Coffee Prince

      

     

The third of my favorite dramas is the "Coffee Prince" drama. It's a Korean drama produced in 2007. The drama is based on a novel written by Lee Sun Mi ( a Korean writer) with the same name. The drama has total 17 episodes with 60 minutes for each episode.

This drama is about a hard-working girl named Eun-chan who normally dresses up like a guy to get temp jobs easier. She needs to work a lot of different jobs to take care of her childish mother and her troublemaker younger sister. She delivers milk in the early morning and after that she teaches Taewondo class for kids since she's really good at it. In the afternoon, she works at a Chinese noodle restaurant as a delivery person. Because she dress up like a guy, almost everyone who see her usually misunderstands that she is guy. The main male character who named Han-gyul misunderstood her too at first and he offered her a job as his gay lover to prevent his blind-date arranged by his grandmother. After he get an ultimatum from his grandmother, Han-gyul takes over an old coffee shop. He hire only good-looking guys to work for him in order to attract female customers. Eun-chan who needs money to pay rent decides to hide her real gender to work at Han-gyul's coffee shop. After working together awhile, Han-gyul starts to question about his sexuality when he has feelings toward Eun-chan. I really love the quote he said to Eun-chan in the drama. He kissed her said " I like you whether you are a guy or an alien. None of that matters. It's just too hard to get over you so let's go through with this. Let's give it a shot." That was extremely romantic to me.

I love the drama too much that I watched over and over four times. This drama is the first starts of a bunch of tomboy girl drama which is a big hit in around Asia at that time. If you guys have time or just curious about it, you should give it a try. That's a really good drama.
