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…..

i dont like the ending, they cant be together. after wathing this drama i cried so much, but daebak for yu chun ^_^
July 17th, 2012 at 12:04 pm
just finished this drama. I love all of the part of rooftop prince. The story line, the cast, ost, aaah just love this drama very much!!! They should make the part 2 of this to tell what happen with Pak Ha and Tae Young.
Really recommended! Yoochun just hooked me once again, he’s superb! Both singing and acting he mastered it! I love you, Yoochun!
I think it isn’t a sad ending drama.. But the last episode is too short. It will be better if they serve more of PH and TY meeting part. Is TY surprisingly awake for his coma? Bcoz it told before that TY has a little chance to be cured. That’s weird. Or LG eventually come back to 2012 and pretend as TY?

July 19th, 2012 at 7:11 pm

Rooftop Prince Best Drama of The Year……
August 2nd, 2012 at 1:42 am
rooftop prince…yes, it was such a nice drama ever…a drama that really touched my heart. I’ve been watching korean dramas but i’m proud to say that this rooftop prince is my favorite drama ever… though it made me cried a lot but I really love the story, nice ost, the casting, everything… are great, especially to micky yoochun,
for us viewers, what we are looking forward for a drama is that it has a nice story, a happy ending, as well as the leading actor, must be well-known and popular so that he can easily get the attention of the viewers…
Micky yoochun… you’re amazing. The role fitted and suited only for you.
August 2nd, 2012 at 4:07 am
im still at ep.10…so far…ITS HILARIOUS!
Micky is lovable as usual…even my 3 yr old daughter recognized him and ask “Mommy Sungkyungkwan?”.
Han Ji Min…hmmm…its her 1st drama i’ve watched of her…i like her…shes so beautiful.
i also love the 3 musketeers of joseon era! (Song Man Bo (Lee Min Ho), Woo Yong Sul (Jung Suk Won) and Do Chi San (Choi Woo Shik).
Jung Yoo Mi is so effective in her role…i really hate her (Se Na) in this drama.
i really hope it has a happy ending…Congratulations to all the cast & everyone behind the camera! Good Job!
