Synopsis

Han Kyul is the cocky son of a rich family who runs a coffee franchise. He doesn't believe in love and certainly doesn't want to get married despite his family's requests. On the other hand, Eun Chan is a 24-year old tomboyish female who gets mistaken as a guy quite often. She takes up every job possible - waitress, delivery man, etc - and has the responsibility of taking care of her mother and younger sister. Eun Chan accidentally meets Han Kyul twice, once on a delivery and once during a robbery. During the robbery, Eun Chan's delivery motorcycle ends up being destroyed. Han Kyul not knowing that Eun Chan is actually a girl, decides to hire Eun Chan as a false "boyfriend" in exchange for money so that he can escape marriage. Meanwhile, Hwan Sung is an established music producer and Yoo Joo is a famous painter who studied in New York. The two were lovers for about 8 years but their relationship ended when Yoo Joo broke up with Hwang Sung. Two years after they separated their paths cross again when Yoo Joo wants to get back together with Hwang Sung. We can only wait and watch what happens in the deliciously aromatic "Coffee Prince's First Shop".

Book Information

With a foolish mother and the need to look after her younger sister, flower boy Go Eun Chan has had to give up the feminine image. It's a love story with Choi Han Kyul, who knows women well and thinks of himself as a great guy.

After accidentally being mistaken for a man, she starts working at Coffee Prince, and falls in love with the hot-tempered owner Choi Han Kyul. But Choi Han Kyul thinks she's a man, and furthermore doesn't believe in love. So she can't confess that she's a woman, and he continues thinking that the agonized Go Eun Chan is a man. Choi Han Kyul thinks he's experiencing feelings of homosexuality towards her, and gets heartsick. This side of him was drawn in a risky but fun way.
