......
Past
Lee Kak (later played by Micky Yoochun) is the Crown Prince. When he is ready to marry, Lee Kak wants to marry a beautiful woman.
Boo-Yong (later played by Han Ji-Min) and Hwa-Yong (later played by Jung Yoo-Mi) are sisters. Hwa-Yong, the older sister wants to marry Crown Prince Lee Kak, but her father makes it clear that younger sister Boo-Yong will marry the Crown Prince. Hwa-Yong is so upset, she uses an an iron to burn Boo-Yong's face, pretending it was an accident. Now, Boo-Yong carries a big scar on her face. Eventually, older sister Hwa-Yong marries Crown Prince Lee Kak. Time passes and are now adults. Younger sister Boo-Yong is now a smart woman, good with needlework. Older sister Hwa-Yong is uneasy that her husband, Crown Prince Lee Kak, and Boo-Young get along well. One day, Crown Prince Lee Kak wakes up in the early morning. He finds that Hwa-Yong is not next to him. He feels something strange about the situation and calls for an eunuch. At this time, an eunuch comes running to the Crown Prince and informs him that Hwa-Yong is found dead in a pond. Lee Kak suspects that his wife's death is not by accident. He puts together a team to investigate his wife's death. When the team awaits to interview a witness, a group of assassins appears and chases them. Crown Prince Lee Kak and his men are chased to the edge of a cliff. The group jumps off the cliff.
Present Day
When Park Ha (later played by Han Ji-Min) was young, her father remarried and Park Ha gained older step-sister Se-Na (later played by Jung Yoo-Mi). When their parents left for work, older step-sister Se-na despised having to take care of her younger sister. One day, while younger sister Park Ha sleeps inside a truck, the truck suddenly departs. Even though Se-Na sees the truck leaving, she turns around and pretends that it isn't happening. Time passes, younger sister Park Ha is now living in America. While, Park Ha sells fruits as a sidewalk vendor, Yong Tae-Yong (Micky Yoochun) sees her and feels a connection with Park Ha. Yong Tae-Moo (Lee Tae-Sung) appears in front of Yong Tae-Young. They are cousins. The following day, the two men boards a yacht. While the boat is sailing, they have a small fight and Yong Tae-Yong falls into the water. His cousin doesn't attempt to save Yong Tae-Yong and actually attempts to hide evidence that he was there. He then jumps into the water and swims away. At this time, younger sister Park Ha receives a phone call that her family has been located in South Korea. Park Ha travels to South Korea and learns that her father has just passed away. At her father's funeral, Park Ha meets her step-mother and older step-sister Se-Na. Park Ha has no memory of how she was separated from her family. Park Ha settles down in Seoul. One night, when she comes back to her rooftop room, she discovers four men, in Korean traditional clothing, sitting in her room.

I hated the ending so much! I didn't get it and i don't think it was a happy one.
20 episodes and that's what i get ...............I dont see why they couldn't of just made them end up together :(((((
This was one of the best dramas i ever watched but i think the end ruined it for me...........Damn i got way too much emotionally attached to this drama that it's so upsetting that i didn't get the end i wanted.

Omo i cant wait for the last 2 episodes! This is one of the best dramas i have ever watched, It so unique and amazing in every way but i'm kinda scared about the ending. Lee gak and park ha better end up together, Also i think it was boo yong that died at the start of it not the crown princess since she boo young made the princes thing that has the flower and butterfly on it and when the girl died at the start, the butterfly left and landed on park ha's shoulder. I guess we'll only know next week. I don't know how they are going to tie everything up in 2 eps, It might be a little rushed >.< But anyway guess i have to have another week of painfully waiting, Bbasha! <3

Apr 14 2012 4:04 am
really good show- beware of the pilot, i think many people would get the wrong idea, there is too much information and the whole america-korea back and forth felt too much.. and it wasn't as funny as the rest of the show, so it's a bad representative, but overall one of the best k-dramas i saw in a while.. :)

I am really impressed with Micky Yoochun and Han Ji Min. Micky has an amazing and unique ability as an actor/comedian. Wow! What a delightful experience it is to watch him. His body language and expressions are so endearing. This drama will not be forgotten because of his talent. Also I cannot speak well enough of Han Ji Mins' talent. She is lovely and combines strength and vulnerability, seriousness and cuteness perfectly. Often actresses are either too cute or too serious. The dynamic between hers and MIckys' character is so much fun to watch. I have never been so delighted by a couple before. I hope they do more parts together.

I like to guess what's going to happen,and my prediction is always right.I hope this time is also right.So my guess is that the girl in the pond is actually the little sister not the evil big sister,the reason why is that the crown prince told the people to cover her entire body..so yeahhhh...we'll wait and see ^_^

Apr 07 2012 9:55 pm
I think this drama is better than king 2 hearts. I watch king 2hearts because of Ha Ji Won and Lee seunggi. But I don't find any Interest in that drama. I'm really dissapointed.... :(
Anyway, Good luck for RTP. :D :D

I really love this movie and also I don't know what am I doing when I watched it. As it includes many characters such as feeling for crying and also happy(funny). But I really love this. I'm very crazy about YOOCHUN too!!!!!!
azurymint Says:
Mar 23 2012 10:07 am
@sana. i won't say yoochun is ugly, but he is not handsomme too. BUT i think his face get better since separated from DBSK. Maybe he got more attention when just being 3 people in JYJ. Anyway, his voice are not as good as junsu and jaejoong but i think his acting is better than two of them, and even changmin and uknow's acting are not as good as yoochun. that's why yoochun get more drama to be a lead role....
loveJYJ Says:
Mar 23 2012 3:45 am
@sana (Mar 22 2012 11:07 am)
well its your personal preference to say Yoochun is ugly,,but many people say Yoochun is handsome,,so i think something wrong with your eyes~:ppp
you don't need to watch Yoochun's drama if you don't like him,,its simple than throwing rubbish here~^^
personally i have many Korean Celebrity which i don't like but i am not wasting my time to bash them,,

I don’t know what they see in micky!!! He is aguly andthe only thing going on for him is his voice and JYJ… he has an ugly face!
Would it kill them if they used Jayjoung instead or even junsu or max >.<

I thought this drama will be like Sungkyunkwan Scandal... but after seeing the trailers this looks bad. I'm not really impressed with the lead actors nor their costume. I'm skipping this one, there are better dramas than this one

I can't believe Han Ji-Min is going directly from the lead in Padam Padam to the lead in Rooftop Prince without a break. Where does she get the energy?
The show itself looks interesting, a bridge between modern day dramas and period pieces. Truth be told, I think anything is going to be something of a letdown when compared with Padam Padam, but that's what happens when a show sets a new standard for awesome.
Frances Says:
Feb 26 2012 11:59 pm
can't wait to watch it.. but i still prefer Park Min Young over Han Ji Min... I like their team up in Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Frances Says:
Feb 26 2012 11:58 pm
I can't wait for it. I feel it's a good show though I don't like Han Ji Min that much to be Yoochun's leading lady for the show... I still love Park Min Young and Yoochun's team up...
