COFFEE PRINCE

    SUMMARY: (courtesy of http://doramax264.com )

• The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul’s grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his “homosexuality?

• MY REVIEW :
• If you ask me to describe this entire series in one word then the first word entering my mind would be "CUTE". Yup, this is one of the cutest shows I've ever seen, and I'm not at all using the technique of exaggeration. At first I was reluctant to understand though, how can a girl manage to trick every second person into thinking that she is a guy?? But then I kinda got used to it. Moreover, I liked Han Kyul's character simply too much to dislike the show due to this surreal element. The way he looked at her, the way he got jealous when she talked to others with an extra-friendly tinge in attitude, the way he tried to make her his brother just for the sake of having her around, the way he secretly cried cursing himself for letting himself fall in love with a guy ( since he didn't know she was actually a girl). All in all, his character literally made me love the show even more. Yet, I can't deny the fact that the entire concept of this show seems a bit too unrealistic, but then again, that's what television is all about : experiencing and watching something that seems rather unlikely in the real world. :)
