i'm so sad that it is over!!! :(

Ric (a friend of mine) was really an angel in disguise when he treated me with this DVD.. it is entitled "Coffee Prince" and it is a love story "koreanovela".. i have already heard about it on t.v. and some of my friends have watched it already.. so i wanted to see for myself what the story is really about.. like Hana Kimi, it is a story of a girl who poses as a guy just to have a job and ending up liking her manager.. well here's a brief plot on the story..

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.

** i love the story and i love the characters! i didn't even stop laughing or crying while i was watching the series.. no wonder it is a big hit in Korea.. well.. here are some of my favorite scenes.. where i cried the most..

>> in this scene Han Kyul, was at first holding back his feelings for Eun Chan.. because he thougth that she was a guy.. but he can't resist Eun Chan and ran back to the Cafe to tell her that no matter what he is a man or an alien, he would still love him.. isn't that sweet?! i cried in this scene.. huhu...

>> in this scene, Han Kyul was having some family problems so he invited Eun Chan to go to the beach to have some time off.. this was the time when he then confirmed that he had feeling for her.. but still is confused because at that time he still doesn't know that she is a girl..

>> i love this scene too!! this was the time that Han Kyul already knew she was a girl.. but i refuse to talk about how 'coz it was a sad part.. anyway, this was the time that Eun Chan wanted to become a "Barista" someone who is expert in making coffee and was given an opportunity to study abroad.. she didn't want to go since she would be leaving Han Kyul behind but Han Kyul said that it was the best for her and he will wait after she finish her studies.. ahw!! that's such a sweet thing! i cried again in this scene..

>> whoa! i was really shocked in this part.. it was days before Eun Chan would be leaving and Han Kyul really feels different when she's around.. (you know.. guys stuff).. and Eun Chan thought that since they wouldn't be seeing each other for a long time, they had to do it.. so they did it! :)

** i cried when i finished watching it.. i am so sad that it is over.. but i love this scene and i am so glad i found a video of it.. it was Han Kyul singing to Eun Chan over the phone.. it was just the sweetest thing.. ( i wish someone would do something like that to me)..
