A hot bakery owner and his gay stripper pastry chef.
Do I need to say anything else? Do you even need images? If I stopped the pimp right here, would you need more? I don't think so.

Jin Hyuk is a cake shop owner who hates cake. This actually makes more sense than anything else in the movie.


Sun Woo is a part-time patissier, part-time gay club extraordinaire. He's so hot male characters literally describe him as "dripping with pheromones" and talk about "lust at first sight."


He is, you see, THE GAY OF DEMONIC CHARM.
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP.
THE GAY OF DEMONIC CHARM.






Horny men get together and talk about how he should be communal property for the good of society. "Guys like him are meant to be shared." Sun Woo shares their sentiments, much to the anguish of broken-hearted boys left in his dust -- "If Sun Woo so much as smiled at a guy, then gay or normal, they were all on their knees like a bunch of cult followers."



Sure, they're on their knees as cult followers.



At the bakery, Jin Hyuk is immune to the subliminal penis waves of Sun Woo's tight pleather pants and nipple shirts.

At least... for awhile.



The lady doth protest too much, if you know what I mean.



Sun Woo's hot French boyfriend presents somewhat of a problem:
IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULDA PUT A RING ON IT.



Oh, there were some other guys at the bakery, too. But they totally had their own unique stories unrelated to slash. Like the bodyguard who... uh... stalked Jin Hyuk and then developed a massive crush on Sun Woo... or the aspiring patissier who lived in Jun Hyuk's house and then developed a massive crush on Sun Woo...



Oh, who am I kidding? It's all about the gay. Gay and cake.


Gay...

And cake!



Gay...


And cake!

And nudity! Unnecessary showers! At one point we watch Jin Hyuk pull on his pants!



He also has deep, disturbing nightmares we should think about very carefully, watching his throat swallow convulsively in sweaty close-ups of slick flesh.

"In order to know cake, you have to live it." LOLOL.



Then they burst into song apropos of nothing.
(God, I love a pimp where I can say that.)



Seriously, are these not the perfect men? They're single, rich, gorgeous, and they can feed you cake.








In short, Antique is one of those rare, beautiful experiences where you can watch men dancing in the rain or glomping in giant clingy bearhugs, and think, this is my canon.

kajdk I feel like Gay and Cake should be a song or something. 'GAY AND CAKE, GAY AND CAKE, THE CAKE IS GOOD BUT THE GAY IS BETTERRRRRRRRR'.

I'll be very surprised if it's not streaming soon, if not already. Maybe you can hunt it down somewhere? YOU MUST SEE IT.

When I watched the previews, and they said "a gay of demonic charm" I knew that this would be my type of movie. Plus cake!
IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULDA PUT A RING ON IT.
I totally had to stifle laughter, as I am at work, and they would probably think I were crazy if I started laughing hysterically for no reason.
Also, are they holding hands and twirling in the rain?! That makes me very happy, for some reason.
March 9 2009, 19:56:34 UTC 3 years ago

Yes, yes they are. Sun Woo does a little catwalk thing in the rain, moisture clinging to his perfect skin and the short peek of manflesh between shirt and pants. Then he pulls the other guy to frolic merrily in the water. It's a very intelligent experience.

So much love and squee for this movie.
I had the subs on for about half the movie because I got tired of pausing to read the korean subs for all the french bits, but they were a bit..off.
They made perfect sense in the context of the scenes, and there was a lot of clever punning about cake, but you may be disappointed to know that the korean dialogue doesn't talk about guys being on their knees. Not that it wasn't implied.
But it was so nice to see how this movie held nothing back in terms of the gay from the manga.
Naked afterglow business proposal and everything.
Kim JaeWook was pretty much the hottest thing ever in this, even if some of this fashion was questionable.
Pit korean movies against their dramas and it's almost contradictory. Television is so uptight and anal, they ban flashy music videos and force dramas to recut kiss scenes because they find it appropriate.
A gay movie nearly topped the box office in the conservative country that drives its gay celebrities to flee the country or commit suicide.
March 9 2009, 20:44:06 UTC 3 years ago
It kills how hypocritical TV networks are, too. BOF is criticized for the occasional brawl but Dog/Wolf is full of murder and violence and bloodthirsty gangsters and it's completely okay!

I loled at the spontaneous song and dance and the bizarre random CG. What amazes me is how well this movie did at the box office back when it came out. #2 for a couple weeks, I think? I remember it easily beat out the new Bond movie. How many rabid shipper fangirls are there in Korea???!

Plenty of gay, though. And a Busby Berkeley-looking song and dance? Really? Obviously part of the gay.
Dude wasn't a stripper in the manga, as I recall. Interesting that they made that change -- is he terrified of women in this movie?
And I am very amused that, given the go-ahead on pimping movies, you first turned to Ghost Theater and Antique. Surreal haunted musical and gay bakery melodrama. I'm almost surprised you couldn't find something that combined all of that. ^_~
March 9 2009, 21:08:38 UTC 3 years ago
Well, if the gay isn't a requirement, you could always Sweeney your Todd. XD
Sun Woo is scared of woman, yeah. Actually I don't think he's a stripper in the traditional sense -- I think he just likes flinging his clothes off for an audience for the fun of it. XD I can't remember the last time I saw such a sexual gay man in an Asian drama. They tend to be repressed and unrequited or determinedly sexless.

God, I can't believe how much like a chick Sun Woo looks in those hipster glasses. The naked is good, though. This is good naked.
OK, so I was totally critical of your thing, kind of, but can I talk just a leetle more about comic books? I finally got to read John Rogers' run on Blue Beetle, or about half of it (issues 7-19 of a 25 issue run)! But I feel a bit broken record-y. As, in fact, comics are all I'm talking about lately. XD That might be why. So yeah, I thought I'd ask permission this time. >.>
March 9 2009, 22:49:02 UTC 3 years ago
Also, the kisses. Those could win anyone over.

I don't even know what the Blue Beetle is, so you'll have to explain that too! XD
