To be more specific, this is the second time I watched a Korean drama from the very beginning.
The last Korean drama I watched is "Full House" with Rain in it. It was huge at that time, like all Taiwan has been surrounded under the "Rainism." However, I didn't really start watching until my friend gave me a bunch of VCDs she burnt with full episodes. I kept them for quite a time, and watched it in a nite when a huge typhoon came and I couldn't leave the house. I couldn't even leave my computer at all, but just kept watching episodes after one another. I stayed up until dawn, went to sleep for couple of hours, then started watching again. It was definitely one of my craziest watching experiences ever.
This time, the coffee prince started with a intereting beginning. The storyline itself was smooth. So far during the two episodes there was no crazy mean characters yet, simply a romance comody type. I heard the reason for Coffee Prince to be this popular because it touched the topic of queerness, which was a controvertial issue in Korea before. I know there was a drama that both Taiwan and Japan made it into a drama base on a Japanese manga "Hanazakari no Kimitachie." This too, has its leading girl character disguised as a boy and lived in the dorm with the male leading character. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.
Meanwhile, when I was searching for news about Coffee Prince, I heard its going to be a movie. Not to spoil the fun, but one of the main characters in this drama passed away of car accident in 2008. I found this website http://www.imbc.com/broad/tv/drama/coffeeprince/ (in Korean) that introduce all shooting locations about this drama. Also, the latest news about this drama is that Phillipines purchased the copyright and would reshoot the drama into Phillipino version. http://nownews.seoul.co.kr/news/newsView.php?id=20090407601008
