Coffee Prince.
Posted on February 2, 2008 by admin7 Comments
Synopsis: As the head of a poor family, the lively and independent Eun-chan has worked at just about every job there is. She is hired to work at a coffee shop by Han-gyeol who mistakes her for a male and asks her to pose as his boyfriend. A relationship begins between Han-gyeol, who pretends to act as a homosexual to scare off the blind dates arranged by his grandmother, and Eun-chan, who needs to hide her gender to make money.
At his grandmother’s request, Han-gyeol has taken charge of the failing Coffee Prince. He re-opens the shop together with a few “princes” including Eun-chan and builds a partnership and friendship with them. In this process, Han-gyeol finds himself drawn to Eun-chan, and this “homosexual” attraction confuses him.
I just got hooked with this koreanovela a few weeks back. I mentioned not so long ago in my other blog that I no longer watch TV at night as telenovelas don’t appeal to me anymore. Then I chanced upon Coffee Prince on channel 7 one night and as they say, the rest is history. I am now glued to the TV every weeknight to watch it. But I am so impatient and I’m sure GMA’s gonna stretch this as long as possible, so I got the DVD this afternoon. I’m excited.
