It aired in the Philippines on GMA Network from January 1 to March 19, 2008 and received high ratings during its run.
The series was re-aired with glish subtitles on Animax Asia in 2010 and on GMA News TV from September 19 to October 14, 2016 at 11:00pm.There are a lot of Korean dramas I love, but if I had to choose my all-time favorite drama, then that distinction undisputedly goes to 2007’s Coffee Prince. It is the first, and only, drama I watched and loved so much that I immediately watched it again. Since then, I’ve watched it at least once every year (sometimes twice).
I can’t pinpoint exactly what is so great about Coffee Prince because it truly is one of those well-rounded shows where the stars just seem to align and make magic. The casting is great, the writing is great, the acting is great, the subject matter is risqué but still relatively tame, and every element seems tailored-made for the production. But I can gush all night so let’s get into specifics. [WARNING: Spoilers ahead.]
Actress Yoon Eun Hye To Reportedly Make Her Debut As An Essay Author
Go Eun-chan (Yoon Eun-hye) is the primary bread-winner in her family. She’s worked so hard to take care of her mother and sister since her father died that she has little time or money to spend on her appearance. Thus, she looks and acts like a boy and is comfortable being mistaken for a man as the “head” of the house. She works several jobs—delivering milk, teaching Taekwondo, working as a delivery driver for a jjajangmyun joint, sewing eyes on stuffed animals, and peeling chestnuts—to support the family. She has a huge appetite to fuel her nonstop work schedule, which is a running gag throughout the series.
Choi Han-gyul (Gong Yoo) is a rich, arrogant player. His mother and grandmother are tired of him coasting through life with the family’s money and want him to settle down and get married. His grandmother owns a large food company, which is the source of the family’s money. She threatens to cut him off financially if he doesn’t go on matchmaking dates. He agrees but hires Eun-chan, who he thinks is a boy, to pretend to be his gay lover and scare off any potential matches. Notably, despite being a player, Han-gyul has a hankering for his cousin’s long time flame.
Choi Han-sung (Lee Seon-gyun) is Han-gyul’s cousin. He is a musician who produces music for movie soundtracks. Han-sung is down-to-earth and friendly. He’s a nice guy who has a weak spot for his long time love, Han Yoo-joo. Yoo-joo left him for another man and moved to New York. When the series opens, she is back in Korea and ready to rekindle their relationship. Han-sung still loves her, but develops feelings for Eun-chan during his reconciliation with Yoo-joo. Han-sung is aware that his cousin Han-gyul has a crush on Yoo-joo but he doesn’t appear bothered by it.
Park Shin Hye Wants To Get Married Soon
Han Yoo-Joo (Chae Jung-ahn) is a famous artist. She is selfish and a little cold. She left Han-sung for another man (D.K.) to go to New York to make it in the art world. After gaining fame, she dumped D.K. and returned to Korea. She says she loves Han-sung but has a history of mistreating him. She knows that Han-gyul likes her as well but ignores his feelings.
Believing Eun-chan is a boy, Han-gyul hires her to pose as his gay lover to ruin the blind dates his grandmother insists he attends. After his grandmother’s attempts to marry him off fail, she makes him run a dilapidated (and totally disgusting) coffee shop with Hong Gae-shik (Kim Chang-wan). He renovates the shop and decides to only hire men to draw in the female crowd from a nearby women’s university. Eun-chan decides to continue posing as a boy so she can work there. Over time Han-gyul finds himself more and more attracted to Eun-chan, which sends him on an emotional roller coaster as he grapples with the thought that he might be gay. Eun-chan falls in love with Han-gyul too, but she’s too afraid to reveal the truth for fear of losing him.
The story is typical rom-com unreality in that this most certainly will never happen in real life. But it seems Coffee Prince never got that memo, because the story manages to feel real and both leads draw you into their world and their feelings. When things are not going well between them, everything at the café seems to be in an uproar, and as the viewer your world feels a little helter skelter too. But when things are good, they’re really really good and you’ll find yourself smiling at the cuteness and the romance of it all.

To say that Gong Yoo is great in this role would be an understatement. He really makes Han-gyul into this loveable, complex, three-dimensional character instead of just another poor-little-rich-playboy. As he struggles to handle the weight of his growing feelings for Eun-chan, you can’t help but feel his pain. And when he finally decides to admit how he feels in spite of what it means, the viewer gets to go on that ride with him. Too bad it all comes crashing down when he discovers Eun-chan was lying to him all along and everyone (and I mean everyone) was in on the secret. His sense of betrayal is compounded by the fact that he discovers her duplicity soon after a family secret is revealed so to him it feels like everyone he loves lies to him.
But luckily, the betrayal eventually turns to relief that she’s a girl who he can take home to his parents and we’re back to cuteness and fun times again.
Despite Gong Yoo being really (REALLY) great, this is definitely a team effort and Yoon Eun-hye is a perfect companion to balance out our main couple. Coffee Prince is either the first or second drama I ever watched (I watched Full House and Coffee
