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.

Are you looking for scanlations of the AB doujin? If you are, give me a minute to rummage through my bookmarks/memories and I can point you at links for a few; to the best of my knowledge the entire run hasn't been done yet, but there's a scanlation circle that's actively working on the lot.

Yeah, that would be great! I would love to actually find out what was going on. XDD

Hack the Mainstream (http://www.hackthemainstream.com/projects/project_antiquebakerydjs.cfm) -- scanlation of the first book, Ono Dreams In The Kitchen

I think I may have found the other ones on yaoi_daily, but they don't tag so it would take more time than I have this evening to dig up the original posts/download links. I've got local copies squirrelled away here somewhere, let me rummage about a bit and I'll see if I can't backtrack to the scanlators' sites, or if worst comes to worst just zip and reupload 'em myself. :)

This post has a few (but doesn't mention raws/scans for all) and links to another place to find them, but you have to be a member to see the post.

Wow! thanks so much!

I'll flip through yaoi_daily myself, I've got plenty of time on my hands. XDDD But thank you so much for that link!
