Grazie Viki
L'ho cercato in lungo e largo e finalmente Viki mi è venuto in aiuto.Ho appena finito di guardare Coffee Prince, con altissime aspettative per quanto ne avevo sentito parlare bene. Ed è cosi!
E' praticamente entrato nella mia top 10, diciamo che buona parte del merito la si deve a Gong Yoo, fantastico.
In questo drama troverete tutto ciò che cercate: simpatia, drammaticità, amore e amicizia. Il tutto perfettamente bilanciato da un cast eccezionale, tutti con delle storie personali diverse tra loro.
Ho divorato il drama in solo due giorni, senza skippare nulla, non mi capitava da moltissimo tempo.
La storia segue un flusso lineare, nessun avvenimento eclatante ed è chiara dall'inizio.
Un amore difficile, complesso, così forte da farti mettere in discussione tutto di te (e dico proprio tutto).
Guardatelo, non potete perdervelo e credetemi non ve ne pentirete.

cute, funny, comforting
It's 2022 already and I thought that I will watch such an old drama :).Even though the production is different from what we see now, it is so good too watch and (at least for me) the quality wasn't a bother at all. When it comes to the story it's really unique and precious. The couple made my heart warm too many times. There was something different in those romantic moments between Eun-chan and Han-gyeol. These moments are really pure and throught the series you can feel that some of them weren't scripted.
If you like something light, funny and comforting, give it a chance and you won't regret it :)

One of the best!
The first few Kdrama I watched and totally in love with it! Moreover, I end up in a huge crush with Gong Yoo!!! This drama gives me butterflies with the gender neutral situation and realising gender doesn't matter. Many times I think it's beautiful given that it was showing in 2007. Until today I still think that Gong Yoo should be with Yoon Eun-Hye (she's so cute) and they make a great match.With this drama, casts like Kim Dong-Wook and Kim Jae-Wook caught my eye and still continue supporting them till today. The drama is so fun, engaging and no dull moments, I still misses the whole squad.

I had a hard time finding k-dramas that satisfied me after this!
The chemistry, main story, sidestory, and comedic side to everything was in perfect balance. It never bored me. A really wonderful, summery and light watch. The sidestory is great, although more mature in a way. It really balances the entire thing out. This is a K-drama must see, for anyone of any age!

Wholesome, Nostalgic & Feel Good Drama
Ah, I completed this drama in 2 years. Yes, I started it in November 2021 and watched 15 episodes, and then in January 2024, I completed the other two remaining episodes. And I can say it is one of the best dramas you see. If you're someone with a low attention span or ADHD, you probably won't like it.Because it's like a slow melody, like how Korean dramas used to be back in the day. The acting, cast, and story are all fulfilling. Gong Yoo is hands-down the best Korean actor for me.
I really wish it would have had 20 episodes because this drama has potential. But nonetheless, I recently finished it, and I recommend it to every human being to watch these wholesome 17 episodes. You can have a better story, you can bring a better cast, and you can bring better directors, but still, nothing beats this 2007 show, even after 17 years. I'm so ecstatic, and I thank God every day for introducing me to Korean dramas. I love you, Gong Yoo!!

Classic for a reason
This is such a massive underhanded criticism of homophobia that uses heteronormativity to make its point, I love it.Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun-hye. They're so cute! No wonder the former became such a big star in Korea.
The secondary leads are the main reason why I can't give this a perfect score. The character played by Lee Sun-kyun (RIP…) was annoying and the actor didn't do a very good job in my opinion. He was over-acting his scenes and he never came across as believable to me. That was one of his first roles though, as he would go on to have much better roles in the future, namely in Parasite.
However, the others did a good job.
I love it when people mistakenly answer the phone with something other than the phone itself. This time, it's a toy cube. If I remember correctly, the other times I've seen this so far are in Dreaming the Reality (1991) (Sibelle Hu answers a Coca-Cola can) and The Stunt Woman (1996) (Michelle Yeoh answers a brush). These are the only other such instances I can recall right now. Fun gag.
It's strange because, although the writing is a bit forced, contrived and overly dramatic sometimes, I would still praise the writing in this show, mainly because they managed to make realistic, believable characters that feel human and unique. They all have quirks that make them endearing, even if sometimes the story forces them to act in a certain way. It's an odd dichotomy but it is what it is. Imperfect writing can still manage to be absolutely great when it sets its aims high enough.
If you're trying to flee the soap-opera cliché nature of kdrama (especially the OST, this one is refreshingly silent in all the dramatic moments), then this should be your next destination.
I'm not queer and/or LGBTQ+ so it's hard for me to say whether it's good representation.
But it's a killer gender-bender story for sure. Hella hard to beat on that front.

I can totally understand how this show influenced the drama world, as it has that iconic feeling, despite the simpleness.
I looooved Gong Yoo in this, although it wasn't my favorite performance of his; his character was so funny!! I saw real development. Honestly, I loved every character. Usually, female characters in older dramas are difficult to like but "My Chan" (lol again haha) was really likeable and a good character.
It has its flaws and it isn't a drama that I would rewatch (at least for now), but I can see its quality and value, specially since it was released 12 years ago!
Don't regret watching it at all.

Marathoned this series.
Of course it was slow and boring at times, and I didn't really like the side characters romance because it quite annoyed me a bit. Except for that japanese guy, that guy was awesome. Anyway, it's still worth the the slow parts, also because of how lovely the actors are, especially the main girl!

I really liked the story. Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye definitely need to do another k-drama, or even a movie, together. They're awesome! <3

Lying about 'insert lie here' past the point of it being logical. JUST TELL THE TRUTH ALREADY!

Interesting premise but slow pacing
I have to say I watched this 12 years after it was first released so I'm comparing this drama to all the good dramas that have come out in the recent years.I was really excited to watch this drama because of the hype. Everyone was giving it 10/10 which made me want to watch it even more. The first few episodes had so much potential. I was laughing and was very intrigued but to my disappointment, it only lasted for the first few episodes. The pacing is way too slow. They showed unnecessary scenes to fill out the episodes.
There was so much angst between the main leads. The male lead was a jerk. He was treating her like a piece of trash. That's not how you treat someone that you like. But still she liked him. If I was her, I would have dumped him. She was still very patient with him.
I would shorten the episodes to have a better pacing. I couldn't finish it. Just very boring.
