King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo (2010)

I would say that King of Baking is far better than Five Fingers! But if you love good acting, suspenseful/emotional plot, and rich people making a MESS of themselves, then Kim Tak Gu is the drama for you!

it kinda similar where they work hard to become succesful. it's very similar in the kinda touching amily drama series

both food related, birth twists, disorientated family. Both leads are talented and work their way up to become great chefs/bakers. King of baking is more inspirational whereas Feast of the gods focus on revenge a little more.

Some actors in King of Baking also in feast of the gods.

Both the stories show you
1)How a nice person can be made evil due to the circumstances thrown at them, eg; Maru from Innocent Man, Yoo Kyung from King of Baking.
2)The love affairs that end in fatal attraction situations eg: Seo In Suk and Han from KOB and Jae Hee and Anh from IM

Both are dramas about a young man that endures many hardships and setbacks as he pursues his dreams, but always remains optimistic and never gives up.

Deals with the same plot of an illegitimate child brought home to a rich family. Also includes the rivalry of two brothers and an evil mother who favors one of the brothers. The main character takes revenge against his brother and mother, like Five Fingers. Overall, the plot is the same, but I personally liked Baker King, Kim Tak Goo a little bit more.

They have similiar plots. Feast of the Gods isn't as good as Baker King, but it is worth watching if you liked Baker King.

They both tell the story of a man that faces allot of pain to reach their dreams. The feeling of the drama is also the same. But Kim Tak Goo is a better drama imo.

Yoon Shi Yoon who plays Enrique is a wonderful actor. He is able to emit such a range and variety of emotions. Both dramas have fun parts, but deal with serious themes in life. One deals with a young lady who had emotionally and physically withdrawn after unfair hardships from others, while another deals with a young man who continues to persevere and fight on despite unfair treatment from others.

Both dramas are about a child who was separated from his wealthy family. Only the circumstances are different. And eventually this main character happens to come back to his real parents..

Although these two kdramas are completely different in both plot and time period, I would recommend this if you are looking for a drama with a male lead similar to Yong/Tak Goo. I found that the male leads are somewhat alike in terms of both their personalities and goals; they are both looking to get revenge for the murder (/kidnapping) of one of their parents and go down difficult paths in hopes of achieving it. They also share a more light-hearted/humorous side to them. However, while Iljimae grows more serious as the series progresses, in King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo the male lead loses some of his resolve around half way through the drama and starts to focus more on his baking .

Both center around the love of bread and baking, with bread being part of and representation of life's happiness.

They both start off when the charecters were young and every single episode draws you to the next.

Both dramas have love triangle at first. And also after looking all those fancy cakes/pasteries, you might be interested to see the different types of bread brought to you in Baker King.

poor and rich type of drama. crying scenes are gold. EoE is a really long series but BK is only 30. I love tak gu so much but cant find another drama thats similar. But EoE is near the same but different storyline (no cooking involved) but if you love a good ol OST, this one has some good ones in my opinion.
