Yoon Eun Hye Films Cameo for C-drama Remake of Coffee Prince with Yang Le and Xu Lu

Nine years is a long time particularly in drama land when merely a few years can date a drama in both story content and visuals. With that said, newbies to K-dramas are still able to slurp up the 2007 now classic Coffee Prince, a huge hit when it aired and still the favorite of many drama fans the world over. It cemented Yoon Eun Hye‘s post Goong career as a top drama leading lady and launched Gong Yoo into Hallyu consciousness.

So it’s no surprise that in China’s rush to remake popular K-dramas Coffee Prince will be in the queue, and in this case filming has already started on Prince Coffee starring Yang Le and Xu Lu. The remake and cast are about as yawn inducing as it gets for me until news broke that Yoon Eun Hye flew to Beijing this week to film a barista cameo for the drama. First look above at her pulling coffee and darn it now I totally have to watch for her scene alone.

  • I tried watching the Thai version awhile back, but I ended up rewatching the original one for the umpteenth time. Such a great drama!

  • Ohh I think Zhang Tian Ai would of made a good role since seeing her character in Go Princess Go. Lol. Oh well, hope the remake will be almost as good as the original. Can't wait!

    • Goong was pretty popular too. She plays well in I miss you alongside with Yoochun imo.. But yeah except those, her more recent dramas have not been well received...

    • Whatever drama that there is eun hye in it, it looks interesting and take attention. Goong (princess hours), I miss you, Lie to me, Young Lady (castle), I am sure almost all K-drama fans knows and watch it.

  • Just saying. Few days ago I read the posting that her acting career has stalled big time and there's a comment mentioning how she still linger on the success of Coffee Prince.

    And BANG, there she goes again. A cameo in Coffee Prince remake! I mean, can't she just moved on past CP and do something substantive instead? I try not to sound mean but maybe this time around I have to agree that she is so overrated as an actress. Winning Baeksang for Best Actress and shot to superstardom after CP and that's it.

    I couldn't even remember the last drama that she participated in which left a lingering feeling to me. Just recently I viewed a segment of her in China's TV program "Grade One Freshman" and again, there was a segment reenacting CP.

    Whatever acting talent that she has just wasted away like that. I wouldn't mind seeing her in cable TV or doing daytime instead of primetime drama but at least, I could view her as taking her acting career seriously and really building up her craft as an actress instead of just holding on to the same thing that is CP that made her Hallyu star.

    I guess may be she is indeed a Hallyu star but never an actress, a thespian I hope that she should be.

  • In her defense, I think it's safe to say that she also would like to be known for more projects than just Coffee Prince and Goong, but her follow up projects just haven't been as great as her fans would've hoped unfortunately. Like, Marry Him if You Dare was just not well written at all, to be honest.

    • I really liked the premise of MHIYD but IMHO, there was no chemistry between her character and Lee Dong Gun's, she had more chemistry with YongHwa, whose character she ended up with anyway, even though most people hated the ending and didn't know her choice. She is known for her incredible and believable chemistry with her leading males, but it was not there in Mirae's Choice, and this alone flattened the drama. The right cast, after the script, is key to how well executed a drama becomes.

      • I agree with you,I watched the drama for so many times because I love her chemistry with Yongwa,but disappointed with the ending.i think that's the weakness of most of K-dramas always hanging at the end actors and actresses were great but the script and director lacked of creativity to make the story interesting.I've read that she did this to pay. gratitude to the Producer.infairnes to her,she is really very good actress,I beg to disagree to the comment that she is overrated,I can say that because I did acting workshop and taught acting to children before. Her acting did not only recognized in South Korea but in other countries like Japan and other Asian countries and lately she still able to receive an award inspite of not doing drama for a long time..

      • @emchi, that's how I felt about MHYD when I watched it. I couldn't relate to her relationship with LDG. I actually shipped her with Jung Yong Hwa even a lot of ppl being very critical of JYH's acting for the reason that he's a Kpop idol. Imo, the screenplay was disoriented and confusing that made LDG's character not admirable. That's a shame.

  • Nowadays, so may popular actors even A-lister like Jeon Do Yeon, working for TvN. I think Yoon Eun Hye needs to start from that trend channel.

    • I so agree with you, also she can also revisit Running Man etc, so many reality shows are funny and likable, and many actors gain fans from these shows. eg. New Journey to the West 2 is making Ahn Jae Hyun very popular esp with regard to his coupling with KHS, the show's viewership now has the most viewers. So many people would love her to just make one appearance on RM, I would totally wait for that myself. I don't like Uee too much but watched Marriage Contract b/c I liked 3Meals a day with Lee Seo Jin.

      • I think there is a problem in Koreans emotional quotient because if an actor or actress made a mistake in their private life,there is no forgiveness,no wonder why there are a lot of celebrities who resorted to suicide,a date is already considered a scandal,why not respect their privacy,why not forgive their mistake committed in their lives,nobody is perfect,its only God who is perfect,dont condemned without due process,YEH was condemned by publicity,so cruel..why not look the goodness,the help she is giving to charities,to children with special needs..dont get me wrong that Iam YEH'fanactic,this is just my analysis on what happenings in SouthKorean film industry,you just have a very few actors and. Actress who are great and one is YEH, so you have to support them instead of turning your back to them.

  • Her image is pretty much shattered after the plagiarism scandal. She is disliked due to her arrogant statement - I used to like her but now she is just riding her CP fame. Shame

  • nah her image is ruin. when she deicde to star along side that rapist PSH. korean cant stand the guy. so doing anything with him only bring your image down. that plagiarism scandal just add salt to her career.

    do agreed that her statement did turn me off. never thought she the kind of woman. that will diss a designer like that. still cant get over how she say. dont use my name to promote your brand. when the designer already have world class star wearing his cloth.

    • I guess she still lives in her old glory. She believes her own hype and lets fame takes go to her head.

    • You forgot to mention that the "world class" designer accused her of "stealing" his design by lending his latest collection to her as one of her clothing sponsor while she's already denied it & she has a log book to prove it. If he has good intention at least he would reach her privately to solve this matter but NOOO he choosed to solve this matter openly instead via SNS where everyone can read it. So what can you say about that kind of person ??
      If you want to bring down someone at least read the full story (not just the part you prefer)

    • PSH no rapist.. Sen ne biliyorsunki bunu demeye kendinde cesaret buluyorsun .. Gördün mü? duydun mu yanında mıydın? mal mal konusma yaa , ikisi harika bir çift

  • Other than Coffee Prince, her other film projects are mediocre. I gave up Missing You (the child actors were superb) because of her subpar acting. Don't get me started on Mirae's Choice - it was a trainwreck. Honestly I don't get the hype about her.

  • her acting is not bad - people run to excuse the acting of all those idols who frankly suck - but she was really good in coffee prince and even in missing you, it was the writing that was terrible, not her. though the child actors were excellent, she and yoochun were still really good. she can emote quite well even in her earliest projects like goong etc. but her image in korea is ruined, so i guess any chance of a comeback is gone.
