Kang Joon-woo, who visited Vietnam to shoot an advertisement, will be left alone in Vietnam without anyone he knows due to an unexpected incident. In the process, he runs into Tao (Yellow River), who dreams of becoming a barista, and starts an unpredictable romance in an unfamiliar land.
Lee Kwang-soo, who was recently recognized for his acting skills by winning the 4th Blue Dragon Series Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance of Bad Performance, will transform into a world star with a warm personality of 'Wear' even though he looks feisty on the outside. Expectations are high for Kang Joon-woo's exciting romance performance, which will be a collection of irreplaceable Lee Kwang-soo's charms that have been shown in movies, dramas and entertainment shows.

On top of that, expectations are rising for Kang Jun-woo's character synchro-yul, who has become an Asian prince, and his familiar and unique Vietnamese scenery makes the film differentiated from each other (kenh14.vn ),"Lee Kwang-soo's delightful comic performance will captivate the audience" (tienphong.vn ),"Lee Kwang-soo's characteristic witty comedy performance is expected"(Vietnam.vn ),"Excellent harmony of Korean-style romantic comedy sensibility with Vietnamese cultural elements"(danviet.vn ),"Interesting synergy between Lee Kwang-soo and Vietnam"(nld.com.vn ), and the Asian prince's character synchro-.
Interest and reactions to Korean films in Vietnam are even hotter this year after the movie 'Pamyo' surpassed 2.4 million viewers last year, setting a new Korean film record for release in Vietnam. The remake of the Korean film 'Great Wish'Last Wish' rose to the top of the box office, and 'I'm Going to Abandon My Mom', which is set to be released in Korea in the second half of this year, topped the box office with emotion and tears to Vietnamese audiences, breaking even in three days after its release.
As such, Lee Kwang-soo, one of the most loved Korean actors in Vietnam due to the success of K-movies in Vietnam, appears as the best star in Asia, raising expectations with deep sympathy. In addition to Lee Kwang-soo, Eum Moon-seok, the main character of the box office of 『Yuk Sa-oh(6/45)" which attracted 2.26 million viewers when it was released in Vietnam in 2022, will appear as Jeong Han-cheol, the manager of Asia's top star Kang Joon-woo and an old friend who has been with him since he was unknown.
Lee Kwang-soo made a full-fledged promotional fairy move by appearing on YouTube channel 'Fingyego' and YouTube 'Calm Man' to promote 'Love Barista'. Various promotional activities are scheduled not only in Korea but also in Vietnam, so they will perform all-weather activities across borders. Interest in Lee Kwang-soo's survival comic romance is increasing as he has built up acting skills through various works.
'Love Barista' is a work about the survival and love of an Asian prince star who is left alone in Vietnam without a manager, passport, or money in an unfamiliar foreign land. Lee Kwang-soo, Hwangha, Eum Moon-seok, and Dewey Khan appeared, and director Kim Sung-hoon of 'Collaboration'Changgwol' took the megaphone. It will be released in Korea in the second half of the year after its release in Vietnam on October 3.
