Coffee Prince 3 & 4

Still having good watching experiences this week. From these two episodes, I tried to focus on the "Asianess" or the "Koreaness" in the drama. I think Coffee Prince was trying to break some typical gender issue as the scene when the couple were having fight in the rain, the girlfriend changed from obedient to the type of girl similar to the movie "My Sassy Girl." Also, usually boys eat more than the girls do, but En Chan really eats A LOT! I wonder where did the food go. I also found out Eun Chan did have many food scenes in this drama, making the impression that she eats as much as a man does, so Han Kyul has never doubted her identity. I have to confess that everytime when I saw her eating something I become hungry soon and start stuffing my mouth with snacks. I guess this can be anotherr negative effect.

Also in the third episode, new characters began to show up. I want to know more about the waffle maker becuase he sounds Japanese to me when he speaks Japanese, and there is no background information of him. Meanwhile, the drama brought in the steps of coffee making. I rewind three times when it showed the latte art. I think it is also the by-product of watching Coffee Prince, that audience can learn some background knowledge of coffee. I don't know by now how much or how detail the drama will show about the coffee industry, but I will definitely want to know more for sure. I think mainly from this two episodes the focus was on the opening of The First Shop of Coffee Prince. I like the part when the mistake of giving order to wrong amount of raw coffee beans, what Han Kyul thought of is the strategy of crisis management, which surprised me since I thought this drama is only a relaxing one, nothing serious. But it indeed gives a good example on telling people how to solve problems when it occured.

p.s. the stuffy toy that Eun Chan trying to sell is "Keroro Gunso," the next fad after Picachu.
