It occurred to me that a few people who might be interested in this may not have seen it yet, and so I bring you the trailer for the Korean adaptation of Antique Bakery. I am told by those who know such things that it's actually much gayer than the manga. (Which, actually, is kind of interesting. With Korean dramas, you usually have to interpret a hug as kissing, and a few pecks as a makeout session. But the movies? Not so conservative... At all.)

Anyway, trailer:

I have to say, even though I'm not very interested in the movie, the trailer is addictively cute (I think it's the music) the food pr0n looks amazing, and that's the first time I've ever thought Joo Ji Hoon looked attractive at all. (Yes, I know, heresy, but I've never understood why he's so popular.) ~~The Very Very Gay baker is cuter, though.~~ If nothing else, it looks much more entertaining than the Japanese adaptation. How anything with Fujiki Naohito and Abe Hiroshi managed to be dull is something I'll never understand.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking of starting a drinking game for anytime someone says Yoon Eun Hye should have been cast as Makino in the Korean Hana Yori Dango. Seriously, did she even audition? And, frankly, I can't picture her in the role. I like her, but in 24 episodes of Goong and 4 of Vineyard Man, I've seen her stand up for herself exactly once. For about 7 seconds, and then it was back to the cutesy protesting. Still, I have 12 episodes of Vineyard Man and all of Coffee Prince to watch, so my opinion could change. If nothing else, Vineyard Man is already a vast improvement over Goong.

I highly highly recommend The Devil!! Okay, so I haven't seen more than 5 minutes of Goong (and THAT I'm erasing forever from my memory) so I don't have actual proof, but I'm 99.999999% sure that JJH's character in Goong is nothing like him in The Devil. I was absolutely fascinated by him, the layers to his character, and how well his character clicks with the other cast members. And plus, if you aren't a big fan of JJH's character, there's always the cop, who is very adorable. XD And! Cool female character! She is the sweetest thing you'll ever see, and the two guys look up to her alot, and her character was shown as having her own life beyond the two guys. (She has a job! She has family! She gets along with her family without endless angst or money problems!) Andddddd she has psychometric powers. XDD
