    Rooftop Prince is now my favorite Korean drama of all. The actors, story, music, and scenes are really great. All I can say is that you can be swept away by the emotions that the actors are portraying all throughout this drama.

    You'll be definitely hooked once you started watching this and can't stop yourself until you've finished the 20 episodes of it. You'll love every moment watching this drama!!! I love it so much!!!

    This drama was absolutely amazing.

    I started watching this drama because a friend had told me so much about it. She knew I was a sucker for romance, and thought I'd enjoy this drama.

    The music was mesmerizing, and fantasically helps display the different emotions portrayed in the drama. The cast was perfect. The two leading roles had sizzling chemistry. :D

    The plot was very interesting. It kept me watching episode by episode...I didn't skip any parts!!

    I especially loved how the plot of this super amazing drama makes the viewers think if there is a "fated" or "destined" person out in the world for them (if you watch the drama, you'll understand what I mean).

    I honestly recommend this drama for viewers who are looking     read more

    I thought this drama was just "okay". I assumed it would get more exciting as i continued to watch it....but it didn't. Out of all the dramas i have completed watching in 2012, this had to be one of the worst.

    The only thing about this drama that swept me off my feet was the OST which I found wonderful and some really funny scenes at the beginning. However the story for me was not as great as it could have been as it had a big potential thanks to the very good actors and the original idea. What spoilt it for me were the over the top villain characters and how everyone bore with their actions without trying to defend themselves or figuring out many obvious facts. The ending left me unimpressed but I wasn't disappointed either as it was in line with the whole story. This is a drama that unfortunately I will not rewatch for sure as I couldn't go through all the unfairness that the main female character has to face all over again.

    I liked the ending. If it was Taeyong then it probably represented another chance of love or her moving on but it's highly unlikely to be Taeyong so it;s probably Lee Gak although I must confess that the ending with Taeyong would have pleased me more.

    I finished this drama a few weeks ago and I still love it to bits. I can't get over how wonderful it was, I enjoyed watching it so much ;w; Some scenes made me laugh so hard, and other scenes left my eyes all teary...it's forever going to be one of my favorite dramas <3

    So far I've liked this drama but I'll admit I skipped around between episodes 10-14. I can only handle so much scheming! SeNa and TaeMu are killing me! I really really hate SeNa

    I enjoyed this drama so much and still can't get over even I've finished it like two or three weeks passed. But the last two episodes seriously left my heart broken! :'(

      Just to make you feel better: My version of understanding the endling! It will heal your heart, at least a bit! :)
      So I said to myself: The present Tae Yong still remembers his past life as Lee Gak. So he purposely got hit by Tae Mu and also he didn't wake up. Because he still remembers what a beautiful time he had with Park Ha, so then when Lee Gak returned, he could wake up without destroying history (^^) and going to finally meet her, after waiting for all these years... ///*.*/// Ahhh, I know there may be some points against my theory but it made me feel better, so leave me and my crying heart alone! :P ^^
      I just loooove that drama! <3

      I'll read your comment when I'm done with the last episode Temeraire! Hehe, just in case I don't like the ending too much (though I doubt it, I'm an understanding viewer).

      I'll gladly wait for your opinion on this! ^^

      It turns out that I do't mind the ending, actually! And your version does sound interesting (though some people argued that Tae Yong really died).

      I think that the soul of Lee Gak (and all of its memories) woke in Tae Yong's body after Lee Gak went back to Joseon because when he was in Park Ha's shop and she wasn't even looking at him, he had this familiar Gak-like smirk.

      Another thing, when he came to meet her, he *did* say that he'd waited for her for a really long time (300 years) and you'd notice that his hands were placed behind his back--which is the way Lee Gak placed his hands all this time.

      Then there's the image of Lee Gak in the end, making it even more obvious that it's still Lee Gak on the inside.

      :) I loved the ending. It wasn't all happy (Lee Gak lost Bu Yong & Park Ha) but the idea that their love would stand hundred years later is awesome~~~

      like i said a long time ago xD ( when it was broadcasting lol ) it's really LG in TY's body. the soul is the same. I also heard about temeraire's supposition. i've seen in a website that it was him since NY and the fact that he was in a coma was all premeditate by the " destiny " lol. also it's usual to find a random person who (yes has the same physic ) will tell u " i've been waiting for u for so long" while crying and asking for your hand xD . If yes we'll be like "RUUUUUN BITCH RUUUUUN " xD. it's obvious that it was him :) same body same soul :)

    LOVED this drama~ <3 The acting, OST, and plot were all phenomenal. One second I was crying, the other I felt like throwing my laptop out the window 'cause of the antagonist. LOL This one made me emotionally unstable. xD And gosh, who could NOT love the power rangers?
