Coffee Prince (Korean: 커피프린스 1호점; Japanese: コーヒープリンス1号店) is a youth romcom set in a café staffed only by handsome men: a heroine mistaken for a boy and the café's young owner. The natural acting of Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun-hye is loved to this day, and many name it their "favorite K-drama."

📖 Plot (no spoilers)

Eun-chan, who works non-stop in boy's clothing to support her family, meets Han-gyeol, the heir of a large company, and — still thought to be a boy — ends up working at the café he is launching.

Working in the "men-only café," Eun-chan sees Han-gyeol begin to be confused by feeling drawn to a "boy"…

✨ Three Reasons to Watch

• Gong Yoo's natural charm — the young heir he played before Goblin and Squid Game, who worries, gets confused and falls honestly in love
• An atmosphere that has not faded — everyday conversation and quiet time with the café friends, still fresh after more than 17 years
• The café friends' youth — including the grown-up romance of Han-sung, Han-gyeol's cousin, played by Lee Sun-kyun

Gong Yoo is also in Tantara, the Netflix drama released in three parts from December 11.
