Coffee Prince: Fourteenth Cup

Omg this recap is perfect, thanks so much for it!! This is the 3rd consecutive happy episode, which has got to be some kind of record-breaking for Korean dramas haha. I'm sooooo pleased.

I love it so much I can't think of what to say. Hahaha. But I am glad though to see that there's no lingering mistrust between the four! I also love it that Eun Chan didn't fit completely into the (old) group's dynamics, with their snarky jokes and teasing. She's definitely significantly younger than the three, and naturally it'll take them some time to adjust to this new member - it's not uncomfortable, though, and I think they're creating a new group dynamic that will bring them into another era in their lives.

Haha this drama is also bringing me into a new era of my life omg last night for the first time ever I streamed live and I was squeeeeing so excitedly about watching the same thing at the same time as people in Korea (with my earphones on) that my mum was like wtf and I didn't hear her at all haha. And looking at your summary, I can't believe how much of the dialogue I actually understood. Omg I'm so happy!

I don't think I can ever get enough of the cuteness of Eun Chan-Han Gyul scenes. Last night left me with a dazed smile throughout school today and everyone was like yo, wassup with you, and I just giggled to myself. Oh dear. It's cute how Eun Chan was going mad over Han Gyul's baby photos and plays it down when he comes in before giving in and begging for a particularly cute one. Love it when Han Gyul's like this feeling of knowing all the adults are in and I'm alone in my room with my girlfriend is great... And that piggyback ride surpassed all other piggyback rides in k-drama history; I love how he made like he was trying to shake her off, but still waited for her to clamber back on when she slipped. Everyone seems to carry each other effortlessly in this drama, see Min Yub and Harim! Haha

Their playful stage kiss at the end, and the last dramatic dip all feels so natural! And the way they try to get each other's attention.. oh man they must have caught onto my mp3 recording habits because so many awesome scenes in this episode required lip-reading! I actually thought Han Gyul said 예쁘지 and Han Sung replied 아주 귀여워 but I think you're probably right cos I thought I saw 나쁘지 then I couldn't figure out an appropriate answer from Han Sung. And Han Gyul's ecstatic silent aaaaaa is just soooooo cute.

Another thing I like is some semi-meta bits... like Eun Chan's reference to Han Gyul's "military service" in the previous episode, Eun Sae claim ages ago for Jongguk oppa to wait for her, and here, when Eun Chan's saying it's like acting out a drama here heh :P

The development of minor characters here was also timely, since there is only so much cuteness you can take before it becomes overload (they're controlling it really well. I mean 3 episodes is as far as I know unprecedented but within the episodes they know what we want) I think Eun Sae's revenge is funneh. Harim is the funniest ajumma-like-thing ever, at first he sensibly counsels Eun Chan to let Han Gyul pursue his dreams, now he's saying wow you're taking it remarkably well, before proceeding to voice his worries about the extremely HOT American girls, with their GORGEOUS faces and their BOOBS, omg. Luckily Eun Chan had the presence of mind to beat him up. And I love seeing Han Sung's reaction to Yu Ju's news. There was no hesitation at all, just a stunned disbelief, and extreme happiness.

And my favourite favourite awesomest tiny-moment but awesome bit is when Han Gyul's mother told his father about Eun Chan, and his reaction is just to laugh. (It was a comfort to see he was capable of laughing afterall. Also about time we saw some of the dynamics of this couple) I think it just shows how far they'll come and it is very very reassuring; Han Gyul's decided not to go to the US now, out of his own accord, and there's no preview so no one knows what's going to happen next, but whatever it is? I'm not scared.

Right, so much for not having anything to say -_-

kr, are you positive? I considered the possibility that he was saying 예쁘지 instead, but I could swear his lips make the 나 instead of 예 motion... well, i'll check with the scripts when they come out :)

Not “Isn’t she so bad?” (나쁘지?)->“Isn’t she so pretty?” (예쁘지?)
It's wrong~~

ohhhhhh javabeans i just love your translations it's like i am watching the drama. it seems like everything is going smooth sailing for Han Gyul and Eun Chan, even Han Sung and Yu Ju are getting along together with the baby news and stuff. but you know something major has to happen to bring back the drama that we all love. because we don't really know if Han Sung is the father of Yu Ju's baby (no mention of how long in her pregnanacy she is), and if Han Gyul is really going to stay in Korea and if his family will accept Eun Chan. thanks for the translations :D.......

-PS i notice in the scene with Han Shun and Yu Ju where she lets him know about the baby. you have it as she is telling Han Gyul instead of Han Shun. also in the scene when Han Gyul's mother and grandmother visit the coffer shop. you have as "Han Shun's mother and grandmother" not Han Gyul. these things didn't bother me because i knew actually who you were really speaking about, but for some people who don't know they might get confuse. but anyways keep up the good work i really appreciate the hard work that you do for us kdramas lovers. JAVABEAN FIGHTING!!!! :D

wow you posted early today....
finally i was able to watch it full last without getting bumped out from the server... and i say 14th cup was amazingly romantic... and we're down to the last 3 episodes... i truly love this drama and i've said that a million times already... but wouldn't it be nice if there will be season 2 ha ha wish list again... or maybe another drama with them together again... i've been watching "HARDTACK TEACHER and SUGAR CANDY" while waiting for coffee prince -- Gong Yoo is a really good actor -- his acting in hardtack was truly amazing -- all out i can say -- at first i didn't like the girl who played opposite with GY,well in my mind right now there's only YEH for him and no one else (ha ha)...
I hope there'll be another drama with the this type of drama - i mean light and comic...

Another hardwork Javabeans... THANK YOU SO MUCH! it's going to be another long week till the next episode... Have a great week javabeans! Fighting!

PS: I'm impressed with Gong Yoo's wardrobes in Coffee Prince (whoever is the stylist has a good sense of fashion) .. It's very sophisticated with a touch of Europe .. The most horrible wardrobes were Bi's in full house (sorry red pants kill me) and Jae Hee's in Delightful Girl Choon Hyang (as much as I loved the series) I hated their outfits..

Thank you for another wonderful recap.. I agree the show isn't as intense anymore however i think it's because it becoming more realistic.. As the main couple's relationship has reached the next step (most cases it's the stability).. Han Gyul continues to impress me (minus the assaulting kiss on episode 11).. I loved how he said “It’s not because of you, it’s because of me. Because of the me that loves you. I don’t want to go to the US and whine and moan about how much I miss you — that’s humiliating. It’s better if I don’t go.” Like a true mature person .. I'm happy to see more glimpse of Sun Ki's life (Kim Jae Wook is so cute).. He's truly an interesting character (my ideal guy personality).. There wasn't preview of next episode I wonder what will happen next.. However from the 2nd episode we saw Han Gyul was dreaming of his wedding with Eun Chan .. I wonder if we'll see any wedding in this series..

Now .. off topic.. I've watched time of dog and wolf .. well I can't say you missed much by not watching .. It's more of a summer blockbuster type series .. with car chase, blowing up stuff, shooting etc (even a top heavy heroin who's desperately chasing for Lee Jun Ki's love/attention while he's focused on his "job").. There wasn't anything original (including LJK getting amnesia) .. As much as I love Lee Jun Ki I don't think this series is "it" .. Although he wanted to lose his "pretty boy" image by taking up this role .. But other than that I don't think it's worth anything..

Woot~!! The first paragraph already blew me away. Fantastic writing. As for the episode, I think they should've incorporated a dating trip for those two like those that happen in kdramas when the main couple finally finds out their feelings for one another. In that a bicycle ride takes place where the girl hops behind the bike while the boy drives her around the park as autumn leaves brush their faces. Haha. joke~!!
