Although Tachibana was rescued, his abductor was never found. The one thing he remembers about his abductor is that he loved cake and fed him the cakes he bought every single day.

Voiced by: Kōichi Yamadera (drama CD), Keiji Fujiwara (anime), Asami Sanada (anime, young) The owner of the Antique Bakery, as well as a waiter. There are things said and many more things (intentionally) left unsaid. I think this very factor is what makes Antique a very Korean film.
Just like the undertones of a complex food dish, the visuals and the first taste is apparent, but it's the subtle undertones of flavour that get you thinking.
#YOUTUBE ANTIQUE BAKERY KOREAN MOVIE MOVIE#
If you think of it lightly, it's an entertaining film about a bunch of guys in 2000s fashion running a bakery.īut if you really give it some thought, there are some pretty dark and bittersweet undertones that this movie intentionally does not explicitly elaborate on. If you watch it lightly, it's a very lighthearted film you can watch over dinner.īut if you stop and think about the plot and the characters, I guarantee you 100% you will go back and re-watch segments of it almost immediately. What's brilliant about Antique is that it is what you make of it: I watch it once every few years and it still keeps me very entertained. This movie has been one of the most memorable Korean films for me.
