Coffee Prince keyart1
Coffee Prince
Han Kyul (Gong Yoo, One Fine Day) hates to be tied down in life. Refusing to settle down or join the family’s food empire, he is ordered by his grandmother to manage an ailing café.

Unable to disobey his grandmother, Han Kyul takes over the café and starts building a gourmet coffee business. And to escape the blind dates that his grandmother arranges for him, Han Kyul hires the debt-ridden Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye, Princess Hours) – whom he mistakes to be a man – to pose as his “lover” in a desperate attempt to prove he is not interested in women.

As Eun Chan joins him to work at the café, sparks starts to fly between the two but Han Kyul - still oblivious to the fact that she is a girl – gets really worried about falling in love with ‘him’ for real…

More turbulence is set to arise as Yoo Joo (Chae Jung-an, Emperor of the Sea), the girl that Han Kyul was secretly in love with, returns from the US after breaking up with Han Kyul’s cousin Han Seong (Lee Sun Gyun, White Tower).
