The First Shop of Coffee Bean Prince Synopsis

KOREAN DRAMA "THE FIRST SHOP OF COFFEE BEAN PRINCE

I love this drama, one of my favorite. This Korean Drama's title is "The First Shop of Coffee Bean Prince " and the story is about a girl who looks like a man, her name is Go Eun Chan Chan (Yoon Eun Hye). She must work hard to support her mother and her sister finding more money for their life. She can do anything like become a milkman who deliver some milk in houses in the morning and she is also sewing many doll’s eyes in the night. Those activities, make her grow up as a tomboyish girl.

She involuntarily met Han Kyul (Gong Yoo), a handsome and rich man who has just returned to Korea after finishing his study in abroad. It all started when Han Kyul misunderstood and accused Eun Chan conspiring with a pickpocket to steal Han Kyul’s girl friend. Certainly Eun Chan did not accept Han Kyul accusation and she went to the hotel where Han Kyul stayed the night and she asked the compensation for her bike which was damaged by Han Kyul. When Han Kyul saw Eun Chan who looks like a guy, suddenly he got the idea to manipulate Eun Chan to pretend being his girlfriend, then he would have an accuse to disagree with a match set by his grandmother. In this case, Han Kyul did not know that Eun Chan actually is a girl because her "chest" is very flat.

Eun Chan finally agreed pretending to be Han Kyul’s boyfriend, since she needed much money. When the couple day came, Eun Chan was wearing a man’s dress and she went with Han Kyul to meet the girl who were made a match with Han Kyul. That girl was so angry as she thought Han Kyul is gay. At a different times, since Eun Chan often delivered a bottle of milk to a customer who later known as Han Kyul's cousin. He is a music producer Choi Han Seong who was broken-hearted because the girl he loves left him for another man, and his cousin Han Kyul silently also fall in love with her for about 9 years.

Seeing this, Han Kyul's grandmother finally told him to manage a cafe that has been bankrupt and give him a time limit of 3 months to make it rise again as a famous cafe. Han Kyul finally asked Eun Chan to help him managing the cafe and he was also helped by some friends. Since all employees are "male" then the cafe was named 'Coffee Prince' Finally Coffee Prince was running well, and the relationship between Han Kyul and Eun Chan was getting closer.

Han Kyul slowly was interested in Eun Chan, he falls in love with Eun Chan. He was so confused, and frustrated, he thought he falls in love with a guy ‘Eun Chan’. He was detaining his feeling and he also went to the psychologist because he was having inner conflict, he thought that he had a sexual disorder because he liked Eun Chan as a guy. Actually, Go Eun Chan also has the same feeling. She falls in love with Han Kyul but she just hold it, she didn’t want her identity known as she still need to work in coffee to get some money for her family. Only the manager who know that she is a woman.

Han Kyul couldn’t stand with this situation and he eventually avoided not to meet Eun Chan by not coming to the cafe for a while but it only made him in suffer because he couldn’t forget Eun Chan. Han Kyul really couldn’t stand detaining his feeling and on one night when the other employees had gone home he was reckless kissing Eun Chan and he said that he did not care about anything right now, because he could not stand what his feeling to Eun Chan.

The next day Eun Chan promised herself that she would tell her real identity to Han Kyul and she hoped Han Kyul would understand and accept all her explanation. But Han Kyul was very angry and very disappointed because he felt he had been lied by Eun Chan and asked Eun Chan to resign from the Coffee Prince. Eun Chan tried to explain that she didn’t mean to lie to him. She explained the reason why were all happen, and she also assisted by another café employees who took part in persuading Han Kyul forgiving Eun Chan. And finally, Han Kyul forgave Eun Chan and they became a couple like most of people who are dating.
