I only stumble on this site when I vigorously search for “You are beautiful”. After reading your recap of YAB for past 3 weeks, I must said I’m becoming very fond of your candid review and your in-depth involvement with k-drama. Our of curiosity, I browse through to view your recap on “Coffee Prince” as it is one of favorite kdrama beside YAB. To my astonishment, I found review on the novel. Of course, I didn’t know Cofffee Prince drama was based on novel adaptation. I was so gripped and engrossed. I can’t belief I finish reading the whole review in less than 2 hour and thanks to you – I enjoyed the novel very much. As a matter of fact, I like the novel better than the drama itself. Although I enjoyed the drama tremendously, it is a bit too lengthy in the beginning. I almost gave up at ep 3-4 but luckily I endure because the excitement build up in ep 6. But the novel, the flow is just about the right dose. Though Coffee Prince drama filmed beautifully it is very tough to capture inner feeling on screen, especially the inner turmoil on Han Gyul’s feeling.

JB, thank you and how I wish I could turn back the clock to discover this site 2 years ago – it would make my Coffee Prince taste better. Salute!

i loved reading your synopsis of the novel.
Its hard for me to believe that this is the first time you’ve read a novel in korean. your translations flow very smoothly, the vocabulary translations seem spot on but do not feel unnatural or forced in english. you have an excellent command of both korean and english.

I’ve only watched the tv adaptation and had no idea it was based on a novel till i read your recaps. imo, the book is actually a little bit more exciting and dramatic in dealing with how han gyul comes to discover eun chan’s true identity. the way it unfolds actually suits a tv show format quite well, dont know why it wasnt used.

again, enjoyed your work immensely, and look forward to more of your translations.

Thanks for your awesome translation! I loved both the drama and now your translation of the novel! I had great butterflies in my stomach and I was picturing all the actors as the characters. OOH!

You made my day! Much appreciated!
