Original subtitles

You shouldn't eat so late at night.

But I want seaweed rice balls.

Can you please buy me some, sis? Please?

You only call me "sis" when you want something from me.

Bye.

Hello.

Hi.

How have you been?

I sent you a text message. Why didn't you answer it?

I'm sorry.

About what?

About what happened the other day.

It was bothering me a little, too.

Should we forget about it?

I don't forget things easily.

Then maybe we should pretend to have forgotten about it?

Why do we have to do that?

So we can be friends again.

Friends?

Do you want to be friends with me?

Yes.

You listen to what I have to say

and buy me a lot of food to eat.

But I guess I'm being selfish.

No, you're not.

It's better to tell me the truth instead of being nice to me

and giving me a false sense of hope.

Hey!

At least I've made another good friend.

I'm so happy.

You should eat something. Your stomach is growling for food.

I wasn't hungry just a moment ago.

I guess seeing you brought back my appetite.

I've never had a day like today when I didn't feel hungry.

This will be a day to remember.

My boss told me not to come to work anymore.

He seemed really angry.

It was rough.

I thought things were good between us.

I just don't understand him at all.

I'm sorry.

I guess it has become a habit to tell you these things.

I think I've developed feelings for my boss.

I've fallen in love with him.

Are you surprised?

No.

I already guessed as much.

It did seem like Girl 2 was in love with Guy 1.

Things must be so complicated now.

That man thinks this woman is a man.

Are you planning to tell him anytime soon?

I think it's better to be close...

to him as a man than be rejected by him as a girl.

Let's grab a bite.

I'm buying to celebrate our renewed friendship.

What are you in the mood for? A burger?

Maybe pizza?

-Anything will do. -Anything?

-Something tasty. -Something tasty?

Han-gyeol!

Han-gyeol.

What's going on?

Come in.

Are you moving, Han-gyeol?

Take a seat.

Where?

Have you been eating?

Should I not ask you any questions?

Do you want some?

Eun-chan has been depressed and even lost weight after you left.

It would be better if you didn't ask any questions.

Han-gyeol.

Han-gyeol.

I think...

I'm in love with him.

-I'm in love with Eun-chan. -With my Chan?

So what, Han-gyeol? I love Eun-chan too.

He's making me lose my mind.

Damn it.

I don't even know what's going on anymore.

Does Eun-chan know about this?

How should I know if he knows?

It doesn't matter. I'll put an end to this soon.

Damn it.

You should eat instead of staring at your cell phone.

That buffoon Min-yeop won't call.

Good. That's what you wanted.

Why are you doing shoving food into your mouth like that?

I have to eat in order to work.

Eat slowly.

Ha-rim, shouldn't we add more tables since we have more customers?

Why won't Han-gyeol answer the phone?

Why hasn't the boss been coming in? Is he sick?

The coffee shop is doing so well. Did we do something to make him mad?

Hey, Eun-chan!

Han-gyeol hasn't shown up for days. Aren't you worried about him?

He's leaving for America in a month anyway.

Put it here.

We should work hard regardless of the boss coming in,

don't you think?

Since he's going to be quitting anyway?

All you can say is "he's leaving anyway" after all he has done for you?

You tagged him along everywhere until a few days ago

and now that he isn't here, you forget about him?

What else can I do?

Should I get on my knees and beg for him to come back?

How can you say such things?

How can you be so heartless?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Boss!

-Oh, you're here. -Yeah.

Are you busy?

I'm sorry about everything.

You stormed out of here like that only to be absent for four days?

I thought you were never coming back.

Are the sales going up?

Take a seat and have a cup of tea.

Do you have something to tell me?

Do I have to have something to say to drink tea with you? Take a seat.

You've lost weight.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Do you feel better now?

It will be three months soon. I have to do it until the end.

Grandma wants to see me do this.

I want to show my grandma that I can do a good job.

You've really matured, Han-gyeol.

I think we should add coffee shaved ice to our menu.

For the summer. Is it all right with you?

Can't you maintain a good relationship with Eun-chan?

I feel so awkward around you two.

I guess that's your business.

It's nice to have you back, boss.

Move the table near the entrance inside.

-It's blocking the entryway. -Sure!

You look pale. Are you feeling all right?

Would you like something to eat? How about some cake?

-You didn't have breakfast, did you? -I'm fine.

Did he hurt your feelings?

You're getting what you deserve.

Those two are so cute.

What's the matter?

Boss must have been very sick.

He sure looked that way.

Oh, no!

He's going to scold me when he finds out that I broke a dish.

So, are you going to New York?

He told me that other artists would kill to be in my position

and that made me so mad.

I had half a mind to tell him to use those other artists instead of me.

If you ask me, he won't be able to get an artist of your talent.

That's probably why DK doesn't want to lose you.

He's a smart guy.

I'm surprised that you praised DK.

Have you already made your decision to go?

I'm supposed to meet with DK later today.

Where is the best Korean restaurant in Seoul?

He said we should meet at the best Korean restaurant in Seoul.

-He's so unpredictable. -Are you going to go?

Option number one.

I go.

Option number two.

I wait.

Option number three.

I don't go or wait.

And we break up. Choose.

Why don't you answer?

Can you give me a little time?

How long?

A week? Ten days?

I guess you'll need more time than that.

-Is it difficult to just see him? -What do you mean?

It's written all over your face.

You won't even look in Eun-chan's direction.

If you're going to wear that expression, you should just run away.

Running away won't solve anything.

You better not tease me about this later on.

Hey, boss. Would you like a ride on my scooter?

Would you like a ride on my scooter?

-I'll pass. -How is your grandma?

It's none of your business.

And I don't want you around me anymore.

Stay more than two meters away from me.

If you don't like that, just leave.

Why does he have to be so mean to me?

Here is your iced Americano and your apple.

Have a nice day.

Hi, Han-gyeol.

What would you like?

-An iced mocha, please. -An iced mocha?

Hey, Eun-chan.

What do you think about homosexuality?

I don't have an opinion.

Then what do you think about Han-gyeol?

It's the 21st century.

If you like someone, who cares if...

What am I saying?

I need to use the restroom.

I'm sorry.

-Let me see that. -Wait a minute.

Angel.

Missed calls. Angel.

She has been bombarding you with calls.

She finally realizes your true worth.

I was thinking about calling her today.

If I keep this up, Eun-sae may never forgive me.

Do you want Eun-sae to be yours or not?

Can Eun-sae be mine?

Just looking at the two of you makes me feel good.

-Follow me. Just shut up and follow me. -Where are we going?

Hi, this is the Coffee Prince.

This is Inguk Life Insurance. Can you make a delivery?

-A delivery? -What is this?

A pizza parlor? Why is everyone asking for deliveries?

-This way, please. -Sure, we can.

30 cups of coffee and 20 waffles?

What time will you need that by?

I'll make the deliveries. An owner shouldn't be making deliveries.

Why not?

You've changed a lot. You would have never done this before.

Hey, Eun-chan!

My dear Eun-chan! Come over here.

My stomach is killing me.

You make this delivery!

I need to use the restroom.

WAFFLE

We make deliveries of 20 cups of coffee or more so call us any time.

Enjoy your coffee.

-We'll definitely be calling you again. -Thank you.

What's that aroma?

That looks delicious!

-The coffee has such a nice aroma! -There are waffles, too.

But I'm on a diet.

They smell so good.

This smells delicious!

-I can't wait to dive in. -The coffee smells amazing!

-What shall I try first? -This coffee was made by princes.

-Really? -Yeah!

Boss. I'm impressed, boss.

I bet sales will skyrocket now that we're making deliveries.

Am I not allowed to talk to him either?

Hey!

Get out of my car. Get out!

For crying out loud.

Get out. Get out of my car.

Move.

Why can't I come near you?

I said, move.

-If you're going to go, run over me. -That's what I would love to do!

I would love to run you over right this moment, do you know that?

How could you play with my feelings like that?

I thought you liked me!

We even became blood brothers!

Did you really wish that I was your brother?

Is that what you want?

I don't want to.

Do you think I wanted to?

You said you didn't want me to be a girl!

I thought you were glad that I was a guy!

What am I supposed to do

when you leave for America next month?

It was great going to the ocean with you.

I was fine by myself.

But look what you've done to me.

Didn't you ask me...

to leave you alone to get rid of your feelings for me?

I'm asking you to do the same thing.

Just leave me alone.

Get in the car.

Aren't you going back to the shop?

I'll only be here for another month.

This will all be over in a month.

I'm going to bear it until then so you bear it too.

You will be fine when you leave, won't you?

You won't care about how I'll feel.

Fine.

Then let's be together for just the remaining month.

Shut up.

I swear I'll punch you if you don't shut up!

"Why?"

I say, "What's up?" and he asks, "Why?"

I ought to kill that jerk!

Eun-sae.

I got into a screaming match with my boss today.

I asked him why he was being so moody

and why he is playing with my feelings.

And he said that his heart was in pain because of me.

I'm so stupid.

If you think about it,

I'm the one who's lying.

But I'm the one crying and screaming at him.

What am I going to do?

I'm putting him through so much pain.

Worrying like that won't solve anything.

You should just tell him the truth.

Your boss is in love with you too, isn't he?

Didn't you tell me not to tell him?

That was because I didn't know that you were so deeply in love with him.

I might never be able to see him again if I tell him.

And I'm scared that he'll get mad at me for lying to him.

I shouldn't keep lying to him like this.

But he's going back to America in a month.

Just for one more month,

if things could be the way they are...

How do you expect to put on a concert after only a few rehearsals?

That's why I need your help.

Yoo-joo told me that you cheated on her. What's all that about?

Are you really in love with someone else?

What if I am?

Are you going to steal Yoo-joo from me?

Maybe I should and we'll elope to an uninhabited island somewhere.

Shut up.

Isn't it funny?

I think it is.

Hey! What the heck do you think you're doing?

Can't you even keep a beat?

And you! You can't just pound away like that!

Forget it.

The way we're playing, they'll just throw rocks at us.

This is a real problem considering the concert is just around the corner.

This is really great for relieving stress.

Let's try it again.

We should at least try not to get stoned.

One, two, three, go!

COFFEE PRINCE CONCERT

Hi, boss.

What a racket!

Are you guys trying to scare off the crows?

Goodness.

How are you doing?

-You seem rather well, ma'am. -Hey, you.

You should've at least visited me in the hospital.

How could you ignore a sick old woman?

I would have just ended up raising your blood pressure

by visiting you.

You with all your excuses.

She's much better now. She has even returned to the company.

That's a relief to know!

I was worried about how you two slackers were running the shop

and I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm impressed with Han-gyeol.

I didn't think he would be up to the task but...

Have you ever seen me invest my money without just cause?

But don't tell him what I said.

He's so full of himself that if he finds out I praised him, it will go to his head.

I see you know him well.

Grandma!

You are here too, mom.

I see you've done quite well.

Is there any place here where I could sit?

-Of course there is. Take a seat. -Okay.

Is it all right for you to have coffee?

Of course, it is.

Sit over here, grandma.

-And sit over there, mom. -Okay.

-Two coffees and a slice of cake, right? -Yes.

Will you take a look at him?

He's quite strong for someone his size.

He looked like a child at the hospital,

but he's quite a handsome young man.

Hey!

How are you doing?

Hello, ma'am.

Hello, ma'am.

I hope you're working hard here.

Of course. I work really hard, ma'am.

Are you really planning to go to America?

Of course, I am.

I wish you wouldn't go to America.

Couldn't you just stay in Korea?

Why don't we elope together, mom?

You have to keep your promise.

You can't keep your children by your side forever.

Can I get the check here, please?

Okay. Just a minute.

-Don't overexert yourself with your work. -Stop worrying!

-Okay, grandma? -Okay.

Watch your head.

I heard everything from your dad.

You must have been so hurt.

I want to go on a trip with you.

Make time for me.

Can you do that?

People might think we've eloped together.

-I'll see you later, mom. -Bye.

Why are you acting like a child towards me?

You said that you didn't like me.

That's why I'm going to ignore you from now on.

I said I didn't like you as a man.

But I like you as a friend.

I don't want to be...

Well...

I don't want to be your friend, Ji-hyang!

Look here! We've been neighbors for the past seven years

and then suddenly, you ask me to be your girlfriend and it's awkward.

I've decided to go on blind dates from now on.

I've decided to give up on you.

Go on your stupid blind dates!

I won't stop you. How could you be so mean?

You very petty man!

Good day!

Jeez!

-Eun-chan! -What are you doing here?

We're here for the concert.

You guys better watch your mouths!

Don't you worry!

I've made them promise not to tell anyone.

Anyways, where is Seon-gi?

-Break a leg, Eun-chan! -I wonder where he is?

Don't do anything stupid!

Drop the cable, Han-gyeol!

Okay!

Cool.

This is impressive.

You're here.

Congratulations!

Thanks!

Where is Han-gyeol?

He's inside.

Hey, Ha-rim!

Han-sung, how are you doing?

PRINCE CONCERT 7:30 P.M. TONIGHT AT THE COFFEE PRINCE

APPLAUSE!

The lights are so beautiful!

MINI CONCERT OF PRINCES

Hello, everyone!

I would like to thank you for coming to our concert in this hot weather.

I'm DJ Min-yeop, the youngest prince!

Now, introducing the princes of the Coffee Prince Shop!

Here's Everything-Is-Such-a-Bother, Mr. Hong!

Dreamy Han-gyeol!

Eun-chan the Cute Klutz!

Smug Ha-rim!

Waffle Seon-gi!

And last but not least,

who is your favorite prince?

Min-yeop!

Thank you very much!

We'll begin the first piece of the night!

Hit it!

-Coffee Prince! -Coffee Prince!

-Coffee Prince! -Coffee Prince!

One, two!

We should have made this place into a nightclub.

Come over here, Eun-chan. And you, too.

It must be nice to be young. Great.

-This way. -Ha-rim!

What are you doing? Stop it!

I said, stop it!

Hey, Seon-gi, let's dance together.

Is this how you do it? Like this?

Like this?

Don't stop!

I'm so beat!

I have a present for you.

What?

What's this?

It's the first coffee bean I've ever roasted.

Even though it's not good, they have sentimental value.

Thanks for helping us out with the concert.

There's something for Sweeper too.

It's a chew toy!

Sweeper will love this.

Is it really all right for me to take this coffee?

I'm just worried that you might get a stomachache from it.

I'm still only a beginner.

Thanks.

Why do you talk to him like you're talking to a woman?

Are you into guys, Eun-chan?

You used to come on to me. Is he your next target?

How do you feel when Eun-chan acts this way towards you, Han-sung?

I like it.

-Really? -Yes.

I don't really like it.

I'm beginning to feel like a third wheel around you two.

You guys are acting like a couple.

I wonder if there's anybody for me.

Oh, I know!

There's Yoo-joo.

Hey.

I should get going. I'm not feeling so well.

Eun-chan!

Why are you giving him such a hard time?

I'm going after him.

You should go.

Didn't Yoo-joo say she would visit you?

It's all right.

The boss says that I shouldn't come to work anymore.

Even Mr. Hong seems to agree with him.

You know what?

I don't want to quit.

I have to make money.

That's an excuse.

It's because I like coffee so much.

Actually, that's an excuse, too.

He's so warm, caring, and funny.

I like him so much that I forget that I'm deceiving him.

I know that I shouldn't deceive him.

But I wish...

I wish he would just stay by my side.

I wish he would only love me.

I wish he wouldn't go to America.

But just look at me.

I'm not a guy and I'm not a girl either!

I'm too scared to tell him the truth.

Choi Han-gyeol!

Thanks for everything.

I'm so tired of saying thanks to everyone.

I'm always saying thanks day in and day out.

Aren't you tired of being thanked?

Good night.

I don't know what this feeling is.

I just like staying by your side and watching you laugh and cry.

It makes me happy.

That's what I like.

Promise me one thing.

Act whatever way you want in front of me.

Promise me that you'll never hide

your feelings from me. Okay?

Promise.

I promise.

You should go now.

Hey.

Where are you right now?

I'm on my way home.

Is Eun-chan with you?

Did you take her home?

Yeah.

Really?

I'm with Han-gyeol right now.

They are in love.

Han-gyeol and Eun-chan are in love.

I don't know what to say to that.

Should I be comforting you?

No, I'm all right.

Okay. Bye.

I'm so sorry, Han-gyeol.

Why are you sorry to me?

You called Han-sung to see him. Why aren't you meeting him?

Are you avoiding each other?

I was hoping that no one would get hurt.

That's too much to ask for.

-Here's your coffee. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Your performance yesterday was so great.

Thank you.

I guess the performance yesterday really did go well.

Thanks to Han-sung.

Are you close to Han-sung?

Yeah. We see each other often.

What do you do together?

We play with the dog, ride bikes, eat together,

-and go out for drinks. -Isn't that a date?

You're a lot closer to men than you should be.

Men don't usually walk like this.

Then do they walk backward?

Men don't walk leisurely on the grass

like this in their bare feet.

They only do it when they're trying to impress women.

Here.

DK, I haven't...

The plants in our New York home are dying.

I need you to revive them.

I thought you didn't keep plants.

Didn't you say you're not good at keeping them?

People are bound to change.

Come and see if you don't believe me.

I guess you're right. People do change.

I'm hungry.

Let's get something to eat.

Who are you, sir?

A cook.

How old are you?

Four years old.

Mom!

No-eul is here.

Mom! No-eul is here.

-Mom! -Hello! My little No-eul is here.

-Thank you, ma'am. -Have a nice day, ma'am.

-Bye. -Hi, No-eul. Did you have fun today?

We received a large order.

They want it by 7:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.

To where?

The stock company near the intersection.

Someone will have to come in really early.

I'll do it.

I've already talked to Seon-gi about it.

Look how tiny your waist is.

What are we going to do with someone this weak?

I'll do it.

Eun-chan!

Take a look at this!

What's that?

"Let's meet tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. I'll be waiting for you."

Eun-sae says she'll be waiting for me.

She'll be waiting for me!

-Eun-chan! -Stop it!

Eun-chan!

Let go of me!

Hey, wait a minute! What is it? Let me see!

-Would you like to see, boss? -Yeah.

My angel seems to have given into me and she wants to meet tomorrow!

What has gotten into him?

Go ahead.

Okay.

I see you are still full of surprises,

showing up like this unexpectedly.

It has been 15 years, hasn't it?

I didn't think you would, but you've grown old.

Have you told your mom that I'm here?

Han-gyeol is doing well.

I'm about to start a new business venture

in Libya.

When things get going there, I'll be in the Middle East for years.

What a great view.

I heard you visited Seoul last year.

Why didn't you call me?

You must miss Han-gyeol.

This coffee has a nice aroma.

It's really delicious.

Really?

Is it really delicious?

I roasted it for a long time and it's a little dark.

I guess you like dark coffee.

That's a relief.

Where is Seon-gi?

He is in the restroom.

I'll talk to you later.

Okay. Is Han-gyeol there?

-Yeah. -Then I'll call you later. Bye.

Hey.

I love the aroma of this coffee. Can I have some too?

Hey. Who washed this cup?

I can't believe what a hard time that lady's giving me about this cup!

What's the matter?

This lady kept complaining about this dirty cup.

I had to apologize to her, like, seven times.

God. My ears hurt from all her complaining.

Who washed this cup?

I don't know.

I think maybe I did.

This is what happens when you are on the phone all day long!

I'm sorry. I'll shape up, boss.

Do you think sorry is going to cut it?

Stop it, Han-gyeol.

There are customers outside.

You clean up tonight.

I'll clean everything spick and span.

I'm sorry.

What a temper.

I just got all the necessary documents.

I'm going to New York with DK.

I think the work will be fun.

And I want to start over with DK.

DK says he's still in love with me

and seeing him makes me feel the same way.

I've always been that kind of girl.

You know how fickle I am.

I won't let you go.

Don't go.

Thanks for saying that.

You're right.

I had feelings for Eun-chan.

Actually, I still do.

But don't leave.

I'm going to return to you soon so you don't go!

They are not just feelings.

You are in love with Eun-chan.

You are so foolish.

You don't even know that you're in love with someone new.

I don't really want to talk anymore.

-Good night. -Good night, Mr. Hong.

-Let's go out drinking! -Eun-chan!

I made him clean the shop because he didn't focus on his job.

You guys better not fool around at work!

Okay.

Can you massage my back?

-"I'll be waiting for you!" -That will be 1,000 won.

You're so obsessed with money.

Han-gyeol shows his affection in a strange way.

Eun-chan is in for a difficult evening of cleaning.

I know. Cleaning the entire coffee shop is no job for a woman.

A woman?

It would be so nice if he were a woman.

Leave them alone. Gender doesn't matter when you're in love.

Do you know something that I don't, Mr. Hong?

Everybody knows it.

They make a lovely couple.

How can you say such a thing?

Eun-chan is a girl.

There's no reason they can't be together.

And what if she was a guy?

Is Eun-chan a girl?

It's none of your business.

Really?

It's top secret!

You idiot.

-Let's go! Let's go on in! -Hey!

You've got to shape up, Eun-chan!

How can you do such a slack job just because of a man?

You don't even read coffee books anymore! What are you going to do?

That's strange.

How could you keep that a secret, Mr. Hong?

Do you know how much heartache Han-gyeol went through so far?

And how could you two do that?

It's strictly between those two.

Don't stick your nose in other people's business.

Are his feelings that serious?

I didn't know that he was in love with her.

How could you!

He's been going through hell

and you've just been laughing.

He's just in love with someone, not dying of cancer.

And the pain that he is feeling is a good kind of pain.

Just leave them be!

He is going through those feelings because he can, don't you think?

How could you say that?

You almost died of love--

I was the happiest I've ever been as I was dying of love.

Han-gyeol's going to think the same way later on.

How can you be so self-centered?

I understand Eun-chan.

She has to support her poor family.

She did what she had to do for the job.

It's not like she was happy about lying.

Then she should have told the truth after she got the job!

Ha-rim.

Why are you so angry?

You're no better than those two.

You fooled us.

-What a jerk. -Get his phone.

Ha-rim!

Sit down.

-Hey! Let go of me! -Open the door.

Calm down, Ha-rim!

Open the door! Open the damn door!

Hey! The neighbors might call the police.

Han-gyeol!

Han-gyeol!

Han-gyeol!

Han-gyeol!

Why did you come back?

I wasn't trying to ruin the mural.

I was just touching it up.

Just once...

I'm going to tell you this just once so listen closely.

I love you.

Whether you're a guy

or an alien,

I don't care anymore.

It's just too difficult for me to forget about you.

So let's take this all the way.

All the way.

Why did we both have to be men, Eun-chan?

I feel this aching and heaviness in my heart as if it were full of ice.

I'm leaving a little early because of DK's schedule.

We're leaving next Sunday.

Do you really know how I feel?
