Review of "The
Baker and the Beauty"
4/17/20 by
Eva Diaz
airs Mondays, 10/9c on ABC
I thought this would be fun to watch, and since most
shows are in reruns, I thought I would check it out. The
show centers around Daniel Garcia (Victor Rasuk), who meets
international superstar Noa Hamilton (Natalie Kelley), a
woman who seems a bit like Kim Kardashian West - she's a
businesswoman and influencer. Daniel is a baker who works in
his family bakery. Daniel's family is a very close knit
Cuban family. Daniel and Noa meet at a resturant after he
has turned down a marriage proposal from his longtime
girlfriend because he isn't sure that he loves her enough to
marry him. Noa takes Daniel on a night of partying with her,
where she agrees to grant him three wishes. Noa grants two
wishes to Daniel, and then we hear the recurring line from
Noa to Daniel "I still haven't granted you your third wish."
This line got a little annoying because they kept repeating
it so much.
This show is based on an Isreali
television show. While I like the show, it can be a little
obvious. I can sometimes tell what's going to happen. I did
enjoy Daniel's relationship with his family; it is
heartwarming to see how much they love each other. Daniel
and Noa's relationship - I think - will become an
us-against-the-world type of relationship, where they are
constantly trying to prove to their family and friends that
they belong together. This show reminds me a little bit of
those old romatic comedy movies that I enjoy escaping
reality with for a while. I recomend this show to you if you
want to escape from reality. The show isn't that
well-written, in my opinion. I hope it gets better in future
episodes. As I mentioned earlier, it's perfect if you don't
want to think too much, escape a bit and get a warm fuzzy
feeling for an hour. I give this show 4 out of 5 stars.
