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.

I waited over 4 years, for this?
Over four years of waiting, not to mention all the legal issues and behind-the-scenes drama, and this is what we get?This was one of the most confusing series I’ve watched in a long time. Every episode deviated so heavily from the last that you were constantly playing catch-up, only for any new information or major development to happen in the final three minutes of a 20-minute episode.
I can’t even fully fault the bad acting because it genuinely felt like the script and direction gave the cast nothing solid to work with. The characters were written in such an inconsistent and frustrating way that almost everyone came across as unintelligent — especially Wooju and Hyeok. Not to forget how it was hard to understand any of what was happening.
The one redeeming thing about this series was that we FINALLY got a JeffBarcode kiss.
Honestly, Wooju Bakery had potential. The premise could’ve worked really well if the series had been given more time to breathe. Eight episodes at around 20 minutes each just weren’t enough. This should’ve been a standard-length BL with hour-long episodes so the relationships, plot points, and emotional moments could actually develop naturally instead of feeling rushed and half-explained.
The tone was also all over the place. The show constantly flipped between sweet, goofy comedy and intense melodrama so abruptly that it gave me whiplash.
And on top of all that, GagaOOLala’s subtitles were genuinely distracting and frustrating at times. Overall, this was a really disappointing watch considering how long fans waited for it.

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?
ABSOLUTELY WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND
This was one of the worst bl's I have ever watched....you would think with these great actors it would be good but no...it was a complete disappointment. I told myself I wouldn't watch it yet decided to watch it. I hate that I did. I waited 4 damn years for this piece of trash? Jeff and Barcode are such good actors but it felt like they were reading off the script while acting. Their acting was so bad in this. their voices were so monotone. This show feels like something a person wrote when they were bored and didn't even read it after. I am sorry but no!Was this review helpful to you?
HUH
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?
Mala historia y mala producción
La historia es mala, pero ponerla en 8 episodios cortos es aún peor. Muchos personajes que sobran e ideas innecesarias. La idea de los extraterrestres es tan confusa que llega a ridícula. El vestuario parece improvisado, la escenografía es muy sencilla, la intención de que cada uno hable un idioma diferente no cobra sentido. Un desarrollo de la historia apresurado e inconexo. Lo único que salva es la química del JeffBarcode, se merecen una mejor serie, ojalá en un futuro vengan mejores proyectos. Posdata: que me presten esa pistola extraterrestre que usan para olvidar cosas y hacer que me olvide de haberla visto.Was this review helpful to you?
No es lo que esperaba
Juré que iba a ser una historia normalita (mi culpa, no leí la sinopsis) y resultó ser una historia de alienígenas de pura comedia.Muchas escenas (especialmente el 1er capítulo) dan puro cringe, de hecho da tanto cringe que da risa, es muy ligera de ver (si es que el cringe no te gana) y como es tan corta puedes terminarla en una tarde, es perfecta para verla esos días en los que estás tan aburrida que solo quieres ver algo gracioso y diría que hasta infantil, para mí niños +11 pueden verla.

Aliens?
Primeiramente, QUE VIAGEM FOI ESSA??Segundamente, acho que as expectativas, de quem não gostou tanto, atrapalharam esse BL. Sinto que todo mundo estava tão ansioso para ver JeffBarcode mais uma e última vez que a empolgação e as expectativas estavam lá em cima, ainda mais depois de adiamento atrás de adiamento.
Talvez eu tenha um pouco de culpa também, porque não li a sinopse. Quando a história apresentou aliens, eu fiquei tipo: "???". Mas, enfim, tirando essa surpresa inicial, fiquei muito confusa com a mistura linguística. Cada personagem parecia falar uma língua diferente: era tailandês, coreano e inglês. Fiquei tão confusa que cheguei a duvidar da minha própria capacidade de diferenciar os idiomas. Não entendi muito bem essa escolha narrativa. Não chegava a atrapalhar o entendimento da história, mas me tirava da imersão o tempo todo.
A história dos aliens foi um grande tanto faz. Teve episódio que me exigiu mais do que outros para conseguir terminar, mesmo tendo só uns vinte e poucos minutos. Não consegui me apegar a ninguém. Não me importava com os personagens secundários, nem com os vilões. Nem os próprios protagonistas eram tão interessantes assim. Parecia que a série não dava tempo suficiente para desenvolver a personalidade deles além do básico.
Poderia dizer aqui que pelo menos me diverti, mas não foi o caso. Se me tirou algumas risadas, foram muito poucas. O romance tinha potencial, mas, com uma história e personagens tão rasos, ficou difícil segurar a barra. Tivemos um beijinho de JeffBarcode? Tivemos. Mas valeu por tudo isso? Alguns podem dizer que sim, já que foi uma despedida do shipp.
A questão da padaria que os aliens transformaram... sério, aquilo era para ser uma padaria alternativa, mas ficou parecendo muito mais uma rave. Pensei que seria muito melhor uma padaria daquelas que tem uma vibe bem acolhedora porém com um toque diferente, mas enfim.
O suposto plot da história, como já disse, não poderia me importar menos. O orçamento da série também pareceu ser um pastel e um caldo de cana. Não era o que eu esperava.
Também não acho que seja uma abominação de série. Só não consigo pensar em muitos pontos para exaltar. Talvez ela nem seja TÃOO horrível quanto eu fiz parecer. Só que realmente não funcionou para mim.

Avis mitigé
J'avoue que le teaser qu'on a eu il y a quelques années n'a strictement rien a voir avec la série. C'est totalement une Rom-Com avec du drame qui ne ressemble pas vraiment à du drame.Le plus gros point faible de la série c'est son histoire, c'est un peu comme "Tout ça pour ça ?". Et c'est vraiment dommage car la fin paraît trop absurde pour avoir un rapport avec le reste de l'histoire.
Mais en contrepartie l'acting est vraiment parfait, Jeff s'en sort dans tous ses rôles dans tout les cas, et Barcode est une très belle surprise, même si je reste convaincu que les thrillers sont ses meilleurs rôles(allez voir DFF).
Et je dois absolument parler de l'épisode 7, la musique interprété par les deux c'est juste extraordinaire, personne de doute du talent de Jeff et l'unisson avec Barcode rend tout absolument géniale. Et le kiss aussi il faut en parler, j'attends ça depuis Kinnporsche !!
Regardez seulement si vous êtes fan de Jeffcode.
