MasterChef meets Rocky (or any other sports drama). A melange of bizarre colours and flavours, Sikkaek is about food and everything that it can symbolise (and not only for South Koreans). The blend of drama rooted in the distant past, touching romance, slapstick and thriller is not entirely harmonious and, for example, the protagonist’s deeply felt relationship with his cow would be easier to accept in this form as another story in Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex*. But my tastebuds, stimulated by the visual delicacies served to me, force me to consider two things: show greater leniency in my rating and try something from Korean cuisine. 65%

Korean movies about food have always got something. They manage to weave the atmosphere of cooking and life together perfectly. While I don't eat meat, I believe many will drool when they watch this. But I had much more trouble with Antique. The plot is well thought out and quite engaging, so there's no time for boredom. The atmosphere is perfectly complemented by the music and the setting. The presence of Ha-na Lee made me happy. 4 stars.
