wholesome with a touch of mystery
Baker's boys is a sweet show that's both wholesome with a touch of mystery. It's not a BL but it does have some gay characters which is always nice to see in any media. Also you will get to see the fliratious Weir (Singto) giving a cheeky wink here and there.
What is the show about? Well it's about four guys who work in a bakery - Punn (Lee) a rich guy who is the owner of the bakery which he does to find his lost love. Weir (Singto) is a flirtatious gay chef who is looking for a place to work but is scared of women. Krating (Pluem) an ex-boxer due to a medical condition and is now trying to become a pro-baker. Pooh (Foei) Punn's bodyguard who is quite clumsy and always making a mess. The show follows the four as they become a family and we see all of them tackle their particular traumas that was affecting them. It's a bit of a mix of comedy with a who did it mystery storyline.
What did I think about the show? The production was top tier as GMMTV is always able to deliver. Cinematography was on point and in general the camera angles and piecing of scenes was done well. The actors all had great chemistry which is the main element that makes this show fun to watch. The acting overall was great and I felt they all really conveyed the characters' emotion well. Overall the story is not bad but it's probably the weakest thing about this show. It is not mind-blowing plot that's particular clever but it was still interesting enough to keep me coming back every week. Some scenes did seem out of place at times, like some of the characters behaviours and dialogue and I felt some scenes and drama could have been approached differently but as a whole the show does come together. It does tackle character growth really well which is something I think every character from this show went through which is actually quite rare.
For me, Baker's boy is the perfect Sunday afternoon show that's not overly full on but it does have some extra spice with the mystery aspect of the plot. If you are looking for exactly that then this may be the show for you.
