Choi Han Gyul is the grandson of Chairwoman Bang, who runs Dong-in Foods, a company with a successful coffee business. Han Gyul has never held a job and avoids responsibility. He remains fixated on his first love, Han Yoo Joo, who considers him just a friend. Go Eun Chan, a 24-year-old tomboy, is frequently mistaken for a guy. After her father's death when she was 16, she became the primary breadwinner for her family. When Han Gyul meets Eun Chan, he doesn't realize she's a girl and hires her to pose as his gay lover to avoid the blind dates his grandmother arranges. Facing an ultimatum from his grandmother, Han Gyul takes over a dilapidated coffee shop, renaming it "Coffee Prince," to prove his capability to both his grandmother and Yoo Joo. To attract female customers, he hires only handsome male employees. Desperate for money, Eun Chan continues to conceal her gender to secure a job at Coffee Prince.
