I finally caved and decided to watch this show. A little late, I know. So far (after 2 episodes), I'm finding the YuJu-HanSung love story more interesting, (she's really pretty!), but that's probably because the main leads haven't made any progress with their relationship. Honestly, I still don't like Yoon Eun Hye any more than I did before. I guess her acting did get better though. Someone on a blog wrote "after watching Coffee Prince, I saw a side of YEH that I had never seen before. And it disgusted me". That's what I was afraid would happen when I started watching it. I'm trying my best to keep an open mind though! I hope this show really does turn out as good as people say.
Yeah, Chae Jung Ahn (YuJu's actress) is considered a natural beauty (media); she was a dance-pop singer in the 90s, and then she transitioned over to acting. Had a good role in Emperor of the Sea, and like a lot of crossover artists, starred in a Lee Kyung Hee (MiSa, SangDo, Time to Kill, Thank You) drama -- Breathless / I'm Running. Which, BTW, was Eric Mun's first drama.I'm finding the YuJu-HanSung love story more interesting, (she's really pretty!),
thanks to all that recommended this show. I normally only watch jdrama as the few kdrama I have tried seem really draggy and over the top. I loved this program and I am now thinking to try another one? Any recommendations for romances that don't involve illness, memory loss etc. I am after something like this that has great characters and the plot keeps moving.
If you are hesitating give this one a go!!!!

Try "time of dog and wolf', it's pretty good. I have to warn you that there are a lot of corny fighting scenes. It does improve as the drama progress. I loved the car chase in ep. 6, it looked so real. It's a pretty fast-paced drama. The ending was pretty decent too. The subs for this series is done too. This is an action/thriller/romance drama.bria333 wrote:thanks to all that recommended this show. I normally only watch jdrama as the few kdrama I have tried seem really draggy and over the top.

But for a straight out romance/comedy, you should try out Dal Ja's spring. It's freaking hilarious and they even make fun of drama cliche.

Alone in Love It's not only my all-time favorite Asian drama, it's the standard by which I judge all other work. The only drama where after every episode I privately thanked the gods for blessing me with a show with such crystalline acting, wit, insight, and filmic detail. And just truth, oh the wisdom of this show. These people could be you or me or your friends. You just know these characters because they are so real.
Alone in Love was an Korean adaptation of a Japanese novel by the late Hisashi Nozawa, who also screenwrote many Japanese dramas in the 90s. That novel The Love Generation (not related to the J-drama) won several prizes for its dramedic look at a divorced couple. It's like watching a 16-episode film, and it's like watching the most perfect fusion of a Korean and Japanese drama. The ratings weren't particularly high, but critics fell in love with it and it became a sort of mania show and it ended up various end-of-year awards.

It was obvious that the story required Han Kyul to be attracted to Eun Chan. What was not obvious to me was the motivation that was presented in the drama series. In the book, it was implied that Han Kyul had homosexual tendencies, which is why he couldn't settle down with a normal girl. Someone butch like Eun Chan would be perfect. But in the drama, it was established that Han Kyul was attracted to Yoo Joo, which made him more or less heterosexual. Perhaps it's too much to expect a Korean drama to tolerate latent homosexuality, but it would have made the story more interesting and believable. For example:queequeg wrote:I agree with Dancer X that Eun Chan was not attractive at all. But maybe that was the point. The more unattractive Eun Chan the more "real" the love would be from Han Kyul. It would be for the inside Eun Chan, not her outside appearance. As he said, he'd love her even if she was an alien. However, they did go a little overboard, IMHO, with what I call the "Ew-Yuck" factor. I mean, really, even though it was funny, would you see someone pick a piece a meat off the floor and eat it and go "Ooo baby, kiss me now!". Or watch someone shove a ladle full of kimchi in her mouth and proceed to talk with her mouth open and go "Isn't she gorgeous?". I felt the same way watching Kim Sam soon. She was nasty and unattractive but the guy loved her anyway. Barring this whole concept of "inside beauty" I did find myself looking for some reason why a guy would find Eun Chan attractive and besides being hard-working and cheerful couldn't find anything. Again, maybe if they had just made her a less disgusting eater I would have reacted better. So, I just went with the concept and stopped looking and just enjoyed.Dancer X wrote:
I really dug Coffee Prince for it's witty dialogue and strong ensemble performance, but I felt that there were some flaws. Please feel free to comment on my criticisms:
POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!
1) Did any other guy find the Eun Chan character unattractive? I mean, she was cute in a boyish way, but I don't really get any full blooded heterosexual guy actually wanting to kiss her while she is in boy mode (or do more). I do realize that this is a drama written by a woman for a female audience, so maybe Eun Chan is the kind of character a woman thinks a guy would want, rather than the kind of woman a guy would actually want?
It was the By Land And Sky daily drama. KBS daily dramas are usually very popular (something for the teens, something for the ajuhmmas), and By Land and Sky has been coasting at 30-ish ratings. The only shows that have been regularly beaten By Land and Sky this year were (of course) Jumong and Money's Warfare.
By Land and Sky is pretty good, and it's just ended its run in Korea. I think I've been watching this show for like 6-7 straight months on KBS America, and we got probably another 2-3 months before it finishes. Park Hae Jin is the next Hyun Bin.
Coffee Prince is the top performing MBC trendy drama this year. (The Legend doesn't count. ) Overall, it's 3rd so far, behind Money's Warfare and another SBS soap.

I am a newbie in this forum...
I have to say that this Kseries is probably one of the best ever...
Every episode is so worth watching
I was surprised that there is no boring episode in this drama...You know unlike other series wherein it tends to be boring in the middle
I love the chemistry between Eun Hye and Gong Yoo

because of the copyright and stuff
I don't think they let people hardsub them either for that matter Dx
so your best choice is to just download the raw
and the subtitle. and play them in gom or something

Havent watched a kdrama in forever, but after i saw alot of people which coffee prince as their sig. or avatar i decided to see what all the fuss was about, And i'm proud to say i'm happy did. I agree this drama does have something unique that all the other dramas dont have. Yoon Eun-hye didnt seem very attractive in this drama, but that's what made me want to watch it even more. It seemed more real that way, cause we gotta admit life isnt all about a sexy lead guy and a gorgeous lead girl falling for eachother, But seriously when i first went to drama wiki to look the drama up, i saw the drama poster and i thought the drama was gonna be about 3 guys and a girl. I had NOOO clue Yoon Eun-hye was even in this drama until i looked at the cast and realized in the drama poster one of the 3 guys was really a girl =).
First drama i've ever watch Gong Yoo in and I gotta say he has adorable facial expressions.
--->&For some reason this drama makes me think of my lovely kim sam soon and hana kimi put together.

Hey there...I'm new here and I adore CP. I do have a question...anyone here have a caption of all the kiss moments---paticularly when Kyul still thought Eun Chan was still a boy. I find those to be the most interesting. Oh and the moment when he imagines her in the wedding gown. Just wanted to know if anyone has any moving screen caps/icons/sigs.
Oh, has anyone heard any confirmation on CP-2 or might it be called CPrincess? I'm just asking since I read few interviews talking about that, even though I know Gong Yoo will have to sign up for military service.

I finally finished this drama!! And loved it. The first drama to actually live up to my expectations. Did anyone else feel like the end was sort of a Dal Ja's Spring parody? It wasn't that they made fun of it, but Sun Ki and the grandmother are both pretty much known for their roles in DJS and at the end they just had to put in that Japanese-speaking girl (what was her name again?) Her character's only purpose was to make Sun Ki live happily ever after, but did they really have to use that actress? Because other than that, she was a really random character. Now that I think about it, the whole Coffee Prince drama reminded me of Dal Ja's Spring, which is one of my favorite dramas. Maybe because they're both just so......sweet.
Anyways, I'm really glad I decided to watch this show after all.

coffee prince is finally getting recognition in japan!
When I came to japan I was surprised to find so many korean dramas being shown on tv and they have all these magazines dedicated to korean dramas and actors and stuff so ever scince I started watching coffee prince ive also been checking out the magazines waiting for some word about coffee prince to finally reach them and it has. 20 page articles and all!!! Just wish I could read them without having to sit down with my kanji dictionary and my normal dictionary and take about 5 hours to read one page

As of now, the only drama I would quote as "life altering"...(and I saw many many dramas )
I can just bow my head to YEH and GY for the work they did. It was so refreshing and new, I enjoyed every bit of it
Everything was well done, from the character's personalities to the moving love story.
Damn, just speaking of it, I feel like watching it again!

CP was popular enough so that MBC opened up a Coffee Prince coffee shop. ;) (Great idea BTW. Though in the States coffee princes only like other coffee princes . . . )WAs CP really popular over there?
http://www.dramabeans.com/2007/10/birth ... afe-opens/
Korea being trendy as they are, CP's also made the "Eun Chan cut" (okay, I made that up, but it's a boyish bob) more popular.
Coffee Prince is the most popular MBC trendy drama this year. Overall its ratings finish behind Jumong and The Legend for MBC, and its ratings were also higher than Goong. Ratings don't tell the whole story though, as CP (like Goong) was also very popular on the Internet.
But, really the big thing is that I think CP is the first "retooled" rom-com to really click in the ratings. If you look at the overall MBC rom-com list the past 2 years -- Soulmate, 9 Ends, Que Sera Sera, Coffee Prince-- you can kinda see how MBC's trying move the cutesy rom-com formula into a more Western-styled "dramedy." Diverse soundtrack, hipper characters, more realistic/sophisticated approach to relationships, more liberal attitude toward marraige and sex, less screwball more irony.
I have just finished this drama. I find that Eun Chan (YEH) is more beautiful without makeup. I dont agree that no man will fall for a girl like Eun Chan. As a man, I find that Tomboy girl like her is very attractive! Interesting personalitybelleza wrote:DancerX -- if you use [ SPOILER ] tags around the text, it'll keep it hidden. It's good for people who are kinda scanning through the pages without looking carefully.
It's funny that you mention that, because I actually think YEH's look right now is the best she's ever looked. Her hair is a little longer, but fashionably short and permed, and it helps play up her high cheek structure. Eun Hye has never been considered conventionally beautiful, but men like her due to her "young girl warrior" charisma.1) Did any other guy find the Eun Chan character unattractive? I mean, she was cute in a boyish way, but I don't really get any full blooded heterosexual guy actually wanting to kiss her while she is in boy mode (or do more).
I haven't made up my mind about how I see YEH and Eun Chan. Most actors and actresses, there's always one or two roles that you kinda see their other performances through. Eun Chan is such a singular performance for her, the degree in which YEH disappears into this role, the way she even breathes as her emotions go up, was so different that I don't see "Eun Chan"-ness in her public appearances (i.e. X-man) or her performance in either Goong or Vineyard Man. It's a defining role and yet it isn't.
The story itself pointedly underlines that, by and large, men really don't find Eun Chan attractive. The story kinda suggests that Han Gyul has difficulties relating to women intimately, whereas he's unusually attached to his male friendships. Han Sung was a bit different; even though they would make jokes about it, he was still working through his anger and other issues with Yoo Joo -- happy but not completely happy that they had reconciled. He really enjoyed his simple, innocent friendship with Eun Chan, and the fact that she unabashedly adored him. Tempting fruit, so to speak.
[/spoiler]
Haven't posted here on this site in a long time! (Points to outdated sig. banner) People in my Korean class love this show so I decided to download it. I haven't found an interesting drama in a while (last one I watched entirely was Snow Queen, I think, but I haven't really been actively searching for a new show to watch), so I decided to pick up the habit again with this one. Only saw 2.5 eps yet, as I'm pacing myself. I'm still waiting on additional episodes through BT... CB hasn't been dling anything lately for me. So far, it's really funny and awesome.
I now have more time now as all the pressing deadlines are over for me and I'm graduating (getting a masters took some work, I'm not returning for a phd! at least for now), so now I can watch more dramas guilt-free! Any recommendations for one who is enjoying Coffee Prince?

hahaha!! gotcha! American love stories are sure romantic but sometimes can be way too cheesy which is the total opposite of japanese doramas for they LACK the those kind of moments [ and i think they would rather promote story plots of friendship and bonding]. With Korean dramas, it is simply great! Apparently, i wish all the boys in the world would be like those male lead actors who care to their leading ladies like that and do such sweet things like what we have seen on their dramas.......... haaaaaaaayyyyyy....NanaTorigawa wrote: i know after u get thru the boring begiing the rest is so cute...

Going back, im currently watching this drama simultaneous with Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, so sometimes i got this hangover of pretending to a boy sometimes.... LOL the disease is attacking!!!
I would say, try "Thank You" and "Que Sera Sera", though the latter is surely not so light as CP. For some action and suspense "Time Between Dog And Wolf".onoturtle wrote:Haven't posted here on this site in a long time!

Just finished this drama. Yeh and the male lead actor (dont remember the name) are so cute.. .specially at the last episodes. At last a happy light ending in a kdrama =) The ending was kinda too open .... or maybe i just want to hear more "i love you" from yeh ... dont know
Btw any recomendations for my next kdrama ? I am Sam and Coffe Prince are the top 2 in my favorite kdrama list.

Some recs:Btw any recommendations for my next kdrama ? I am Sam and coffee Prince are the top 2 in my favorite kdrama list.
Soulmate It's more of a true sitcom but it's also sophisticated/subversive in its treatment of male/female relations. Plus, if the Coffee Prince tunes were a highlight, Soulmate used a very eclectic use of soundtrack tunes (i.e. hipster playlist mashup of Pitchfork and Jpopmusic) Many people have said that if you like CP, you'll love Soulmate.
Capital Scandal From the same novelist of Coffee Prince. Honestly, they're so different than I couldn't pick up any similarities whatsoever, but it's worth watching in its own right. Probably my favorite male performance this year.
Hello My Teacher If you like Gong Yoo and I Am Sam, you may want to give this one a shot.
Old clips of Yoon Eun Hye on Xman Some of Eun Chan's exploits (i.e. carrying Gong Yoo on her back) riff off her "Young Girl Warrior" persona from the old Xman show. If you look around, there's a clip where she wrestles 3 different opponents in a row, including the biggest guy on the show. Of course, if you haven't seen Goong, that should be the first go.
Time of Dog and Wolf During much of summer, MBC had programmed Coffee Prince on Mon/Tues slot, and then Time of Dog and Wolf in their Wed/Thursday. This was intentional, since both shows had hip, young casts with very hot leads (YEH and Lee Jung Ki) trying to branch out a bit outside their current images. I watched both shows together, and they perfectly complemented each other. If you just finished CP, TDW may be worth watching as a "contrast" show.
Thnks for the recs.
I've seen all the xman vids posted by coolsmurf on youtube =D Eun Hye and KJK were so cute, just like in CP
I am dling the first episodes of Hello My Teacher and Palace atm .... heard good comments about them but wasnt sure about the first cause I didnt like the woman lead...
Back to the topic:
There are some parts in CP that i think they overdone it... or just i didnt understand ....
For example why did they started crying like that in the weeding when grandma fainted... i mean... they started crying as if she died or something...
And about the ending... it was kinda odd not to see Chan / Yeh shed a single tear... i mean she used to cry just seeing him and after being more than 2 years apart .... i was expecting something more emotional T_T

Given its popularity, I actually think Goong is a little underrated. Most people can't get past the idol-ish actor casting without appreciating how successfully it blended the intrigue and pomp+circumstance of sageuk, the Charles+Diana tabloid fantasy of the 20th century royal family, and the K-pop celebrity machine. It's a fusion show without the self-conscious irony associated with the genre.I am dling the first episodes of Hello My Teacher and Palace atm .... heard good comments about them but wasnt sure about the first cause I didnt like the woman lead...
I liked Eun Hye's acting potential in Goong without actually liking the acting itself. For me, her character was grating - it just felt really off compared to the rest of the show. But Eun Hye's talent for mannerisms rivals Takuya Kimura -- she has facial tics and quietly eccentric gestures for just about everything. It's this talent for physical acting that made her really, really suited for Coffee Prince. She took it down a notch, and made you see only a girlboy thing..
I think Han Kyul visited her periodically during those 2 years. They had a fairly normal long distance relationship.And about the ending... it was kinda odd not to see Chan / Yeh shed a single tear... i mean she used to cry just seeing him and after being more than 2 years apart .... i was expecting something more emotional T_T
I actually thought they were crying due to getting married itself. The writing for the 2nd relationship kinda drops off after Episode 12 (though I liked their romantic chemistry more than Gong Yoo/YEH.) There's a few scenes where the emotions doesn't seem to play right.For example why did they started crying like that in the weeding when grandma fainted... i mean... they started crying as if she died or something..
Also, the actress Chae Jung Ahn was coming out of a divorce (the marriage was purported to be abusive) before she signed onto Coffee Prince. So, not only was this a comeback project for her, but some of her acting may be informed by her own experiences with marriage.
