First Korean Drama - Coffee Prince Review

If like me maybe you loved Kpop music and you are thinking about watching a Korean drama, where do you start because they are so many drama's out there. For me I just searched on youtube video's, read comments and I don't really know why but I decided to watch Coffee Prince.

I can say I was intrugued by the first episode and hooked by the 3rd episode but by the 6th episode my ovaries had exploded and I was soo in love with this series that my life stopped.

This was just perfect...Like the main girl  and the guy deserve Oscars and every award on earth. It was so emotional and well-scripted and your heart beats fast, you laugh, scream, cry. I don't think I have ever seen anything so beautiful in my life and I have watched a lot of shows. It reminded of the Notebook except if Ryan Gosling was the rich one. I think their chemistry was what sold me.

If you are contemplating watching this shows, watch it now, Watch it NOW! Just search Korean drama and the first two links worked for me. Also, get adblock if you are at it.

So now go and watch it and you can come back and thank me later.

This is the spoilers section.......please do not ruin it for yourself and go watch the show.




I went to sleep very late or should I say very early in the morning because of this show. I felt like I was in some bubble watching their lives go on and I enjoyed myself.

I am going to talk about the main male character on the show, I will say Mr.Choi,lol. I think I was so used to these I guess pretty chiseled boys from Kpop bands like 2pm or beast or even big bang that when I saw I saw Gong Yoo, his real name it took me like a minute to fall in love with him. I loved the way he looked at her and the way he smiled and laughed at her. Even when he got jealous of other guys. He really loved her and even when they argued.


If I could pick three moments that I loved about him I would choose.


1) When she fell asleep and he looked at her and wanted to touch her. I think for me that moment is special because that's when he realised that he loved her even though she was a he to him.


2)When she was in the wedding dress and his reaction when he saw her. She looked so beautiful like a princess and his reaction is how every woman wants a man to look when he sees his wife to be.

3)This was a hard one but I have to would say for me it was the sex scene because of how he reacted to not wanting to have her there and how they looked at each other before they kissed and then the kiss and lifting her up. It was just.....*sighh* Magic. Just Magic.

Gong Yoo is not a normal man his just a Superior man, his 6 feet tall exactly,(I had to google the cm when they mentioned it on the show) This style was always, ALWAYS on point and his body. Oh my days, like his body is....no words. And his face is beautiful. God clearly took his sweet time on him.

Okay, lets move on to the leading lady. I will call My Chan,lol. Yoon Eun hye deserves an Oscar for her acting skills. Wow! She was outstanding and I see why she cried at the end of filming in the video I saw on you tube. I am emotional after watching it I can't imagine how she feels after months of playing this character so well. I loved her personality and the fact that she worked hard to provide for her family and always looked on the bright side no matter what.

Her three favorite moments with me are

1)When she was crying on the bus home from the exhibit show. I felt her pain in my heart and the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you.

2)I loved the scene when she blows in his face to wake him up and when she blows in her hair. That was cute when he kept on remembering that part and then he told her to stop and then he started blowing in his hair.

3) This is not one scene but I loved her interactions with the other guys in the coffee shop. The jokes, the teasing around and the arguments. I think when she was leaving and they all came in and hugged her. I loved that.

I liked when Gong the main guy character said that he stayed because of the people that he worked with. He loved going to work with them and the reason why he liked making toys was because he could be on his own and to me that stayed with me because he was happy, in love and going to work. She didn't need or she didn't go clubbing, get drunk, they did get drunk and he passed out. Lol, that was funny when she carried him home twice.

The casting was good, I loved everyone in the show from the grandmother to all the other workers. They all had different personalities and it just worked.

I really enjoyed myself watching this show and now I am having a dilemma as to if I should watch another KA drama or not. I don't even know if it was a good idea to watch such an amazing show first. How will the others compare? Will there be another couple with this much chemistry as these two. Will they be another superior guy as Gong Yoo. *drools*


If I was to watch other shows  I think I will try Secret Gardens, Boys over flowers, Goong in that order.

Going into my final year of university

I made it, I am going into my final year of university. It is nothing like I expected. I could not have predicted this ever happening even if I wanted to. I have made friends and I have shared experiences with them that I will remember for a long time. I have fallen in love sadly with someone who wasn't ready but in the process I have learn't a lot about myself and the fact that I have changed. I am not the same girl I was when I was in high school. I have lost friends and I have gained friends at the same time.

My second year was filled with sadness and a lot of tears and failures. I was lost and I thought a lot about how I had to be like this or achieve this so that I can finally be accepted and now I just don't care. I am going to be me and I know they are people I am going to meet in the next year or 2 years that are going to make me happy.

From my blog just reading my posts you can tell that I have struggled with my career options. What do I want to do with my life. Do I want to be an accountant, recruitment consultant, financial trader, business owner.....

I have gotten this far in my life without this much stress. Maybe the stress is good. Honestly, right now I am going to focus on just getting a 1st or 2.1 in my final year. I am going to be focused and work hard so that I can achieve something. I imagine opening that envelope or clicking on the results and seeing a 1st degree. I have to aim high and reach for the stars. I am going to do this....
