Both are about food, love, friendship, brothers and some family secrets. But King of Baking is far more melodramatic, while Sukina na Hito ga Iru Koto is more peaceful and slow.

A really great Taiwanese drama about a girl who works at a small shop and dreams of more and a overbearing chef that ends up teaching her some skills in the kitchen. Similar to Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto because in both dramas they find attraction in each other through their mutual love for food and creating perfect artistic dishes.
