    The first thing I asked myself was, "Do I really want to watch a drama about baking???" Honestly speaking the whole baking theme didn't really interest me, but I'm so glad I did. There is so much more than Baking to this drama, trust me.

    From the beginning this drama draws you in. This drama made me cry my heart out (no joke I cried for hours...yeah i dramathoned this drama). The story is just amazing. Despite Kim Tak Goo facing many difficulties he always has a smile on his face, moving everyone around him. His character just captures your heart. Kim Tak Goo Fighting!!!

    So if you are in the mood of watching a drama that will make you cry, smile, laugh, then I recommend

    A very HeartFULL drama. You've read it right, it can give you all your heart has to offer: heart-touching, heartwarming, heart-wrenching yet very inspiring drama.

    Story: Prepare for an emotional ride. From the first episode, I just can't let go. A real makjang drama at its finest, it made me shed tears by episode 3. The story will tell you about a guy with painful past, lost family, with nowhere to run, with absolutely nothing at his hand strives to find himself, his dreams and his newly-found family through the world of baking. The childhood part for me was greatly done, it's the family history that made me invest deep emotions; for the 2nd half of the drama were flashbacks has to be made, sad emotions

  • They both start off when the charecters were young and every single episode draws you to the next.

  • Both are 30 episode makjang melodramas done extremely well. They both have birth secrets, revenge, a lot of heart warming moments, great acting and writing. They are both a lot of fun to watch.

    I really saw Yoon Shi Yoon's acting come out in the drama, it's long but it's definitely worth watching.

    I was COMPLETELY drawn in the minute I started this drama. It became ridiculously difficult for me to click on the x button on the corner of my screen that I would always end up staying up long enough to see the sun rise and hear the birds chirp in the morning. It was an emotionally exhausting bumpy ride but I enjoyed it from the beginning all the way to the very end. A part of me is happy and relieved that I've finally reached the end, while the other part is extremely upset that it's over and is begging for more episodes. Undoubtedly a 10/10 from me. It's longer than the average 16 episode drama, but I promise you it's worth watching.

    This one is a rare, makes you empathize with the character, and then slowly makes you hate him for his actions. Very risky business by scriptwriters.

    I finished KoB early this morning. I LOVED it, favorite drama so far. It took me a while to finish it because I didn't want it to end. But it was so good, I'm going to miss it and Tak Gu. I'll even miss Ma Joon whom I hated and loved xD

    Hahaha xD It's so funny how I just realised the actors in this one are ones I love now, but hated (It took me 3 months to finish KoBKTG) back then... And I am actually grateful for my bad memory on this one, or I wouldnt have enjoyed Bridal Mask or Me too, Flower as much...
