The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince

The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince or Coffee Prince - 17 episodes

Go Eun Chan is the head of their family. She does odd jobs and even pretended as a boy to work in a coffee shop which only employs male 'princes'. It may be considered reverse harem at the part wherein she's the only girl in the 'Coffee Prince' but the story is more than that. It was addictive and tearjerky but I lost interest during the end. I didn't find the stories of the supporting characters relevant. I was only in for Go Eun Chan and Choi Han Kyul. Her character is unforgivingly selfish and naive in love which is understable in the way she grew up. She has distorted which is right and wrong. Great acting by Yoon Eun Hye. I think I liked her style among the gender benders that I've seen. Horikita Maki is too pretty, while Ella Chen is too boyish. She balanced it with her androgynous feature and natural tomboyish charm. I was so-so with Gong Yoo but the minute he started with serious scenes he's the total opposite of his playboy character. The lovely soundtrack of drama soothed my ears after the uber-pop-ness of BBF. If BBF got me to eating midnight noodles with 'Coffee Prince' I got to learn how to brew coffee for the very first time. There'll be a movie too. More info from dramabeans. Finally, I've watched this. Thanks for all the people who recommended this.

i absolutely loe this kdrama, which suprised me since i had been putting this drama 'on hold' list for long time since i didnt like the heroin in h is only one girl er first drama 'princess hour'. but she was suprisingly not annoying and good in this one which is always a good thing especially in reverse harem because since there is really only one girl, you have to actually stand her from the beginning to end. now i'm rambling. heheheheh...

what i was trying to say that i really love jae wook ( the supposed japanese- he really looked like one doesnt he?) and i know we are supposed to reccomend only reverse harem here but you have to see antique bakery by him. its really good. though its not reverse harem but light yaoi. you wont regret it.

i LOVED this drama. doesnt hurt that gong yoo is an insanely sexy beast XP
I think i'd consider it RH- it had that one point that most have: the cute guy who acts like he's dating the girl... if you know what i mean like he teases the girl a lot. In this it would be the player waiter.
plus, the strong waiter kisses her, right?

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)? Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

Reverse harem is not an exact science. Fans may have a different interpretation of what reverse harem is. Now, this a tale of two otomes turned animes from Winter 2015 who just didn't quite feel reverse harem at all. And I thought it was going to be the best season ever. Boy, I was wrong.

Reverse Harem Anime Catch-Up Marathon: Nil Admirari, Yume 100, Dame x Prince, Scared Rider Xechs and Magic-Kyun

My marathon started in March of last year with two seasons of B-Project , fourth/last season Uta Prince No Sama and Phantom of Twilight . I usually blog my review before I start with watching the next anime but at the rate I'm going it will take me forever to get it all done. I decided to watch the remaining anime one after another without blogging and I finished it all by December. The last time I had this marathon was from the time I first discovered reverse harem. But unlike before, this time I feel like I was losing my mind and I'm going to quit watching reverse harem anime for good. Well almost. The only way for me to blog all these anime would be in one go...again. I'm just going to keep 'em all short. Disclaimer: As usual I have not played any of the games.
