Niris Feb 10 2015 10:17 pm Wowww! I just finished watching Coffee Prince and I usually like to look up actors afterwards to learn more about them and their careers. Then I saw Date of Death and immediately became saddened. To think he was only 13 days older than me. Its a shame and sad. He would of had a great career ahead of him. I really liked his character in this drama series. So sad indeed, RIP. :-(
