The! Tragedy! This drama has an angst filled plot that leaves you SCREAMING at your computer screen. There are so many issues that could be solved if the main character (who is a marvelous actor so this isn't meant against him) would stop being an arrogant a-word. Drama, I loved you. You had all the potential to be one of the best if you weren't such a saddist. My advice, don't watch this if you've got a weak heart.
Forget what you know about old manga's/anime's being made into movies. We all know that nothing is quite as good, but this movie breaks the status quo. This movie is quickly paced, an 'easy watch' so to say, has sort of a "dark humor" vibe to it, but is definitely brain food. Leaves you questioning most of the time, and when you think you've got it figured out... I'll leave it to you. Another Gantz sums the end up better for viewers, but leaves out some of the most crucial parts of the story line. I suggest you watch this version of Gantz, then just watch the last 11 minutes of Another Gantz. Besides, Anything with Kazunari Ninomiya is worth your while.
Although this movie lacks a pull forward plot line and drags to almost a crawl at the end, it was worth watching. It wasn't an award winning film and wasn't the worst film.
Regardless of the previous reviews, I'm going to go all out on this one. Firstly, the story: It isn't a deep-meaning or soul-searching drama so if you're looking for that: this isn't one for you. This has a light-hearted feel to it, nothing too serious or too emotional but memorable nonetheless. Breezy, even though the angsty-like plot lines get a little old; they help carry this drama and also leave a deeper impression on you. The cast is made up of amazing actors and I really feel that Kim Jae Won fits his role perfect. Main pairing is too cute for words, but it's hard to just pick one guy in this drama (for me atleast). :) Soundtrack is one of the best of it's time, definitely worth checking out.
Kim Jae Wook as an unimaginable hot gay guy? Count me in! This movie is not your average 'cake shop' drama & I think that's why I fell so in love with it. It's super comedic but it's also got a serious plot line but it doesn't pull too far away from our original funny story. If you up for quirky, fun humor with an excellent pace & a super good looking cast, Antique Bakery is definitely worth checking out!
This drama isn't very original, but that isn't what matters here - what matters is the chemistry between the main couple. They're both lovable right off bat & with two compromising personalities you're definitely in for a fun, speedy, enjoyable - - not original - - watch. The soundtrack also corresponds perfectly with the theme & situations. One of my favorites so far in 2011!
