i love how love hits joo-won in the face without realizing that it's love... his constant hanging around gil ra im won him gil ra im's heart..
gil ra im, knowing that a love with joo-won is impossible as they are from different worlds.. she's a realist but joo-won's persistency broke her shield.
oska and joo-won's constant bickering is just so funny that i always look forward to it.. highly recommended...^^
Choi Han-kyul (Gong Yoo) is a third generation son of a food chaebol. He has never had a job and does not care for responsibility. Han-kyul is hung up on his first crush, 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 mother, who has trouble not spending money, and younger
sister. When Han-kyul 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-kyul'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-kyul takes over a rundown old coffee shop, later renamed 'Coffee Prince', to prove his ability, 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 has also becomes 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-kyul. Because he's unaware that she is a woman, he starts to question his sexuality and is thrown in 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-kyul’s grandmother meets Eun-chan, she is impressed by her independence and ambition. She helps pay for her 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-kyul.
