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.

Good Start

Good start for a drama. It's actually a lot different from a lot of Tdramas that I've watched. For once the lead male isn't entirely a jerk. However the lead female is still a cliche being weak and a pushover. I hope that changes. But it was funny and sweet and romantic, I'll keep watching.

I did enjoy this episode too, really funny and still confusing with some points, but still it's great.

I feel that now, finally have the story, the actually real story begin.

Their hair it's cut off,the new Tae Yong, a new love, a new revenge and a lot of money. :) I really like it, the three servants is still the best, well they make the whole drama!

I'm convinced! (contains spoiler)

Okay, so after watching the second episode I've decided to continue watching this drama.

This episode was definitely better than the first one!

There were some action scene which I really liked. Also the topic of this episode was a good choice. Don't misunderstand me! It's a good choice because it's a problem we're dealing with as well. People use other peoples weaknesses to get to them. So it's not a topic where you think "Don't have to care about that. This would never happen.".

And this time there was just one scene I didn't quite understand:

Yi On and her partner arrive at the home of a suspect. The suspect opens the door, sees them and tries to close it again but Yi On's partner manages to reach into the apartment. Yi On, instead of helping to open the door, remains silent and is just standing there, watching her partner struggle. She behaves like a rookie who doesn't know what to do instead of someone who is already working for the police for some time ...



Anyway, except for this one scene this episode was great!
