Now that I’m on the topic, there are so many loser male leads played by very charismatic men, so the loser factor isn’t in your face, but Choi Han Kyul was like a GRADE A loser. Down bad for your cousin's girlfriend?

Coffee Prince

Summary

Choi Han Gyul is the grandson of chairwoman Bang of Dong-in Foods, a company that has a thriving coffee business. He has never had a job and does not care for responsibility. Han Gyul is hung up on his first love, Han Yoo Joo, who only sees him as a friend. Go Eun Chan is a 24-year-old tomboy who is often mistaken for a guy. Her father died when she was 16 years old and since then she has taken over as the breadwinner in her family. When Han Gyul and Eun Chan meet, he, not knowing that she is a girl, decides to hire her to pretend to be his gay lover so that he can escape the blind dates arranged by his grandmother. After getting an ultimatum from his grandmother, Han Gyul takes over a rundown old coffee shop, later renamed "Coffee Prince," to prove that he's capable, to both his grandmother and Yoo Joo. In order to attract female customers, he only hires good-looking male employees. Eun Chan, desperate for money, continues to hide her gender to get a job at Coffee Prince

Review

Coffee Prince narrates the story of Choi Han-kyul, a carefree but rebellious young chaebol, whose family runs a prospering coffee business and Go Eun-chan, a hard-working girl, who is often mistaken for a boy because she dresses up like one. What happens when Han-kyul is asked to run an old coffee shop to prove his worth? He is joined in his adventure by Eun-chan, Choi Han-sung, played by Lee Sun-kyun, Han Yoo-joo, played by Chae Jung-an, and the staff at the coffee shop, who add layers of romance, jealousy, confusion, and comedy and brew it well to provide a rich aroma to this coffee.

To be honest, I watched this drama because of Gong Yoo, and he did not disappoint me at all. But at the same time, other characters also made their presence felt. I was moved by the character of Eun-chan, who faces the difficulties that life throws at her with such strength and dedication.

As the bread earner in her family, Eun-chan spends most of her time doing odd jobs and even fakes her identity to secure her job at the coffee shop. But her cheerfulness, innocence, and friendly nature wins everyone’s heart in an instant. Yoon Eun-hye, who portrays the role, lived the character and made it her own. She is convincing as an industrious girl often mistaken for a boy, who has dedicated her life to her work. She does not beat around the bush and is a delight to watch.

On the other hand, we have Gong Yoo. He is an exceptional actor, and after watching him portray a mature character in Goblin, it was a pleasure to watch him as a rebellious, independent entrepreneur who wants to prove his worth to his family. He puts his heart and soul in the character of Han-kyul. One can notice his evolution from a carefree, rich brat to a mature, responsible man as the story progresses. He also adds vulnerability to the character and does not shy away from showing his weaknesses. He works on his emotions with different people around him beautifully.

This drama has the right blend of a simple storyline, soulful OSTs, and remarkable performances that makes it a classic K-drama. Not high on drama, the key to its success lies in its simplicity. It gives off a warm and friendly vibe. The first thought that comes to my mind when I think of Coffee Prince is people sitting in a cozy café, enjoying their favorite coffee with freshly baked cakes, and being engulfed in that old school feeling of simplicity.

Do not expect any extravagance, fantasy, or nerve-wracking episode endings in this drama. There is only the magic of real emotions. Coffee Prince is as refreshing as a cup of hot coffee on any given day. You simply need to enjoy every sip slowly.

Coffee Prince Rewatch 11 years later!

Coffee Prince is one of my, if not my ultimate favorite K-dramas ever!

Since I started 2020 with nostalgia, seeing that it was on Netflix and I am still on semester break I decided to binge it!

Started Late Sunday Night 5th January 2020 and finished this Wednesday afternoon 7th January 2020.

I first watched this series when I was a kid on the Filipino Channel GMA7 and it was Tagalog Dubbed. I did a fact check and on that channel it premiered on New Year’s Day 2008 until March 19 2008. (Which is a nice coincidence to be watching it around the same time!)

All I did for the 3 (but more like 2 days cause I did start at like 11:30pm on Sunday) is binge this INCREDIBLE series! Definitely and experience as now I watched it in Korean and with English Subtitles.

So what changed from my re-watch as a 8 year old kid to now 20? Well nothing really.

I STILL FREAKING LOVE COFFEE PRINCE AS MUCH I HAD OBSESSED WITH IT BACK 11 YEARS AGO!

IT IS STILL FREAKING HILARIOUS. IT STILL MADE ME LAUGH, SHIP THE CHARCTERS AND FEEL THEIR PAIN

(even if they are 2 dumbshits. 2 dumbshits in love. I feel that that’s my witness)

That proves my taste back then is still A+ lmao!

But as an adult, I did learn a lot from this series.

From:

The characters being in their 20s and going on 30

The work and effort on maintaining relationships be it platonic or romantic.

And so much more.

It did and does help for mid life crisis too!

In the middle of watching the series, I realized that damn I do have a specific taste in content. As it has several tropes I freaking love even if they are cheesy. (It’s my guilty pleasure okay!) Like:

Friends to Lovers (or Fremnemies)

Girl pretend to be a Guy (This literally smacked me in the face, when my mind just went like SHE’S THE MAN!)

The 2 are obviously in love and everybody else knows, yet those 2 don’t see that the other loves them back/in denial

Fake Dating (That turns into real dating!)

[I just wished that in the end we actually see Go Eun-chan and Choi Han-kyul get married. Like bruh, you had me sit through all the angst and the “2 years later” and no wedding?!?!?

Do you know how much pain I had to got through and see my 2 babies got through when Han Kyul knew the truth that Eun Chan being a girl? Bruh Episodes (end of) 10 to like 12 when they finally resolve the issue. The whole emotional ride that was just wow

Also I really wanted to know what present Go Eun-chan got for the Grandma lol]
