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"?


Yep, had to watch another that I've seen before. Actually, this was the first, EVER, Asian drama I watched. I was hunting for anime really. I found an Asian channel that hald anime they showed only at night so I looked online to see what they aired and Coffee Prince caught my attention after reading the short synopsis. So I did a hunt and started watching it. From that point on.....I have been addicted ever since.

I'm not saying Coffee Prince was the best but I thought it was good. Enough so that I wanted to see more from Korea but ended up watching a Japanese drama afterwards (Nodame Cantabile). So my love officially started.................This was almost a year and a half ago............

Ahhh!!

This isn't the best of all Korean dramas but it was good enough to keep me hooked. I think I liked the idea that Han Kyul fell in love with a "guy" and let all inhibitions go because the love was more important. Okay, it was good that the "guy" wasn't actually of the male variety. Hehehe!

I thought that this story showed that love was the most important factor of the story where as gender took a second role. It was quite funny at the beginning. I'm not saying it lost its comedic output as the story went on but the hilarity of it disappeared. The coffee "princes" took over that role. Oh and those princes were some serious eye candy. One of those "princes" is the late Lee Eon who passed away just a couple of weeks ago. And let me say this that after watching this show, there wasn't a moment when his face appeared that my heart "hurt". Kim Jae Wook, is he Korean? The name is definitely but he looks Japanese all the way. I'm so confused?????

A definite feel good show without the typical Korean drama ending. I felt good afterwards and hope they make a second season but then that won't happen because our Gong Yoo is doing his mandatory 2-years "voluntary" military service. Ughhhhh!

Sumin is an orphan with ambitions. A limo driver by night and a factory worker by day, he works two jobs in order to study at art school. One night he picks up the drunken Jaemin, a young and very handsome businessman, and brings the man home. The young driver rebuffs his passenger's advances and simply tries to get the man home safely for the night. But the next day at work, Jaemin is part of a tour at Sumin's factory, and he spots the young man immediately.
Unbeknownst to Sumin, Jaemin is the boss's son and Sumin is set to lose his position in an imminent round of layoffs. Jaemin intervenes to save his new friend's job, but his assistance is refused. Sumin is poor but proud and not about to accept the favors of a wealthy man -- favors that may have strings attached. Instead, out of desperation, Sumin takes a job at a high end hustler bar prostituting himself. Jaemin tracks Sumin to his new job and becomes obsessed with the young man. He pays for sex with Sumin and follows him around like a sick puppy dog.


This was the best yaoi/gay movie I've ever seen. Okay, okay, okay....I've only seen maybe 3-4 of them but this one touched me more so than any.

This was my first experience, actually, to have seen two men have sex. *Yeah, this movie didn't hold back.* I don't consider this porn because they only showed the act not the frontal anatomy.

Lee Han and Lee Young Hoon did such an excellent job that they had me believing that this movie was for real. If they are NOT gay, then they need to be given the OSCAR for best damn performance ever and paid 10 times what they are worth.

From the very beginning of this movie, I was dragged in. And let's just cut to the chase, the first seen was that of Lee Young Hoon butt naked in a pond swimming. That's the way to get this girl's heartbeat started.

This being a homosexual movie, I'm sure that this movie has been by-passed for certain reasons. Please....open your mind. Gay love is beautiful. I'm starting to "see". Having two members of my family who are openly gay, opening of one's mind can ease the pain and suffering that they have to go through because they are who they are.

Okay, okay, okay...and again I'll admit two hot guys getting it on....is a scary turn on for me. *Damn! I admitted it again...LOL!*
