Just finished rewatching it one year later. The first time I gave it a 90/100. I now lowered the score a bit. It's still very good, but not so much as I remembered
pros: - Very funny. One of the most fun of this type of shows - Lots of sweet moments and including tons of kisses - VERY lighthearted. No bad characters at all. - Beautiful ending. One of the best. And it's a long beautiful ending, not just a wrap up.
cons: - I didnt remember this from the first watch, but I didnt quite like their "dynamic". And by that I mean that he teases her a lot. And there are sweet teases, but I didnt find them sweet. He teases her by leaning "forcefully" onto her, or similar things, and makes her often uncomfortable. It's not really forcefull, he is teasing her, but I found it more uncomfortable than sweet. Often after "teasing" her that way, she tries to evade him or run away, than he grabs her, and then the joke ends and they are sweet. But I didnt quite like this dynamic. This doesnt mean every sweet moment is like this, and she looks for him physically also many times.
Dont let this negative point discourage you, it only made me lower the score a bit from my past 90 to 85, its still an amazing show, lots of sweetness and cute moments, both show their love constantly, their friends and family are all awesome and supportive and the ending is beautiful.
Just finished it. OMG what a wonderful story. Just... beautiful.I just gave it my highest rating of all the romance…
- At the start, ML has social phobia, and FL is TERRIBLE with studies. They met long ago as young children and were besties, but for some reason were separated. - ML joins FLs class, they dont recognize eachother. - ML first recognizes FL because she carries a pendant he made for her. - In episode 3, ML shows her the same amulet so she recognizes him too. - Ok, that's it, from this moment on... omg they are inseparable and amazing all the way until the end. - First they arent romantically together. But omg are they great together at this point already. They dont even look secretly in love or anything. They dont seem to yet have romantic intersts, but at the same time... its so sweet to see them at this point - I think in episode 9 you can start to see they start having romantic interest in eachoter. This is more a personal feeling. - At some point around here, everybody already starts considering them a couple, even when they arent. They keep being amazing, and it doesnt happen like in other shows where you scream to yourself: Get together already!!! They are just so good without being officially together, that you dont mind. And I usually cant wait for leads to get together in other shows - In episode 18 they officially become a couple. - They never break up, they never quarrel and as far as we know, they never spend a single day apart.
Most beautiful love story Ive seen in a drama. Altho, quite unrealistic.
Just finished it. OMG what a wonderful story. Just... beautiful.
I just gave it my highest rating of all the romance dramas Ive seen, and Im talking about 120 kdramas + cdramas. It is simply beautiful.
If you watch a romance for the beautiful story, the sweetness and the satisfying moments, there is no better show than this one. But it is not a realistic story. I dont watch romances for realistic stories, but for satisfying moments, so for me it was perfect. Let me give you an example. The leads put the other lead above EVERYTHING else. Above their careers, above their most trusted friends.... and they dont even do it in a shy way. They let everybody know that nothing matters more than the other one. I mean, this is not a good thing in real life. They almost look to need eachother to function properly. This wouldnt be healthy in real life. But this is a romance drama, and here... I love it. Also, their dependancy is justified because it's a bit the main plot of the show. Both start flawed, he has social phobia but is a genius and she is VERY charismatic and has a strong character but is TERRIBLE in studies. And together they "fix" the other one"
So yeah, if you like realistic romance stories, maybe its not your cup of tea. If you just want a beautiful and sweet story, there is no drama like this one.
Also, there is 0 angst, 0 love triangles and 0 toxicity
Oh yeah, almost forgot, secondary couple love story drags for too long. That one isnt good.
Just finished it. It's very goodA very lighthearted romance with a lot of chemistry. Leads are awesome to eachother…
- ML starts likeing her romantically almsot from the beginning. - This is a personal opinion, but for me, she liked him a lot as a friend and sportsman, but didnt really like him romantically until later, I would say episode 15. Still, they are amazing working together since episode 1. - They get together in episode 17. From this point on they never break up or even quarrel. Altho he pouts several times because of being jealous or clingy. - Not much left to say, the start was nice, but episodes 17 to 26, when they are together, are a pleaseure to watch.
You could say there is a love triangle. Well, there is. And it lasts a long time. But let me tell you I hate even ligh love triangles and this one wasnt bad at all. Yes, there is a guy for almost the entire show that likes FL, and he is always close by. But hear me out. He is very nice. And I dont mean nice to FL, I dont like those triangles either. He is nice to ML too and to them as a couple. He is a very old friend of FL and he does not only help FL but also ML constantly. And while he teases ML a bit before the leads get together, it is in a comical tone, and after the leads get together, he wishes them all the best. Also, FL never liked him romantically, they are just good friends. Again, I hate love triangles, and if I would read about this one, it would sound bad for me, but watching it, it isnt at all.
Just finished it. It's very good A very lighthearted romance with a lot of chemistry. Leads are awesome to eachother the entire show.
I must say MLs character isnt as perfect here as in other shows like Forever Love and To fly with you. He is too childish, clingy and jealous. But even with this, the romance is great between them.
Before they are a couple, they are great working together. And after they are a couple, they are flawless
Also, if you like paassionate scenes, for an asian show, this one has very hot kisses and skinship scenes. I mean, it would be nothing compared to an american or european show, but as an asian show, I was quite surprised about how much they showed.
Hmmm….I haven’t dropped any comment here for a while, but this brought me out of shell. For starters, I am…
ABout to start this. Ive read a lot of comments saying how ML looks in love with her, but none of the opposite. I hate when there is a clear difference between how much the main couple likes the other one. Does she also act like ML or is it mainly him?
Just finished it. It's... alright. Not much to say about it. The actors were pretty good. I didnt like ML in other…
- They were lovers in the past. He broke up because he was ashamed from something his family did and never told her why. Has been avoiding her for years. - They meet and he tries to avoid her but they keep running into eachother and she falls for him again (he secretly also loves her and always has) - In episode 4 she kisses him and confesses. He rejects her. Its not an angsty reject, they continue the same dynamic as before this happens. - In episode 7 they kiss again but still dont get together. - Soon after, he confesses but says they cant be together until he fixes that secret. - In episode 8 she tells him he should tell her the secret, that she will handle it. Soon after he is about to tell her but she finds out from another source. - She does indeed not handle it well as she said. She gets first mad for having kept it as a secret. And after a few episodes when she isnt mad anymore, she still says she cant be with him because of what his family did. - In episode 11 she comes around and they get together - In episode 12 they have a fight. Normal fight, nothing angsty. At the end they fix it - In episode 13 they fight again . Again they solve it soon. - In episode 14/15 he proposes and she says no, she doesnt even want to marry. - In episode 16 after talking with her mother she realizes she does want to marry him, runs to him and tells him - They marry
No love triangle. A doctor likes her and at the start it may look like theres going to be one but no.
Just finished it. It's... alright. Not much to say about it.
The actors were pretty good. I didnt like ML in other shows Ive seen from him, but he was ok here. FL did a good job I think. I like the actor who did the villain a lot, usually from secondary roles, and he did good here too.
About the story and the romance... just alright. Ive read some comments saying they are so healthy. I dont agree. Its true that they end up talking and resolving their issues. But the main plot of the romance is a big secret that shouldnt have been and even after fixing it, they fight several times. It's never ansgty, and like I said they talk it through and fix it. But they still do fight. And the big problem takes a lot until its fixed.
This is one of the healthiest couple communications in kdrama I have ever seen
I cant believe I am reading this. In the past ML breaks up with FL in their best moments to keep a secret. He avoids her for 17 years. When they meet again, every time FL tries to approach him he rejects her. She even confesses and he rejects her.... while being madly in love with her. When he finally is going to tell the truth, and she said she will bear anything... she gets mad. Mad about having kept it a secret? Sure, but after she isnt mad anymore about not having told her , she still doesnt want to be with him just because he is family with the people who wronged her and she spends days thinking if Sin is inherited... wtf When after 11 frikin episodes of this BIG communication problem they make up and start dating.... 10 minutes later in episode 12 they have their first fight. And after fixing it in the next episode, they have their second fight. And I havent watched more yet.
Healthiest couple communications ... what the hell xD Or maybe you were being sarcastic
I'm having 2ML syndrome. He's so endearing. How I wish FL could end up with him. 2ML respects FL's decision, and…
Wait, wtf. I was just about to start this drama. It doesnt have any love triangle tag, and now I read theres a stupid sML? Come on, mydramalist, that tag is important to avoid terrible tropes.
question that i want spoilers for: how long does it take for ml to realize fl is a girl? like, for example in…
What are you talking about. Im a sucker for leads getting soon together, and coffe prince is amazing. They get together in 12/17. We see them dating for 6 full episodes. Saying he doesnt realize it until the end of the show is totally undtrue.
Just finished it. It is very good.I would give it a rating of over 9 if instead of 51 episodes it would be about…
I usually say at what episode they get together here, but it's not possible here. Theres not a single point. They just slowly get together until they are. And everybody wathcing it could feel it is at a different moment when you can officially say they are together.
- In episode 6, you already start seeing they like eachother. From that point onthey are flawless to eachother until episode 51. Its really great. - Their relationship evolves very slowly, but I would say theres not a single episode where we dont see them cute with eachother. - Theres only 2 moments in the entire show where they are apart for a few episodes. One shortly after episode 6 (when we start seeing they like eachother) and one at about 3/4 of the show. And even during those episodes, tehres not a single episode where we dont see each of them thinking about the other. They are sweet together even the few episodes they are apart - In episode 25, for me theres a major breakthrough. Until this point they clearly liked eachotehr, but they only joked about it. In this episode, he kisses his own finger and puts it on her cheek, and she smiles. Its the first tiem they do something intimate without laughing about it. Also, until this point they found excuses to continue traveling together, but from here on, they clearly just say they want to continue together. - In episode 31 something happens and from this point on FL doubles her shows of affection for him. And this change is permanent. (She was always cute and sweet towards im, but now she is a lot more bold) - In episode 39 they kiss for the first time - From this point on they totally act like a real couple. The reason I dont say 39 is where they get together is because they already clearly were before. - Nothing else to say, they stay awesome together until the end.
- No love triangles. 2 guys along the show like FL a bit but dont cause any trouble at all. Its only very short, they are good guys and dont cause trouble, and leads only have eyes for eachother since episode 6. - Not a single missunderstanding. Altho ML keeps a secret for a long time. It doesnt cause any trouble. - Of course, no breakup.
I would give it a rating of over 9 if instead of 51 episodes it would be about 35 episode long, and they would cut about 70% of every scene where the leads are not present.
Yeah, the good part about this show are the leads. Amazing how they treat eachother from episode 6 to 51. I always like shows where the leads get together early, but this is one of the few you can enjoy their relationship from much earlier than when they are together. They are flawless with eachother all the time.
The rest isnt bad, dont get me wrong. But ... I just dont like shows that are so long. So, since the leads is the best thing this show has, I would cut many episodes by reducing the rest of the scenes. But they are alright.
pros:
- Very funny. One of the most fun of this type of shows
- Lots of sweet moments and including tons of kisses
- VERY lighthearted. No bad characters at all.
- Beautiful ending. One of the best. And it's a long beautiful ending, not just a wrap up.
cons:
- I didnt remember this from the first watch, but I didnt quite like their "dynamic". And by that I mean that he teases her a lot. And there are sweet teases, but I didnt find them sweet. He teases her by leaning "forcefully" onto her, or similar things, and makes her often uncomfortable. It's not really forcefull, he is teasing her, but I found it more uncomfortable than sweet.

This doesnt mean every sweet moment is like this, and she looks for him physically also many times.
Dont let this negative point discourage you, it only made me lower the score a bit from my past 90 to 85, its still an amazing show, lots of sweetness and cute moments, both show their love constantly, their friends and family are all awesome and supportive and the ending is beautiful.
