HelloHallyu's Pick

Hellohallyu is rooting for all the nominees coming from the The First Shop of Coffee Prince. To be fair to the other actors, actresses and dramas, we must state that The First Shop of Coffee Prince is the only 2007 MBC drama that I have watched this year. Jumong do not count since it was a 2006 production.

Here's Teddy's why The First Shop of Coffee Prince deserves to sweep the awards:

• Interesting storyline
• Fantastic cast (both main and supporting)
• Good and slick cinematography
• Wonderful chemistry between Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye

So, tell me why The First Shop of Coffee Prince should not sweep all the awards?
