5.0 out of 5 stars Great drama and very decent DVD quality, February 4, 2008

I've purchased a couple of Korean dramas that have been released on DVD here in the U.S. before, and while the content was always as expected, the DVD specs themselves left something to be desired. I'm glad to report that Coffee Prince has remedied my main gripe, anamorphic widescreen presentation. Yes, it can be viewed on a widescreen television without cropping out subtitles!

The audio quality is also very good for a Dolby Stereo track. On the video side I did notice some motion artifacts and maybe even a bit of mosquito noise here and there, even on a relatively small 40" screen. While these issues might seem like nitpicks to many, for the price they charge on these dramas I expect perfection. At least strides are being made in that general direction.

The subtitles are quite good with only a few typos here and there. I haven't really run across anything that was horribly confusing, and while there are a few subs that go by a little too fast the vast majority are up for a comfortable reading time.

The drama itself is great and comes highly recommended. The price can be tough to swallow sight unseen, but make an effort to check this one out in whatever way you can.

I watched the first episode on AZN channel and couldn't wait till next week so I found some links online and watched the whole series all day for two days. I guess you could tell I was addicted. Gong Yoo is a hot Korean guy and the character he played will want you to want him even more. It's an incredibly funny movie but with cheesy Asian antics at times. Just watch it.

I have to write this now. I am addicted to Korean dramas (soaps). And this by far is the best one. I haven't even finished it, and I have to talk about it. It's got everything a girl could love in Chick Flick movies. Girl pretends to be guy, falls in love with a guy who thinks she is a guy... and guy falls for girl but thinks he's a guy and he thinks he might be gay because of it.I'm sure they'll end up together. All chick flicks tend to have a happy ending.

I do want to say this to any person interested in purchasing a korean soap opera/drama and has never done it before or saw one, start off with Winter Sonata, Beautiful Days or Autumn Love (???) because this one is soooooooo good, that the others won't compare.

This one is light, breezy, whimsy, romantic dramedy that moves quickly. The other ones I mentioned are great but have a tragic overtone. This one... is more modern and geared toward a younger audience than the ones mentioned.

I love this and will update this entry once I finish the series.
