The kiss of the drama (EP 16)

This drama, I enjoyed the chemistry between Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo. There is even talk about Coffee Prince #2. But I do not think without Gong Yoo it will not be good. I heard that Goong S with Se7en bombed without the original Goong cast in it. It is rare for sequels to do well without the original characters/cast members.

The music in this drama was good and the themes that are not normally dealt with in Korean dramas made. Such as Gong Yoo's character Han Kyul starts falling for Yoon Eun Hye as Eun Chan. She disguises her identity to get a job and then later just maintains the charade even while falling for Han Kyul. To everyone else, except for the other coworkers, they are all in on the charade. Even Han Kyul's cousin knows Eun Chan is a girl and is surprised that she is able to "deceive" Han Kyul.

The fact that Han Kyul has a growing attraction to another "guy" disturbs him as he knows he likes woman. But he does come to terms with his feelings and tries to be with Eun Chan as a friend/or "hyung". But he realizes he wants more and feels horrible about it as it drives him nearly insane.

I like that the side stories with the other characters are mentioned too! Such as the quiet waffle maker No Sun Ki who is in search for a woman he loves. Then there is the woman crazy Jin Ha Rim who loves to call Eun Chan "My Chan" all the time. Burly Min Yeop who is crazy in love with Eun Chan's sister Eun Sae dogs Eun Chan's every move thinking she/he is suitor to his "angel". Even the two suitors for Eun Chan's mother develops throughout the drama which I found to be funny.

There is a more modern view about couple's intimacy that is not seen alot in Korean Dramas was seen here with Choi Han Sung and Han Yoo Joo's relationship. They had lived together for a few years then Han Yoo Joo left with another man and now she wants to have Han Sung back. (All the while Han Sung's cousin Han Kyul had a big crush on the free spirited Yoo Joo). Both are in their 30's and not married but share more than the chaste kiss and hug seen in all the Korean dramas.

It is funny how the dramas are very closeted and prim but the movies are not. But I guess the television channels are aware that the viewers are concerned about the content shown.

synopsis (www.coffee-prince.com)

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. Because of her previous experience with Tae Kwon Do, Eun Chan has quite the bold and opinionated personality. Choi Han Kyul seems to know women well and thinks of himself as a great guy.
After accidentally being mistaken for a man by Han Kyul’s older brother, Choi Han Seong, she starts working at Coffee Prince, and falls in love with the hot-tempered owner Choi Han Kyul. Han Kyul hires Eun Chan to avoid an arranged marrage by pretending to be romantically linked to a “gay” Eun Chan. But Choi Han Kyul slowly starts to develop feelings for her, but still doesn’t believe in love. Eun Chan also starts to have feelings for Han Kyul but can’t confess that she’s a woman, Han Kyul, continues thinking that the agonized Go Eun Chan is a man. Choi Han Kyul thinks he’s experiencing feelings of homosexuality towards her, and gets heartsick. This side of him was drawn in a risky but fun way.

The part when he discovers that Go Eun Chan is a woman is shown in an undemanding way, and the story doesn’t concentrate on just these two people, but also on the other people who frequent Coffee Prince. These people are shown one by one in a natural way, and since the story isn’t just about romance but about the natural conflicts of all the characters.
