Overall, this drama is a fun to watch and not boring, for having me to watch it until the end, although I fast forward some parts, which I think is not needed. This drama I feel should have done good with just 24 episodes, but all in all it keeps my curiosity and interest to finished this and know which of the main characters end up with.

This drama has great actors and actresses. They did their job well, especially the one who acted out the character of the fake In Joo, which I think she did justice to the role because I hated her character too much. As for the 3 main leads, Seong Yoo-Ri, Lee Sang Woo, and Joo Sang Wook, they all did well, although I can say that the writer should have put more depth on JSW character as Jae Ha, such as giving us some background on Jae Ha's childhood on why he grew up with his grandmother, where are his parents, etc, in that way we could have had more empathy and connection with his character, unlike the character of Do-Yoon. Maybe that is why I feel more connected with the character of Do-Yoon aka "Haemil" and leans more towards the love angle between Do-Yoon/Haemil and Joong-Ho.

Furthermore, although I least expect the ending of the drama and quite dissatisfied with it, too much open ended and not enough closure on the characters, overall it is still a good drama to watch.

Just barely finished episode 14. Can I just say, if episode 14 had been turned into 14 & 15, maybe even 16, my score would be a bit different?...

The story line was quite similar to You're Beautiful's version, but if you've seen both dramas, you can see a lot of differences-at least, I did xP I won't go into specifics. Main point: if you liked You're Beautiful and are still hungry for a similar plot but not so identical it's boring to watch, you should try watching this drama:)

The casting wasn't my favorite. I never questioned any of the actors except the main roles. They were attractive, don't get me wrong. And their acting was top-notch. But standing next to all those extremely hot guys, they somehow just ended up "ok".
But not matter how much it sounds different, I really did love the main roles. They were adorable! and so much fun:)

Another thing that bothered me throughout the entire drama: Seung Yeon's chest!! She was supposed to be a MAN. I'm quite sure those could not be classified as man-boobs; they were pretttty big~ There was no overlooking them. Even in baggy shirts. They probably could have done a better job wrapping those things up!

I loved that all the actors in this drama actually had talent (In Young excluded since I never actually saw her doing anything a talented superstar might do... don't even mention the heinous dancing!!-though I'm sure I could do much worse;)) their singing & dancing was fantastic!! The re-watch value went up a LOT just for the sake of hearing those amazing voices again >.< Loved it

I rly liked this drama. Even though the story stands out & the actors were the best. I am just not sure if this can compare 2 other drama's that I have watched this season. I have 2 say that it fulfilled all my requirements 4 a good drama. Good story, amazing actors, but something was missing. I am not sure what, but something.........

I swear if Jang Geun Seok gets ne hotter the world will be n trouble ov being set on fire. His smile z just killer & when he z being arrogant....OMG his facial expression z just....IDK I don't think there r words 2 describe the feelings invoked by that man!

OK, now that I got all that out ov my system.

I think that may be what was wrong. Jang Geun Seok z just 2 good ov an actor. Not that the rest ov the cast wasn't good; I just don't think that some ov the acting was @ the same lvl his z & some ov it was kinda cheesy. Like the parts w/ Mi Ho didn't rly measure up. She either wasn't evil enough or determined enough 2 be a real prob 4 Ha Na & Seo Jun, & Hye Jung's character was just annoying. It's not like she rly did anything except make herself look bad.

All-n-all I loved this drama. When I have the urge 2 watch a heartwarming, love-filled drama I will come back 2 this b/c the ppl n love never stop loving each other. 2 me that z what love z. Overcoming those problems 2gether instead ov trying 2 solve things on ur own. Good job n making me feel comfort n strong love that z possible, instead ov a fantasy.

This was such a great drama. It was pure and heartwarming. I loved every single moment of it. I now understand why the writers wanted such an actor like Jang Geun Suk to play the lead role because he did such an amazing job. Yoona's acting was also great here. They both delivered their characters very well and through their acting, they brought the story to life.

The plot was very interesting when I first read it and it was the reason why I was anxiously waiting for this drama. It was very well written. Destiny really does exist and the story has a great moral in it. While watching the drama I learned a lot. IF you truly are meant to be with a person, then no matter what you will be together but if not, then accept it and go on with your life.

Overall, the drama was great and I will surely miss this drama. It was surely an emotional rollercoster ride.

I admit, I started watching this show because I'm a huge fan of Wu Chun. I liked the initial interaction between Di Ya Xin (Wu Chun) and Yang Guang (Rainie Yang). However, the set up in the first episode really does not give the viewer a fair assessment of where this crazy thing is going to go.

Parts of the story are realistic, and parts are unbelievable. I have never skipped a part in any drama (i must be a serious masochist), but I very nearly came close to skipping parts in this show. After about five episodes the story lags, and the drama and angst begins. When I got through episode 17, I seriously questioned why I was still watching. The answer is that after you've gone so far, you might as well stick around for the ending (which is worth it. Episode 21 is probably the best.)

The actors were great.
Rainie's acting has never disappointed in a role, and she's very cute in this. Cute, but the character was still one of those blithe, brainless roles that lead to snarky comments about her character. In fact, Yang Guang's character really made me want to hit something because her character was too naive, even though her parents are con-artists. (this would be a writer's flaw, not an acting flaw)

Wu Chun. Where to start? If you like him, this show is eye candy. His character is believable, and his performance is lovely.

Angela (Liu Zi Yan) and Geng Fei (Zhang Jun Ning) were delightfully despicable, so despicable that it's almost hard to pity them. Almost. Job well done.

The music fit the mood, as it typically does in drama. None of it really stuck in my head afterward. Possibly because the drama's angst was so high, I needed to just forget about the show for periods of time before I could go back to watching. I didn't like the theme song.

What it comes down to is how much you can stand the pain of the tragedy and hardships and the frustrations caused by some characters' dumb decisions.

If you love a good villain, you'll like this show. If you love Rainie and/or Wu Chun, you'll probably watch this show.
Don't expect a lot of fanservice, but the scenes you will see as the relationship develop are rather sweet.
(i really want to spoil part of the end, but i won't. if/when you get to ep 22.. just.. just don't be surprised. i literally facepalmed.)

I'm just speechless. It's so hard to tell you guys how much I loved this. I mean it was so different than I thought it was going to be! The first time I ever heard of this drama I was thinking ehhh I'm not too sure about this at all, I mean it's called coffee prince, I mean what?? That's a weird name.. Sure there are plenty of other weird names but still! It may seem like a chick drama. But, my own brother liked this! And he hates all the Asian stuff because it's apparently "stupid and pointless" to watch. So that really has to mean something! Anyways I really enjoyed this and may see it again one day.
