Light and Entertaining

I found this to be an entertaining little story. The love story is not going to make anyone cry, but it is a good way to fill a pandemic evening or two.

Plot: The basic plot of following the love interest of a pastry chef is pretty cool. Some of the scenes of pastry-tastings were well done, and reminded me of "Babette's Feast." Yi-fan starts off to be a stern task master, and the "i don't really care" Kai-en is a nice contrast. Sadly, the relationship development between Kai-en and Yi-fan is weak. You never get the feeling of real love blossoming (or why?). It just happens.

Aside from the tasting scene, the most memorable scene for me was the one where Yi-fan gets trapped during a power outage. David Chiu played that scene very well, and it had a considerable impact on me.

Actors: I thought the leads were pretty good. Chiu is strong. Cheng Chang Fan is adorable in a diffident sort of way as Kai-en. This is Cheng's first movie role, and I hope he goes on to develop his art further. (I'm gonna look for his florist shop the next time I visit Taipei, in hopes of seeing him for real.) The supporting actors were just okay, in my opinion.

Production: Not lavish, but pretty good. Nice sets in the pastry shop. Modern and bright. I did think the wedding scene , while visually nice, was a bit cloying and over the top. (Yes, I know it is highly significant that Taiwan is the only place in Asia to allow marriage equality, but watching that scene was like eating a piece of too-sweet pastry.)
