Thea Balderama, a 220-pound late bloomer, believes that she will never meet her mother's incredibly high standards for beauty. Worse, while Thea deals with her deep-seated insecurities about her weight, she must also study to get into her dream university while keeping up with her boy-crazy best friends. Her life becomes even more complicated when Lucas Benitez, her Kuya's best friend, (and her longtime crush!), returns from the States. As her attraction to Lucas grows, Thea cooks for him, pouring her passion into irresistible merienda, hoping to reach her crush’s heart through his stomach, in the hopes that he will think she's beautiful—fat and all. Though Thea knows nothing is a piece of cake, she has a hopeful heart, and she's hungry for love. Being with Lucas might just be worth the risk.

Reviews
Light, cute and short drama with a bit of comedy
Okay, so i just finished watching this series and it's a total so-so. Let's start with the story. It's good not so bad, just hoping that they add more flavor to the story since the flow of the story is common and a bit boring.The characters are quite good especially the mc's best friends. However, the mc itself is a total no! She's a desperate, pitiful and her attitude got worsen in the middle of the story, realistic but quite irritating.
It ended where the mc held a party and said yes to her long time crush who rejected her when she's fat. i would love it if the mc ended with her best friend. (because julian is a green flag) nevertheless I'm not satisfied with the ending.
The acting is good, i can say that francine did a good job portraying her character. (I laughed on the part where she gave julian's phone to lucas. ) she really stands out. I also love her best friend, i forgot the name but the girl bestfriend she has in the story is really good. She acted just like how (filipino) best friend are like. Kd and akira is also good but bit awkward maybe. Idk
Overall, if you like a light,cute, and short drama this is for you.
Well, this is just my opinion. But still, they did a great job!
