i’ve just finished to watch this drama because i’m curious about why most people remmended this drama.
I think the story line was boring and very predictable, sorry it’s just my opinion. I don’t like when Han Kyul loves Eun Chan as a man. That’s ridiculous.
I’ve seen many drama which has a lot better than this.
But overall this drama was quite entertaining and Eun Hye act perfect,like always.

thumps up you still watching Coffee Prince even after all these years!!!
**( 5 years to be exact)
Gong yoo where when and how can I see you playing Han Kyul again. You occupies a big space of my heart. A man I dreamt to meet soon, but whatever you are doing right now, im praying for your happiness.
).
you will be one of the reasons why I want to go to Korea ( with ofcouse Leeminho on the list).
Coffee Prince still number one. It topped everything!! its where korean drama started ( in my opinion and experience ofcourse)
you are always welcome in the Philippines ( all of you).
Godbless

If you have watched ‘He’s woman, she’s a man’ by Leslie Cheung Kok Wing and Anita Yuen Wing Yee, this drama isn’t that peculiar to you. In fact, I wonder why the Korean audience made a big fuss as it is no big deal. I am very biased to adore that movie version more. The part where Eun Hye impersonates as a guy reminds me of how Yuen does it. This movie is hard to watch and hard to forget.
