Lee Jin Soo made it big after writing several thriller novels and establishing himself as a talented novelist. He works for Seo Eun Young, the owner of the biggest publishing company in Korea, and has a long-time friendship with her. Lee Jin Soo has lots of fans, especially female ones, and he seems to be the perfect match for any woman… but what no one knows is that he is actually a bit weird and sarcastic, has lots of strange habits, and holds a dark secret. The one who has to cope with him and his habits is his secretary, Kang Seung Yeon, who begged him for this job to become a pro instead of the below-average girl that she really is. On top of that, there is also the return of Han Ji Won, Seo Eun Young’s ex-fiance, whom she despises. Han Ji Won is trying to get Seo Eun Young back, but she has her eyes set on Lee Jin Soo.

this drama is super fun to watch..laughing all the time and touching at the same time..with all korean movie / drama i had watched this is the most weird yet funny and you’ll really going to think what will happen next..super love the story but sort of not satisfied coz didn’t show if dong wook and seong yeon end up together and im starting to love dong wook..lolz..but the rest of it is really good..kang ji hwan gave justification to a weird, mean and sarcastic writer..actually at first i thought this movie is not that good but it turns out that this is not good coz it’s better than good..one of the best movie done by kang ji hwan second to lie to me..i really love it!!!:)

I really like this drama…very very exciting and make me not stop for laughing and never boring to watch again and again.
I like acting’s KJH. I believe, KJH’ll be the great actor in future.
Now, I’m looking for DVD/blu-ray of “90 days, time for love”. KJH acting with Kim Ha Neul. I think, KHN is also one of the great actress. They also join together in “my girlfriend is an agent”‘s movie.
Is there anybody can help me or give me info, where can I buy DVD/blu ray of “90 days, Time for Love” ? Thanks before

Another comedy drama featuring a stupid young girl who acts like a baby, a handsome guy who puts up with her and other thongs around it. These Korean writers really cannot write anything else or they just do not deviate from the same story over and over and over again. Simply stupid!!

Was watching Lie to Me and had to stop. Was boring. Since I saw the same actress Yoon something or other in Coffee Prince, I could not watch her again. Besides the main guy is really not good looking nor interesting and she is too freaky. Now I am watching this one because I like stories about coffee houses but this coffee house is horrible looking.oh well I am on the first episode, maybe it will get better.

Very funny, very enjoyable and unique (kang seung yeon is super secretary)

woah,how can I forget this drama..I remember throwing out my dvd copy of this drama..I spend a lot of time watching this drama coz i really like kang ji hwan on the drama series “Lie to me” w/c so far its one of my favorite korean series apart from save the last dance & winter sonata..but to my dis appointment when kang ji hwan and ham eun jung didn’t end up together at the end..this is one of those korean drama w/ unfavorable ending..were i’d rather choose to watch a drama were one will die at the end loving the same person rather than they were both alive but will not end up together..just saying..

I truely madly love this drama especially Kang Ji Hwan and Park Si Yeon. I would love to watch this couple acting together in many series and movies. They are my besties. :*
August 11th, 2012 at 3:22 pm
it will show in the philippines
August 20th, 2012 at 11:52 am
I love Kang Ji Hwan but the ending of Coffee House is depressing, I was hoping that Lee Jin Soo will end up with Kang Seung Yeon but instead the other way around,huhuhu… I like Lie to Me more. Sorry to say but its concept is more great than the Coffee House.

I don’t like this series. It is quite boring and disconnected. I stopped watching it after the third episode.
October 30th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
hi dhee_! Im agree with what u said that kang ji hwan and
ham eun jung they are not together at the end. Im expecting that they were end up together. It’s crazy!! We have the same like in drama series like winter sonata.
October 31st, 2012 at 12:10 am
I like KJH…but i dont like the ending too..:(
November 8th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Bad drama. Wasting money n time. Not recommended! *twothumbsdown*
November 21st, 2012 at 6:25 pm
so much like this drama in first, ‘coz funny and have handsome Kang Ji Hwan. But feel bad when the actress is Park Si Yun (sorry -boring to see her hehe). Like so much when Kang Ji Hwan with Yoon Eun Hye ((handsome and beautiful)
)

i don’t think lee jin soo character fits with kang ji hwan. i love kang ji hwan as an actor but i believe this drama is not good enough unlike any ohter kang ji hwan’s project mind & face, be strong geum soon most of all lie to me. i’ve been following all of kang ji hwan’s drama series and movie because of lie to me and that’s how i came to watch coffee house and in all fairness to those who liked coffee house. i’m sad to say it’s not that good enough. but still i will continue supporting my idol kang ji hwan in all his project and i’m so excited to watch “incarnation of money”

I don’t like the ending of this .. I was expecting that kang ji hwan will fall in love with her secretary Ham Eun Jung . tsk2

I’m little dissapointed for the ending of Coffee House.. I Bet the Writer & Secretary relationship than the Writer & President..
I enjoy every scene of Mr. Writer and Ms. Secretary than the Scene of Mr. Writer & Ms. President.. ^_^v

Ji won is such a fool and ugly too. He is so terrible that I cannot imagine how anyone could like him.
Also, the assistant, I do not like her, she is so stupid! Actually they should have paired those two together. They are both annoying characters.
February 20th, 2013 at 2:15 am
You people must be kidding about the writer liking that stupid secretary. I found her annoying from the very beginning. How can anyone like someone so stupid. She had no originality, that is how dumb she was and she copied the writer in everything he said. Then she considered herself a writer, but she was too dumb to even notice that a young rich guy liked her.
March 1st, 2013 at 11:11 am
wow….i really love this drama…. i love the ending soooo much…. it will be a disappointment if the writer and the secretary will end up together…. OMG.
