#ANTIQUE BAKERY KOREAN MOVIE MOVIE#

Usually a movie remake of a book will have more or less half of the scenes altered or even deleted altogether. How should I know how good he did? One of the problems remakes have is the lack of similarity with the original. Director Min Kyu-dong did an excellent job remaking this great manga. Of course, being this a movie that centers in a cake shop, amazingly done shots of mouth-watering cakes can not be missed.Īntique is actually a film rendition of a manga or Japanese comic named Antique Bakery. The two-decade long mystery will be solved with the help of none other than the Antique cake shop itself. Towards the end of the movie, the attention shifted to the search of a case similar to Jin-hyuk’s when, as a child, for two months kidnapped and was fed with cakes everyday while he “stayed”. It includes dealing with Jin-hyuk’s hatred of sweetness, Sun-woo’s problematic gay life, Gi-bum’s boxing history, and Soo-young’s klutzy self. Throughout the story, the four men had to deal with different situations happening around the former antique shop turned cake shop. Bodyguard Soo-young had an abused mother, moved to the Kim household and soon became a part of the family as his mother was made into a house-keeper. Apprentice Gi-bum was an ex-boxing champion who had to give up his boxing life because of an eye condition. Patissier Sun-woo is a “gay of demonic charms” who had a crush on Jin-hyuk during high school. Owner Jin-hyuk was kidnapped during childhood and often has nightmares at night because he couldn’t remember what happened. The four main characters each have a different interesting background. This shop is run by four charming men: cranky owner Kim Jin-hyuk ( Joo Ji-hoon), genius patissier Min Sun-woo ( Kim Jae-wook), cake-lover apprentice Yang Gi-bum ( Yoo Ah-in), and clumsy bodyguard Nam Soo-young ( Choi Ji-ho). The story rotates around a French cake shop named Antique.
