Miss Laney's pursuit of the drama "Squid Game" found an unexpected coincidence, at the end of the first episode, the organizer listened to jazz music and played the song "Fly Me To The Moon", which was almost the same as the orchestra that appeared in the Korean drama "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" 14 years ago!

Miss Laney found a photo of her trip to Korea in 2010, when she went to the home of "Uncle Han Sung" (played by Lee Sun-kyun) in the play, fans who have watched "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" should remember that Uncle Han Cheng also had a group of bands on the 2nd floor of his house, and now that scene has been changed to a café, the band is changed to the entrance of the 1st floor!

I took a special picture to commemorate it, and I would go from time to time during my work in Korea, which was one of the top three of my favorite attractions in Seoul. It just so happened that there was "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" on Netflix, so I found this scene in the second episode, and after the screenshot comparison, I found that the woman singing with the band dolls had the same hairstyle, hair color and clothes!

However, the gentleman who plays the piano has changed from a white shirt to a black shirt, and the clothes of some musicians are different in color, so it is speculated that it is not the same set of props. It turns out that the set of props should be reserved for the current café operators to continue to use, but it just so happens that the director or art staff of "Squid Game" also thought of this arrangement, I don't know if director Huang Donghe has also seen "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop"
However, the color of the piano-playing doll's clothes has changed. (Photo/Recap from Netflix)
Another coincidence is that the same actor appears in both plays. Kong Liu changed from president Cui (the coffee prince) to a mysterious man (squid game), (of course, to take a screenshot of our president Cui's good figure).
Both Squid Games and The Coffee Prince have Kong Liu. (Photo/Recap from Netflix)
In addition, Choi Han-jae ("Coffee Prince" Kong Liu) grandmother, became the mother of Cheng Qixun ("Squid Game" Lee Jung-jae), veteran actor Kim Young-wook is 83 years old this year, friends who often watch Korean dramas will remember her face ~ 14 years ago, there is no change in her face, super easy to recognize!

I would like to share my unexpected discovery with you. "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is still my favorite top few Korean dramas, friends who have watched it can revisit it on Netflix, friends who have not seen it, strongly recommend Oh ~ ~
