Story&Acting;/Cast:
The plot of this was very interesting and the first episode will have you captivated. If not, you'll be hooked by the second one. Honestly, I started to watch because Yoochun was the lead but then I ended up falling in love with all the characters with the exception of the antagonists who I deeply hated. The actors were very believable and took on their roles extremely well. This is the type of rom-com that I've been looking for. There's the moments where you laugh so hard that you can't breathe and the intense moments where you're on the edge of your seat. The whole time I was watching this, I kept thinking "the scriptwriters are brilliant". They tied everything together so well. Oh, and I absolutely loved how they handled the antagonists. Very nice.
I'm always hesitant on saying a drama is my favorite when I'm not completely done because endings can make or break it. And usually, they tend to disappoint me. However, with Rooftop Prince, this ending is definitely a favorite. It was a good conclusion and up to your own interpretation.
Music:
Baek Ji Young's powerful voice makes the mood of whatever is going on that much more emotional. And when needed, there's Jay Park to light up the mood with "Happy Ending". I have my own Rooftop Prince playlist on my iPod and I like to listen to it occasionally. One of my favorite OSTs.
Rewatch Value:
Usually I don't rewatch dramas because I already know what has happened but I feel like I need to rewatch this to get the smaller hints, ones that I haven't noticed before.
Overall:
Seriously, go watch it and make sure to have a box of tissues when you're near the end. I don't think I have cried that hard for a drama in a long time.

Reason I watched: The kiss scenes, lol.
Story: Pretty different from Rooftop Prince, the only similarity was the time travel. I believe that this is as original as a time travelling plot can get. What I loved about it is that, to a certain extent, he could control whether or not he was in the past or the present. It doesn’t get annoying with the constant travelling back and forth (like it did in Operation Proposal). This plot was so well thought out and same with the characters. I don't know what else I can say without ruining the drama. Words aren't enough to explain how good this plot was, you'll just have to see for yourself.
Acting/Cast: Wow. Great cast. Great acting. You can't deny the chemistry between the two leads. Nothing more I can say.
Music: Fit in with the mood but nothing too memorable.
Rewatch value: I hardly ever re-watch dramas and this doesn't seem like it will be good the second time around. Seems like I've gotten everything the first time.
Overall: This drama was so cute, so hilarious, so heartbreaking, just an emotional roller coaster ride. It's well worth your time.
