I watched Antique last night. You were right, [livejournal.com profile] darkeyedwolf. It really IS about gay and cake! (I'm not doing a full review, check out the GREAT pimp post on [livejournal.com profile] rainscene instead!)

It was... interesting. In a GOOD way. Though honestly, I prefered the second half a ton more than the first half.

Like I've said before, I'm a lot harsher on movies than on dramas. So if this were a drama, I've love it (speaking of, I totally have to watch the jdrama now, because TAKANO IS THE GAY PASTRY CHEF). As it is, I liked it quite a bit, but didn't love it ala Eternal Summer.

The thing is, it was hilarious. I was seriously laughing out loud for a good portion of it. And the later part was poignant and dramatic. Plus, it was gay. VERY gay. Which was quite nice.

BUT I wasn't shipping at all. I'm glad Jin Hyuk didn't end up gay. I liked the friendship between him and Sun Woo a lot better than I would have liked a relationship.

And Choi Ji Ho reminded me a TON of Lee Un for some reason, and that made me sad...

Kim Jae Wook isn't really my type, but holy shit, Jo Ji Hoon totally is. I found him attractive in Goong, but I was more impressed with Kim Jeong Hoon. But he's perfect in this movie. Longer hair + stubble = total hotness.

And yes, I took a TON of gratitous caps.










They look so cute in that TINY CAR!

Somehow the smoking was REALLY hot.

Sun Woo looks like a matador.




Also, I forgot to post this picture awhile back. I was watching The Rose, and saw this;


Ah Wei is wearing a BOSTON CELTICS jersey! (For those who don't know, the Celtics are the basketball team for Boston, MA. They're awesome, btw. AWESOME.)

And a random shippy picture. Kui x Bai He 4EVA!!

I've seen the Jdrama, with horrible Engrishy subs. It was okay. They really toned down the gayness though. I don't know if it's really worth watching but I guess you could give it a chance.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm not sure I want to watch a version of Antique where there isn't a flamboyantly gay pastry chef... Even if it IS Fujiki Naohito...

Yeah, he does have the same effect of attracting guys and stuff but..... SPOILERS......



He's not gay. He just had a bad breakup with a girl in the past and so shies away from relationships.
