoint his popularity just because of the help of his looks.

Singto on the other hand, has explicit versatility as an actor. I love his flirty and mischievous character. An episode of Baker Boys is incomplete without him doing all his might to romantically tease his boss. He nailed Weir’s character; the mannerism, voice, intonation, and the overall acting was delivered in a natural way. Singto can be paired with anyone, because he simply knows how to portray the role and give the chemistry needed from it.

I am so happy to see Pluem once again starring in a show. His extraordinary acting from “Happy Birthday” the series, still lives within me. He really grows a lot but still has the charm of being adorable no matter what he does. He’s such a promising young man. His role Krating, being a domineer boxer inside the ring but fragile to sweets is such a cutie. Him being brave enough to tell frankly how annoyed he is to his boss and by calling him “Weird Uncle” was the most amusing thing from the show. Krating’s backstory was something that was worthy of my tears. I cried the moment that he’s feeling too scared to say goodbye to his newly found family. That was a heartwarming episode to emphasize the importance of having a comfortable circle who are deserving to be called as one's "HOME.” Krating has his reason and sad reality on why he doesn’t like the idea of sending him abroad. The Sweet Day and the people he met there became his source of strength after leaving the Boxing Academy. Thank goodness that Krating and the people around him finally understand each other.

Pooh being not so good on anything because of what happened from the past is so sad. There was a specific scene where he was hit by Krating multiple times because he misunderstood the situation, and it will never be fun for me. Pooh’s character introduction was poorly executed. However, he has a kind and innocent nature that gives light to the show.

Hilarious. There’s no dull moments everytime Krating teases his boss by calling him uncle and doing stuff to irritate him. But Punn's reaction makes it funnier, along with Weir’s never-ending frisky attitude. It’s a total game over when Weir decides to wink for someone. Punn living his life with the line of “One person disrespect me, the other one flirts with me.” I've been constantly laughing from time to time thanks to them. The lovey-dovey moments of Lee and Pluem from the show made me ship them for a moment. It was perfectly cute and entertaining to see both of them mocking each other.

The scenes just keep getting humorous every episode. The chemistry between Lee and Singto is so captivating, unfortunately, I define the show as a semi-BL one. Still wishes that GMMTV will give Lee a real BL show cause it fits him a lot. The moment they lived together, Baker Boys became a family. Punn being the father, Weir as the mother, Pooh as their older son, and lastly Krating being the youngest son in the family. Their bond is as sweet as their desserts in the cafe.

But…

I hate to admit that I began to feel bored after the sixth episode. The heartwarming father-and-daughter talk was comforting to hear but it just doesn't make me feel the same kind of enthusiasm vibes that I felt during the earlier episode. Anyways, the additional character entry was an exciting one. Seeing Weir’s ex-lover seems to help lighten up the mood yet he has a trash character that is obsessed with Weir even though he already has his own family.

The weakness of the series is that the plot twists are so easy to predict. It was so obvious that the new teacher is the sweet murderer, there is no one in the cast that was as suspicious as he is. I didn’t even call it a plot twist anymore. I think they wasted a good opportunity to give the viewers an unexpected turn out.

The biggest flaw Weir presented in the show is his phobia about women that involved his past with his own mother. Trauma’s formed because of the painful situation that they experienced from the past. It is hard for an individual to overcome it in a merely short duration of time. I am okay that Weir and Punn both overcome their trauma at the end but I guess it is more realistic to let the other one end without forgiving the person who causes their phobia, specially to Punn and Tert condition. He was abducted as a child and the reason why he is so afraid of eating desserts. Yes, the kidnapper is feeling sorry about the past but the ending in which Punn is the one who initiates to visit Tert house doesn’t suit my expectation or maybe I’m the only one who feels this way.

The ending doesn't leave a mind-blowing scene and it was just simply saying goodbyes to the whole cast. I am a little bit disappointed with the last few episodes but it was good enough to be labeled as one of GMMTV’s fine shows. The transition on having a comedic sequence to the story of the murderer seems off at the beginning but I manage to get used to it. The most important thing is that I enjoyed watching the show and I love hearing myself laugh because of them.
