As the head of a poor family, the lively and independent Eun-chan has worked at just about every job there is. She is hired to work at a coffee shop by Han-gyeol who mistakes her for a male and asks her to pose as his boyfriend. A relationship begins between Han-gyeol, who pretends to act as a homosexual to scare off the blind dates arranged by his grandmother, and Eun-chan, who needs to hide her gender to make money. At his grandmother’s request, Han-gyeol has taken charge of the failing Coffee Prince. He re-opens the shop together with a few “princes” including Eun-chan and builds a partnership and friendship with them. In this process, Han-gyeol finds himself drawn to Eun-chan, and this “homosexual” attraction confuses him.

About the Characters:

Choi Han-gyeol – Played by Gong Yoo Han-gyeol is the heir to the Dongin Foods Company. He had been working in the U.S., but returns to Korea at his grandmother’s request. Smart, witty, and handsome, he is popular with women. He hasn’t settled on any particular job, and still has so many things he wants to do. Clearly, taking over the family business is not what he has in mind. He is unable to defy his grandmother’s requests, however, so he starts managing the coffee shop, Coffee Prince, and grows to enjoy the taste of its coffee. Definitely stubborn, he doesn’t want to ask for favors or give them. Likewise, he acts with indifference toward others. However, deep inside he is warm hearted. He meets Eun-chan, a lively boy (who is actually a girl) and falls in love with him, which has him deeply troubled about his sexual preference.

Go Eun-chan – Played by Yoon Eun-hye Eun-chan is definitely a manly-looking girl. Since she was in high school, girls of her age had often mistaken her for a pretty boy and tried to date her. Since her father passed away, she has worked at all kinds of jobs to support her family. Despite her difficult situation, she maintains a courageous and forthright demeanor. A likeable person, she enjoys eating good food and is friendly to everyone. Influenced by her coffee-loving father, she has an uncanny ability to judge the aroma of coffee. Thanks to this ability, she lands a job at Coffee Prince and dreams of becoming a hostess one day. She falls in love with Han-gyeol who is cold and wild, and since their encounter, her life is no longer as peaceful as it had

Choi Han-seong – Played by Lee Seon-gyeon Not only does Han-seong have a sweet voice and smile but he is also easy-going, so he can easily make friends with anyone, but he doesn’t reveal his true feelings. Like other artists, his is stubborn and somewhat eccentric. A musician working at a broadcast company, he lives alone - away from his family and the family business, Dongin Foods. As far as work is concerned, he is full of confidence and active. He has found it difficult to be close to women ever since he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, Yoo-joo. However, he finds he is drawn to Eun-chan who befriends him.

Han Yoo-joo– Played by Chae Jung-an Yoo-joo is a stylish and sexy artist. The raven-haired beauty has been working actively in both New York and Seoul. She is liberal to the point of selfishness, wearing whatever fashion suits her taste. She makes friends with others quite easily but her unrestrained character often leads to loneliness. Deep inside, she is hurt easily and has trouble getting over it. She once loved Choi Han-seong but her passion for art causes her to break up with him and go to New York. She later goes back to Han-seong only to learn the painful truth - that he doesn’t feel the same way about her.

i give it two thumbs up! wonderful, refreshing drama!


we miss lee philip!!!!pls........ibalik! and hope sujini was still his partner grabe bagay na bagay kami..!!!hehe sila pala.


Nothing I could add the the outpouring of positive vibrations surrounding this funny, touching, fabulously engrossing drama could possibly do it justice. From the screenplay, to the direction of PD Lee, to the charming backdrops, the acting of each of the principal and supporting actors, the perfectly inspired soundtrack, and the international buzz created from the staggeringly unique performance of the seemingly limitless Yoon Eun Hye....this is Korean Drama at it's very best!! The numbers don't lie, and, as each vehicle is generally only as successful as it's star's ability to drive it; Coffee Prince, in it's infancy, could never even hope to have been able to benefit so much from one actress' rejection of a project to it's acceptance by another, unjustly dismissed, actress. With the lead role of Coffee Prince set to be awarded to the star of 200 Pounds of Beauty's Kim Ah-jung, fate, in the form of a contract with a hair care product that strictly forbade Miss Kim from shearing her locks, set the wheels in motion whereby the too-lightly-estimated product that is Yoon Eun Hye to turn away from her former (and too stingy and visionless) parent company and it's offer to star in Que Sera, Sera for an amount much less than is commensurate with her considerable talents and mass appeal. The company's loss became the world's gain!

As intimated before, a vehicle is only as good at reaching it's final destination as the driver's ability to get it there. And this vehicle sped to the finish line utilizing capable talents of the incredible Yoon Eun Hye. Never mind any other conjecture; there is, and only ever can be one "My Chan", "Your Chan"..."Our Chan." From the first moment that the slightly built, amazingly capable "Go Eun Chan" ripped off that motor cycle helmet and exclaimed to the ladies at the bathhouse. "I'm a girl!", the character became her and she the character.

And, oh what a girl! Can there be a limit to the potential of this singer/actress/model/spokesperson/idol/role-model? I'm not certain of the answer to that inquiry, but I am sure of this; I'll be along for every step of the way to find out. If First Shop Coffee Prince ends up being the high water mark in the career of fabulous Miss Yoon....it'll still be very, very deep water, indeed. Only the strongest of swimmers dare brave the kinds of depths such as these. But I'm certain that she could it while carrying Gong Yoo (and maybe even Lee Eon)on her back.
