Love this drama!

Was my first K-Drama and never regretted it! And still my all time fav!
A well told story and with the right mixture of cry-fest and funny-fest moments!

The Cast was so lovable and especially our two leads!

I, at one point, really go too fond of Yoon Eun Hye, and that I didn't care if she was a boy or not! Mr. Green

She stole my heart quite some times in that drama!

Crying

They deserve very award there is! cheers

Currently rewatching this series with my cousin so just wanted to say something about it a year later.

After reading most of the thorough discussion about the story, I agree. Coffee Prince offers so much to the viewer. It is definitely unique in portraying relationships. Not those sappy, overdramatic and unrealistic tone that most Korean dramas have, but instead we see scenes that are portrayed in a very realistic manner. It took its time to build up the "gender contradiction, lovelorn feelings".

Adding to the superb storyline are the top notch acting. I wasn't a fan of the actress Yoon Eun Hye (but was a fan of the Korean girl group Babyvox and she was my favorite baby looking in that group) before this. Sorry to say, but I swear Goong is by far one of those overrated dramas. I cannot find any reason in that drama to like besides it coming from one of my favorite manhwas and the setting. All of the actors suck (I've probably denounced all the hype about Goong drama in other threads so many times) in acting and were annoying. Yoon Eun Hye was the worst and I really wanted to forgive her by watching her next drama, The Vineyard Man, and yet another disappointment.

I was about to stop getting my hopes up for Eun Yoon Hye dramas until I was attracted to the storyline of Coffee Prince. At that time, Hanakimi was also showing and since I'm a big fan of gender bending mangas, I tried Coffee Prince. What I found was not another wannabe cute girl image, but a real actress improving and knowing her own weaknesses to be able to portray a character like Eun Chan. Though she's still not considered the best actress on my list, she has by far gone up notches. My fate for her has revived and I congratulate her for all the awards she has won or will be winning in the future.

In another note, seriously those who rate Goong as number 1 in their list, how many Kdramas have you seen? There are far better ones out there. Most probably only started watching Korean dramas because they heard Goong Live Action was showing. I was one of those hopefuls, being a big fan of the manhwa, who expected the romantic comedy scenes between Shin Chae-Gyeong and Yi Shin. I knew that Korean actors were the best at portraying love (mushy) scenes genuinely. Yet what I got from Goong was a learning show on how to act emotionless, how to be stiff and "how to be annoying as you can get". As I've said before, Goong == Meteor Garden of Korea. Though the actors look good, for the life of God, they can't act.

Back to Coffee Prince, those who detest Goong as well, I highly recommend this because it will revive your love for Eun Yoon Hye or for Korean dramas overall. To add to that is the max addiction to getting more dramas that stars Gong Yoo aka the adorable Han Kyul. Everything about Coffee Prince is just perfect like listening to the OST can make you remember all the touching moments in the drama. Though the ending could have been better, at least it didn't get sappy/tragic as other dramas.
