My favorite non horror movie Ever
I love this movie. It handles the subjects of past abuse and their effects super well. I like the way they handled the LGBTQ+ stuff even if the owner of the shop came off as a bigot in the beginning it smoothed out nicely over the course of the film. I loved how the past victim saved the kid from a serial killer. I was not going to lie disappointed that his own kidnapper never truly faced justice but I did love that he was able to move on from it and embrass live in his own way with his found family. I loved all the subplots and the random musical bits that should have been out of place but weren't. The bromance or onesided attraction between the leads was sweet and realistic honestly. Our poor shop owner didn't even feel comfortable doing it with women after his childhood of course he'd cringe when his friend swooped in to take his prize but the chief was a gentalmen and it was sad how hurt he seemed by it. But I digress I have watched this movie 5 times already on Viki. I love it. I love a movie that doesn't have to in end sex and family to end happy with the characters in a good place. I better stop here or I'll just babble for days. Totally rewatchable totally recommended. Go see this its on VikiWas this review helpful to you?
Story is really great. It's unique. It's funny, cute, mystery, romance all in one movie ! And it has CAKE ! Who hates cake ???? Well I do think the story is too fast but still I enjoy my time watching this and I think I understand all of the story. Also I think the ending is good.
I love the cast and I think they're really good at acting ! Good job :D
I'm not really someone who rewatch stuff so yeah I think it's still something I may rewatch in the future :D
Overall I really enjoy this movie. And don't dislike this because you sense some 'gay' romance because it's really worth watching ! Everyone should give it a try ! :D

The story is interesting but the execution is poor. Following the plot and watching the movie sometimes turns very hard because transitions are confusing and a lot is left unexplained. The characters also always seem to be in a rush and talk very fast. It's kinda like watching a full length movie in fast forward.

Esse começou sendo apenas mais um da minha série "conhecendo os trabalhos de Kim Jaewook", mas acabei me apaixonando mais pela história que pela atuação dele, adoro quando isso acontece!
O plot é bem bonitinho: Kim Jinhyeok abre uma loja de bolos pra poder ver garotas todos os dias (boa desculpa hein) e acaba contratando Min Seonwoo, um garoto que gostava dele no ensino médio, como chefe. No início fala um pouco sobre a história individual deles e logo em seguida os dois outros funcionários são apresentados, completando assim o pacote de "homens bonitos" da loja de bolos Antique. O legal do filme é que ele dá espaço para a história pessoal de todos os personagens, não fica só nos dois principais, os quatro tem seu tempinho pra brilhar e falar sobre seus traumas. O modo como a narrativa flui também é interessante, as coisas não se arrastam, elas acontecem de forma bem rápida sem muita enrolação. Alguns podem achar isso um ponto ruim, mas pra mim foi muito bom! Apesar de tudo ocorrer rápido, as informações são bastante claras e a história se torna completa no final, não senti em nenhum momento que faltava alguma informação.
Da segunda metade do filme para o final as coisas ficam mais tensas, por conta da história de um dos personagens, mas a conclusão me deixou bastante contente. Gostaria de poder ver um pouco mais dessa história, o final ficou bem aberto e deixou minha imaginação fértil cheia de curiosidade! Felizmente descobri que existe um drama japonês (o filme foi baseado nele e num mangá, pelo que eu li) um pouquinho mais antigo que eu com certeza vou dar uma olhada!
