Drama - 咖啡王子1号店 (The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince)


After watching Boys over Flowers, I got hooked to korean drama.

咖啡王子1号店 was aired on Channel U quite sometime back but did not have a chance to watched it back then. Also, recommend by the rental shop people, I decided to give it a try. I ended up watching the whole serial faster than I thought.

The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy. With a foolish mother and the need to look after her younger sister, "pretty boy" Go Eun Chan has to give up her feminine image to help support the family with multiple jobs.

Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo), seems to know women well and thinks of himself as a great guy, 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"?
