Original subtitles

I don't want to send you away either.

I wouldn't want to work here without you around,

so, why would I want you to go?

But I want you to broaden your horizons.

You said that becoming a barista was the first dream you've ever had.

If you're going to become a barista, become the best.

I don't want you to give up your dreams because of me.

I want to support you so you can develop and better yourself.

Although we'll be apart for the time being, later on,

when you make your first batch of kimchi,

when you hold our first child,

I'll always be by your side.

Even though it may be hard while we're apart,

let's try our best to bear it out.

These pants are stuck!

Did you sleep well?

The day has gotten bright.

Oh, no! My mom's going to kill me.

I came out without telling her.

I'll go with you and tell your mom that you were at my place.

No. I'll tell her.

Where did my clothes go?

There. I'll get them for you.

No! I'll pick them up. I will.

Hold on.

It's embarrassing. Could you leave me alone for a minute?

What's so wrong with me looking at my girl?

When did these fall down?

-What? What now? -There's one right here too.

Hold on.

You're light as a feather!

You should eat as much of this as possible

because you won't be able to eat this in Italy.

What is this girl going to eat when she can't even eat greasy stuff?

It's a worry to send you.

What should we eat?

Train.

What's this? A spaceship?

You have to call often.

You have to call at least once a day.

What's up with the requests? It's not like you're going to go tomorrow.

When I said that I was going to New York,

you said that you were going to call me once a week.

That was then and this is now.

You're so selfish.

Don't grow your hair out there or wear miniskirts.

If men ask if you have a boyfriend, tell them you're married.

Actually, don't even hang around guys. Okay?

Then what am I supposed to do? Live like a hermit?

Don't make excuses.

You can just say yes, but you just complain.

Don't overwork. If your head hurts, rest.

Also, make sure to relax when your shoulders feel stiff. Okay?

You're the one who should watch out for her health.

It's a difficult thing being sick in a foreign land.

Make sure to call me if you're feeling sick.

If you just stupidly endure it, then I'm going to give you a scolding.

I think we'll miss each other, right?

Yeah.

I'll have to see you as much as possible before I leave.

Eyes, nose, and mouth, all mine.

It's all mine.

Stop it. It's ticklish.

Get on my back!

Let's go on a date every day before you leave.

Where did you say that you wanted to go before?

Theme park? 63 Building? Movie theater?

Minsokchon?

Let's go to all of them.

Let's go to all of them.

What about the Namsan Tower?

Namsan? Namsan.

-Oh, Eun-sae. -Hey!

Are you in your right mind?

You were with your boyfriend last night, weren't you?

What am I doing asking you?

Listen carefully.

I said that you were going straight to the café, after you exercise,

so don't come home and go straight to work.

All right. Thanks.

You two owe me. You know that, right?

Okay! I'll talk to you later.

Was that your sister?

Eun-sae seems to have made excuses for me to our mom.

I should give her lots of allowance money then.

What allowance money?

Her personality's going to get worse.

Why are you coming together?

We ran into each other.

We should prepare to open.

There's something. Something smells fishy.

She's still in the same clothes!

-Something happened at night, right? -I should help her.

Did you hit a home run? Is that it?

Stop with the useless chatter and get back to work.

I'm right. Where are you trying to run away?

Look. Look into my eyes.

She always wears the same clothes for three days!

Eun-chan!

What should we do for Eun-chan when she leaves?

I think she will need living expenses the most,

but I don't think she will accept it.

We should get a round-trip airplane ticket for Han-gyeol.

He's so down because Eun-chan's going.

We don't know if he will go and come back once a month if he goes on like this.

That's very different than someone I know.

What? Me?

What did I do?

When I went to study overseas in Paris,

how many times did you visit?

I wanted to go,

but I was so busy with my final paper.

Han-gyeol would have visited regardless of his final paper.

I'm so jealous of Eun-chan.

I'm so jealous of Han-gyeol.

Eun-chan's probably six years younger than you, right?

-Are you really done talking? -Yeah.

Really?

Don't do it!

-Hey! Stop it! Stop! -Say that again!

What are you doing scuttling around like that?

I have my reasons.

Hey! Eun-chan! Jeez! Keep working.

Why are you like that?

-Does that feel good? -Stop it! You're tickling me!

Congratulations!

-Be quiet! -Congratulations!

-Mr. Hong! -Ha-rim.

Eun-chan and Manager Choi were in the bathroom,

lowering their pants and were kissing!

This isn't the first time they've been caught in the act.

Just leave them alone!

Look at him sweat. Oh! Your zipper's open!

Go to the bathroom and look at Eun-chan's face.

Her face is shining.

She came out!

Isn't it completely different than yesterday?

-It's sweat. -Sweat? It's sweat?

Hey! I think I saw Byeol around.

Byeol? My Byeol? Where is she? Where?

What kind of situation is this?

She's kind of suspicious. Isn't she a player?

Say something that makes sense. What do you look in her to take her for...

I really can't figure her out.

The way I see it, she's playing you.

Hey!

Why are you cleaning all day?

And look at what a slipshod job you're doing!

Mop harder for crying out loud!

All right.

Hard.

Don't keep doing it in the same place.

Do it in places like here and in corners like this.

-I already mopped it here. -You need to be thorough.

Hold it.

Go ahead and mop in straight lines.

Straight.

Straight. Turn.

I'll do this area later.

Are you bored?

You're strong so... What? Are you mocking your boss?

Just do what you're told to do. Give that to me.

-Here. Do it quickly. -All right.

Do it next to the corners... nooks and crannies.

There's a lot of dust in places like this.

Turn it around once.

-Like this? -Right, now straight.

Straight.

Where are you going? Not there!

Make another turn!

Mop again. Just once isn't enough. It's dirty there.

Mop all the way to the end.

Why are you doing this?

-Straight! One more time! -Like that!

-Straight! -Good job.

Oh! What is this?

What is this?

Let's take a look inside!

They're shoes. Maybe a customer left it there by accident?

These shoes look like they'll fit you. Why don't you try them on?

Why would I try them on? They're not mine! Jeez!

Baristas have to stand for a long time.

Your feet have to feel comfortable for you not to feel tired.

Did you hide it there?

How did you know my size?

Your feet are about as wide as my hand.

You really moved me.

Thanks. But I'm feeling sad right now.

I haven't done anything for you.

There's something you can do for me.

Scratch my back?

Where? Here?

That's it! That feels good!

That feels so good!

You shouldn't just shower all the time.

You should have someone scrub you at the public bath.

Promise me that you will scratch my back for me even when I'm older.

They have backscratchers for that kind of thing, you know.

But they say that if you buy women shoes, they run away.

Are you all right with that?

Don't worry. I stuck a lucky charm on the bottom of the shoes.

Really? Where?

"You are mine."

"Choi Han-gyeol."

He thinks of everything, doesn't he?

Don't work too hard over there, and focus on broadening your horizons.

I can't just relax over there.

This is a rare opportunity, and I plan to make the most of it.

So I have to work hard.

I bet you'll miss me so much when you get there

that you'll come back right away.

I'm more worried about the person who's saying that.

What about me?

I'm worried you'll miss me so much that you'll come to Italy every week.

Wait. My battery's almost dead.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Okay.

There's something I'm curious about.

Isn't your ideal woman someone

who's sexy and feminine like Yoo-joo?

-I'm right, right? -Yeah.

How did you know?

So, why did you fall for someone like me?

I'm completely the opposite of Yoo-joo.

You know that I'm a very altruistic person.

And I figured if I didn't fall for you, no one would.

Your voice turns husky because of one little thing,

you're stubborn so you never listen to anyone,

you drink a lot and you eat tons of food.

I've decided to sacrifice myself.

Same here.

You're not exactly my type either.

What?

Then who is your ideal guy?

Someone like my dad.

Someone like your dad?

Your dad seems quite different from me from what I can tell.

He sounds like he was a kind, gentle, and loving guy.

Yeah. He's completely different from you.

But there are some similarities.

Similarities? What?

Where?

Eyes.

Eyes?

When you smile, looking into my eyes, your eyes look exactly like my dad's eyes.

Hey. My eyes are so handsome.

They're masculine and strong.

Such eyes are hard to find, you know.

Hey? Why aren't you answering?

Hello?

Are you sleeping?

Koh Eun-chan.

Really...

You have to hang up your phone for me to hang up.

What are you doing, kiddo? Hey!

How can you really sleep?

How cute.

Are you really asleep? Calling Eun-chan.

Hang up the phone and sleep!

So cute. What do I do?

I'm going to die.

Hey.

Eun-chan.

Wake up.

Aren't you happy when I wake you up?

Koh Eun-chan, Koh Eun-sae!

Aren't you guys going to eat?

Your mom's calling you.

See you later.

Okay.

Go home early since you must have a lot of things to pack and organize.

Don't disappoint your mom.

Go home early and be with her too.

Okay, Mr. Hong.

Make sure not to skip meals, and I'll be back as soon as possible,

so take care of my mom while I'm gone, okay?

Jeez! You don't have to say farewell like this.

You should always keep your farewells short.

Mister, you know I really like you, don't you?

Stop it. Han-gyeol might get jealous.

There's a hole.

It feels good, right?

Eun-chan.

Do you have something to say?

What is this?

A present.

A goodbye present.

Present?

It's make-up.

I'm sure that you would be almost as pretty as Eun-sae

if you make yourself up a little.

Thanks.

Eun-chan, you know that I really like you and respect you, don't you?

Don't worry about Eun-sae and your mom. I'll take care of them.

I'm glad that you'll be here with them.

Take care of them for me, Min-yeop.

Eun-chan!

Go for it!

What are you doing? It's awkward.

Take care of yourself, and come back safely.

You will do well. I believe in you.

Thanks, Seon-gi.

Fighting!

Fighting!

Why are you coming out so early?

I'm not ready to go in yet.

Ha-rim,

I know that we've had our differences,

but you know I like you a lot, don't you?

Why are you crying?

Don't cry.

Bye!

My Chan, have a nice time studying in Italy.

I don't know how I'll stay cheerful after you leave.

Since you can sleep and eat well wherever you go,

that doesn't worry me,

But there's just one thing that does, you and men.

You should better not be won over by some guy's flowery words

or killer smile.

I'll handle Han-gyeol over here,

so don't worry.

If only you weren't his girl,

I could've tried pursuing you.

-I'm going to miss you so much, my Chan! -"I'm going to miss you so much."

PS, Don't forget. Dreams really do come true!

"Dreams really do come true.

Dreams really do come true."

Go for it!

But I don't want to go.

I can't. I have to go to the studio later.

I thought you weren't going to participate in the exhibit.

That doesn't mean I don't have work to do.

You're such a meanie, Han-sung.

I've cut back on my workload,

and I'm trying not to go out with friends for the baby,

so why are you acting like this?

Is there something you want to eat?

What? No, I'm all right.

Then wait. Your hubby is going to eat dinner.

Hey! Yoo-joo!

You should sleep a little more.

The winters over there aren't as cold as the winters in Seoul.

Don't pack it too much making it heavy.

What? I shouldn't pack my winter clothes?

I'll visit you this winter,

and I'll bring you any clothes you might need then.

You're coming in the winter?

Winter is so far off.

Shouldn't you take more?

You can't eat rice without fermented soy paste and chili paste.

I'll have to pack some more kimchi.

Mom! Some pepper flakes too.

It's good if you sprinkle it over some greasy food.

Why are you laughing?

If you go to the Korean market there,

there's bean paste, pepper paste, and pepper flakes.

-You can just buy and eat it there. -Really?

Mom! Don't pack the food. They also sell it in Italy.

Shouldn't you pack these books? Won't you need to study them?

Why did you bring those down? I've already read them all.

Take them away. Put them back. Grab this.

Have you packed your emergency medicine?

Stomach pain medicine or painkillers.

It may not suit you,

so take them with you in case of emergency.

Mom... Where's the stomach pain medicine?

-Hold on. -Yeah.

I can't stop worrying about her.

Jeez, will you put down the phone and concentrate on packing your bags?

-Eun-chan. -Yes?

I'm not coming out to the airport tomorrow.

I might not let you go if I do.

Okay.

I'll call you later.

When you go there,

don't eat anything that you see over there.

And be careful of strangers.

Don't play along with them because they seem nice.

Don't worry.

What else do we need to pack?

Where's the memo where I wrote down all the things to pack?

I'm so forgetful.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Why do I feel so empty?

Without Eun-chan, there's no spirit.

The boss still hasn't come back from a delivery?

I bet he's hiding somewhere sobbing.

You think we should have seen Eun-chan off at the airport?

Why is the mood so dark here today?

What did you say?

By the way, where did Mr. Hong go?

I wonder if she's already in the air.

Darn it, I miss her.

I told Mom and Eun-sae not to come out either.

I felt like that my feet won't lift

if I see Mom and Eun-sae cry if they came to the airport.

You did well.

You might get airsick, so try to sleep on the plane.

And when you arrive, the boarding house owner will probably be out there.

You have her number, don't you?

How many times do I have to check?

I'm not a kid, you know.

You'll be late for your flight. Board your plane.

Call me when you arrive.

All right.

I'll hang up now.

Take care.

Bye. Take care.

Wait!

I love you.

I love you.

Choi Han-gyeol.

I love you.

I know, kiddo.

TWO YEARS LATER...

April 20, 2009.

To Han-gyeol. Here's a kiss!

September 2008.

I bring up your face and mine in the autumn sky of Milan.

December 2007.

There are lots of dashing guys here.

There are a lot of guys here

-who have a crush on me. -Good morning.

Still, you're the most handsome of them all!

May 2008.

I miss you so much, Han-gyeol.

It's currently 10:40.

I've been sleeping in because I don't have work.

-I'm sleeping late these days. -I will eat well.

I get confused if I came here to study or to play sometimes.

But thanks to you and grandma, I'm learning a lot.

It's so interesting.

Thank you so much, Han-gyeol.

I love you so much.

I'll finish my studies and speed back to you.

I miss you.

I really miss you.

I really miss you!

I love you.

Here's a kiss for you!

January 4, 2009.

I'm eating delicious hamburgers. We should come here together later on.

It's so big that I think that I'll be okay to share.

January 4, 2009.

As I long for Coffee Prince, I chomp on hamburgers.

There's not much time left.

From the barista to the employees,

the first Coffee Princess hires only women

which will attract coffee lovers

with a new charm that is different from Coffee Prince's charm.

Han-gyeol!

Yeah, good.

Just look at the main model!

She's so plain. She looks like any other girl!

Why do they keep making me take my clothes off?

It's not like I'm shooting for Playgirl.

Hey! This is how all models get their start.

And plus, you have such a unique profile, Min-yeop.

Back up model! Get ready!

Okay!

Don't forget, Min-yeop.

My dream is for you to walk the runways of New York and Paris someday.

Angel, Do you think they'll shoot me from the front someday?

Of course. It's amazing that you've come this far in just a few months.

Just believe me.

Your pecs are looking great!

-Fighting! -Fighting!

Move closer to him, Su-jin,

and put your left hand on his shoulder.

Hello. Here.

This is that guy's portfolio.

Good! Okay!

Have you purchased the plane tickets?

I haven't yet...

What? Another year?

What are you talking about?

It's awarded to the winner of the competition,

and I don't want to waste it.

I honestly wanted to study one more year,

and they said that they would pay for my schooling too.

And they say that we will go around the world and do demonstrations.

I get greedy.

No! You absolutely cannot!

The contract you had with my grandma was

that you study for two years and return to work, right?

We've already started construction on the Coffee Princess

so we could open it by the time you get here!

Then, should I give it up and go?

You don't like it, do you?

I won't do it if you don't like it.

I should get going.

I'll call you later.

Hey! You're healthy, right?

You aren't sick anywhere, right?

Of course not. You know me. I'm as healthy as a horse.

I'll talk to you later, Han-gyeol.

All right.

The person's phone is turned off right now...

Jeez! Why is she overreacting when all I did was go out on one date!

Fine! You want to call it off?

It's over then! Finished! What a petty girl!

MY BYEOL WOULD YOU LIKE TO DELETE THIS NUMBER?

Jeez! Damn it!

Hold on. Why are the doors like this?

Myeong-su! Come over here with the plans for the interior.

Okay.

Here you are.

What is the Coffee Princess' concept?

A lovely concept that suits the princesses.

Exactly! Lovely!

Now tell me, exactly what about this place is lovely?

Is this a boxing ring?

Should I call Fedor and have a match here?

Could you try to make it to our strategy meetings?

I have to always tell you what went on in them.

All a barista should do is make coffee, not attend meetings.

Boss!

I haven't seen you around lately.

You should come by the shop more often.

Hwang Min Yeop, is your modeling work going well?

Of course.

I even changed my name.

Hwang Min! My Eun-sae thought of it.

Hwang Min? That's stupid.

Whatever. Anyway, aren't you going to send my sister-in-law home early?

Don't pass over 12 o'clock, got it?

You have no right to say that.

I know that you would keep Eun-chan until the early morning

and even all night long sometimes!

When did I?

And unlike you, my intentions in keeping her late were pure!

Hello Mr. Hong!

Hello.

My name is Ha Da-yeong,

and I'm here to learn about coffee making from you, Mr. Hong.

Please take me as your student.

What is she talking about?

This is the Coffee Prince and only men work here.

We don't hire female employees.

That's not true. Eun-chan worked here, you know!

Hello, I'm Jin Ha-rim.

I'm 27 years old. And what about you?

Hello. I know you.

I came here often. I'm Ha Da-yeong. I'm 24 years old.

I'm so popular!

A sharp nose, a slim chin, plump lips...

Wow, I think they're plumper than Eun-chan's.

I think she's also my type.

What? Why?

I'm sorry. I'm late, aren't I?

You're very shameless.

Don't you know you'll never be forgiven if you're late on a day like this?

My meeting ended really late.

Excuse me. Can I get a glass? Thanks.

You're empty-handed too.

You don't have a single flower?

Look at this.

And most people think that you're a kind and gentle husband.

Not knowing that you won't bring your wife a flower

on your wedding anniversary.

Why do you need flowers? You're the flower.

Jeez, you're such a sweet talker!

Here's to our second wedding anniversary!

Jeez! You ought to be grateful.

I even stayed with you this long considering

you're out working day and night all the time.

-What is it? -What do you mean, what is it?

I reserved a hotel suite.

I'll make you scream with pleasure tonight.

Jeez! You have such a dirty mind!

What are you talking about?

I'm just going to give you a massage.

I'll give you a full-body massage.

A massage? That's it?

-Let's go. -Now?

Hold on!

Eun-chan will have to go to a job interview when she returns.

It'll be difficult to run a coffee shop with women only.

There are lots of tasks that require strength in a coffee shop.

I have to discuss it with her when she comes back.

It won't be a problem with Eun-chan back.

She's as strong as an ox.

But she's probably not as strong as she used to be

since she's older now.

Revise the things that I have marked and checked wrong.

Revise?

How many times do I have to redesign it?

Jeez, I can't believe how fussy you're being

just because your future wife will be running the shop.

I thought she already went home, but she's still here.

Is there that much work to do?

All the girls who come here have great strength.

She's almost as strong as Eun-chan.

By the way, I heard that Eun-chan was getting tons of job offers in Milan.

Seeing that she hasn't returned, maybe she's having second thoughts?

Did Eun-chan betray him?

Stop talking such nonsense, you two!

But she did say that she wanted to stay there an extra year.

What? So, she betrayed you!

I feel so sorry for you, Han-gyeol.

You haven't been getting any for years now.

Another year of chastity and you might as well become a priest.

What's there to worry about? Just tell her to come back in.

Or just drag her over here yourself.

How can I drag a kid who wants to study more?

You have to finish that by mid-September.

Why is Eun-chan so greedy?

She should just hurry up and come back.

My Angel does everything lightheartedly.

Han-gyeol! Why don't we all go out for a drink since you're here?

I'm busy.

Let's go out for a drink!

Why can't we just eat what we have at home?

Why do you have to cook?

Will you quit with your whining?

Single and lonely people like you and me

have to eat right to stay healthy.

If you're thinking about health, then clean up your room first.

Would you look at that?

It's bigger than your head.

What's wrong, Mr. Hong?

You're looking good.

So is your husband.

So, you have just one son?

Yeah. He started school this year.

Are you still running the shop?

Yeah.

We changed the name to Coffee Prince.

You should drop by. It's doing well.

Okay. Are you still single?

It's good, I guess.

I left so you could be happy

and meet someone better than me.

But since you look well, it's a relief.

-You're lying. -What?

I heard that you got married.

I think that you're living happily.

I live a very normal life like everybody else.

Like every other couple, there are times

when my husband and I get along,

and there are times when we don't get along.

That's good.

You have peach allergies.

Not that it's any of my business.

My husband loves peaches,

and it's all right if I handle them with gloves.

Let's go quickly, Mr. Hong.

All the ice cream will melt.

Okay.

This time, why don't you leave me? It'll only be fair.

Okay. I'll be the one who will leave this time.

The exit's that way.

She says that she won't marry me until she marries Eun-chan and Eun-sae off!

We'll never get married like this!

Leave.

Who's holding you back? Just leave now.

It's really noisy.

Why don't you just cut the bull and marry him?

Just give yourself to him, body and soul.

I guess you might have already given him your body.

What are you talking about?

How can you say things so bluntly?

I don't think you're in a good mood today.

I ran into my ex-girlfriend today.

Who?

You mean that floozy who took your money and ran away?

That woman named Mi-suk?

Yeah. And her kid looked exactly like me.

No way...

His eyes are twinkling, and he looks exactly like me.

It's his habit.

He looked at my Eun-chan and said that she looked like him.

How can you think my Eun-chan's beautiful eyes look anything

like the beads that you have for eyes?

What are you talking about?

My eyes are absolutely beautiful.

Please stop. You have a tendency to get too close to my Ji-hyang.

Didn't I tell you not to say "my Ji-hyang"?

She's my Ji-hyang. What else do I call her?

Just stop.

-We're done eating. Done! -You guys had enough already.

Come here.

Come here. I thought your legs would be swollen from standing

in the laboratory all day long, but they're still as sleek as ever.

Are you still angry about me going to the nightclub?

Men usually go party in places like that when they get together.

Let's stop seeing each other.

Didn't I say that the effect of those words went away?

Try something else.

You're asking to break up for real?

Should I do that?

All right.

Dating one girl for two years...

That leaves a permanent stain on Jin Ha-rim's name in his lifetime.

All right. I'll leave this right here.

It's been fun.

Have a nice life!

Hey, Jin Ha-rim.

You know that the corners of your eyes sag

when you're pretending to be all right with something?

That's what's happening right now.

There she goes, analyzing again.

The corners of my eyes are not sagging. Take another look.

Look again.

You're tired because of your dad's work.

Why didn't you tell me?

How did you know that?

I know your dad's hospital.

I heard that it closed.

Jeez! Is that why you're being like this?

We're going to open up the hospital again.

Do you know what kind of person my dad is?

You should've asked me. It isn't a secret.

Anyways, let's get out of here

and get some drinks.

Jeez, you're always pretending to be so cool!

I am cool.

Anyways, I'm sure everything will turn out fine.

You're okay, right?

You know what? I hate the lights on your campus.

Why do they keep it so bright at night?

Byeol, isn't there a place a little more private on campus?

They say that no one's in the laboratory.

I'm sick of the laboratory. Pack everything quickly.

Follow me. Run!

I'll get you a warm glass of milk if you can't sleep.

I'm just a little tense about the upcoming exhibit.

I just can't concentrate on my work.

Yoo-joo.

I couldn't ask for more.

You're mine and always by my side,

and we both have jobs that we love.

There's nothing more I could want.

Really?

Would it be greedy to wish for more?

Let's stop going to the hospital.

I don't want your body to get weak because of that.

-Should we go on a trip tomorrow? -Tomorrow?

You're busy, right?

Then forget it. I'll go by myself.

Jeez, you shouldn't go by yourself.

Let's go together after I'm done with my project.

No. It's fine. I want to go alone.

Where are you going?

Come here.

Let's sleep.

You can't go.

You can't go anywhere.

-I'm cold. -Okay.

I am out right now,

-Please leave a message after the beep. -Why isn't she getting the phone?

Thank you.

Hey! You stubborn girl!

Someday, I'll make you pay for all the misery you've put me through.

Go ahead and study an extra year.

But only for a year and that's it!

Call me back when you get this message.

Koh Eun-chan! Come home quickly!

I miss you!

Come back soon!

Are those the resumes for the baristas?

We decided to have an interview. Do you want to go?

Nah. It's too much of a hassle.

-What the heck! -I'm sorry.

Why are you here again?

I'm sorry.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to wait a couple more days

and see what happens.

I can't tolerate other people touching my kitchen tools. Get out.

I just wanted to put them in order.

I'm sorry if I made you angry.

-Seon-gi! -What is it now?

Can't you teach me how to make waffles?

How can waffles be this soft?

I'm not going to teach you.

Please teach me.

What the heck? They're both speaking in Japanese.

You can speak Japanese?

I studied for a bit in Miyazaki.

It feels nice to talk with somebody in Japanese.

What are you two talking about?

You aren't talking about me, are you?

I said that you were nice. Are you happy?

Like I would really believe you!

I'm worried about running the café in line with the concept.

As well as the part about having to be tied down for 2 years.

I'm thinking about running my own coffee business.

Increasing your know-how working at our shop might help you

when you run your own shop.

The pay is kind of less than the place where I work now.

I think if you want me to quit my job to come here,

I should get at least two times what I'm being paid currently.

Two times?

All right.

The human resources department will call you about the interview results.

Okay.

Excuse me! Sir?

Sir?

Are you done with the interview?

I'm thirsty because I waited so long.

I came for a job interview.

Hello, I'm Koh Eun-chan.

I came because I heard you were looking for a barista.

I have a lot of ability. Do you want to hire me?

Sure. Why not?

What about your resume...

And are you a man or a woman? Can I see some ID?

ID?

ID? Of course. Hold on!

I left it at home.

But I assure you I'm a woman.

It sounded like that other applicant was asking for double the pay.

But all you have to do is feed me.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack.

Four meals are enough.

I'm good at cleaning, I'm strong, and I make really great coffee.

I've even won the World Barista Championship

and I'm a world class barista.

More than skill, we need someone with a devoted work ethic.

I'm incredibly devoted.

And if you're really nice to me, I'll even do you your laundry,

clean your place, cook, and do the dishes for you.

You startled me.

When did you get here?

I missed you so much.

You smell great!

You haven't changed a bit!

Your eyes are in the same place.

Your nose is still pointed.

And your lips are really sexy.

My boyfriend looks really handsome.

How could you even think about staying there another year?

I got dark circles under my eyes because of you, you know that?

Here?

You were that disappointed?

Stop it! I'm hot right now!

Don't be like this!

I came back, didn't I? If you keep this up,

I might just go back to Italy.

Are you trying to threaten me?

Even if you told me to leave now, I won't.

I'm going to stay by your side forever and ever!

I won't leave you for even a minute.

Twenty-four hours? Day and night? Every day?

Then we will have to get married quickly, right?

We'll be busy preparing for the opening of the Coffee Princess.

When are you doing job interviews?

Would the interior construction be done by September?

I got an invitation to a latte art demonstration this week.

I even got an interview.

The price of Barista Koh Eun-chan will go up!

Don't change the subject!

I called your mom a couple of days ago.

I wonder if grandma's doing well.

Grandma! It's me, Koh Eun-chan!

I'm not deaf! Speak softly.

Hello, grandma!

When are you going to start working?

-Excuse me? -You heard me.

If you came in, you should start working.

Mom, you should let her rest a bit.

I was thinking about visiting you, dad, and mom

before I started working.

I even brought presents for you.

-You're joking. -I'm sure you'll like it.

Did I ever ask you to buy me presents?

Grandma, we'll visit you tomorrow.

Then I'll see you tomorrow, Grandma.

Goodbye!

She asked me to keep her return a secret.

But she's there with Han-gyeol.

Those two are giddy with happiness.

Her life expenses must have been tight.

But she called me multiple times because she was picking your gift.

She's very thoughtful, unlike the other girls these days.

When I saw her during a business trip, she seemed very bright.

She's so affable.

You feel happy once you see her.

Just look at the two of you.

That girl put you under her spell as she did with Han-gyeol!

How could you consider a girl like that for your one and only son?

I don't think I could ask for anything more in a daughter-in-law.

Jeez!

Mom. I'll go make some delicious curled mallow stew for dinner.

So, she brought me a present, did she?

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do?

Hey! My girlfriend's here!

My girlfriend's here!

Mr. Hong!

Look who is here! Why didn't you call us ahead of time?

Have you been well?

My sweet Chan!

Oh my god! You look strange!

-What's wrong? -You're a girl?

Come on. Stop.

Eun-chan!

-You look so pretty! -Hey.

-Except you haven't lost any weight. -Hey!

Eun-chan.

You look so pretty, Eun-chan!

-Thanks. -Give me a hug too.

Eun-chan!

I want a hug too! You look so strange!

-Give her a tour of the shop! -Okay!

Hey! Don't!

Hey! You'll hurt her! You'll hurt my girlfriend!

Hey! Let's carry her around!

Stop! Put me down!

Mr. Hong!

Stop! Stop right there!

Come here!

YOU'RE HAPPY BECAUSE YOU'VE MET A GOOD HUSBAND, RIGHT?

PERHAPS? BUT KISSES FOR YOU

What?

Gross!

Please teach me.

You are really stubborn!

I'll work really hard!

Could I get your cell phone number, Ha-rim?

-Me first! -Really?

-I'll give it to her first. -Thanks!

You're so cute. Do you want my home address too?

Hello? Oh, Byeol.

Some strange women were coming onto me, but I stopped them in their tracks.

Don't worry.

I'm good, aren't I?

Oh, my god.

APOLOGIZE, YOU BASTARD!

-Goodbye, Coffee Prince! -Goodbye, Coffee Prince!

THE COFFEE PRINCE IS CLOSED FOR TODAY
