Hwa Yong, the older sister wants to marry Crown Prince Lee Gak, but her father makes it clear that younger sister Bu Yong will marry the Crown Prince. Hwa Yong is so upset, she uses an an iron to burn Bu Yong’s face, pretending it was an accident. Now, Bu Yong carries a big scar on her face. Eventually, older sister Hwa Yong marries Crown Prince Lee Gak. Time passes and are now adults. Younger sister Bu Yong is now a smart woman, good with needlework. Older sister Hwa Yong is uneasy that her husband, Crown Prince Lee Gak, and Bu Young get along well. One day, Crown Prince Lee Gak 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 Gak 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 Gak and his men are chased to the edge of a cliff. The group jumps off the cliff. The Prince from the Joseon era travels to the future with his entourage Song Man Bo (Lee Min Ho), Woo Yong Sul (Jung Suk Won) and Do Chi San (Choi Woo Shik).

Seoul 2012

When Park Ha (Han Ji Min) was young, her father remarried and Park Ha gained older step-sister Se Na (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…..

    Urg, n0t online about 3 days, the c0mment was increase so fast. I must start to re-read from 1125-1203. Huft hard work. . . Yeah, i have finished watch ep 14 about 3 hours ago. . . So now i know what do you all talking about. . .

    Park jun hee Says:

    @jangerr 1123 and @sara 1147
    yeah, u r right. I think ep 13-14 is n0t as go0d as than previous ep. Damn, i a bit dissapointed. 2 hour watch it, i just keep curious about the kiss scene at first part of ep 13, after that, the scene just focused to evil sena and tae m0o. Urg,. . .
    Emm, i think the plot of ep 13-14 are too fast. There is many facts showed on ep 13-14 which make me c0nfuse, i just can said “what the hell? How can be like that? I’m confuse”.
    For me, if the writer want to show all facts in 6 eps left, its n0t en0ugh. There are many facts that does need sm0oth process, n0t can be fast.
    And i’m agree if here, PH is so stupid. Ouch, come on, there are many facts that she know, but she just keep silent seem like didnt know anything! And i suggest to the writer, please make some scene that show of big action and sacrifice Park Ha. For example, maybe park ha start told sena’s evil things to Lee Gak.

    oh,yeah thank you so much.you answered them carefully and with patience.that’s why i enjoy this dissociation so much.you guys are such wonderful critics.

    the interesting point now is the love between LG n PH.how the writer is going to solve the puzzle?will PH fall in love with TY?it’s not like that PH can go back and live in Jeoson era.now,i think Jeoson people are going to disappear soon n TY comes back.in his way we can find more about him and won’t be shocked if PH falls for him.i don’t think TY n LG would be that different from each other.TY is the modern upgraded version of LG.

    This is one of the best korean drama I’ve ever seen…..
    The story is somethingf like memorable that you cannot forget…..
    At the beginning the three guys makes me laugh and enjoy more the plot, but now they are less shown and make me sad about that, i hope the writer give them a little more break before the drama end…..

    Park jun hee Says:

    @collene
    yeah of c0urse. It’s really go0d drama.

    @hny 1125
    hmm after read ur c0mment i also thought hard. How can TY and LG can meet. I think its n0t en0ugh to arrange how TY and LG meet in 6 eps left. As u kn0w that TY is comma, it’s spend much time to refresh be healthly, right? In the way i said, maybe TY n LG doesnt meet. After LG come back to j0seon (maybe ep 16/17) in that time TY would come back to seoul, isnt it?

    @sweet 1148
    hahaha, i want to laugh read ur c0mment, hehe maybe the teacher who make the exam question also addict with rooftop prince like us. So, because she/he want to prom0te this drama, she/he make question ab0ut Ro0ftop prince. But, anyone kn0w what the subject from that exam?

  11. 1211
    Park jun hee Says:

    @minny 1149
    ur welcome. Yeah, i also have read on an article that micky maybe postponed join military training. After healthy check, he cant join cause he had serious asma. Yeay yeay yeay, i also read that his two fellow in jyj, junsu and jaej0ng also had n0t j0in military due to their own reas0n. Ouch, i cant imagine if baby faced man like yo0chun should j0in military. Andwaeee!

    @poohs 1151
    n0, im n0t korean, i’m ind0nesian. But actually i also stay in korea several m0nths. And then “park jun hee” is my korean name there ^^

  12. 1212
    Park jun hee Says:

    @sara 1176
    when i read ur 5 question, well its also make me confuse. In the way i said, maybe its n0t en0ugh if there is just 6 eps left, it should be extention to 22/24 eps again like equator man. Then, the story could be well and didnt make a lot question, cause its would complete. Isnt it?

    @nilli,
    Hi, welcome. Thank you for your comment. Do join in. We’r just chatting here, not writing an English exam, so don’t worry abt it.

    We cheer when we see sth we like; we complain when there is sth we don’t like. We have a lot of common ground bc we all love KD n most of the stars, esp. Micky! Sometimes we disagree, but it does’t mean we are arguing or r angry w each other. In this process of cheering n complaining, mostly agreeing, sometimes disagreeing, thru some ups, some downs, we finish watching a series together! Isn’t it wonderful?

    I love this drama so much. I always wait for every episodes LOL :D I think, I’m addicted to it.

    @nilli #1208 Yes, agree with KDaddict, welcome. We’re not here for English lessons so long as you don’t insult or use bad language on other posters :-D We all come here to express our joy and frustrations on KDs, our favourite getaway, so do join in.
    @Park jun Hee Micky in uniform? Faint faint if I ever see him wear one. He’ll look so good and so will Junsu and JJ. But since they are not going, am glad. Really looking forward to JJ’s drama too :-D

    KDaddict Says:

    @sara-1196,
    I understand what you r saying abt expecting a lot fr KDs now that you’ve watched many of them.
    We can expect all we want, but few KDs r satisfying on every criterion. (That’s why these days, I watch less of them myself.) There r plenty more attractive stars than there r truly gifted n dedicated script-writers like Kim Eun Sook, The Hong Mi-Ran Sisters. So we enjoy the stars, n most of the time, just tolerate the scripts to the extent that we can.
    Truth be told, we don’t come to KDs for a cerebral experience. For sensational, intelligent scripts, my favs are The West Wing, The Sopranos, n new Sorkin works, the latest of which, the News Network, I have yet to check out. These U.S. tv shows may not be your cup of tea, but we turn to diff sources to scratch diff itches, I suppose.

    KDaddict Says:

    @sweet-1217,
    Really? That makes me very happy! Thanks for the good news!
    I L-O-V-E The Princess Man, a truly well written, well produced, well acted drama. It deserves to win. Hip hip Hooray!
    That makes my day. TQ. TQ. Kiss kiss.

    jangerr Says:

    @ Jennie, KDaddict, sweet, sara, hny & all Roof Toppers!

    Jennie, I like your idea @1192! It’s certainly some serious food for thoughts… I mean, with the growing interest and demand for kdramas, you may have hit on a jackpot! Hahaha!

    Back to our discussions on the show, the 2 things that really get my goat is the dumbing of the prince and Park Ha and the neglect of the ‘skills’ of the Joseon trio by the writer.

    Many of you have rightfully pointed out how Park Ha is so thick in the skull but I must say, so is the prince! He’s supposed to be this smart prince on a mission but he behaved like a dim witted, lovestruck, stick in the mud teenager around Se Na! To make things more frustrating, like what KDaddict has brought up, why did the writer make the prince go through all the troubles to recruit the 3 men for their specific skills and not use it at all??! It just doesn’t make sense!

    But after all is said and done, still love RTP! That speaks volumes about my love for the cast. Think they are doing an excellent job despite the many holes and weakness of the script…

    hi, @KDaddict- you got the point (*_*).. !
    @Jennie – you right,we can be a writer together,lol !! it can be our side job.

    Q1210-maybe u right,but as u know,since ep.13 the plot going reveal fast..so it’s possible that LG met TY .
    And I a fan for PM and a mellow guy..Park She Hoo,if I’m not wrong,PM became a winner to last year,but I dont know what a wards !.Good Job 4 PM.

    KDaddict Says:

    Oh, if Micky puts on a uniform, n Jennie faints, we can’t be there to catch her, cos we would all have fainted too!
    @hny, I’ve been on this website many years. I swear your comment, u know, that one fr yesterday, makes me laugh the most! It really tickles my funny bone. I’m still laughing whenever I think abt it. The things we do for KD! Haha.
    If u r from heaven, are u a fairy? Have u seen I need a Fairy? There r 2 fairies fr heaven, n they……. It’s really a good show.

    Can’t join u all on your book project. My hubby has never once joined me in viewing a single KD ep. He might pass by n give a casual comment, sometimes ignorant, sometimes irrelevant, sometimes observant. I don’t really want him to watch w me anyway. I know too much, n he knows nothing abt KDs, I’d have to explain everything. No thx.
