I only started last week but today, I watched the last episode of Coffee Prince at mysoju.com.
I laughed, I cried, and I went to the bathroom and cried some more. Koreans. We are gifted at capturing passion and the human experience in all its emotion.
I've been thinking about why I love this drama so much. Here are some thoughts:
- There's no overanalysis. You don't have to wonder if there's someone better out there for you or if you should move on since you broke up. Either you love him or not. Simple as that.
- There's no right or wrong. It's all about your gut.
- There's no shame in crying like a baby, running to his apartment, pounding on his front door, and waiting until he comes.
- You accept that humans are humans. When they are cranky or angry, you can laugh it off. Life is just like that.
- Loyalty, jung, friendship, hard work--all virtues
And my friend M. said:
"I like how they fight for real."
Yes, there is no fear of fighting. Couples duke it out and get it all out there. They show their emotions. All of this shows me how much I am so much SANER than I thought I was. I am so not meant to be this put together Western Protestant evangelical relational person. It just does not fucking work!
The special commentary explained my attraction to the drama well:
"Whether it's about homosexuality or aliens, It's a drama for youthful people who believe that when you have love, there is nothing to fear."
It's really good. Try and catch it if you can. You'll get sucked into 17 hours of laughter and love.
I leave you with a scene where Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) wakes Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) with a song from his swanky rooftop flat.
