The only thing I have to say is, the fucking outfit. I get it they are aliens, but please... No stop this is ugly.
The acting is really okay for a low budget serie.
It's cringey, short, light and silly. If you want some masterpiece or deep story, you may not find it in here.

It’s just cute you know? ?
If you’re expecting top tier acting and a masterful plot then wait for Happy Ending. That is going to give the plot, depth and emotional madness we are all craving. This is just a fun, quirky, nonsensical show. The plot isn’t complicated, it’s aliens on earth , baking and falling in love. If you watched the pilot and expected more, then I don’t understand. 🤔 It doesn’t take itself seriously which I actually love.Cringe moments: yes.
Over the top comedy beats : yes
nonsense sci fi plot: yes
small emotional moments: yes
Jeff & Barcode being cute af: yes 🙌
Essentially Jeff is an alien Prince who comes to Earth and meets Wooju who is Barcode. Antics ensue in the bakery while a haphazard alien takeover plot happens in the background. Despite that, the chemistry is fantastic 🤗 and the emotional beats, even though they are small specks here and there, are appreciated. In 8 episodes I can see how they fell for each other and I love it!
Also shout out to the side couple. Not much time or dialogue but I would watch a show with them ngl 🤷🏾♀️
This show gives ✨Disney Channel Original✨ movie vibes like early 2000’s. It’s giving Zenon lol I’m old don’t judge 😩.
Jeff & Barcode are silly and adorable yet still manage to have great chemistry. The acting isn’t terrible for what it is. You can tell they had fun filming. If you just want to watch something cute and short, I recommend it just for that. If you like silly shows with over the top comedy bits and just a fun vibe you’ll like this. Even Jeff himself said that was the expectation.
Let’s not forget how long ago the show was made. So many are saying they are really let down but this was their first show after KP as a pair. Not only that, it wasn’t even going to be released until another studio bought it. I don’t think you should judge their capabilities on this show and just sit back and enjoy the ride. ✨

Not The Best But Still Good
The quality of the production was good despite not having a huge budget and the special effects were decent for the budget they had. The acting was pretty good for the most part and I don't think the script was too bad but there are definitely some inconsistencies in the storytelling. I can't tell if it's just the editing or if it came from the directing side as well but there are contradictions in some scenes and the flow of other scenes felt off like they were out of order or missing some context that might have come from a deleted scene. Overall I liked the story being told, it was the way it was told that could use some improvement. I didn't have any issue with the fact that the show takes place in three different languages (Korean, Thai and English) especially given the fact that half the main characters are aliens but some may find this irksome. They managed to keep it interesting with a couple little plot twists but nothing too outrageous or unbelieveable and they tied off the loose ends of almost all the characters in a way that was satisfying and actually kind of sweet. To conclude; I think this is a cute little multi-national BL that shouldn't be taken too seriously, just sit back and enjoy the wacky antics and romantic moments and appreciate the happy ending RaonWooju get that we didn't get from KimChay (KinnPorsche).Was this review helpful to you?
With the right vision, a well-written screenplay and creative use of props and sets, this could have been a top-tier It's-so-bad-it's-good C-grade low-budget SF spoof.
I really liked the aliens' shiny cheap polyester clothing and their obvious hand-wavey misunderstanding of Earth's culture. I liked the poser-like "grandeur" of Prince Raon and Hachi's ever-changing dog-ears. I liked the reason for using three different languages in the series.
Unfortunately, the series doesn't hold what the first episode promised. Obviously, the circumstances of its history are partly to be blamed: Filmed by a Korean company (one which is now known for productions of questionable quality) and never finished, the material was then boought by another Korean company, who tried to finish the series. I don't know how much editing and general post-production had been done at that point, but to me, it seems that it must have been either extremely poor or not at all -- the end product shows much unevenness, jumps in continuity, and in one case, material from either the casting videos or a workshop was obviously used.
The cast's performance varied between "poor" and "quite a bit better than adequate".
Another point that did not help with the overall quality was that the script tries both to be a Whacky Comedy With Much Silliness and a sweet Romance With Tragic Background. Combining these two very different genres into one whole is not an easy task, and then the script introduces a third plot-line of Conspiracies And Backstabbing. None of it is developed properly, plot lines appear and disappear at random, and some characters lose any characterisation they had. No effort in editing could have saved this. The interesting points I mention above are toned down or not used at all (For example, I would have gone overboard with the language thing and let every alien character speak different languages).
I suspect that the script was already poorly written, but that the production was started by one group of people (who had a specific idea what they wanted to make) and finished by another group (who probably put their own spin on it), was certainly the nail in the coffin.
The potential for a silly C-grade comedy series was there. But it never came to fruition.
Was it good?
Not really. There were some great ideas, but none of them were developed well.
Did I like it?
I kind of want to see a Japanese remake, I think that could be brilliant.
Would I recommend it?
No.

Loved it!
Ok so this isn't going to win any awards but if you love Jeff &/or Barcode and are looking for a chill slightly funny at times show full of utter nonsense this is your show. I was coming off of a couple pretty heavy shows so this was nice to just relax and enjoy. The PJ'S the put Jeff in should be the only thing he's allowed to wear! He's just a cute little adorable alien in this and Barcode always getting aggravated with him always made me smile. Like I said it's not winning any awards but I'm not wishing I could get the time I spent watching it back like other show (2gether, meow ears up & love is like a cat I'm looking at you). I went into it know it was supposed to be silly and ridiculous not thinking it was going to be some great epic. I mean it's about a alien and a bakery. 😂Was this review helpful to you?
?
I love this series, they could have made Air and Hachi end up tght, but overall this show is really dear to me, I waited for 4 years and I didn't expect it to be THAT good, I loved the chemistry, slow burn and how they really took it slow not rushing it even if there were only 8 eps. My Jeffbarcode did really good, I watched it in 3 hours and those 3 hours were the best of my life, it feels like letting them go for the second time not knowing when we are going to get a series with them again, I loved the storyline and how it was soo pure and cuteWas this review helpful to you?
What a mess…
Wow… That was a complete mess. The plot was all over the place. Totally illogical. Choppy editing. Loads of little inconsistencies and continuity errors. Oftentimes zero transitions between scenes or emotions. Terribly written with awkward dialogue. The characters each spoke Thai, Korean, or English as, like, a character trait for no discernible reason. The whole thing felt beneath the dignity of the actors, especially Jeff. Jeff did his absolute best with what he was given. You could tell he was really trying to put genuine emotion and nuance into his acting, but there was only so much he could do with what he had to work with. I pretty much only stuck it out for him, and I guess it was diverting enough. Nothing overtly offensive, but also just so ridiculous and low quality entertainment. But maybe it was also kind of what I needed this week. Just to totally turn off my brain.Was this review helpful to you?
What Did I Just Watch??
We've waited so long for this series, it's hard to believe it sucks as much as it does. But, I guess, it does make sense that the people involved in this abomination would prefer that it never saw the light of day. Alas...The story is not only confusing, it is entirely non-sensical. It has no logic or cohesion, it's just a random string of events that, honestly, feels A.I generated.
The acting is not bad but the script is so cringe the actors cannot save this. Not even JeffBarcode, who, by the way, even though they've managed to have one of the most heartbreaking love stories ever before without ever kissing, couldn't get a single ounce of chemistry on screen for this mess. Obviously not their fault.
My favourite character ends up being The Princess but only bc everything else sucks so much she turns out as the most enjoyable.
Idk who I have to sue to get the time I spent watching this back, but I will certainly be looking into it bc I do require compensation.

Well that was a waste of time
It's so disappointing when something you've waited for for a long time turns out to be abysmal. It's one thing if this was intended to be a comedy and was carried out more intelligently. The production value ... well, there was no production value. There are better YouTube videos shot by high school students with their iphones.I rated it as highly as I did because the actors occasionally tried. Also the musical score was cute.
And now i'm going to ramble to make the review as long as is required.
Honestly, a dog onesie as a costume for character who's supposed to shape shift.
Why is the prince wearing swim googles?

I waited over 4 years, for this?
Over four years of waiting, not to mention all the legal issues and behind-the-scenes drama, and this is what we get?This was one of the most confusing series I’ve watched in a long time. Every episode deviated so heavily from the last that you were constantly playing catch-up, only for any new information or major development to happen in the final three minutes of a 20-minute episode.
I can’t even fully fault the bad acting because it genuinely felt like the script and direction gave the cast nothing solid to work with. The characters were written in such an inconsistent and frustrating way that almost everyone came across as unintelligent — especially Wooju and Hyeok. Not to forget how it was hard to understand any of what was happening.
The one redeeming thing about this series was that we FINALLY got a JeffBarcode kiss.
Honestly, Wooju Bakery had potential. The premise could’ve worked really well if the series had been given more time to breathe. Eight episodes at around 20 minutes each just weren’t enough. This should’ve been a standard-length BL with hour-long episodes so the relationships, plot points, and emotional moments could actually develop naturally instead of feeling rushed and half-explained.
The tone was also all over the place. The show constantly flipped between sweet, goofy comedy and intense melodrama so abruptly that it gave me whiplash.
And on top of all that, GagaOOLala’s subtitles were genuinely distracting and frustrating at times. Overall, this was a really disappointing watch considering how long fans waited for it.
