Rooftop Prince is a story of reincarnation and love transcending time. It is not something that should be taken seriously, because it is fantasy. There are flaws in this drama, but the silliness and romance more than make up for it. It is a feel good drama even though there is death and normal drama angst. This is a rom/com fantasy drama so don’t look at it as a crime solving drama although there is a plot for you to figure out. Some people may find the ending sad, but I look at it as beautiful. It is somehow peaceful to know that there is a love that can last forever.
Some of the acting is cheesy, but that is the point of the drama. I have heard that people did not think that Micky Yoochun could act. I think that this drama will put that to rest. He did great playing both Lee Kak and Yong Tae Yong. He does a superb job at the point in this drama where he has to go back and forth. Han Ji Min was too cute as Park Ha and Boo Yong. She takes care of her man in many ways and looks totally sincere playing that role.
All the actors were great. Min Ho/Man Bo, Suk Won/Yong Sul, and Woo Sik/Chi San are too cute and play an intricate role in the lives of the main characters. Tae Sung plays one of the best bad guys in a drama that has totally lost his mind in Tae Mu. Yoo Mi plays the sister of Park Ha/Boo Yong that is bitter and cruel. I really enjoyed her character although the writers are a little too giving to the character of SeNa. It is the only time that I find the writing to be off base although they had to do it for the story to end as the romantic comedy they wanted instead of a tragedy. All in all the acting is really good.
I really did enjoy the music.
I probably won’t rewatch this drama.
Overall I would say this is definitely a drama to watch!!! Hope you enjoy!!!
