Little introduction first:
KBS broadcasted the Baker King from June 2010 to September 2010 in South Korea and during its finale, the Korean drama got a record viewer rating of 50.8%. The Baker King was also accorded presidential honors in the 2010 Republic of Korea Content Wards Ceremony for its contribution in the overseas popularity of Korean popular culture.

It is an emotional roller coaster of a series that tells a story of revenge, hope, love, and dreams in a way no other Korean drama has done.what probably makes Baker King stand out from the rest is that the writers have written a carefully crafted story that continually drives the series forward.
The series is fast paced, easily able to fill its 30 episode order with story when some dramas can’t even fill the typical 16-episode order without going in circles and/or unrelated subplots.
There are so many moving pieces in each episode, all contributing to the overarching story. With one surprise and twist after another.
Baker King manages to not only keep the story moving, but grab a hold of viewer's interest and never lets it go. The series’ ability to jerk itself away from tired drama clichés is a major part in that continuous flow. Just when one think they’ll delve into stereotypical soap, they jerk you back onto the road less traveled.
Baker King is an emotional roller coaster in the best way possible. Happiness, sadness, anger, excitement; Tearing up from being so moved to standing up and cheering to wanting to throw something at the television in anger, Baker King arouses emotion so well that you are more than invested in the lives of these characters

Baker king is not your typical soap opera. it is full of twists and turns yet maintains its interesting story. what i love about baker king is the that it is full of moral values that would inspire the viewers. It made me realize a lot of things about life.like how important friendship is,honesty and gratitude. never quit on your dreams and achieve your dreams the right way.

This one is terrific! It really moved my heart. I recommend this series to everyone out there, and I’m sure you will never blame me afterwards.. I've spent almost two days watching the whole movie, leaving me only 4 hours to take a nap.

Ah, I can see why it was the nation’s drama. I started watching it and it was already intense! The storyline is really good and really inspirational. Although it was really long, it was so totally worth every episode. Definitely a drama that needs to be watched by everyone!
