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.

But perhaps I'm just a disfunctional female or something, since it seems like everyone loves this show to death. ^^;;;

Date: 2008-10-07 12:12 am (UTC)I haven't seen The Devil. I've thought about it, but pics, clips and comments on JJH make me think too much of his role in Goong. And I'm an unusual female, it seems, because his character there is quite possibly my least favorite drama character ever, and this is a time where I have difficulty separating character and actor, much as I hate how so many seem to hold characters against performers. Antique Bakery, however, finally seems completely removed from that in every way.

Date: 2008-10-07 03:58 am (UTC)Of course! I'd love to be friended! Erm, there will be random book/manga/anime talks too, and slashy talk, and I don't tend to post RL things, and I'm very very shallow, so you may sporadically see me rant for an entry about how hot so and so actor is and that should be a good enough reason to watch so and so show, but if you don't mind, then yeah!!

See e.g. picspam for ep 5:

I like books, manga and anime and am totally fine with slash. I barely post anything personal and as to shallow fangirling? I love it!
