I honestly didn't expect much at first, but I ended up really enjoying it - glad I gave it a shot because the episodes just keep getting better. I originally watched this for Guide, but I ended up staying for the whole squad.
Bake Me Please can be a bit cliché - the classic sunshine guy falls for the cold and grumpy one - but somehow, it still kept me entertained. As painful as some parts are, the series gives off this warm, comforting vibe.
It also touches on how complicated relationships can get, and the emotional struggles that come with being in one. Plus, it dives into the reality of unrequited love - loving someone who just doesn't love you back.

What I liked:
✅ There are only a few characters, so the story's easy to follow.
✅ The production value is pretty solid.
✅ The cinematography is beautiful, and the OST hits just right.
✅ Peach and Chin have decent chemistry - it's not fiery, but it works.
✅ Everyone did a great job, especially Ohm and Poom, but I have to give a special shoutout to Guide - I just love his accent.
✅ It would've been even better if Poom had more screen time or was one of the main leads.
✅ The love square actually added a little spice without making things toxic.
✅ Supportive grandma

What didn't work for me:
✅ Chin's character is honestly hard to root for - he's too unreasonable, self-centered, and barely grows throughout the series.
✅ The lack of clear communication (especially on Chin's end) gets frustrating.
✅ I lowkey wished Peach and Guy were the endgame, but of course that's not happening - Ohm (Chin) is clearly one of the main leads.

Overall, Bake Me Please is a cooking-themed BL with a simple, easy-to-digest plot and easy on the eyes cast. It's not a masterpiece, but it feels grounded and the casting was on point.
If you're looking for a BL series you can binge in one sitting without getting emotionally wrecked, give Bake Me Please a shot.
