やった!
I was finally able to finish up Coffee Prince. The last show I watched shared the plot point of a rich guy falling in love with a girl who was hiding a big secret. Kinda funny how similar the storylines were.
I'm not going to go into a comparison (and no, it was none of the remakes), but I'm just glad that I was able to finish it up.
I feel like I'm making myself sound bored and relieved of the shows ending...
(Guess the gloomy weathers getting to me)
In actuality, It was a sweet show that I would recommend to anyone.
Here's some more about it...

Story 〆(・∀・@): I'm not going to review the synopsis since... you know... it's right up there. I'm going to admit that the love story is so refreshing, and I adore it so much. It's not just about a guy loving a girl but two people loving each other despite their gender. Yeah, I know that it's still a story about a male and a female, but they started liking each other before one found out. They tackled the struggle some people have of same-sex relationships as well as not relying too much on the rich guy/poor women trope that is practically plastered in every show. The side characters were also lovable. All the staff at the Coffee Prince were unique and defined, which allowed you to grow attached easily. Each had their own desires and problems that didn't center around the leading duo. Even so, they had a connection with each other that made it seem like they're really just friends going through love troubles.
They were also pretty cute, so the girly side of me very much approved.
I wasn't a big fan of all the side stories though. Sometimes it felt like the writers wanted to keep side plots going along with the main one but didn't have enough material to do so. Therefore there was a feeling of repetitively to them. I would've loved it if the stories were a bit more diverse and exciting so that I wouldn't have had lost interest.
This problem started to affect the show in the latter half too—just the constant sense of being repetitive. But the show made up for it by providing cute squeal-worthy romance moments and friendly interactions that made you just want to sit and watch for hours.

Acting 。゜(`Д')゜。: In my last review, I spent waaaay to much time talking about the actors, so hopefully I can keep this short and sweet. The two leads fit their characters perfectly. I'm already a huge Gong Yoo fan, so I had high expectations for him. Expectations that he met quite easily. He has a knack for playing characters that develop over time. His expressions and mannerisms match Choi Han-gyul to a tea. Yoon Eun-hye was also perfect for her role. She really was able to pull off the whole fake manliness thing. I've seen shows where the girl pretending to be a boy but looks too feminine and unbelievable. But Eun-hye had the body language, looks, and personality of someone truly resembling a male. But when she needs to, she can end up looking like a beautiful woman. Just the vast amount of possibilities with her appearance fits the character. Together, the two leads had fantastic chemistry and showed what love truly is. The side characters, as I mentioned earlier, all were interesting in their way. That's all thanks to the actors. I could see how comfortable they were with each other, which made the show feel more real.

Music ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪: Duh Duh DAH!!! Music time baby!
I'm not going to say I liked all the music. It was all average sounding to me. But the reason I'll give it credit is because it matches the setting so well. It wasn't just happy and sad music that played when needed. It had somewhat of a calming sense to it, which is something you'd actually find in a coffee shop. I'm sure there were different types of songs that I'm just not remembering, but that usually means that they were nothing special. The opening song was light and cheery, but one line kind of sounded like something else. Nothing terrible but every time I heard it I thought the singers were saying: ♪ Just how much did that mustard pray for you ♪
It doesn't make sense and isn't relevant to this review at all... but I nonstop thought of it, so now I shall spread the confusion. :)

Other (ง°ل͜°)ง: I usually use this portion of the review to voice my opinion on the show's topic. For example, I talked about the supernatural part of the show when reviewing Oh My Ghostess. I've never worked at a cafe or had a job in that type of business. But I'll admit that its nice to see the coffee shop rise from nothing. It's like watching a kid grow up (maybe not as life-changing, but still an enjoyable growth sequence). The show is pretty overdramatic with a few things, but it never makes it feel like too much. It's a very down to earth relaxing show that you never have to tear your hair out about. So a toast to that!

For the first time, I feel like my review is at a decent length.
Will that happen again? Let's hope so!
In all fairness, this show is nothing surprising and doesn't have much of a heavy bone. The romance is cute, and the characters are sweet. A perfect show if you just want to relax..... with... let's say a cup of coffee.
I recommend it to anyone interested in romance.
As for me, I'm gonna go catch up on some much-needed crime thrillers.
Happy Watching <3
