I am not a fan of K-Drama, but am a huge fan of this show. Have watched the entire show 4 times so far and always want to come back to it. The scenes are so original you might think it wasn't in a movie.

2007 ~ 2018 and haven't had enough to it. Made me think there was something wrong in me but I'm still fine, I wouldn't mind even if I do though.

I don't know about the others, but it hurts so bad to know that there will be no 2nd season to this show. It really hurts.

I have watched a lot of recent K dramas but I am glad I somehow stumbled onto this one from 2007. It's my goto TV series when I want to feel happy!

At this time, Korean serials were more forward, had more smexy and intimate scenes. Though the plot is simple, the script is beautiful and the performances are unbelievable. Eun Hyun Hye hasn't bothered about her looks and plays the cutest tomboy ever. As for Gong Hyu, it's his best work ! The guy is soo natural and has such a range of expressions... I tried hard putting them on in the mirror but I just dont seem to have them :)

Together their friendship, fun and fights and intimate scenes create magic on screen.

Strongly strongly recommend !

I found the first few few episodes annoying.. BUT after the 5th episode, I got hooked.. It is so beautiful, the chemistry between the two main leads is amazing.. Love is love, it has no boundaries.. Watch it.

I finally finished this drama after a long time in between watching binges - I was paused at episode 11 or something for quite some time. I liked it, and appreciated that the heroine wasn't a typical girly girl. Go tomboys!! But I have never really loved plots where there is a huge deception between the two main leads and it goes on too long. At least, I feel it went on too long. Each to their own.

I loved the supporting cast and there were plenty of funny moments but also too much drama. The second lead guy made me uncomfortable with his behaviour towards our heroine. I thought the model guy and his gal (heroine's little sister) were cute too, at least once she stopped being a biatch. Anyway, it was a nice way to end the show, and I still love coffee!

This was the very first Korean drama I watched. After this one I was hooked! Everything about this K-drama was awesome; the cast, the story, the characters. I will definitely re-watch this one again and again! It will get you hooked! Absolutely loved the ending, too!!!

Although I wasn't keen on the pacing and the 2nd couple with their on-off again drama, this kdrama was still watchable enough on Netflix! I was glad that they were able to get a FL who is at least a tomboy and acts likeable for a change! ML was good enough as well. The pair of them are so cute together with their "bromance" like relationship, if only it was about them than the 2nd couple. Otherwise I would have added another few stars on this drama.

Anyways if peeps wanna see a different type of romance than the typical old fashioned ones, it's good to give this a watch on Netflix!

I didn't want this series to end. I binged it. If this is a novel, it's a 'page turner', it is a movie so I gave it Two Thumbs up. The players were well picked and kudos the Casting Director. We can identify with their characters, which are so real to life, who hasn't loved and lost our first love... the pain, heartbreaks, laughter and joy are so close to us. This is a must watch for K-movie fabs. Trust me, you're a romantic, you'll enjoy it. Have fun.

I had expectations for this drama....but it was a disaster.

Maybe it seemed innovative for 2007 , but in 2024 it was totally lame.

The script was bad . Dialogues were bad . Supporting roles were bad and not well develloped . Main couple had bad chemistry and they seemed more like buddys than lovers.

I didn't feel any sympathy for the main couple. The main lead woman was annoying and she behaved like a fifteen year old young boy. I still cannot understand why the main actor fell in love with her.

The second couple ...the worst of all.

A red-flag relationship.

To sum up, a series with negative moral messages for the young couples and the relationships. Disgusting jokes and behaviors.

All though almost all Korean Dramas are great but this One of the best out there. Must watch for all.

COFFEE PRINCE (2007) was one of the first K-dramas I ever watched, quite a few years ago now. It is a very entertaining rom-com, but as light as it may seem, it also has a lot of heavy-heavy feels going on. The premise is fun and entertaining and yet very moving. The characters are all interesting and well-casted. I absolutely loved the main character, a tomboy heroine named Go Eun-chan. She was so lovable, relatable and interesting. Although a bit slow at times, this show was an unforgettable watch. Super cute. No regrets.

Overall, it was worth the watch.

Continue watching until episode 4 and prepare to be completely hooked until the end. Main stars, Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun-hye are superb in this great kdrama. Yoon Eun-hye won best actress at the Baeksang Art Awards for her performance, and it was so well deserved. This is no ordinary love story, and is just enthralling. Its depth and how the characters succumb is captivating. Those who have seen it will be aware that there are fabulous kisses, 2 of which are some of the very best of all kdramas. Without doubt. Enjoy.

I truly enjoyed this drama with all my heart !! The story line.. the plot.. the cast.. everything was amazing !!! It's definitely one of the must watch series !!

Coffee Prince is an early Kdrama that has aged amazingly, unlike many others. It truly was a show ahead of its time in terms of protagonists and themes. In modern terms, the female protagonist might be considered non-binary, and the male protagonist pansexual, as he proudly states "I don't care if you're a guy or an alien." Of course, in 2007 America, much less Korea, positive discussions and visibility of gay characters was close to nonexistent; this show was truly a trailblazer, alongside being pure and wholesome cuteness.

Additionally, Coffee Prince handled these deeper topics in such a wholesome and realistic way without it feeling political. Truly, viewers are just watching the lives of very real people play out, with hip 2007 indie tracks playing in the background, no overly dramatic evil characters in sight, no dramatic replays, and no cliff hanger endings. Of course there's plenty more subtle dramatic moments, but always more lifelike in their drama.

Before watching this show, I had been watching Kdramas since 2012; this was the only remaining iconic Kdrama from the 2000s that I had put off watching. My hesitancy to watch was due to the gender-bend/gay character stereotype, which I'd seen done in less than tasteful ways before ie: Personal Taste, To the Beautiful You, Secret Garden. Especially in To the Beautiful You, presenting as a male is a costume for the main character instead of a lifestyle. Not so with Coffee Prince; in this case, it truly is a woman who likes presenting as male with androgynous clothing-it's not just an entertaining gimmick with the gay community held up as a joke.

However, it's also not shallow in how it approaches this subject. The main character understands that she'll be negatively viewed for being a woman who isn't female presenting, and that's exactly what happens; to the dismay and anger of the dashing male lead, thankfully. In this way, it subtly taught a nation to understand the plight of non-binary and LGBTQ people.

In another way, the female protagonist is also extremely independent and feminist-not falling into the trap of living for romance, but instead choosing to live for her career and future-themes that later shows like Boys Over Flowers handled poorly. To put it plainly, everything great about Kdramas-their wholesomeness, their ability to tackle difficult social subjects, their cast chemistry-Coffee Prince did it perfectly first.

This drama is so much fun. There are many characters here that are popular today that drama fans will be familiar with, and they all do such a great job bringing their characters to life. (This is the first drama I've watched that has Lee Sun-kyun in it since he so sadly left us. ;( He was so young and played a really good role. RIP 💔) The first few episodes are the strongest and funniest. The wit and humor are so sharp, and the character and friendship development is very enjoyable. I wondered just how this would have been received in South Korea at the time-even now-because so many dramas feature the importance of sex appeal/appearance and social status, and this one so messes with both but in a delightfully funny way. The music is good, and the cinematic techniques seem advanced for what we usually see in dramas from that time period. I debated about my rating and settled with 7/10 because it dragged a bit in the last few episodes, and the endings for the two main couples could have been better. But, overall, I would recommend it to drama lovers looking for a fun time!

Fantastic performances and a very emotive and sensitive romance, with plenty of passion, which keeps you watching right to the end. Loved every episode.

This is the most amazing and warm love story. I can not describe how this true-to-reality-acting and, without exception, fabulous series exploded in my chest, now nesting in my heart. This is a series that I return to time and time again. It provides hope, comfort, heart flutters, longing and, not to forget, an undoubtably excellent and absolutely gorgeous Gong Yoo. But the FL, Yoon Eun-hye, is freakin' mind blowing in her character interpretation! She is the star of this show. And the chemistry between the ML and FL is perhaps one of the most honest, interesting and intense in all the K-dramas I've experienced so far. The supporting cast and the stories they bring are full of feeling, heart and really down to earth. You cannot help to fall in love with them all! This story addresses many large and small obstacles, tabus and complications in society and in relationships between friends and lovers. It is truly amazing! For me this is the origin of well made Korean dramas, and all should strive to achieve this measure of perfection! Watch and enjoy! I am envious of all whom get to experience this series for the first time! Maybe this is the perfect reason for a true K-drama amnesia to set in! Temporary and selective of course! Daebak!

Best kiss ever Female lead is cute and male lead is handsome. Love it.
