Love, love, love the Korean film. To pieces. I’ve probably watched it at least 20 times, and whenever I have friends over, (even friends who turn tail the second they get a sniff of anime), I’m like WATCH THIS and they love it too. My little brother loves it. You just can’t resist the film adaption.

That said, I love the manga even more. The ending always gives me shivers…

And I know most people like to piss over the anime adaption, but I actually didn’t mind it that much. (Though I’ll admit that at least a quarter of the reason I watched it was because of the opening and ending. Chemistry is a fave band of mine.)

I watched the movie some time ago and then read the manga. The movie is fantastic but if you have a little trouble understanding some of the plot twists, reading the manga will clear that up. Plus, its just a really fun read that will leave you smiling. 5 stars to both!

I LOVE THE MOVIE! First, I watched it only cause Kim Jae Wook was there. But then, watching the movie, I really liked how they made the storyline rapid and so they used quick cuts and close ups and musical numbers rather than just a music-video-seemlike in the middle of the movie. It’s great, really a good film to watch.

Careful, Levlie…you don’t want to spoil the fun for Antique newbies.

To answer your question in as vague a way as possible, no, old man bad guy =/= young man bad guy with blood on his face. It was coincidence. Because life is full of insane coincidences…which is sort of the point of Antique Bakery.

Hey. I’ve seen the movie, just yesterday actually. It’s so hilarious and it’s true, the directional style is quite good. Also I think that the effects are great too.
Only thing is, I don’t get the ending. (this maybe mostly because I’ve never read the manga) Is **SPOILER CUT BY MOD** I’m still confuuused.

Wow, there’s a much more Clark Kent/Superman-level disconnect between Ono’s appearance with and without glasses in that video from the anime. Of course, it probably helps that he’s chibified (or the rather trapezoidal-faced Yoshinaga equivalent thereof) in most of the scenes where he’s wearing glasses…
