"In this Aug. 11, 2015, photo, Edhi Park, 28, poses for a photograph at the cafe where "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince," the 2007 TV drama where the protagonist is a female who disguises herself as a man, was filmed in Seoul, South Korea. Park, who identifies as a transgender female, struggled to cope with her body and how she felt in it throughout her adolescence. "[The show] gave me sense of hope that I could look pretty too like her and blend in," said Park, who watched the show while serving in the military."
