Origin
King of Baking, Kim Takgu is an award-winning Korean drama series broadcast on KBS2 in 2010 starring Yoon Shi-yoon, Joo Won, Eugene and Lee Young-ah. It was declared a "national drama" after garnering high ratings, including topping 50.0% for its finale episode.
In 2011, GMA Network aired the series, dubbed in Tagalog, under the title The Baker King. For most of its run, it was the highest rated and most watched show in the Philippines. GMA re-aired the drama on weekends in late-2011 and into 2012.
Production
At its December 2013 trade launch to potential advertisers, TV5 announced it had acquired the Philippine adaptation rights to the drama. Baker King was revealed as one of two Korean drama adaptations (along with My Fair Lady) to air on the network in 2014.
TV5 talent Vin Abrenica was initially reported to have either been cast as the lead or second lead on the series. But in March 2014, a story published in the Journal group of daily tabloids reported that TV5 was interested in "borrowing" GMA talent Derrick Monasterio for Baker King in which he would star with TV5 talents Ritz Azul and Eula Caballero.
There would be no news about the project until April 2015 when TV5 announced Baker King would premiere on May 18 with a cast including Boots Anson-Roa, Akihiro Blanco, Shaira Mae, and Inah Estrada. Mark Neumann was cast in the title role, contrary to what had been reported. Abrenica admitted to being "hurt" after learning he had not been cast on the series.
TV5 entertainment head Wilma Galvante said the Filipino adaptation would include Filipino "local flavor" based on the book Panaderia by Amy Uy which is a study of various local breads from different parts of the Philippines.
The series uses several songs from the original Korean soundtrack of Baker King Kim Tak Goo as well as one original Filipino song performed and composed by Ogie Alcasid entitled "Saranghaeyo."
Plot
Takgu is the illegitimate son of Johnny Lee, president of Lee Han Seong Bread Factory. Because of this, the Lee family does not accept him. After his mother is kidnapped, Takgu leaves the Lee home and spends his teenage years looking for her while living on the streets and surviving though odd jobs. He ends up at the famous Lucky Bakeshop where he will unexpectedly face off against his half-brother, Michael. But in addition to learning how to become the best baker in the Philippines, Takgu will learn about life and love.
