Lead by Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye, Korea’s MBC Channel’s popular
drama Coffee Prince broadcasted Episode 17 Finale on the 26th August.
Unfortunately, ratings were unable to break 30%, only reaching 27.7%.
MBC has already expressed interest in filming a sequel , but because Gong Yoo is enlisting for the army within the year, he may not be able to participate in the sequel.
The night before, Coffee Prince’s actors and staff went to some
Charcoal beef restaurant in Seoul for celebration party and to watch
the finale together. On the night, bills were paid by female lead, Yoon
Eun Hye. She and Gong Yoo both really liked CP, EH said “This drama was
natural, simple and honest. On the filming sites, the atmosphere was
very relaxed and pleasant/cheerful. Even though I had to cross-dress in
the drama, giving up the chance to pretty myself, it was because of my
natural dress up that lead to even more love from the public.”
Gong Yoo says: “I never even thought that the drama’s ratings would
be able to border 30%, everyone really likes this drama, EH and I both
felt that even if ratings performance wasn’t that good, it definitely
is an outstanding drama. During my time filming the drama, it never
felt like i was going to work, more like going to have fun. It’s been a
while since i’ve had fun to this happy extent! So I need to thank EH
and the director.” Gong Yoo also announced: “CP might be my last work
of art/creation before I serve in the army, even though i’ve already
received notice that i’m to enlist in October, but it might get
postponed. However, at the lastest, i will still enlist within the
year.”
Aside from this, alot of viewers wish for a sequel, even helping the
channel in brainstorming ideas - pointing towards YEH’s Eunchan to
become the “2nd store”’s boss. MBC also expressed interest in filming a
sequel, but because of GY’S enlistment he may not be able to
participate.
