Coffee, Tea Or MeYou cannot begin to gauge how enchanted I am watching Coffee Prince. I spent 3 days to finish the entire series, which translates into approximately 6 continuous hours of eyeball numbing videos per night. It was super hard to navigate myself away from the PC as I devoured episode after episode; Each more enjoyable then the last. Eventually sleeping only in the wee hours of dawn, with a silly smile plastered on my face.
The show talks about homosexuality, premarital sex and the changing face of cultures and trends in conservative Korea. While other countries have long had their fair share of rambunctious romps in the sack, and openly homosexual public figures, Korea still prefers to sweep topics like these under the carpet. It’s an addiction lah. And I’m not shy about it.
The Characters :
Choi Han Kyul.
Initially, I didn’t think he was very handsome. However, it was a mixture of his natural acting and warm, sincere smile that made me fall head over heels with his character. He should thank his stylist. His clothes made him look gorgeous!
Every girl (and/or guy) want their own Han Kyul.
And yes, his body is PERFECT. I soooooo LIKE. Toned enough to exhibit the curves of the muscles but not beefy to the point of disgust.
Go Eun Chan.
I loved her eating scenes! Especially the ramen eating contest and the folding pizza part. Hahaa.. Not so much a typical damsel in distress by Korean standards. I guess every struggling person hopes to be whisked away by some rich, charming and hopeless devoted other half.
The Princes
By far, my favorite’s Mr Hong, who loves to dig his nose and chooses to wipe his finger clean with his mouth. He’s man enough to tell things like it is. He’s a Man’s Man.
Waffle Sun Ki
Mysterious and steadfast in love. He crosses the sea to search for the woman he loves.
Big Mouth Ha Rim
The meterosexual-Wanabe-Player. He tries desperately to appear as a Casanova, although deep inside, he’s actually quite a marshmallow (read : softie).
Min Yeop
Probably born with subnormal intellect, counter-balanced only by his massive strength. His naiveté can stun. But you have to give the guy marks for trying his best. He reminds me of Obelix.
You just have to watch to believe.
Choi Han Sung
I love this man’s voice. I’m dead serious. I like the dog Terry too. I like the fact that the show portrays long standing relationships can also have more then their fair share of drama.
Han Yoo Joo
I don’t like this character. She pretty much is a selfish thing, doing only as she pleases with a total disregard for others. Only transforming during the later part of the series. But the actress is very pretty. Super feminine.
And if you are equally as crazy over the show as me, you can fly down to Korea and visit the actual Coffee Prince’s Café in Hongdae.
