I put off watching this series for some time but was pleasantly surprised that it aged so well. It has some strong female characters and despite the usual over the top slapstick scenes (which no korean drama seems to be able to do without) some serious topics were handled quite well. The chemistry between the two couples is really great, and they all are very likable, although we are sometimes frustrated by each of them. But that's life, all of us are stupid from time to time.

It is very sad, though, to watch the brilliant Lee Sun-kyun in this role, knowing the he felt forced to end his life so early due to restrictive society rules. What a gifted actor and beautiful person! Hope he is in a happier place now.

A young girl with the responsibility of looking after her mum and younger sister pretends to be male in order to get a job at a coffee shop. Entertaining story with a good message in the fact that gender is irrelevant and love is love. Well acted series with a look at the romantic stories of all the people in the coffee shop and family members and the different experiences they have in the pursuit of what they believe is love.

I didn't want this series to end. I binged it. If this is a novel, it's a 'page turner', it is a movie so I gave it Two Thumbs up. The players were well picked and kudos the Casting Director. We can identify with their characters, which are so real to life, who hasn't loved and lost our first love... the pain, heartbreaks, laughter and joy are so close to us. This is a must watch for K-movie fabs. Trust me, you're a romantic, you'll enjoy it. Have fun.

COFFEE PRINCE (2007) was one of the first K-dramas I ever watched, quite a few years ago now. It is a very entertaining rom-com, but as light as it may seem, it also has a lot of heavy-heavy feels going on. The premise is fun and entertaining and yet very moving. The characters are all interesting and well-casted. I absolutely loved the main character, a tomboy heroine named Go Eun-chan. She was so lovable, relatable and interesting. Although a bit slow at times, this show was an unforgettable watch. Super cute. No regrets.

Overall, it was worth the watch.

I found the first few few episodes annoying.. BUT after the 5th episode, I got hooked.. It is so beautiful, the chemistry between the two main leads is amazing.. Love is love, it has no boundaries.. Watch it.
