Rooftop Prince (2012)

enjoyable

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I had thoughts of watching this drama after coming across a few of its hilarious clips. And yeah it entertains to the fullest possible way despite having flaws in the story.

●FIRST IMPRESSION
The story is simply cute and suspenseful, but the uncovering of suspense took a really long time. This drama could have been wrapped in 18 episodes if they didn’t go into the identity crisis of Park Ha.

●PLOT VIEW
The character doing their historic stuff and adjusting to the modern era was hilarious but genuine. the transportation concept wasn’t cleared as in firstly the characters made us believe that rooftop is the reason but at the end that was just for nothing. And they were running on during the historic period but in the present time, they were in Lotus position as if meditating.

●ACTING/CAST
All the characters were amazing, vibing the historic time with their gestures, costumes, and body language. I personally enjoyed Choi Woo Shik as Do Chi San, he had the charm to crack jokes with his pity side.
FL Han Ji Min as Park Ha was a little immature with the expressions but had good chemistry with Park Yoo Chan as Lee Kak.
Negative characters are made to be hated. So there it was but the grandmother took every chance to fall whenever there is a tense situation, the most annoying character.

●MUSIC
it was cool and refreshing, I enjoyed the flute BGM and even searched it. It had a rhythmic tone making my feet move to their tune.

●REWATCH
I would like to watch the comical scenes rather than the whole drama.

Fun watch with some disappointment

The story had a great start. It was hilarious and suspenseful. For the first 14 episodes it was amazing and very well executed with proper pacing and structure. Watching the whole cast was a treat and very funny. Watching this drama was so much fun! I enjoyed the music and among the cast, I enjoyed the interactions of the three minions the most. My favorite part of the show was how these 4 guys adjust to the modern world. From episode 15-19, the story was concluded in a very lame way. Many intelligent characters became stupid, some characters changed suddenly and it seems not much effort was put here to keep up the quality with which the show started and I had high expectations on how they would have concluded. Ep 20 was good though I was expecting some more detail. If they had wrapped the show in a more structured and clean way, it would be one of my top shows. Despite the flaws, it was a treat to watch and a fun and enjoyable ride overall!

Surprisingly Good

I read quite a few reviews about this show being good but for some reason I didn't have high expectations. Something about those bright colored track suits seemed silly to me. lol

I really enjoyed this story line as it's different from what I usually watch. It is still technically a romcom but it's not solely focused on that. I also really liked that they didn't dwell on the whole, she thinks they're insane and must've escaped an asylum or something. lol I mean it does take her a bit, but they didn't let that drag on too long.

These guys suffered the same fate as Lee Jong Suk in Pinocchio, which is falling victim to the very interesting hairstyles that dominated the early 2010's for male stars in Korea. lmao I get it, I do, but I'd rather they kept their historical hairstyles because they looked a little wild especially when combined with those bright track suits. haha

OMG worst epilogue ever
the worst end which spoils the whole drama for me

the whole events was so logical and full of suspense which make you excited to finish it quickly
till u suddenly shocked with the illogical last episode

first of all the ML many times his performance wasn't good enough and so fake

and what happened at the last ep was nonsense
from where did he know the actual incidence that happened at Joseon Dynasty while he was busy at the main time with the FL
and he told it actually as it happened

and that stupid time jump which made me confused which one of the Male leads the FL ends up with ??
if he was the modern version when he waked up from his coma
and if he was from the past how he travelled again to her ??

and what annoyed me the most that
i was waiting the whole drama to see how see na will get punished
and i was about to jump out of the window and break the screen when i saw her end after all what she did

the last ep made me feel that the writer suddenly got bored and decided to end this drama in any way

SO FRUSTRATING END EVER -_-
except that the whole drama was a master piece

this was the first time travelling drama i picked so this one is special..from the first moment one is hooked to the screen when watching this drama.its like this vortex making you forget everything else.
i wasn't sure if Yoochun was gonna do a good job with playing the role of the king but he was perfect for this role.he has improved a lot from his last drama.Ha Ji Min is very convincing in her role and so beautiful too.she acts amazingly well and makes us all emotional.throughout the play i felt what she felt-anger,betrayal everything,that's how good she is.the other 3 guys are just too cute for words.they make up half the comedy of the show and good at that too

the story is very interesting but somehow in between it looses its touch.i loved the part of the mystery of the whole drama and how everything gets explained.but somewhere in between the drama lost touch with me.the whole plot revolves basically around Se Na and her shenanigans.she is one of the most irritating villains i'v come across in a drama.even the villain of you're beautiful seems an angel in front of her.they could have strengeed the whole part giving less space to Se Na and more space to the mystery or the romance part.

the chemistry between the leads is interesting and keeps getting stronger as the drama progresses.i felt the compulsion to finish this just like in 49 days but this is a bad compulsion because all i wanted was for the whole thing to end so that my leads get some onscreen time.
the music is good nothing explosive but sounds good to hear

i rarely rewatch serials but if i get down to rewatching this one i'd prob skip all parts apart from the romance.

this is the type of drama you should watch when you have a week off.coz believe me u wont rest until its finished..:D..its that compulsive..a good romance to spice up anyone's day

Bellissimo drama, molta commedia fino a lacrimare, bellissima la storia piochè diversa dalle altre, INASPETTATA, avrei di certo preferito che continuasse, i due protagonisti sono troppo belli, formano una bella coppia Micky Yoochun ,bellissimo lui con la sua voce che mi penetra il cuore , e Han Ji Min lei super bella con lo sguardo più dolce di tutta Joseon. questo drama è davvero eccezionale: la trama è davvero ben congeniata e gli attori sono davvero molto molto bravi! Ci sono parecchi colpi di scena e la storia fra loro due è
Un drama davvero molto bello che consiglio vivamente, altro consiglio? preparatevi una scorta di kleenex E' un drama da guardare assolutamente

Started out great, lost interest super quickly.

Overall, I didn't like this. I think maybe if it had been a mini-series I would have liked it. I enjoyed the first 2 episodes and then I ended up skipping like 75% of episodes 4-8. Then I just jumped to the last episode and watched it.
Honestly, the entire story could have been done in like 2 or 3 episodes. The rest was just boring and drawn out for drama purposes.

The characters seemed pretty flat to me, and not well-rounded from what I saw. I still don't understand the step-sister's behavior and I'm not going back to try and watch it all to figure it out. Honestly, if she doesn't have a motive from the beginning then it doesn't make sense to give her one over halfway through the series.

I'm sure some people have watched this and enjoyed it. It just wasn't a drama meant for me I guess.
