The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince
The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince is one of the most popular Korean dramas last year. It even earned its female lead, Yoon Eun Hye, the best actress trophy in this year’s Baeksang Awards. She and Gong Yoo also gained more CF because of the popularity of this drama.
Located nearby Hongik University, Coffee Prince No.1 was the café used as the main shooting location for ”Coffee Prince No.1,“ a sensational 2007 hit TV drama.
Accessed via a narrow alleyway, the captivating array of cakes and modern music are sure to delight. The café strives to maintain the ambiance of the drama by showing video clips on screens. These serve as a visual reminder of the beginnings of the establishment.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows, on both the 1st and 2nd floors, make the best of Coffee Prince No.1’s narrow space. The outdoor terrace is covered in small pebbles creating a cozy, comfortable feeling.
Coffee Prince No.1 is not just another café, along the “Streets of Youth,” in the neighborhoods around Hongik University. It is a famed tourist attraction and a must-see place for all drama lovers. More Japanese and Chinese tourists, rather than Koreans, frequent the place. You can easily find excited visitors taking pictures, rather than quietly enjoying the atmosphere and sipping their tea.
Whereas most other famous filming locations involve just a single scene in a drama, Coffee Prince No.1 appeared in every episode. Visiting the café brings to mind memorable scenes as well as an opportunity to see autographs and photographs of the actors and actresses who starred in the drama. Comments of encouragement and support by fans are also displayed.
