MBC have interest for Coffee Prince Season 2
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
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.

Hi MBC Korea, greeting from CP fan in Indonesia. It’s 2010 now, I think Gong Yoo already finished his duty in the army. So, when CP 2 will be filmed? Please make it happen…a lot of fans will be pleased to see those couple again.

Now that Gong Yoo is out of the military and Eun Hye has finished filming My Fair Lady, isn’t this a good time to do season 2 of coffee prince?
It may be wishful thinking on my part but I’ve certainly noticed that season 1 has continue to win fans (internationally) over even right up till now.

Two thumbs up for Gong Yoo & Eun Yoon Hye, really nice Korean TV Drama… CP has created very natural & simply situation, love it so much & can’t hardly wait for the sequel.
But, I think better to wait after Gong Yoo finished from the army, because he is one of the interest “thing” in this drama, I cannot imagine if there is no Gong Yoo inside, or replace with the other actor… it’s unbelievable…

Hi to MBC in Korea, I’m one of the avid fans of coffee prince here in the Philippines. I can’t wait to see the sequel of CP, please make a part 2, and please wait for Gong Yoo. I hope thesame cast will portray the roles……… for Eun Yoon Hye and Gong Yoo, you really did a great job, you really made the public loves you……..so CP really deserves to have a season 2.

Of all the foreign movies and dramas I’ve viewed I have to say that CP was one of the best. To not do a sequel to the first would be criminal. This is why. There seems to be a trend in dramas to cut them short right at the end either because of funding or ratings while not considering the content of expression to the audience (the story that’s told). The problem you have is that the final episode should have gone on for at least four more to resolve all the unresolved issues that it brought out. CP deserves a sequel with the same cast. The ending was too abrupt which leaves the audience hanging. If the Korean community did not catch on with ratings, at least the international one did. Get the backing and start filming. High praise to the director and cast.
