Rooftop Prince is an extremely well thought out (and thought provoking), laugh out loud comedy, and above all, a love story. Crown Prince Lee Gak awakes one morning to discover the tragic death of the Crown Princess, and vows to do whatever it takes to discover the truth behind her murder. He puts together a team of the three most intelligent and skilled citizens of Joseon, and starts looking for clues; but the mysterious and magical properties of fate transport them three hundred years into the future. Here reincarnations of a still living princess and the other main characters struggle to escape a similar demise. Now it's up to the Prince and his new entourage to not only adapt to the modern world, but figure out what fate wants them to get right and prevent history from repeating itself. But first, they must survive living off the rooftop of the blunt and energetic city girl who's searching for a past of her own. Strangely, she seems to have ties to all those from former Joseon, despite being the only one with a face and name no one can remember.

Acting: The acting was brilliant on all sides. I do want to point out though, because this is a COMEDY, a few of the characters or more serious scences can seem a little over exaggerated at times. If you're able to look past this though, you should find this very enjoyable.

Music: Music was a 10/10. Very moving and matches well with the emotional scenes. I've had the songs stuck in my head long after I've finished watching. And I'm not tired of them yet!

Rewatch Value for me is really high. Despite my uncertainty at times, this show undeniably had me laughing and crying more than any other I've ever watched. I very much look forward to rewatching this drama that stole my heart.

Overall, I am floored by how spectacular this drama was. From the high caliber of the comedy, to the plot, the music, and the ROMANCE!!! (normally, I'd touch on this more, but I don't want to give anything away; it speaks volumes on its own). I enjoyed this SO much in fact, that it only took me three days to complete, and I wasn't bored once! Anyone whose watched a lot of dramas will tell you, that's crazy! I sincerely regret not picking this one up sooner. I hope that you find it just as enjoyable
