?
I love this series, they could have made Air and Hachi end up tght, but overall this show is really dear to me, I waited for 4 years and I didn't expect it to be THAT good, I loved the chemistry, slow burn and how they really took it slow not rushing it even if there were only 8 eps. My Jeffbarcode did really good, I watched it in 3 hours and those 3 hours were the best of my life, it feels like letting them go for the second time not knowing when we are going to get a series with them again, I loved the storyline and how it was soo pure and cuteWas this review helpful to you?
Ignore the haters, it's just good fun!
Ignore the hate comments and low ratings; some people just apparently can't seem to deal with the fact that this show was completely unserious ON PURPOSE, lol.Yes, it's low-budget; yes, there were some leaps of logic; and yes, the editing was a bit choppy in-between scenes, so you had to pay attention and fill in some things yourself; however, it's very clear that this was just supposed to be comedic/ridiculous 'B-movie'-type fun, and it did that job quite admirably. It made me laugh and "aww" at all the right places, and even made me invested in its (pleasant-)surprisingly happy ending, so overall I had a great time with this cute little sweet and silly comedy! 🩵

What a mess…
Wow… That was a complete mess. The plot was all over the place. Totally illogical. Choppy editing. Loads of little inconsistencies and continuity errors. Oftentimes zero transitions between scenes or emotions. Terribly written with awkward dialogue. The characters each spoke Thai, Korean, or English as, like, a character trait for no discernible reason. The whole thing felt beneath the dignity of the actors, especially Jeff. Jeff did his absolute best with what he was given. You could tell he was really trying to put genuine emotion and nuance into his acting, but there was only so much he could do with what he had to work with. I pretty much only stuck it out for him, and I guess it was diverting enough. Nothing overtly offensive, but also just so ridiculous and low quality entertainment. But maybe it was also kind of what I needed this week. Just to totally turn off my brain.Was this review helpful to you?
Cringe? Yeah. Fun? Kinda.
Was the show cringe? Yeah, it was very cringe. The dog was hard to watch, the characters are stupid and the story is goofy but it's what made this show fun in my opinion. I mean it made me laugh and I found myself waiting for the next episodes every week. However, the romances are not really well explored especially in the last episodes where everything is rushed. Raon and Wooju we're cute actually and their romance was cute but it went too fast at the end. Also the side couple was so uninteresting and useless. And I didn't understand a single thing of the main plot. Everything was rushed when it comes to this.Was this review helpful to you?

A ONE TIME WATCH.
BEFORE YOU READ THIS REMEMBER THAT I INTEND FOR NO HATE/ DISRESPECT TO THE ACTORS NOR AM I MAKING A PERSONAL COMMENTARY TOWARDS ANYONE IN ANY ASPECT. I AM SIMPLY GIVING MY OPINION. KEEPING THIS IN MIND PLEASE CONTINUE!I seriously am one of those fans who have been waiting for this series since a really long time, and I was very happy when I came to know the series is going to be released. I really do understand why Jeff and Barcode are hyped. I really get it. You get to see an entirely different version of themselves, not the same version which we saw in Kinnporsche. Let's break the characters one by one:
1) Jeff is a phenomenal actor. This dude slayed it with his looks, expressions and dialogues. The outfits I feel could have been better. They could have gone with something better than what they gave him and all the other aliens. It was too typical. I really liked the white fit he wore though. I feel it suited him. In that scene where Barcode is like mesmerized by his looks and stares at him (Me too) the way it was captured was pretty impressive, but at the same time pretty standard. I don't know how to explain it but yeah, that scene showed his features in like a phenomenal way and I could see that alienish face of his (Once you see the scene you'll get it). I feel his character was poorly written tho. Jeff deserves better.
2) Barcode: Can I say that Barcode did his best but disappointed me? It was like he was not giving his whole acting potential into the series. His face his innocence is overall personality voice able to match that innocent young boy who is struggling a lot and has gone through a lot of stuff in life. I hate saying this, but his acting didn't exactly impress me. The scene in which he comes to know who killed his parents. He could have done SO MUCH better. I really couldn't get those vibes which was supposed to be conveyed. Overall I feel he couldn't match the charisma of Jeff. How much affection I had for him in Kinnporsche I couldn't exactly feel that for him here in Wooju Bakery.
3) JeffBarcode chemistry: AMAZING. They were amazing together, but there was lack of good scenes and no room for character development. I wish they got better dialogues and scenes. I mean I could feel sparks in certain scenes but JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE JEFFBARCODE!!!! Also yeah there relationship was left incomplete btw. They could have given us a better ending for RaolWuju!!!
4) Other opinions: Overall a series that had an amazing cast but failed to utilise their full potential. Other actors overall did a good job but yeah the actor playing the dog (no insult to the actor/character but I forgot his name) could have acted better. He felt out of place in some scenes except for the ones in which he was acting like a full blown dog. (No insults whatsoever) The person who played the princess did an AMAZING JOB! My love towards the actor and character. Also his character could have had better scenes with the Policeman. I mean I get it the series was short but yeah it could be shown better. Everything felt rush. Was the wait worth it? I mean seeing JeffBarcode in this vibe it was. Too bad their talents weren't fully utilised.
Overall summary in one sentence: IT'S A ONE TIME WATCH!

peak Thai comedy
Overall: this was a wild ride and I enjoyed myself immensely. 8 episodes about 25 minutes each. Aired internationally on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/6712/wooju-bakery-2026-e01 (not in Japan, Thailand or S. Korea which has it on Wavve streaming platform)Content Warning: held against will, past murders, attempted murder
What I Liked
- unique premise
- visuals
- styling (especially the sequins, iridescence, deep v necks, semi see thru shirts and large earrings)
- some touching moments between the leads
- adored Princess
Room For Improvement
- the comedy did not work all of the time
- AI in episode 1
- choppy at times though it kind of fed into its chaotic charm
- unanswered questions

It's magical and funny kinda gives off old children's movie vibes but the editing issues are obvious
I was kinda expecting this to be on the serious romance side like "goblin" or "my demon" or "my love from another side". Ngl jeff's outfit bothered me for a while😆😆 in the 1st ep. I was bro he's an alien why he dressed like a sky kids villain. The explanation helped a lot.The drama will remind you of old children's movies like spy kids, charlie and the chocolate factory kind. I really liked the graphics and visuals and all the magic going on. Unfortunately it's not subbed yet and the drama is in Thai, Korean and English. I can understand english and korean but thai is a problem for me so I'm gonna rewatch once subbed.
The aliens costume was not my favorite but i did like Raon's minions. They're adorable 🤭🤭
My fav character soo far would be princess. I also have a new ship which i think is gonna sail i.e. the princess and the police
When he said "Why can't a man be a princess? If you're handsome you're a prince, if you're pretty you're a princess. Like me... Well you're... definitely a prince *wink*" kyaaaaaaaa i love him i love him i love him❤️❤️❤️ just please don't be wicked.
Overall 2 episodes in and i think i like it. Hope the actors get paid for this though cz it's unfair.
Gonna update my review after i finish once and after watching with subs once again. Until then ciao
Edit: finished the drama. It is really not a serious one, more like a children's movie than a BL. We get 1 kiss which was just lips touching😆. I feel it could be a lot better if it was released back then with proper music and editing cz it's pretty obvious that they had a bunch of clips that the editing team tried their best to join without any creativity.
For the first time in my entire life have i seen a human leave earth for their partner. That was new and unexpected. I liked all the couples. CopPrincess being my fav although they barely get 30 mins in the series. I feel the series was okay, not the best. You won't miss out if you don't watch it. It's not everyone's cup of tea and the trailer and series are totally different 😆😆 not once did i see Raon in normal cloths.

So much fun!
Omg, it’s so funny! Feels very similar to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It’s silly and ridiculous and absolutely adorable. I laughed so hard I was crying, and the guys are so, so sweet! If you’re looking for heavy drama- this ain’t it. But if you’re looking for lighthearted fun and laughs, then this is definitely the one to watch.That they are all speaking different languages makes it even more awesome. I think this will be one that I keep on hand for days that I just need a little pick-me-up. I’m watching late at night and was worried my laughter would wake people up.

Well that was a waste of time
It's so disappointing when something you've waited for for a long time turns out to be abysmal. It's one thing if this was intended to be a comedy and was carried out more intelligently. The production value ... well, there was no production value. There are better YouTube videos shot by high school students with their iphones.I rated it as highly as I did because the actors occasionally tried. Also the musical score was cute.
And now i'm going to ramble to make the review as long as is required.
Honestly, a dog onesie as a costume for character who's supposed to shape shift.
Why is the prince wearing swim googles?

Here to watch one last JeffBarcode drama? Don't bother.
I was excited to see one last JeffBarcode drama as there won't be any more but this was so weird id advise everyone not to waste their time watching. The drama is in 3 languages (Thai, Korean & English). Everyone speaks in Korean and it's set in Korea. Except Jeff and Barcode speak only in Thai. One character only speaks in English. The subtitles are rage inducing. The plot makes almost no sense at all. The ending is abrupt and leaves a lot out. To be honest it was like watching a too long didn't read version of a story. It was honestly the weirdest drama I've ever seen.Was this review helpful to you?

Didn´t they say that it is canceled? Or was it only on Gagaoolala, and is it airing somewhere else? Like, I am about to watch the first episode, where did they get this???? Don´t ask where am I watching the series, because I don´t want it to be taken down, but somehow I just found the first episode, what is going on, please help?Was this review helpful to you?
