Hello.. i don't watch K-doramas much but i'm watching this....
I have seen 12 episodes in almost 24 hours...
I wan tot finish it tonight... i'm on episode 14 now...
I really like this... i feel bad for everyone too...
i still like Japanese dramas better because i liek love stories liek that...
but alittle Korean love stories is good.;.. make you feel love is easier then you think and more open...
But a common theme is not telling the whole story to the one you love and are fighting with... <Common theme in Asian dramas...
Well i will comment again when i finish watch it...

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....
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!!!

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 (Points to outdated sig.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?
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".

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.
Hidden:
About the baby... i noticed Han Sung (no idea the actress name) a bit too strange when she found out she had a baby... maybe there was something else?

Some recs:
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 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.

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.
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.

ya as you say there are some confusing scenes... still a great drama.
I had the impression that Yeh was like the "man" in the relationship at the end...
EDIT: Watching last episodes of Gong =D Kinda slow compared to CP but Yeh is still as lovely as ever
