Coffee Prince – Korean Drama

처음엔 알지 못했어
cho um me nal ji mohtaesso
나를 보는 그대의 그 눈빛이
nal po neun keu de el keu nun pi chi
왜 그렇게 안타까웠는지
wae ke lo kae an ta ga won nun ji
언제나 묻고 싶던 말
on je na mun go shi don mal
아주 조금 내 맘 알고 있는지
a ju cho gum ne mam al go i nun ji
한번도 얘기한 적 없었지만
han bon do ye gi han cho gob so ji man

이젠 아는데 그대도 나처럼
eejen a neunde keudaedo nachorom
하루하룰 헤매였던 걸
ha ru ha ru he me yo don gol
잠들 수 없이
cham del su ob shi
너무 아파했었다는 걸
no mu a pa he so da nun gol
손을 잡아요
so nul cha ba yo
다시는 그대 놓지 않을게
ta shi nun keu de rel no shi a nun ge
사랑해요 내가 숨쉬는 날까지
saranghaeyo nega sum shi nun nal ga ji

그대로 멈춰버렸죠
keu daero meom chweo peo ryo jyo
나에겐 늘
na e gen nel
모질게만 대하던 그대가
mo jil ge man daehadon kuedaega
날 보며 웃어주던 날
nal po myo u so ju don nal

이젠 아는데 그대도 나처럼
eejen aneunde kuedaedo nacheoreom
하루하룰 헤매였던 걸
ha ru ha ru he me yo don gol
잠들 수 없이
cham duel su obshi
너무 아파했었다는 걸
neomu appahae seo daneun gol
손을 잡았죠
soneul chabajyo
다시는 나를 놓지 말아요
ta si nun na rel no ji mal la yo
사랑해요 내가 눈감는 날까지
sarang haeyo naega nun gam(nun) nal ggaji

울지 않아요 이제 그대
ulji anh nayo eeje kuedae
내 곁에 있으니
nae kyotte eessue ni
고마워요 이렇게 모자란 내게 그대를 선물해줘서
gomaweoyo eereohke mocharan naege keudaereul seonmul hae jweo seo

When the movie “Moonlight Melody” was first released in 1984 it became the center of vigorous debates because it hinted at an intimate sexual relationship between two men.

Twenty-three years later gay relationships have become part of the landscape in Korean media. Affectionate hugging or exchanges of intimate looks between two men no longer offend viewers. In some cases such affectionate relationships are the focus of the most popular shows.

“Coffee Prince” currently running on Monday and Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. on MBC TV, exploits this cultural development. It has built a large following that is fascinated by the relationship between the two main characters.

As of Aug 13, TNS Media Korea, a television rating company, said Coffee Prince had won an audience rating of 29.3 percent, a clear lead over its competitors on the other two major networks. SBS gets a rating of 15.9 percent for its 10 p.m. slot while KBS 2TV has a 5.7 percent share.
