Hornea Tus Sueños (2026)

The judges were awful

Things I loved

1 That it was a pastry contest of course. Although for the love of god I don't know why they kept saying bread in English. If it was about bread then it should be about bread. That wasn't the case. Did the bake bread? Yes. But mostly it was pastries, so what the heck? All in all, it was an utter failure.

Things I liked

1 The contestants. Most were sympathetic and did their best to present us great pastries.

2 The winner. She was good, she has a crazy talent for details and she deserved the win.

3 The amateur judge. She was fresh and she honest about what she enjoyed and why. She didn't try to act like an expert and I appreciated that.

Things I disliked

1 The theme of every episode. I didn't find them enticing enough and there were too many that were stupid and not original at all.

2 Some of the contestants but luckily very few.

3 The judges that I didn't hate except for Mimi that I liked.

Things I hated

1 The judges panel. Napoli Matfia what an idiot. Not only did he win without glory his competition but he had to ruin this one with his stupid comments. Not only that but he had the nerve to say to the amateur contestant that she shouldn't be there. What a despicable idiot. She was one of the best contestants and she had a great attitude and she had to agree with that idiot? Please!!

2 The female judge who works in France. What a disagreeable arrogant woman. She rarely smiled and what ever she said you thought she ate a bitter lemon. I hated her. It's so clear she thinks she's the best.

2 Da-Hee, the presenter. I love her in Single's Inferno. She's so funny, incisive, beautiful. Here she was awful. She had nothing to do and when she spoke was only to frustrate us by taking an hour to effing give us the scores etc. If there is a second season she should stay out of that program. She deserves better.

Concept great, poor judging attitudes

I really love Culinary Class Wars Seasons I and II. The contestants are fantastic and the judging is high quality, fair and interesting.

I wanted to love Cheonha Bakery: Bake Your Dream and it started out well, but after the very first competitor presented their bread, it went downhill. One judge in particular ruins the show - Noh Hee Young. There is just no reason to be rude and mean. She seems to enjoy that attitude. I wonder if she has never watched other cooking and baking shows that are so popular and have been around forever. One classic is the Great British Bake Off. They are well manners, polite, kind, firm at times, and honest without being mean. It was extremely repugnant to not even give one of the bakers a honest critique and not even allow him to enter the judges' table. How insulting and damaging to his self esteems and reputation. I found that to be so disturbing as well as disgusting. I'm disappointed in this show for doing that.

Kim Na-rae, while not as repugnant as Noh Hee Young, has a very snotty, know it all attitude that is really unpleasant. I suppose if everyone is lofty and high-brow, she would be their kind of judge. It appears to me that most of these bakeries are shops that ANY of us regular people could visit and afford. Their baked goods appeal to the general public.

Thank goodness Master Baker Lee Seok-won, Mimi, and Chef Kwon Sung-jun are also judges. They are thoughtful and offer their opinions and critiques with expertise and kindness. I'll give it one more shot, but I hope to never see another contestant who came with such high hopes and dreams and gave so much effort to be treated so cruelly and disrespectfully.
