Synopsis: Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) works every possible job to pay off her family’s debts. She works so hard that she even gave up her femininity and is often mistaken for a boy. Choi Han Kyul (Goong Yoo) is an heir to a large corporation but his grandmother wants him to settle down and arranges blind dates for him. Desperate to keep his grandmother of his back, he hires Go Eun Chan to act as his gay lover.
Feeling betrayed, the grandmother threatens Kyul to take away everything she has given him is not able to improve the coffee shop that is already on the verge of bankruptcy. He decided to take on the challenge and hire only guys for the shop including Eun Chan. Left with no option, she decided to continue the pretence so she could work on the shop.
As their relationship deepens, Kyul develops a dilemma since he realized he was already falling for the eccentric, outspoken Eun Chan but he believed her to be a girl. In order to control his feelings, he even took medicines just so he won’t turn “gay” and tries everything to affirm that he is not attracted to her which (teehee) all fails. He eventually fires her and shut her out but she insists that she would not leave which dissolves his resolve. Admitting defeat, he decided to pursue a relationship with her, even though he still believed that she’s a guy and Eun Chan did not have the courage to admit the truth.
Doesn’t take long though before the truth comes out and Kyul feeling devastated and hurt by her lies shuts her out once again. When Eun Chan confronts him at the shop, he is cold and cruel and she almost felt like giving up. However, Kyul realizes that his feeling for Eun Chan is stronger than the hurt he feels over her lies that he decided to forgive her. He has fought so hard to have her by his side that the truth should have given him comfort.
The story does not end there though. Han Kyul and Go Eun Chan will have to still face a lot of difficulties, one of which is to decide whether they would get married or should they continue to pursue their dreams?
Review:
I love how Yoon Eun Hye abandons her pretty image and goes all out for her character that she is even beautiful when she cries. She is so dedicated to her role that one can’t help but love her hardworking character and root for their love.
It’s so funny that Han Kyul was trying so hard to fight his feelings and at the same time so freaked out by it as well. It was very apparent that he was so in love with Go Eun Chan that even though he thought she was a guy, he was willing to forego his principles as a man, forgives her when he realized her lies and reluctantly supported her in her pursuit of her dreams even though they would be parted for years.
I just love this show and am giving this 9.5 out of 10 stars.
