Thank you! Yes, he DID!!!

first drama that i'm satisfied with the ending

I really liked the Joseon episode & finding out what happened (hooray to all of us who were adamant that it wasn't Crown Princess that drowned). I really admired the bravery & determination of Bu Yong on how she saved the Crown Prince's life & at the same time tried to protect her family.

Conclusion I noticed that Bu Yong was a heck of a lot smarter & braver than the airhead/doormat that is Pak Ha lol
Its such a shame that she was the best character (out of all both in Joseon & modern times) yet shes the one who had the most suffering throughout her life.

I didn't get the ending I wanted for Se Na I am not happy that she gets to grow a conscience at episode 19 that is waaayyyy too late in a 20 episode drama :p

All in all it was no great masterpiece but it was entertaining & fun so 9/10 :)

Lee Gak/Crown Prince went back to Joseon times & stayed there alone as Bu Yong died & crown princess was exiled.

Tae Yong meanwhile has awoken from his coma & meets up with Pak Ha in modern times ....presumably as he is a reincarnation of Lee Gak he feels a strong pull towards Pak Ha/maybe even retains some memories....

I guess this was the writers way of trying to give the viewers a happy ending which wasn't really possible as the 2 people who met & fell in love with EACH OTHER were Pak Ha & Lee Gak but at the end of the drama they were separated by 300 years so next best thing Tae Yong & Pak Ha end up together.

I just want to share this... I was curious about the content of the joseon book that Park Ha read too... (^-^) *Han Ji Min Gave Necklace as She Saw Death of Yoochun in Annals of Joseon Dynasty* In the final episode (ep. 20) of SBS’s “Rooftop Prince” aired on May 24th, 2012, thanks to the necklace gifted by Park Ha (Han Ji Min), Lee Gak (Park Yoochun) once again escaped death. The gang of Crown Prince who returned to Joseon Dynasty begain to investigate the secret of the murder of Crown Princess. The original plot is to kill Lee Gak, but in order to save Lee Gak, Bu Yong (the past life of Park Ha) died instead, causing the tragedy. The masterminds behind the scene are none other than family of Crown Princess and half brother of Lee Gak, Prince Muchang (Lee Tae Sung), who is the past life of Yong Tae Mu. In the process of investigating the murder case, Lee Gak is attacked by Prince Muchang, and is hit at the chest by the arrow of Prince Muchang. When the arrow stuck in the heart of Lee Gak, Prince Muchang assumes that Lee Gak is dying, and laughes. But Lee Gak is unhurt, because the arrow hit the necklace, and not Lee Gak’s heart. Before Lee Gak went back to Joseon Dynasty, Park Ha requested him, “Must hang on the chest,” and gave him the necklace the wedding keepsake. Park Ha who saved the life of Lee Gak in the past life, and this time, she once again saved his life. Previously, in order to prove that Lee Gak is from Joseon Dynasty, Park Ha went to read “Annals of the Joseon Dynasty”. While reading, she was shedding tears, raising curiosity. Netizens who watched this scene commented, “So she read that Lee Gak was killed by arrow, so she prepared the necklace,” “Ah! Tragic, Bu Yong is so poor,” “Even after 300 years, still remembering,” and so on. On the other hand, the last episode of the “Rooftop Prince” recorded the viewership rating of 14.8% (national average based on AGB Nielson), an increase of 2% from 12.8% achieved on the previous episode, and become the drama ranked number one of the same time slot. via Nate Drama Haven

really?? cool!! B)

I was somewhat enlightened too after reading this... I mean, they really didn't explain in the drama what Park Ha had read... so I was glad after reading this. (^-^)

Because Lee Gak isn't as smart as Boong-Do, lol. But I have to agree, that explanation really helped me understand it more.
