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.
