This was exactly what I expected: a cute little show with family drama, complicated romance, but probably a little less baking than what I'd hoped.

Overall, it's not the type of show I'd watched going for hundred of seasons though I find it harsh that this was cancelled after one season when some shows have been on the air for yeaaaars.

The bad:

- There is nothing deep to find in the storylines and there is nothing to hope for in terms of new content. The 'disputes' that occur feel a little convoluted because the characters are all so damn nice and tolerant about everything. The drama was quite forced in a way reminiscent of telenovelas and it was hard to care about any of the fights as a happy resolution seemed almost certain.

- The main romance was probably the least interesting part of the plot. I don't blame both the actors which are quite charming but the Garcia family time was hard to top. I guess I don't care much about the celebrity world so the fantasy of traveling and doing extravagant things was lost on me. Also, I was annoyed that Daniel got swooped in and seemed to forget all his duties at the bakery and went on with Noa everywhere for a while.
- The whole show lacked some scenery shots of Miami. Considering the setting, the music and the mood fell a little flat.

- Also, not enough baking. Those were the best bits.

The good:

- All the characters are actually really nice. I mean, this was satisfying in a way because some shows tend to go overboard with bad or good people but no one is actually terrible in this one. Everyone has motives and goals and everyone's mature enough to take a step back and reflect. Natalie's probably too mature for her age though but since I have a profound dislike of teenagers in tv shows, I'm fine with her not quite acting 15.

- The actors were quite charismatic and sold whatever they could with what they had. Michelle Veintimilla (Vanessa) was amazing considering she had the most difficult part to sell to the audience. She managed to turn a seemingly manic girlfriend into the jilted girlfriend and more.

- The Garcia parents. I mean, can they adopt me? There was something really perfect (almost too perfect) about the characters and their relationship. I looooved seeing Carlos Gómez in that role, he was the stuff of dreams.


Overall, a very short and satisfying watch.
