Coffee Prince: Third Cup

LOL you guys are too funny. shenny, she's calling Eun Chan "son" (ah deul) because she's hip to the plan and agrees to go along with it. I do think Yu Ju's a "nice" character but she still rubs me the wrong way -- like Jung Sook in Bad Couple, who's quiet on the surface but really a wily old fox.

ginnie, hahaha, yes, drink coffee instead indeed! only Yu Ju won't be water, she'll be wine cuz she's a big ol' wino. (first he takes wine to her apartment and she asks, "You don't even drink, how did you know i'd want wine?" and later when she's painting, he says, "How can Yu Ju work without her wine?" or something like that). i do agree the script is laden with cliches but they've done a decent job not getting bogged down so far (famous last words), so i still have hope.

then again, i ALWAYS have hope, and many times it's crushed. isn't it sad witnessing my hopes come crashing down in flames in real time as chronicled here? and yet i don't learn.

That Latte Art portion of today's episode was very cool but it was unfortunately so brief in this episode. It was sooooo pretty, I never knew how they did the drawings and now I do! Wish one day I can try to make one of my own Latte Art! *dreaming* LOL.

Another cool thing was the concept of "Coffee Prince". I thought that is a pretty neat marketing idea because imagine those male idols in the k-pop world today serving coffee, I bet the school girls will automatically be attracted to their princes there. And this is also why Eun Chan has to continue being a "prince" in order to work Han Kyul's coffee place.

With that being said, after watching three episodes (one of them LIVE), I really don't think I want to watch the show anymore, I'd rather "read" the show here. There are so many predictables and I can't stand Ms. Second Lead who apparently can't even tie her hair. And it is not because Han Kyul is Vidal Sassoon either! He was struggling how to twist her hair...I wish he would twist something else. ....LOL.

Why oh Why did the Voice get back with Yu Ju? What happened to the plot in episode 2? I don't understand that portion when they were suddently cuddling together on the bed and she was doing the oddest things to him/on him.

I think the script in the future will continue to make Yu Ju as hateable as possible, Han Sung as naive and lovesick as possible, Han Kyul as careless and mean without knowing it as possible, and Eun Chan as pitiful as possible. In this episode alone, there are two instances that makes us sympathize with her i.e. her memories of her father causing her to tear up and also Han Kyul scolding Eun Chan. hheee....ah...I hope I am wrong.

Perhaps they will one day use this line in this series later...."instead of drinking water (Yu Ju) , why don't you drink coffee (Eun Chan) as a habit instead?"

Thank you sarahbeans! muah! ^^ I find it also strange why HK can't tell that she's clearly a girl... lol.. o well. Does it mean YEH's acting isn't convincing enough? lol.. errr... I think she's doing a great job so far....

In the preview, looks like EC's mom is calling her 'daughter' huahaha.. can't wait to see that. But perhaps HK is deaf, or somewhere else when that happens. Blah~ too early for him to know the truth.

And about YJ, hehe.. am I the only one who think she's alrite? I mean, she's not bitchy or anything like that, and they make such a beautiful couple together with HS. hehe. and plus HS seems to be so in happy with her. I dunno, I kinda like her, as an actress and as Yoo Ju. But I have a feeling she'll break HS's heart once again...sigh...

Oh I love this show...and I totally agree about Yoo Ju - just seeing her annoys me now...is she toying with them both? I don't get it, it was obvious from the first two episodes that she didn't really feel for Han Gyul as she did for the older cousin so why keep leading him on? the woman is gorgeous though - i watch it with my brother and he just sits there starring at her...once in awhile saying ," Man, she's cute."

Truthfully - I skipped all of their alone parts together (hangyul & yoo ju) haha....

aahhhh thanks for this sarah!! :D i dont like Girl B. well sure the actress is pretty and all. but well.. i dont know if she;s acting to be a B***** she's got it down pat. hahhaa im in love with the uberr cute doggie on Han Sung. as much as i pity, Han Gyul he's in for a long haul. i dont like how he ripped into Eun Chan like that too. i wouldve acted more cooly and try to troubleshoot as much rather than blame the person. but that's just me. Im really loving this drama. ^^

thank you for the summary, sarah!

i agree too that yu ju is annoying... totally not liking those "damsel in distress" type characters..
about her and mr. velvet voice, it was probably the power of the back hug and Han Sung is a man, ergo, he's a weakling when it comes to the pretty face + back hug formula. for some reason, i have a feeling that she's gonna leave him and break his heart again :(

I like the way the story is developing and wonder how much longer it will be until HG realizes that EC is a girl.

thank you sarahbeans.. urgggggggg.. HG better apologize to our dear "brother" soon.. ehhe.. i'm sure he will.. i am still finding it strange for HG to think that EC is a boy time after time.. she might look boyish.. but her voice.. i thought she still very much sounds like a girl.. ehhe.. I mean.. i find that strange since they have spend alot of time together.. I thought he would have realized or at least suspect that by now.. Once again.. thank you for a wonderful summary.. sarahbeans rock!!!

""She’s like the girl you can’t explain hating because it’ll label you as a jealous shrew, bitter that her only crime is being pretty, so you can’t openly express that you dislike her, but at the same time she just seems so fake. But all the guys tell you, “Lighten up, she’s really cool.” And you just sit there and stew, knowing you’ve been unjustly accused of being catty… Oh wait, is that just me?""

No, its not just you ;) I totally get your comparison, that was my first reaction to Yu Ju. I'm disappointed they got back together that fast...I mean she left him, came back, they slept together and all's happy (despite his big words). Yeah, but I know what you mean, the character irritates me (or the way the actress plays the character).

And I also like the progressive idea behind it, and the way they're orchestrating it. I was watching episode 2 and I enjoy the interaction and how natural it is, but you can also see that Han Gyul is building an affection--whatever kind it may be--and I like the way its been shown. My kudos to a progressive Korea too :) Now if only a couple other countries would move a little forward with their stories....

And another thing I'm enjoying is that Han Gyul isn't a complete jerk as sometimes the rich, lazy heir is. I mean there's a lot of that in him, but he has these obvious moments that show he's also concerned, kind, and realizes when he's been an idiot (I like the part when he looks at the schedule in Ep 2 and thinks about what his grandma tells him). And these don't exist several layers deep only to be shown several episodes later, which is often the case in such stories. So despite a lot of k-drama cliches, it still feels refreshing.

Btw, I admire you for continuing Air City. I'm glad I never started watching it (for a short while I thought I might!) and I'm sorry it turned out this way. I read all your earlier summaries because they were all so funny and the way the story went in some of the episodes reminded me a lot of several Bollywood movie/Indian drama story bits which are just too painful to watch because they're made disastrous by ridiculous design, and a perfectly good start can meet with a "whaatt was that?" kind of ending (reason I switched to korean film and drama industry ;))! But its generous of you to keep going for the people who are still watching it. Go Javabeans!
