WATCH ANTIQUE BAKERY KOREAN MOVIE ENG SUB TV
It's also one of the first major movies to portray a gay character in Korea, although I can think of some others that have come out in the past few years as well.Īs Korean TV and film are still in the early days of portraying homosexual characters I think they still have some problems with stereotyping and strange assumptions about gay culture, but hopefully these movies are a step in the right direction towards bringing homosexuality into the light for average Koreans who still honestly believe that there are no gay Koreans. There is a mystery that needs to be solved as well which makes it more than just your average comedy. The movie is mostly light hearted and fun to watch.
It's a slightly odd situation which makes much more sense now that I know it was based on a manga. There's the owner with a strange past which makes him throw up if he eats cake, the gay master chef who hates women, the ex-boxing champion apprentice and the slightly off bodyguard/adopted brother who makes a mess of everything in the shop. This movie is about four men running a bakery together. If anyone else figures out this, let me know what the secret is.Īfter doing some research on this film, I discovered that it was based on a Japanese manga of the same name. I did find a section on CGV's website that allows you to sign up for regular updates by entering your ARC and name into their system, but for some reason it didn't recognize my number and or name. It still seems as though movie information in English is difficult to access for non-Korean speakers. This year, Cinus is no longer running the subtitled movies, but there are still subtitled movies in the CGV in Yongsan and Myongdong. This movie is another example of Korean movies that have been made (somewhat) accessible to the English speaking ex-pat community in Korea. But here, I felt no empathy for anyone involved and I really hated every single character. I'm no movie critic, but when I watch a movie, I like to be able to connect or at least like one of the characters.
The characters all felt very flat and one dimensional. The movie was quite predictable and I was quite disgusted by the fact that suicide is considered a good way to get revenge in the end. I was not impressed at all with the story. I went in expecting some sort of chick flick comedy and instead I got this gruesome upstairs/downstairs story. I was told great things about this movie from some Korean girlfriends of mine, though no one told me what it was about. In the end, to get her revenge on the family for putting her through hell, she kills herself in a very graphic way in front of the children. Totally unexpectedly (note sarcasm) she starts to have an affair with the husband and the movie mostly pertains to the results of this affair, and what happened when the wife and the wife's mother found out. Basically it's the story of a woman who picks up a job working in a house as a nanny and maid for an extremely wealthy family. Thanks cheesy, webby for the vid linkies.This movie was based on the 1960 movie called The Housemaid. ^ Extract from this linkie, credit nabi soompi news thread > Is Korea Going Gay? Gorgeous men, gorgeous food, and some delicious man-on-man kiss scenes are enough to make this movie a cult favorite among fangirls. The promising fan service queer flick “Antique Bakery” has been the center of attention for some time now.
