as much as i enjoy coffee prince, i'll agree that the main actress is not amazing. the only thing she really had going for her in coffee prince is that she did manage to look/act more like a boy (even when she was not pretending to be a boy, she had very tom-boyish mannerisms) than most actresses who are supposed to look/act like boys. she was worlds better than the girls from the hanakimi shows. but she still wasn't jaw-dropping amazing. i guess thats an improvement over her acting in goong. she was numbingly boring in goong so i guess any kind of improvement is a good thing.

i'll admit it. for me, coffee prince was all about the princes...they were hysterical and sweet and nice to look at ^_^ yep, i like if for shallow shallow reasons

Yoon Eun Hye's acting is very good in Coffee Prince. Unlike in Hanakimi (J-version) where you wonder how anyone could possibly mistake Horikita Maki for a boy, Yoon Eun Hye plays the tomboy very convincingly. Her body language is completely that of a boy. She also talks, walks, eats and sits like a boy. Even that time when Han Sung made her dress more femininely, she managed to still act like a boy, making it obvious that she would never be completely feminine. Very well done.

I hated her in Goong, but she did her homework for Coffee Prince and finally gave us a convincing gender-bender heroine. Another thing worth pointing out (also noticed by javabeans): I think a lot of other Korean actresses would have been way too vain to play the role of Eun Chan. The script writer made her do things as Eun Chan that didn't make her look very attractive (eating disgustingly, crying and smearing her make-up, walking without a hint of feminine grace), but she did them anyway for the sake of the drama.

I get that. In Coffee Prince, too, they often jokingly ask Eun Chan if she is a girl.

The thing with Yoon Eun Hye is, though, that she actually makes me wonder if she is a girl or a boy, because she nails the mannerism so perfectly. She actually manages to confuse me a little. When I look at Maki, there's not a shred of doubt in my mind that she's a girl, so the gender-bender thing doesn't work for me.

its not that she's supposed to be mistaken as a girl a lot...its the fact that she doesn't remotely in any way shape or form resemble or act like a boy. not even a pretty boy. she looks like a girl in every way possible. she practically has "I'm a girl" tattooed on her forehead. it makes you feel like the guys in hana kimi are complete idiots for not noticing at all.

i kind of liken hanakimi to superman. the boys uniform is clark kent's glasses. how can they not just tell that clark is superman with glasses? if it walks like a chicken, talks like a chicken and looks like a chicken wearing glasses...its a chicken, i tell ya!! a giant chicken!

in coffee prince, its a tomboy girl who gets mistaken for a guy...not a girlygirl trying desperately to pass as a guy. its possible that in the manga, she's not such a girlygirl, but in the drama, she comes off as a total girlygirl.

I loved Coffee Prince! I thought it was so simple but cute. Gong Yoo was HOT! and Yoon Eun Hye really shocked me with her acting and looks compared to her Baby V.O.X. and Goong days. So obviously it isn't in my worst Kdrama list.

1) Exhibition of Fireworks
2) Hello Miss
3) Winter Sonata

I actually loved Goong (except for the adults' parts). Goong S didn't really cut it for me but it was very funny. So I decided not to put Goong S in my top hated Kdramas list.

As far as i can see reading, this is it a thread to give vent to your pet pev and diislike [and in some cases plain hate, witch is a little disturbing]
For every one someone dislikes, there ten that do and so forth.
There alway Something to like about any drama, if only the lead, or music and so forth.
It depend on what type of drama you like..comedy, light drama tear jerkers
There simply too many variance in what someone can like that it really pointless
As i say it it mainly to give vent to ones dislikes than anything that can be taken seriously.
