Ooooo! This story gets better and better every add. I love how Christian is fighting his attraction to Taylor and I wonder how he's going to feel when he finds out he is really a she. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Damn Taye....got Christian all up in his feelings and questioning his sexuality. I am glad that his feelings for Taye is crossing gender boundaries but the trust issues are going to be the deal breaker.  Poor Christian....and poor Taye. They are both victims of circumstance. Taye with her family and this deal. And Christian with his feelings and confusion. I hope they are able to get over this. She needs to tell him the truth. 

This story is so good. I am thinking too much about the intracacies of the characters. So happy that you are back....and that you updated!! On to the next one...soon I hope =)

I am really ticked at Taylor, when is she going to tell Christain that she is a woman?  Why hasn't Christain looked at Taylor I mean really look at her to see that she is a woman.  When he finds out it won't be pretty, and she will have to work hard to gain his trust.  She is making the man doubt is sexuality.  Why does she dress that way in the first place?

Loving this story!!!

SOOOO glad to see you return to the story!! It's just as amazing as when I first read it. I can't wait for Taylor to be revealed...even though I know that it will harm the trust they have built. 

I love this build up that you are doing. Great job! Please don't leave me hanging for too long...you brought my craving for this story back. 



Author's Response:

Thanks so much. I appreciate your continued support and I'm doing my best not to leave you guys hanging again.

When will Christian realize that Taylor is a girl? As for Isabel I guess she will get the man because Christian thinks that he is starting to have feelings for a man.  Thanks

I can't believe I've been remiss in leaving you a review for the last two chapters. Welcome back Village!! I love this story so much. And I love how you're taking the time to develop the characters instead of rushing things. Gender bender stories are my guilty pleasure and I love that Christian is falling in love with Taylor and doesn't understand why, lol. That Isabel is such a twerp, she needs to sit down. I really hope Christian and his father comes to some kind of understanding because Christian will continue to act out as long as his father takes to him any kind of way. Thanks so much for this story and the last two updates. I missed this story so much in your absence. And I hope you update soon. Please don't disappear!!!!!

When I was greedily reading this I was already salivating over the thought of the next chapter! How desperate is that?

Love that your using the way guys are physically rough and "in your face", in my opinion way more touchy feely than girls generally, to allow for the blurring of llnes. This causes confusion and unpredictability which I love.

 Oh the Dramah when Christian really starts reacting to Taylor the way any red blooded male would! I do not envy Taylor either with her budding feelings and "lose-lose" dilemma. 

I tell 'ya, It's soapy goodness!

Love that your such a great sport when giving "feedback" to the feedback. Interactive is a good word. Don't be a stranger now 'ya hear? ^_*

 



Author's Response:

Ha, ha, well, thanks.We're all here in good fun and I'm really appreciative that people take the time to comment, it really helps.

The blurring of the lines is half the fun, to be honest. I kind of like making Christian crazy. Heh.

As a fan of CP i've been wondering does Carson know that Taylor is a girl? 



Author's Response:

I don't want to give anything away but you'll find out what Carson thinks very soon, actually. :D

Taylor is developing feeling for Christian, but dufus he still thinks that you are a guy.  I still don't see how.    When is Taylor going to be honest about who she really is?  How will Christian feel about when she does come clean?  I can't wait to read more!!!



Author's Response:

Sometimes you see what you want to see. Taylor's a huge blindspot for Christian but he'll get there eventually.

Title: Two

Great start.  I hate and like Coffee Prince.  My issues was two fold.  I hated the fact the female character basically made the guy question his sexuality.  To me that is an extremely deep issue.  And the execution of such an issue is as bad when people include rape in a fiction.  It can never seem to be done properly---and should just not be carried out.   To twist the mind of someone in that way is not something cool---and she did---to kiss the guy when he thinks your a guy---oy. 

Actually it's degrading and humiliating to for the other person.  I felt the writers (I think the Hong Sister's) did not successfully convey that issue properly and I find it takes a story into another direction.  It could be why I appreciated Hana Kimi (the Jdorama) so much more...since the boy found out on his on and very early on it was a girl but allowed her to continue to carry out her lie as a boy and not even informing her that he knew she was a girl.  I felt that was properly executed---he got to understand her reasoning and made sure to put her in awkward positions without being thrust into a sexuality debate himself. 

Coffee Prince just made it seem almost degrading to me.  I actually didn't want the leads ending up together after that issue...because that is just too big a lie for a relationship.  Admittedly I have issues with lies in any relationship even if it makes for good conflict.  Confilct can arise from outside issues rather than between the two people who are in a relationship.  Second problem was the end.  The guy proposed and she didn't even give him an "I Love You..." or that she would even marry him.  In the end...he seemed more enthralled than she was with him---this is after her studying in Italy.  However it could also be YEH's acting, but the lines didn't give her the opportunity to even show that she really loved him.  He ended up sacrificing himself and everything for her.  She did nothing but what she wanted.  She wanted to kiss him, while he thought she was a boy---and she did.  Making him suffer.  Then he finds out it was a lie.  She apologizes all is right.  Then she wants to go to Italy and he supports her--for years too.  And she goes.  Then she gives the impression she wants to do more and marrying him is not really on her list. It just left me disappointed.

Anyway CP had a few problems for me.  Hopefully this is story is not 100% married to the entire CP storyline.  But the beginning is very engaging.  I'm actually currently writing my own for a few Kdrama's I truly enjoyed. And none of them include YEH---although I've seen all her dramas.  I wonder why that is.  Anyway I plan on reading the second chapter when it comes out.  You're an extremely talented writer.



Author's Response:

What a thougthful response. I know what you're saying with CP but I'd say that's really a product of most gender bender fiction. There is always a point that the male character stops to question himself and why "another man" incites these sorts of feelings out of him. CP leans towards the melodramatic aspect of this genre while Hana Kimi (and something like Ouran Koukou Host Club) lean towards the comedic aspect, so I think that's possibly why they approach this topic so differently.

I agree that the end of CP was weak, much weaker than the beginning, but I blame that slightly on the two episode extension. I do agree that she looked selfish in the end but at the same time he was willing to go along with it so I don't struggle with it as much.

The story is definitely not 100% married to CP but it does have definite similarities. So if you found CP frustrating then you might find this story frustrating at times too. I'll keep an eye out for your story. When Kdramas are on, they're some of the best entertainment out there.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

OH MY GOD! This story is so funny I found myself laughing and smiling throughout. I like it. I like it alot! You have talent when it comes to distinctly creating charachters and giving them voices. Makes it like I'm reading something based in truth and that for me is the mark. I read EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU WROTE it was so good. And just to make sure I didn't miss anything I'll be emersing myself in this all over again as soon as I can.

Obviously I will need an update soon!

Thank you so much for penning this. Made a bad hair day seem not so bad after all.^_^

This story is similar to the coffee prince a drama that can be watched on hulu.com for those who like this story line. The main difference though is that the characters in coffee prince are asain not black and white.
