Hilarious!!

This show is absolutely hilarious!! My favorite lines have to be "I can't believe I scored in one try", "Now that grandma has her great grandson she forgot about me" and "Just run behind the car, get a workout in" I was laughing throughout the episode. Not to mention I absolutely adore the grandma. She is one of the quirkiest and coolest g-moms I've ever seen. Cun Xi continues to impress me. He is sweet, charming, and considerate. I also liked how the side plots were toned down in this episode. The story's main flaw is the Xin Yi. Although I do get that the writers made her have this personality for the purpose of the story, it just isn't believable(at least to me) that someone can be this much of a pushover. Overall hilarious, cute, and good episode.

Rooftop prince is Secret garden of 2012 ^_^ (i.e. TOTALLY ROCKS !! )

OMG what a cliffhanger at the end ... I totally have the feeling that the prince is going to misunderstand our poor Park Ha somehow !

u know , the usual : the evil sister will lie to make Park Ha look like the villain T_T , I can foresee it coming .



I'm so happy with the plot and how the story is developing , especially that Park Ha's mother is RICHHH (I mean I think she is CEO Jan's daughter...or at least I hope so ! ) :D

I was wondering how the second lead will start liking Park Ha , but that chocolate cake explained everything :) giving us the motivation he is going to have to approach her (That is if she really is the CEO's daughter) .



This episode was so adorable but sad at the same time .Now we know that Park Ha is starting to like Lee Gak but we can see that she will be heartbroken many times .I hope the prince will realize soon the real personality of his crown princess but I know it will take 6 episodes (give or take one ) for him to get the picture .



I can't wait till next week to watch the episode ! God , this drama is addicting .

Second Miracle and Best Episode Yet

This episode starts with Kang Cheol dying multiple times until he learns the truth about the people he loves. This has to be my favorite scene so far in the drama. I loved the way it was shot, and as more times he died, the more he remembered about his past. Woo Sung acting was great, as the more he found out, he became more desperate and anguished. Kim Bum did great as well, when he was trapped at the connivance store, I literally gasped. Both of them were trapped as time repeated itself.

One of my favorite parts of the episode was when the whole family went bathing. Seeing them singing together and having fun was very heartwarming, and when In Jung accepted that Kang Cheol was his father was also very moving.

The love story is also advancing. As Kang Cheol decides he wants to live for the one he loves, he decides he will love Ji Nah no matter what, and Ji Nah is starting to realize that she too likes Kang Cheol. The last scene in which both are swimming under the moonlight was very romantic.



So far I'm loving the drama, the sci-fi storyline is not very overwhelming, making it to be believable, I really like the detail of the plot and the acting so far has been nothing but great.

Great!

The last episode is what I remember best about this drama.

It was really unexpecting that they changed the pairing again when I was almost sure that Kaito and Asuka would end up as a couple.

Since I don't exactly like romance that much and I don't like these fast I-get-to-know-you-fall-for-you-Couple romances I loved the ending! :D

Bak Ha Regains Her Memories

I have to say it drew me in. Just when I thought I have the story figured out, new questions pop up and the details are intriguing. The writer is very smart. He makes you think about what happens next--he keeps you guessing. Those antics are becoming less and less, which I think is necessary as they have to show the Joseon 4's adaptation to the modern world.



I think the reason why we don't get to see Joseon anymore is that Lee Gak is clinging to his reincarnation theory and the fact that the modern counterpart of the Crown Princess is still alive and thus he has better chances continuing their love in the modern era than in Joseon where the Seja-bin is already dead.



I want to call Episode 6 as Bak Ha's Episode --because at the end, she owned it. After recovering her traumatic memories, she finally musters a strong resolve to tell Se Na straight to her face that she agrees to have nothing to do with her. The nerve of that woman slapping Bak Ha! Oooh my blood pressure! Let me slap her back too!



The way Lee Gak looked at Bak Ha's retreating back I really have this feeling that it dawned on him who Bak Ha's Joseon counterpart was!



Funniest part: Lee Gak trying to zoom out an LCD TV's screen using BOTH PALMS.



New puzzle: Who is CEO Jang's daughter?

Mystery, Love and Humor in Between

What I appreciate about Rooftop Prince is how well it's written. You get parts of mysteries and clues popping at one side and then romance and character development at the other. And somewhere in between there are still lots of time where humor is well incorporated. :)



Episode 5 manages to deliver all in the right doses. Not too sweet not too hilarious while not being melodramatic either.



It's understandable why Lee Gak thinks he is Tae Yong's reincarnation since this is convenient for him to get closer to his Sejabin's reincarnation (Se Na). Park Ha is already falling for Lee Gak and so is he for her--although he's not aware of it yet. (Why else would he go to her rooftop apartment after his haircut, buy a billboard of palm trees on a beach, AND chase after her in a truck?)



On a down-side, I got tired of Se Na saying her lines for the last two episodes--isn't there anything else she can say except for "Go to America"? Well at least they didn't drink coffee! They've been high on caffeine since Ep 2 every time they went out to have a talk with Bak Ha. Now it's water being splashed on her face! -_-#

"It is truth because people believe it"

Firstly, I liked a lot that the situation turned upside down and now, when Nobuta's gaining popularity (or at least neutral status), Shuji seems to have lost all of it in an instance.



And Akira shock, all this time I thought that the culprit was Mariko... Except for when Shuji chased her, then I could clearly see that the hair was shorter than Mariko's. But still, Akira shock!

"How can you date someone if you don't even like him?"

What I probably enjoy the most watching this drama, is probably Shuji's interest in and treatment towards Nobuta - from a project of popularity for his own curiosity we can see a new friendship developing, and this unique person (that is, Nobuta) changes rather shallow (at first) Shuji as a human being and creates deep understanding of values. The most amazing thing is, Nobuta isn't even trying to do anything like that at all, it's all just her mere presence and individuality that affects Shuji.

Hmm..

Nothing really seems to be happening since it's moving so slow. But I guess that's because it has 40+ episodes...

Nice!

I really liked the ending, especially the scene in the café had so much emotion.

I also liked the "translating" bit and it was great that Yuki finally believed in her grandpa's ghost.

The foreshadowing was also great, I would've loved to see the relationship between Masato and Yuki from there on.

Very nicely done. :)

Incredible

This was the best last episode ever. Everything fit, all loose ends were tied, it was the saddest episode for me and I cried so much.

I never expected them to kill Naoto, too, but I guess it was the only fitting end and what made it so perfect.

I can't give it another rating than 10.

Interesting

Honestly because I've watched several Tdramas I know that they can get a little ridiculous and the side plots are basically the same in almost every Tdrama so I won't take points off for those things. For this episode the only side plot that I fast forwarded was the step-bro/step-mom side plot. It's obvious where that plot is going and I'd rather watch the main plot. Dylan is introduced and I think he's pretty interesting, being a cutie helps as well ;). I especially liked the scene in the church. Xin Yi is still a pushover, but I see changes. I liked when she hustled Cun Xi. Cun Xi has got to be one of my favorite Tdrama male leads. He's definitely different and I like it. This episode was funny, cute, but it did get a bit ridiculous. I'll keep watching but I may end up skipping the more uninteresting side plots.

Funny yet confusing

This episode was really good, you can begin to see their feelings for each other. What I'm not so sure about it's his "love" for her. I feel bad for her because she's believing it when all he's doing is pulling a prank on her.
