This movie is based on a manga, and was also turned into an anime series (which I just couldn't bother to watch, as I didn't like the drawings).
It's about a rich parents' guy who resign from his top-noch job to open a deluxe bakery. He actually hate sweets and, from the beginning, we suspect that his running a sweet shop has something to do with his kidnapping when he was a child, which he forgot about. He recruits a very good gay baker, both very good at baking and very good at being gay, and a apprentice. They're joined later on by a slow and naive chilhood friend of the owner, and the four men go on running the bakery.
Of course, the point of the whole thing is for the owner to understand what happened when he was a child and find his kidnapper, so the ads-up (Son Woo's being in love with the owner, the apprentice's issue about boxing, the terrifying dim-wits attitude of Chirose) are not solved at the end of it.
Here's what wiki-wiki has to say to the respect:It's about a rich parents' guy who resign from his top-noch job to open a deluxe bakery.

"The Korean adaptation was released on November 13, 2008, and drew more than 1 million moviegoers within its first two weeks of release, making it one of the most successful Korean movies ever made. Directed by Min Gyu Dong, the movie stars (amongst others) Joo Ji Hoon (Goong/Princess Hours and The Devil) as the owner Jin Hyuk and Kim Jae Wook (Coffee Prince) as the genius patissier Son Woo. The film was exhibited at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2009. The action in the film has been transposed to Korea and the characters given Korean names; otherwise, the script follows the main plot threads of the manga closely."

I didn't enjoy the story that much, even though the main character's intentions by opening Antique were very interesting, and that I looked forward the outcome of it all. On the very right side, most of the actors are GORGEOUS, especially Son Woo and the owner, which made me an happy fangirl. So, basically, I watched it because of cute asian guys. And cakes. Cute asian guys and cakes. Sweet.
