The King of Baking, Kim Takgu also known as The Baker King
was one of the successful
Korean drama series aired in the Philippines. The
story revolves around the life of Kim Tak Goo, the eldest son of the president

Synopsis
Kim Tak Goo is a simple person with a big dream, to become famous
in the baking industry just like his father. He is the eldest son of Goo II
Joong to Kim Misun (mother of
Tak Goo) which is his mistress. Due to loathing
and envious to Kim Tak Goo, the chairman’s wife Insok, made his life miserable.
Worst, she planned to rob Tak Goo’s mother just to get rid of him.
After his mother was kidnapped, Takgu decided to leave his
home to look for his mother because his mother is very dear to him. He spends
12 years looking for her. With his journey to find his mother, he entered a
baking school of Pal Bong (a legend in the baking industry, just like his
father and who happens to be the teacher of his father).
At the baking school, Takgu found the man who kidnapped his
mother, but he tells that his mother is already dead. After knowing that his
mother is already dead, he continued his life in the bakery and become skilled in
making bread.
On the other hand, Majun, Takgu’s half brother is also at
the same school. He wants to learn the art of making bread to get his father’s
approval to take over their family business. But, Takgu is not aware of it
since his half brother never reveals his true identity to them.
On the later part of the story, it is revealed that Takgu’s
mother is not dead, and she is also looking for his son as well. The president
also spent some years looking for his eldest son, eventually learned that he is
living in the bakery where he first master the art of making bread and he was
so angry to Majun because he hide the truth from him.
Takgu reunited to his mother again. However, it is not yet
the end of the story. Insok and her lover Han (the President assistant), made
another dark planned to kill Takgu and to make sure that Majun will take the
position of his father as the president of their company. Unfortunately, they failed
with their planned and Han goes to prison. And at the end, as the saying goes “the
characters live happily ever after”.
Point of View:
I love the character of Takgu. He’s like a typical person
who never fails to dream and always think positive. He will do anything to
make his dream come true whatever it takes. Despite of the trials and hardships
that he encountered on his journey, he never failed to smile. Also, I love the
way he love his mother and he never let anger stay on his heart which makes him
a better person, from my point of view.
