The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"?

My Opinion:

This is one of the most fun Koreanovelas I've watched. The actors are charming and the story is light and amusing. While it revolves around two persons basically, the other characters aren't idle and are somehow involved in the story too. Quite a refreshing respite from the heavy Filipino telenovelas where there is a lot of screaming, hair pulling, etc.

It is shown every night after Marimar on GMA. But if, like me, you want to watch all of it quick, check out the following link which my son found for me: http://www.mysoju.com/the-1st-shop-of-coffee-prince/. He too has taken to watching it . The site has several other telenovelas and this morning, I started on Spring Waltz. Heard though that it is the last of the Endless Love series, therefore it's depressing.
