Kim Tak Goo!

King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo or Bread, Love and Dreams is a South Korean drama from KBS. I wasn't really planning to watch it at first because of the number of episodes (30) but I got curious with it so I decided to gave it a try. The first few episodes were actually interesting despite the usual family conflict of having affairs and illegitimate children and heir issues in dramas. I'm not really sure why I got hooked in it even though I got bored for some parts because I've been wanting to see the grown up Kim Tak Goo. Maybe it was the story, plot and the turning of events. Anyway, my patiently waiting paid off when I saw Yoon Shi Yoon! He is really cute even though he greatly reminds me of Lee Jun Ki.

Kim Tak Goo is the eldest son of Goo Il Jong, the chairman of Geosung Foods Enterprise, a legend in the baking industry. Although he is an extremely talented baker and seemed destined to succeed his father as president, Goo Il Jong's family plotted to rob him of his inheritance because he was born to Il Jong's mistress. Tak Goo's determination to become number one in the baking industry drives him to rebuild his career from scratch despite the many trials he faces. - wikipedia

I am so loving this series. Action, comedy, romance, drama -all in one. Great actors, lovable and hateful characters... I love Kim Tak Goo and his father and the grandmother, Yang Mi Sun, Teacher Pal Bong, In Mok, Jin Goo... I so hate Ma Jun and his mother and Manager Han. As for Yu Kyung, I  love her for pissing off the mother but I also hate her for making Tak Goo cry. I know she just wants revenge to the mother but she did not realized that Ma Jun was not just pissing off her mother but also is taking away important things from Tak Goo. 

I hate Ma Jun for doing cruel things to Tak Goo but I somehow understand him why he hates him so much. He'd been seeking for his father's love, attention and recognition all his life and just when he was about to finally receive it, Tak Goo came into the picture. I somehow feels sad for him but I still hate him. Even though the father is to be hated because it is actually his  fault why Ma Jun feels resentment, I could not really hate him because he loves Tak Goo more. Sorry for me being biased ~wink. I  just also love Tak Goo more. As for Ma Jun's mother, I don't feel sorry or any pity for her even though her husband was the one who had an affair first. She is evil along with the ungrateful Manager Han and they both deserve to be buried alive. Lolz...

I really, really love Tak Goo!!!
