Synopsis
With a foolish mother and the need to look after her younger sister, “pretty boy” Go Eun Chan has to give up her feminine image to help support the family with multiple jobs. Because of her previous experience with Tae Kwon Do, Eun Chan has quite the bold and opinionated personality. Choi Han Kyul seems to know women well and thinks of himself as a great guy.
After accidentally being mistaken for a man by Han Kyul’s older brother, Choi Han Seong, she starts working at Coffee Prince, and falls in love with the hot-tempered owner Choi Han Kyul. Han Kyul hires Eun Chan to avoid an arranged marrage by pretending to be romantically linked to a “gay” Eun Chan. But Choi Han Kyul slowly starts to develop feelings for her, but still doesn’t believe in love. Eun Chan also starts to have feelings for Han Kyul but can’t confess that she’s a woman, Han Kyul, 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.
The part when he discovers that Go Eun Chan is a woman is shown in an undemanding way, and the story doesn’t concentrate on just these two people, but also on the other people who frequent Coffee Prince. These people are shown one by one in a natural way, and since the story isn’t just about romance but about the natural conflicts of all the characters.

PS: Thanks to with with2l@Soompi, there will be MU links for each ep of this drama. There are 2 subbing groups for this drama and depending upon demand, I might upload both version regularly. Also, there might not be both MU/SS links for each ep. But don’t worry, you will get to complete the whole drama completely if they are released in c-subs.
Updates
(July 9): I decided to just upload the TSXZ/TSKS version of this drama. There are 3 official groups subbing it and I find TSXZ/TSKS to be the most consistent one. To reduce clutter, I am removing all the other links.
(September 7): Just updated the thread to be complete. None of the subbing group are subbing the Coffee Prince SP. If the SP is released with subs in the near future, I will update the thread and also post a note on Soompi.
