Coffee Prince Episode 14 Recap

[Gaby Zenz]

EunChan first encounters Han Sung when she greets his dog while delivering milk. On the other side of the fence, he hears her talk affectionately with the dog (and this is how he knows that Eun Chan is female, since she refers to herself as a girl). Curious, he goes out to see her as she bicycles away.

Wow, just visiting you in wordpress.com today and a litte bit late to know you that you've already moved. What a cute name.

With four dramas in the beginning of the week, just want to say :Thanks for your super dee duper summary.

sarah.. thanks for this wonderful recap... hehe.. so happy.. thank you dearest.. yes yes.. AC can definitely wait.. * wink wink*.. ehehe.. you've brought me so much joy * giving sarahbeans one BIG BEAR hug*

i watched it live last night, then also downloaded it and read everything in soompi but i just can't get enough of this drama :) found it really funny (but then i'm probably biased coz i love YEH).

i don't understand the language but i was able to follow the gist but it really helps when there are a lot of people who explains and summarizes the eps while we are waiting for the subs to come out :)

and it did well on the ratings so i'm very happy :)

hope even with the kdrama cliches, people will watch this and enjoy!

thanks again Sarah!

Thank you!

As I was reading the summary, I was counting all the cliche in my head and lo and behold, you made a list of them at the end... awesome! hehee.

It's also hilarious and cute how you give the male characters nickname... "mr. swoony velvety voice, Deep Resonant Voice.." and in flowers "mr. sexy bedroom eyes.." LOL..

Anon#2, I am quite sure I'm not losing anything by not finding her gorgeous. And if you gain something by seeing her beauty, then congratulations to you. But there's no need to get defensive - I was only stating an opinion.

Thanks sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for the summary, tides me over till subs come out. God I love Korean dramas, even the predictable ones, as long as they are fun and make me laugh I don't always need to learn something from them ^_^

All right, I don't think we have to get into an argument over whether Yoon Eun Hye is actually pretty. I am not a particular fan, and I think her acting's only average, but I think she's got a beautiful face (which I'm only giving as my opinion) given that she's one of Korea's few "natural beauties" -- and please let's not get into an argument over whether or not that's true! In any case, I think she's lovely without makeup; here are some "saeng-ul" (barefaced, aka no-makeup) photos and you can see if you agree. Or not. We don't have to argue about it. saeng-ul pic 1, saeng-ul pic 2.

thank you for the ep.1 summary. i was never really interested in this drama esp. because by what i've read about it, it's too typical of a korean drama for me. however, i discovered Lee Sun Kyun as i was researching this drama and am engage by him (really, i don't know why...maybe cause of his voice). additionally, Yoon Eun Hye was good in Vineyard Man so i don't think i should totally avoid this drama. thank you once again.

also, i found it really hilarious how you always added a comment about Lee Sun Kyun's deep voice, whenever you mentioned his character, Han Sung. honestly, i'm watching this drama for LSY...Gong Yoo never sparked my interest much.

thankies sarahhhhh! :D im sorry as cliche this drama maybe at some point, i loveeee the cast. how can i not? LSG? GY? sighhh.. swoons.. lol. kidding aside, i think they have good story going. plus i think this drama wont be ur typical one. the story sort or resembles the taiwan drama hana kimi which was also popular but the concept of the girl pretending to be a guy here is different coz everyone started of confusing her to be a guy. i say go with the flow, i wont expect but look forward to it. :D

Thank you so much for doing the summary for this (what I hope to be) fun drama! As I've mentioned over and over again, and I'll mention it again, reading your summary is always such a great pleasure!

I first saw Mr. Deep Resonant Voice in Taereung National Village (where he's one of the four leads) and like him heaps. It's not just the 'swoony velvety voice' but also his natural acting. And the twinkle in his eyes when he's amused. Will watch Coffee Prince just for him.^^ Thanks for the recap, sarahbeans. *muahk*

I agree with you about the cliches....there are so many in this drama, yet, i cant help myself to be curious about it and want to watch it....it reminds me of Hana Kimi, except i like the fact that in this version, it is the male lead who does not know she is really a girl, so that should be interesting.....

i just hope they dont make this one of those dramas that start off really good and interesting but then drags on the second half once the plot unfolds....i mean, how long will it take him to realize she is a girl and fall for her?....i dont know, i have a feeling this will become redundant after an interesting first half...i really hope i am wrong though, and that the writers are smart and do not just go for a simple repetitive plot....the theme of this drama has so much potential, i hope they do not ruin it and pull a Witch Yoo Hee on us, now THAT was a drama that had so much potential but became unbearably ridiculous towards the second half.....

Yay! Thanks so much Javabeans. Your capping this series is the perfect birthday gift cos my birthday is coming up on 16. So so so thank you like a million times. I love Eun Hye esp her last drama was Man in the vineyard. I think she's adorable in this role even if the storyline sounds similar to Hana kimi.

Thanks so much for the summary - I love LOVE love YOUR summaries!

They are so great that I have not actually watched Flowers or Bad Couple.. just read your recaps etc.

This one I do want to try watching.. even though that will make it the 5th series I am following at the moment.. I am hoping that YEH does a better and more believable job than Ella in the girl-playing-boy role.. (Ella is still pretty awesome though)

Kudos ^^

A Mexican Soap opera, called "novelas" in my latin world, with a similar plot was aired a couple of years ago, but in the novela, she dressed as a boy to get a job, but lived also as a girl, and told everybody they were twins, and the male lead became best friends with her, as a boy, and also atracted,. This one im liking it because is kind of different and i love her work since the vineyard man, and goong, she is a great actress, and a great singer.

Ok so i cannot stop laughing, not so much because of the show but the cliches, because you are so right! The show is quite entertaining though, i know many people are comparing it to hana kimi but i could never actually get around to watching that. This has more charm and less of a childish theme. Thanks for the summary, i hope you continue as am hooked now.

ooh i agree. yoon eun hye's acting is average, based on goong. she is not drop dead beautiful, but yes, gorgeous, cute, and pretty. i like her because she is very charming. anw, i don't know if she's a natural beauty though. at the height of my craziness over goong, i surfed for photos of joo ji hoon and yoon eun hye, and found yeh used to be fat and her nose quite big. i am hypothesizing that she had a nose job. since even if you lose weight your nose won't shrink. great toned body though. i wish i could have her body and legs!

Well I tried but I'm just not impressed with the story. Another drama with endless misunderstandings/bickering. There were some good points. Lead Girl - overrated, in my opinion. Yes she is impersonating a guy but I don't really see a stretch in the acting. Just is just so-so. May give it one or two more episodes

Wow- just wanted to say "thanks" for a fabulous summary. I've been phsyched several months for this drama (I've liked YEH since Goong+VYM). Right now I'm watching episode 1 w/ chinese subs (except i speak neither chinese or korean so i still can't understand) so i've been surfing forums and stuff for clarification. Someone posted a link to your blog and I'm so glad b/c you've cleared up my confusion. Well written and humorous, I really enjoyed reading this synopsis and I hope you continue them. I know there's a lot of hype for this drama but I really hope it lives up to everyones high expectations!

I find that it's mostly Song Hye Gyo fans who LOVE to put Yoon Eun Hye down and I know why. Whether they wanna admit it or not, they hate the fact that YEH is the only one of the very few actresses who can beat SHG in certain polls.

i find myself reading more and more of ur summaries, and i love reading others' comments...i guess i'm bored, but they are interesting

it's funny how people compare it to hana kimi (the story is really different and the target audience is different as well)

haha and yah..han sung, when i first looked at him i was like ehh, but when he started talking..i was like WOOOOOOOO

hmm im not more of a song hye gyo fan than yoon eun hye's fan and i dont know much about those polls, but i dont find her drop dead gorgeous. and yet i love her. she seems down to earth and is charming; i dont think i have to find her beautiful or really like her acting to appreciate her charm.

isn't it nice to see YEH in a different light, in a different acting style???..AWAY FROM HER-BECOMING-TRADEMARK-CUTESY-SO-GIRLIE ROLE!! =p .....the twist makes the cliche away!!!..hahaha!... just hope the series won't disappoint us in the near future!..more interesting episodes for CP! =)

somehow, this line reminds me of this j-drama, hana kimi which coincidentally, is currently being shown over in japan. yikes. fortunately, i haven't watched enough of both dramas to make a comparison between the lead actresses though both of them have similar characters - girl dressing up as a boy.

He deliberately brings up the name Yu Ju to provoke Eun Chan, and she gets the message, leaving right away. Han Sung walks her home as she tells him despondently how Han Gyul wants her to quit work. Starting to cry, Eun Chan explains:
