"Fondant Garden" pretty much delivers what it set out to; a light story, cute characters and a more or less predictable plot. The first few episodes were easy enough to watch, but if you're like me then this drama is more boring than entertaining. Story: Again, the first few episodes were alright. It was easy to tell where things would go and what purpose characters would serve in the story. Some characters, like the grandma, were simply caricatures and had no personality beyond hating one character. After episode 8, the plot goes in circles and becomes repetitive. The show itself felt too long. Each episode could have easily been shortened to 45 minutes to save the viewers time. Acting: Kingone Wang was stellar in his role, Park Jung Min was very good at the cute and energetic scenes but left much to be desired as far as emotional depth went. I found the two female actresses to be annoying, and they weren't very good actresses. Music: The music was nice and sweet. Nothing I would put on my iPod, but decent. Rewatch Value: "Fondant Garden" isn't the type of drama you would rewatch. It brings nothing new to the world of dramas and most of its scenes can be found in other dramas. Overall: Its okay, but there's so much better out there. I would recommend skipping this one.
