Coffee Prince and the Making of Gong Yoo
Season 1, Episode 1, Feb 01, 2021, 04:30 AM
In this episode we do a deep dive on Coffee Prince, the 2007 Korean drama that is a must-see on every Kdrama lover's list and that made Gong Yoo an international star.
Coffee Prince is the story of Eun-chan, a young woman who pretends to be a man in order to get a job, and her romance with Han-gyul, a rich young man who falls in love with her despite not knowing she’s actually a woman.
Things we cover this episode include:
- A very detailed analysis of just how hot Gong Yoo is in this (oh okay, we also talk about his acting talent)
- Is Han-gyul bi or gay? Is Eun-chan gender fluid?
- Why the hell did Eun-chan wait so long to come out to Han-gyul? Was it because she was afraid to lose him or something more?
- Yoo-joo and Eun-chan are more alike that you think. They're both women living like men to survive in a man's world.
- Meanwhile, Han-sung is manipulative, selfish and generally problematic a-f.
- The Coffee Princes are all adorable and we spend a fair bit of time squeeing and fangirling them.
