During the 1990s, hardworking Mi-soo and optimistic Hyun-woo meet at a bakery and fall in love while exchanging stories on a radio station, but while their paths keep crossing, the timing never seems to work out.
The take
This slow romance is set in a Seoul bakery during the 1990s. A boy fresh out of juvenile detention and a part-time employee fall for each other while working there. For a while, their existence is joyful and quiet as they sell bread and bond.
However, the Asian financial crisis of 1997 forces the bakery to close. This makes them seek different jobs away from each other.
As a romance, Tune in for Love is not original but it doesn’t need to. It’s just easy and enjoyable.
