Coffee Prince: Seventeenth Cup (Final)

And, finally. Here we are: the final episode!

I’m sad for two reasons: First, that Coffee Prince is over. And second, that the finale wasn’t nearly as good as it could have, or should have, been. Don’t get me wrong; it was a perfectly serviceable final episode. It was cute, and we had a happy ending. For that alone, it was fine. I’ll leave off commenting on the rest till the end.

 
FINAL EPISODE SUMMARY

 
Han Gyul and Eun Chan wake up from their night together feeling happy but bashful. Han Gyul is so flustered he hurries to dress as Eun Chan wakes up, and puts both legs through one pant leg, causing him to fall to the ground onto some conveniently dropped pillows.

 

Eun Chan knows her mother’s going to kill her when she finds out she spent the night with Han Gyul, but she’s not so panicked that she can’t first have breakfast with him. Han Gyul tells Eun Chan not to grow her hair or wear miniskirts when she’s in Italy: “If men ask if you have a boyfriend, tell them you’re married. No, just stay invisible.” Sobering to the fact that she’s leaving soon, he cautions her to take good care of herself. They’ll have to go on dates every day before she leaves; he’ll take her all the places she wanted to go to before.

Driving in to work together, Eun Chan gets a call from Eun Sae, who tells Eun Chan she owes her. Eun Sae covered for her, telling their mother that Eun Chan had left early for work.

Ha Rim sees them arriving to work together and immediately senses something different. With glee, he guesses the truth and tries to go around proving it. He manages to sneak up on them, and singsongs his congratulations to the couple.

 

 
Han Gyul goes out of his way to sneak a present to Eun Chan so she’ll find it while cleaning, which turns out to be a pair of shoes (for comfort, since baristas are always on their feet). Eun Chan wonders if it’s okay to accept, because there’s a saying that you shouldn’t give your lover shoes because they’ll run away from you — but Han Gyul has taken proper precautions, writing inside them: “You’re mine!” and signing with his name.

 

That night, Eun Chan falls asleep while on the phone with Han Gyul, and he leaves her on speakerphone — and awakens the next morning with a laugh to realize Eun Chan is still snoring into her phone. He hangs up and calls back to serenade her with the song “I Love You,” originally sung by Han Dong Joon.

On her last day of work, Eun Chan makes her sad goodbyes with everyone. Each of the Princes takes his turn to say a few last words, finding Eun Chan crying in her work locker. Min Yub is first, and gives her some cosmetics as a present, saying she’ll be very pretty when she does herself up. He tells her, “You know I really respect and like you, don’t you? Don’t worry about Angel and your mother, because I’ll look after them.”

Next is Sun Ki: “Take care of yourself, and come back safely. You’ll do a good job — I have faith in you.” For once, Ha Rim has the fewest words, tearing up as Eun Chan tells him how much she likes him, even if they’ve fought in the past. He cries, and leaves her with a goodbye letter without being able to say anything.

Eun Chan cries as she reads the note (song: Maximilian Hecker’s “I’ll Be a Virgin, I’ll Be a Mountain” from a previous episode):

“My Chan, have a good time studying abroad. I don’t know how I’ll stay cheerful after you leave. Since you can sleep and eat well wherever you go, that doesn’t worry me, but there’s just one thing that does — you and men. You’d better not be won over by some guy’s flowery words or killer smile. I’ll handle Han Gyul hyung over here, so don’t worry. If only you weren’t his girl, I could’ve tried pursuing you. My Chan, I’ll miss you. P.S. — dreams come true!”

 

Meanwhile, Han Sung and Yu Ju’s marriage has been going well. Yu Ju has taken special care to refrain from working or going out to meet friends to watch out for the baby, but still, she encounters trouble. She experiences pains that send her to the hospital, and (the implication is that) they lose the baby. Han Sung comforts her (without anger or resentment, merely worry).

 

 
Everyone’s sad to see Eun Chan go, starting with her family, the Coffee Princes, and of course, Han Gyul. Eun Chan goes to the airport alone to avoid a painful parting, especially with Han Gyul, and says her last goodbyes to him over the phone. Her last words before hanging up are a choked string of “I love you”s. (Song: “Sad Thing” by 어른아이 / Adult Child, posted previously.)

 

 

And then, we’re two years later.

 
Eun Chan’s voiceover reads the various messages she’s sent to Han Gyul over the past two years via postcards, which he has posted up on his refrigerator.

Her messages include:

“There are lots of handsome men here. I’ve got a lot of them chasing me around saying they like me. Still, you’re the most handsome of them all!…”

“I’m sleeping late these days, with the excuse that I don’t have a part-time job to go to. Did I come here to study, or play?…”

“But thanks to you and Grandmother, I’m learning a lot. It’s so interesting. Thank you, and love you. I’ll become an impressive woman and go back soon. I miss you. I really miss you! … I love you. Here’s a kiss for you!”

 

Han Gyul has been busy working with the company to franchise the next store — Coffee Princess.

Min Yub has been working as a model, while Eun Sae works with the behind-the-scenes staff. They’re still together, and at her suggestion, he’s changed his modeling name to simply “Hwang Min.” (Eun Sae’s nickname for him, though, is “Yub.” I wonder if part of her suggestion, aside from professional reasons, was so she gets to be the only one to call him that. It’s cute.) It’s nice to see her so proud of him for something, which is a nice change from their early relationship.

 

Han Gyul is eagerly counting down the days to Eun Chan’s return, so naturally he’s shocked and panicked when Eun Chan mentions the possibility of staying in Italy for another year to further her studies. It’s a great opportunity for her, her tuition will be covered, and she’d like to stay… Han Gyul yells an insistent no, and reminds her that she signed the contract with his grandmother to come back after two years. He’d even planned the opening of the new cafe to time with her arrival. She asks, “Then should I give it up and return?” and tells him she’ll forget the idea since he doesn’t like it… which makes Han Gyul feel guilty.

 

Ha Rim, who’s in charge of the interior design for the new Coffee Princess cafe, has been dating Byul for the past two years. I find her inclusion in the story pretty pointless, but I suppose she’s there to give some promise of a happy ending for Ha Rim. She brings up the fact that Ha Rim’s family is going through tough times (they had to close their hospital), which is another weirdly tacked-on story bit. But okay.

Likewise, a new girl walks into the Coffee Prince one day to earnestly request a job there, and the girl seems to serve the main purpose of giving Sun Ki a potential happy ending too. The girl (who also had a minor role in Dal Ja’s Spring) gets on Sun Ki’s nerves, until she responds to his grumbling in fluent Japanese, which is a welcome surprise. It’s also hinted that she’s sort of an Eun Chan version 2.0 — Ha Rim’s reaction to her appearance echoes the very words he first said about Eun Chan, she’s cheerful, she’s 24, and I think she’s supposed to be tomboyish (although the actress is too feminine for that to come across well).

 
Even Mr. Hong gets a storyline, meeting his long-ago love (the good liar) by chance and having a brief conversation with her. She’s married and has a child now, and I suppose his sense of closure comes when he gets up to leave, and she tells him, “Go on. This time I’ll be the one who stays behind.” He answers, “Sure, I’ll try being the first to go this time.” Closure’s good and all, but I never really felt his story was opened enough to require closing.

 

Han Sung and Yu Ju celebrate their two-year anniversary. They seem happy, but Yu Ju appears to still be affected by the baby they lost. Han Sung comes upon her as she stares at a set of baby shoes, and guesses what she’s thinking:

“Yu Ju, I don’t have any greed for more. With you always looking at me, and being by my side, and us both doing work we love… I don’t have any more to wish for.”

Han Sung tells her that he thinks they should stop going to the hospital, which I surmise is because they’ve been trying to become pregnant. Yu Ju suggests they go away on a trip together.

(Song: Arco’s “Perfect World,” previously posted.)

Meanwhile, at home alone, Han Gyul deliberates over his new dilemma — whether to persuade Eun Chan to come home quickly, or to let her further her studies as she wants. Finally, he comes to a decision, and calls her, leaving the message:

“You have to pay me back later for putting me through all this. Continue your studying, then come home. Just one more year. When you get this message, call me.”

He runs off, yelling, “Come home quickly! I miss you! Come back soon!”

Later, Han Gyul has a somewhat disappointing interview with a potential barista, who wants double the pay that was offered. After she leaves, Eun Chan arrives unexpectedly, rendering him stunned and speechless.

Eun Chan starts off by saying that she’s here to interview for the barista position, and lists all her qualifications. (Song: “Make Up” by 어른아이 / Adult Child.)

Eun Chan: “It sounded like that other applicant was asking for double the pay, but all you have to do is feed me. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack. I’m good at cleaning, I’m strong, and I make really great coffee. I also have an excellent history as an international barista. I do pretty well.”
Han Gyul: “More than skill, we need someone with a devoted work ethic.”
Eun Chan: “I’m incredibly devoted. If you just say so nicely, I can do the cleaning, cooking, dishes, and everything for you.”

After the initial gladness at seeing each other again, Han Gyul is (mildly) upset that she came back without saying anything, and for putting him through such worry, thinking she’d be gone another year. She assures him that she won’t leave him alone ever again: “Even if you told me to leave now, I won’t. I’ve got to stick by your side every day from now on. I won’t leave you for even a minute.” Mollified, Han Gyul asks, “Twenty-four hours? Night and day, every day? Then we’ll have to get married quickly.”

 
It appears she misled him purposely with her suggestion of staying another year, and had his parents and grandmother in on the secret. Eun Chan’s kept in contact with them all this time (Han Gyul’s father even met her in Italy when he traveled there on business), and his parents are firmly in favor of the relationship. Even his grandmother can’t hide her gruffness too much: “She asked me to keep her return a secret, but she’s with Han Gyul right now. They’re just crazy about each other.”

And naturally, everyone at Coffee Prince is thrilled to see her (and shocked at her new look).

(Song: “La la la, it’s love” by The Melody, on the OST.)

Han Sung and Yu Ju have their romantic getaway…

 

 
And Han Gyul tries out his coffee-making skills for Eun Chan.

(Ending song: “Coffee Is…” by Cloud Cuckoo Land, posted previously.)

 

 


Coffee Prince closes today!

 

Additional thoughts:

This episode left me smiling widely and feeling good. It was a nice wrap-up to a series that turned out to be surprisingly more insightful, fun, and engaging than I’d hoped when I first started watching. I re-read what I’d written in response to the first episode, and was particularly happy to be proved wrong in initially supposing the series held little promise for profound meaning.

As a final episode, I didn’t particularly find this 17th hour to be anything extraordinary. I seem to be in the minority in having absolutely no problem with the “__ years later” device, at least on principle. Some series misuse the time skip in a lazy or poor way, and some use it very well. My disappointment with the last episode has nothing to do with the fact that they skipped two years. It’s merely that this episode felt like a (very, very) long epilogue. They could have cut it in half and been fine. It felt like a tacked-on extension to a series that had been so popular that its very talented director and writer were forced to artificially lengthen its material to fill an extra hour. Imagine that.

But when all’s said and done, I thoroughly enjoyed Coffee Prince, and didn’t tire of it at any point through its conclusion — which is remarkable, given the pure statistics: seventeen episode summaries, twenty novel recaps, and an additional ten posts on miscellaneous news items and behind-the-scenes interviews. That’s a whopping total of forty-seven posts, and I won’t even dare to do a word count, but I’m guessing it must top out at more than 60,000 words, at least. That’s the size of a novel.

And the comments from everyone! All 2,830 of them. That makes Coffee Prince nothing short of a phenomenon. Thanks to everyone for participating in what has been an overwhelmingly pleasant fandom (as far as I can tell), and here’s to hoping it’s not too long before we get another series (and fandom) that’s as widely entertaining and engaging as this has been.

Was there additional songs in the last episode that are not listed?
Specifically, there was a song sung by a high female voice. I can't remember the lyrics but it seemed like the word "saw" was in the chorus. Does anyone know it?
Thanks!!!

jackie, that song wasn't listed here because it was already listed in a prior episode. off the top of my head i believe it's the one by low-end project. Andy, sorry I have no idea what song you're referring to based on that info. but fyi to everyone, I didn't list every song every time it's played -- that would be insane. If a song was played in an earlier episode, it was listed the first (or the most prominent) time it was used. You can check out the overall list of songs here.

thanks javabeans for the wonderful summaries! it certainly enlightened some of the blurry episodes for me due to bad translations hehe! i've just finished watching coffee prince (2nd time around) and i really am hoping for a coffee prince 2 or a coffee princess but then again it would be sad if Gong Yoo will not be in it since he's probably serving the military now so i guess the producers should wait for GY's return. i became a big fan of his after watching coffee prince (it's my first tym seeing him, actually). i wish cp will be aired soon here in the Philippines. do u have by any chance have a script or summary of other gong yoo series, i.e. Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy among others?

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama and is going to be one of my top five korean dramas. I actually watched it again right after I finished my first round. I hope that they won't spoil the second coffe prince drama (without Han Kyul? That would suck).

i think it took me like 2 months to finish the last 2 episodes
i'm impressed with this episode, it wasn't SPECTACULAR, but it left a good impression. It basically sums up all the feelings I had for coffee prince. I really like Eun Chan's new look. The random pair ups in the end were pretty funny. Thanks for the summaries, let's hope there will be another drama that will make me this happy =D.

Whew! There's a lot of comments. Javabeans, you are simply phenomenal too!:)

I'm actually laughing myself out when I finished it. Why? Because just like what Javabeans said, at first I didn't think this would be a drama that I will continue watching but as it goes,it became one of the best Kdrama ever. On the 1st few episodes I repeatedly pressed the FF button but already got hook on the 2nd episode, huh? Did I said first few? Hahaha!

Now I'm really sad cuz it's already finished. I'm just hoping that there will be a 2nd SHOP and that the COFFEE PRINCESS will thrive.

Again, JAVABEANS..thank u,thank you so much! Most especially for ur songs.Whew!
AND COFFEE PRINCE just got the right taste!
Aja!

I watched the entire series 2 weeks ago with the english subs by S2. But your recaps gave me additional insights and helped me understand a few things that confused me a little before.

Nice to see I'm not the only one that got gaga over CP. And I do agree that the casting here is genius. Everyone was great and I love the choice of music too.

I do wish sometimes that they married off EC and HK so I'd have closure :) but that wouldn't fit in right.

I'll surely bookmark this site for future reference. You're truly eloquent.

I can't decide on yet what to watch next. I'm still getting over CP, been listening to the unofficial and official OST and scouring every BTS and NG clips. That's after watching the series more than 5x already :)

I'm basically just repeating everyone else's comments... I loved CP!!! Finished watching it 3 days ago but I've been rewatching my favourite parts over and over again, i just cant get it out of my system!

But I do wish the final scene was a lil bit more romantic than the sitting-down-and-having-coffee scene we got, simply because Eun Chan and Han Gyul were so sweet and cute in every other scene they were in. I mean they weren't even holding hands, hugging each other or anything!

Other than that, i thought this series was perfect - great soundtrack, beautiful sets and locations (I want Han Gyul's & Han Sung's houses!!!), a superb cast (all the princes were hilarious) and last but not least, electrifying chemistry between the 2 leads (i thought GY and YEH were hooking up in real life coz they portrayed a couple so well). Hopefully they'll come up with a 2nd season with the same cast because a different cast just wouldnt be the same. Sigh, but for now I'll just wear out the rewind, fast forward and play buttons on my dvd player!

hello CP addicts....

Coffee Prince is being shown in the Philippines...and getting a very huge
support from a lot of people...

I've watched this series for a couple of times to which I lost count...
Yet I still can't get enough of it....
I still watch it whenever I have time...
Even the one that they are showing in the Phil...
Although I love to hear their real voices...it's also fun to hear it in our native language...

I hope they will finally do a sequel when Gong Yoo comes back from the military...
A lot are hoping for this...so I hope MBC will take a heart to
push through with it...

We are missing the closeness of the whole casts....the sweet chemistry b/n
Gong Yoo and Eun Hye...

As for now I will never cease in watching it over and over again...

i think they left some stories hanging on purpose (e.g.: eun chan not being able to answer to han gyul to marry her upon her return, ha rim's family problems, additional characters, additional Coffee Princess, etc.) because the producers are expecting for Coffee prince part 2 that i hope will come soon. i love ur summaries tho. :)

thanks so much for all your excellent recaps and screen caps.

your writing was excellent and really helped to fill in the gaps and nuances from watching the show. i also liked reading your take on each episode.

i'm still in the process of watching the show (it's taking a while to download fully) but i've already read all your fantastic recaps! and it's only making me look forward to watching each episode, even though i know what's going to happen..

please keep up the good work, its really much appreciated!

Dramabeans, you are soooooooo good. I'm glad that I found your site. My daughters and I just discovered Coffee Prince about 3 weeks ago and we are now hooked on it. Fueling my obsession to find as much info that I could, I found your site and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your insights (which can be sometimes profound and hilarious...). I just finished reading your episode recaps and everytime, I read your writings I can't help but be reminded of how I am feeling while watching the show.

Ah, what am I going to do after this? I told my daughters that it would take me awhile to warm up to another drama..... unless, something comes up as great as CP. I am reading your other drama reviews and might watch them later on.

I already got me the dvd box set since my daughters and I are planning to watch it again and again and again.

I appreciate the music sharing very much too since I am introduce to other outstanding artists. I may not understand the words, but hey! isn't music a universal thing. Sometimes the melody is all there is to it.

All in all, the stars must have been in the right position for this show to come into being. Lovable casts, great acting, wonderful storyline, superb music and everything else that brought this masterpiece together.

Thanks!!!

I hope this comment was not too late, CP was shown in the Philippines through GMA Network last Jan and ended last March 2008. I really want to congratulate the producer, director, the staff and most of all the stars of CP, you've been so marvelous in your acting and most especially CONGRATULATIONS TO GONG YOO AND YOON EUN HYE. They acted so naturally, I fell in love with the drama series. When the show started last Jan. I was really on my depressed moment of my life and I was able to recover from it because of watching CP every night, I really don't sleep early just to watch it. And I even bought a DVD though I had a hard time reading the subtitle I"ve watched it over and over again at night after I came from work. I got inspired with the show and Gong Yoo was really so handsome and gorgeous. Just a comment, the ending was just a little sad for me because i think there should be a deeper finale. (Like seeing Han Gyul and Eun Chan get married etc.) Anyway, I really loved it I am hoping that there will be a Coffee Prince 2 after Gong Yoo finish his service at the military, and I know millions of fans of CP will prefer same castings because a show will not be the same as it was if there will be changes on the major cast. I admired the acting of Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo and they look good together. I hope MBC will be able to provide us the season 2 of COFFEE PRINCE. I have been addicted to the show I would say. I never watched any korean drama over and over again other than Coffee Prince. And I just hope that there will be a release of their original DVD in the Philippines as well, I know the released were only from selected countries and some Asian country, fans of CP look forward on the copy soon.Go Coffee Prince.!!!!!
