It's over...

*sigh* It's over... It really is...

The Coffee Princes

Last night was the screening of the last Coffee Prince episode.. The last cup.. Marking the end of a drama that I have been eagerly anticipating every Sunday night, looking forward to the episodes even when I'd wake up to Monday morning. It was ok, coz I'd have an episode of Coffee Prince to watch that night, or at latest the following afternoon. But last night took all the cheeriness of my Sunday nights away. *SIGH*

I was debating with myself the whole night and day, thinking should I watch it, should I not? On one hand, I had wanted to keep the Coffee Prince magic around a little bit longer, as long as I didn't watch the last cup, it wouldn't be over. I'd still have something to look forward to. It'd still be THERE.

But on the other hand, I was dying to find out the latest developments between Eun Chan and Han Gyul. That was reason enough for this hand to outwin the other. I succumbed, and watched the last cup.

Apologise, jerk!

It ended well, tears at first as Eun Chan bid everyone farewell as she was going to leave for Italy for 2 years before a huge happy smile at the end when the two lovebirds were finally reunited. I found the farewell scene heartwrenching, not only between Eun Chan and Han Gyul, but also the scenes between Eun Chan and her family and the other Coffee Princes. I loved the friendship that they had portrayed amongst the staff at Coffee Prince. It made me feel that that was the perfect working place. I'd wanna work there too, making waffles and coffee. Perfection.

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama, it wasn't the typical tragic K-Drama genre neither was it type of drama that tries so hard but still fails because of the lack of the X factor. I haven't liked a drama this much since Kim Sam Soon! Coffee Prince has definitely given Kim Sam Soon a run for its money in my books but will have to be satisfied with ranking #2. I can't help it, Sam Soon will always have that special place in my heart! But Coffee Prince holds a special place in my heart too, for being so perfectly normal. It was almost like watching the lives of people I actually know. Endearing, down to earth, and addictive just like coffee.

But all good things must come to an end, and Coffee Prince is no exception.

And so, with this post, I bid Coffee Prince farewell. I have loved watching you grow and sharing all the bits of your life with you (and the rest of the world addicted to you too!). I'll look back and think of you fondly, and will rewatch you again sometime. You have definitely glittered my Mondays and Tuesdays, my dear Coffee Prince. Thank you and goodbye.

Bogoshipda..

I miss you already..
