meganbmooreIt 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.

Date: 2008-10-06 10:59 pm (UTC)Honestly, even though she was too much a character type and not enough of a character for me to really like her, I can understand why Chae-Gyung's so popular. I will never understand how people can like Shin, approve of any of his behavior, or find him sympathetic (your parents expect you to live up to the expectations of your station, why the entire country relies on your to do, and you'd rather sulk. Boo hoo.)
