I finally watched this old gem of a drama! I now understand why it is so well-known and loved by k-drama fans. A rom-com filled with scenes that could either make you roll on the floor laughing or reaching out for tissues. I also love the fact that this drama deals with social issues that are still relevant, such as homosexuality, gender roles, etc. The acting is fantastic- in fact this is the third drama to bring me to the brink of tears (Can you guess which drama made me cry first?) Our leading couple are the cutest! I couldn't get enough of them. Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is loud, stubborn, independent, and hard-working. A very focused person since she doesn't get swayed too easy from her principles and goals. An almost typical heroine except for her sensitive nature and HUGE APPETITE! Overall, I think the actress performed fantastically! I totally adore Go Eun Chan! Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is passionate and kind-hearted- I think he is one of my favorite leading male characters. He is full of surprises! Just as one of the characters mentioned, He looks all cool and arrogant on the outside but he really is an adorable, awkward teddy-bear on the inside. He reminds me of Shang from the Disney movie Mulan. (Oh my god, he and Go Eun Chan are the k-drama version of Shang and Mulan) Anyways... The artsy supporting couple are so lovable. I'm envious of Choi Han Seong and Han Yoo Joo's relationship- that is how brilliant their acting was. Personally, I love Han Yoo Joo since I can relate to her 90% of the time and she knows how to keep her cool and joke around. Nothing in Coffee Prince really bothered me, except the grandmother's reaction when she found out that Eun Chan is a girl. Also, I know I praised Han Kyul earlier but when things where rough between him and Eun Chan, he got really abusive. Verbal abuse isn't new in Korean drama but Han Kyul went over-board so many times, I almost hated him. Also, I'm really glad that Choi Han Kyul and Go Eun Chan didn't rush into marriage. That was only one of the few things Jin Ha Rim (the nosy one) said that I agreed with. Overall, The characters are all lovable despite their flaws and despite how old the drama is, it is still relevant and enjoyable.
