Coffee Prince (WikiLink)

What's it about?
A girl adopts a boy's identity to work at a coffee shop and falls in love with the owner. Who has her pretend to be his gay lover to get his grandma off the idea of marrying him to various women. But then he falls in love with her (the girl who is pretending to be a boy, not his grandma). Which makes him depressed about his homosexuality. Will he overcome his predicament?

Seriously. That's the plot. It's excellent.

What do I say?
I really really really love this kdorama. The girl is really cute (even if she does look like a boy) and the coffee shop owner is appropriately macho, and they have excellent chemistry together. And there is just the right amount of will they - won't they, it's not endlessly dragged out like in other doramas I could mention (coughBoysOverFlowerscough). Plus, the coffee shop looks great and the other guys who work in the coffee shop are funny. There is a side story of a love triangle between the coffee shop owner, his cousin and the girl they both like(d) that drags a bit in places, but that doesn't really matter. Highly recommended, go and watch it right now.
