Hmm…
What can I say?... This drama has left me speechless. The storyboard and
casting are simply great. I loved the acting skills of all the cast. It’s just
so realistic. When I read about this drama I thought “Ahhrg… Just another ‘Girl-Pretending-Boy’
rubbish. Oh what the hell I will just watch it for the namesake”. After the 1st
episode: “Damn… I was soooo wrong..” And took the next day off from work and
watched the whole drama for 17 hours without sleeping.. Fell in love with Yoon
Eun-hye and I have decided to watch all her dramas in the future.
Note:- I personally
think Yoon Eun-hye is a great kisser….LOL…

Choi
Han-gyul (Gong Yoo) is a third generation son of a food chaebol. He has never
had a job and does not care for responsibility. Han-gyul is hung up on his
first love, Han Yoo-joo (Chae Jung-an), and certainly doesn't want to get
married despite his family's requests. On the other hand, Go Eun-chan (Yoon
Eun-hye) is a 24-year-old tomboy who is often mistaken for a guy. She takes up
every job possible: Taekwondo teacher, waitress, food delivery, and has the
responsibility of taking care of her childish, spendthrift mother and
trouble-making younger sister. When Han-gyul and Eun-chan meet, he, not knowing
that she is a girl, decides to hire her to pretend to be his gay lover so that
he can escape the blind dates arranged by his grandmother.
Meanwhile,
Han-gyul's cousin, Choi Han-seong (Lee Sun-gyun), is an established music
producer and his ex-girlfriend, Han Yoo-joo, is a famous artist who studied in
New York. The two were lovers for about 8 years, but their relationship ended
when Yoo-joo left Han-seong for another man. Two years after they separate,
their paths cross again when she returns to Seoul. Han-seong is initially angry
at her, but he succumbs to his lingering feelings and they start to date again.
After
getting an ultimatum from his grandmother, Han-gyul takes over a rundown old
coffee shop, later renamed "Coffee Prince," to prove that he's
capable, both to his grandmother and to Yoo-joo. In order to attract female
customers, he only hires good-looking male employees. Eun-chan, desperate for
money, continues to hide her gender to get a job at Coffee Prince.
Eun-chan
also become friends with Han-seong, and she is initially attracted to him
because of his kindness. Han-seong also enjoys spending time with her, and an
impulsive kiss that he gives her causes him and Yoo-joo to break up for a short
time.
Soon,
feelings start to develop between Eun-chan and Han-gyul. Because he's unaware
that she is a woman, he starts to question his sexuality and is thrown into
turmoil. When he discovers her secret, he feels hurt and betrayed. However, he
eventually forgives her and they begin to date. They face strong opposition
from his family due to her family’s lower status, but when Han-gyul's
grandmother meets Eun-chan, she is impressed by her independence and ambition.
She helps pay for Eun-chan to study in Italy to become a barista. After two
years of a long-distance relationship, a more stylish Eun-chan returns to Korea
and Han-gyul.
