Year: 2008
Plot: “Jin-hyeok opens a cake shop in an old antique shop, hiring Seon-woo, Korea's best pastry chef, who fell in love with him in high school. Also there, are Su-yeong, crushing on Seon-woo, ex-boxer Ki-beom, and Seon-woo's French ex-boyfriend.”
I simply had to watch this one when I seen this on the site LetMeWatchThis. I figured a Korean Gay Comedy wouldn’t be too much of a waste of time. It turns out that I was right. I absolutely loved this movie. Oh, and I haven’t read the comic it is based on or anything.
It is always seems strange to me when I find a comedy that I enjoy. I usually find comedies stupid, but maybe that is just the American ones. I absolutely found this movie genuinely funny. I still can’t get over Su-yeong. I think he was about the funniest person in this movie.
I thought they did a good job bringing all of the characters history into this movie. You got a little piece of everyone’s story, and that really helped to understand them better. It is sad what Jin-hyeok did to Su-yeong when they were in school, but it really wasn’t done on purpose. At first you look at it and think of him as a horrible person, but by the end of the movie you realize that he would have never done that if something hadn’t happened just moments before. Of course I won’t tell you what happened, that’s for you to see for yourself.
I think Su-yeong is my favorite character in the whole movie, and it’s not just because he is the gay guy, or cause he is pretty. I just felt bad for him, especially with his ex-boyfriend, now there’s someone who deserved worse than he got. Nothing may have happened between any of the shop employee (though between the two would have been nice), it seems Su-yeong was happy just working there, which is cute.
The mystery taking place behind the cute comedy front was a very nice touch. It really did give this movie something to keep everything in balance. This movie might not have done so well without such an intriguing story. I found the ending rather interesting though. I had expected it to end a little different, but it wasn’t bad the way it happened either. I am sure you will understand me if you watch the movie. n.n
This is definitely a movie I have to own. It has a great balance of an intriguing mystery, and light-hearted humor. Parts of this movie though may be a little off-putting to homophobes, for those who don’t mind, it is very cute. n.n This is definitely one to check out.
