I have to admit that the show came to a satisfying and somewhat realistic ending. Unlike many American dramas, the writers did not feel the need to have some big wedding at the end for Han Kyul and Eun Chan. Instead, the viewer is left with knowing that the two characters love each other and they are going to take things one day at a time and in doing so, they will be married soon. Also, another difference is the fact that Eun Chan is able to study abroad in Italy for a couple of years away from Han Kyul and their love remains strong. In American dramas, the woman usually changes her mind about leaving at the last minute and her and her boyfriend remain together. It was refreshing to see that this did not happen in Coffee Prince. American drama writers should seriously consider taking some notes. Perhaps, the only thing that they should not take notes of is the male characters singing over the phone to their female love interests. Those scenes were really cheesy and went on for entirely too long in my opinion.
Another aspect that I like is that most if not all of the main characters ended up with either a significant other or at least a possible love interest. It was good to see Sun Ki finally getting over that older woman he was desperately pursuing with the help of the new female employee who also seems to know how to speak Japanese. The only couple that I did not like at the end is the same one that I have not liked since the beginning of the show. That couple is Min Yeop and Eun Sae. Eun Sae seems like she is still just using Min Yeop, but now, she is using him as a meal ticket. She always seems to depend on others for everything and never cares about the other person's feelings. The writers should have given him another love interest like they did for Sun Ki. Overall, I thought the show was well done and I would recommend it and "My Lovely Sam Soon" to other people who have never seen a Korean drama before.
