Actor Park Yoochun will be returning to the screen as crown prince.
Park Yoochun is slated to be returning on the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Rooftop Prince’ as crown prince Lee Gak. It is his second attempt at historical drama after KBS’s ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’.
However there are several differences with ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’. In ‘Rooftop Prince’, as he is the crown prince who time-travelled to the modern days, the ratio of modern drama versus historical drama is 7:3. It is a modern day drama fusion with gist of historical drama.
However Park Yoochun’s acting and way of speaking will be leaning towards a historical drama as the character Lee Gak that Park Yoochun is enacting is a crown prince who could not adapt to the current times. ‘Rooftop Prince”s interesting tidbits would originate from the outlooks of Park Yoochun, who is sensitive and yet unable to accustom to changes.
Due to such settings, Park Yoochun’s character is different from the character in the usual romance-comedy. Contrary to romance-comedy where the male and female leads would act comically, Park Yoochun will present a sincere look from the start, which is similar to Lee Sun Joon in ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’.
Through the introduction by Park Yoochun’s representative company C-JeS, “Lee Gak is a character who has a strong sense of sincerity, however the surrounding situations would made Park Yoochun looked comically funny. The looks of crown prince eating ramyun etc, would made the audience laugh.”
They emphasized, “Although Lee Sun Joon and Lee Gak have a similar side, compared to Lee Sun Joon who is caught in a midst of a political battle, Lee Gak has his nonsensical humane side. The later half of the drama has plans to display the charismatic side, showing the various looks of Park Yoochun.”
‘Rooftop Prince’ is a romance-comedy about crown prince Lee Gak who time-travelled 300 years to modern Seoul and fell in love. This is a collaboration of Park Yoochun with Han Ji Min, Lee Tae Sung, Jung Eun Mi, Jung Suk Won and Lee Minho etc.
Additionally, Park Yoochun will be flying to Chile on the 5th right after the production press conference of ‘Rooftop Prince’. After the meeting up with the rest of JYJ, they would be the first Korean artistes to hold a standalone concert over there.

I think Chunnie will do even better in RP. And Prince Lee Gak has to be into 2 different world. Challenging character!
Hwaiting Chunnie!
i thought the same 😀
I second that @jaeismine & @nomusicnolife.
Very challenging. I always like Yoochunnie in SKKS but I am so looking forward him in RP. I know Jaejoong-shi dong saeng will shine in this drama. 🙂
God I hope Dramafever subs & shows RP as it airs!
agree with u…hope someone will eng sub the RP in an hr after the show….please help ur fellow JYJ fanatics…thanks.
I hope so too, DF have good quality eng sub’ed dramas.
or paging SBS..did u hear us..shows RP with sub in different languages…thanks..
fly also today to Chile??? Fighting Chunnie!! Donr wear the tracksuit in the airport.. XD
Lols even the situation of lee gak already too amusing!!,
Hope this drama will catch and become national drama too
omo!.. are they traveling this 5th to SA?? waaaaaaa
Yeah..they will travel to Chile today 🙂 Look forward for their awesome airport fashion *clapclapclap*. they will rule the..airport runaway. 🙂
More and more, this drama is sounding out to be a pretty damn hilarious/epic drama. I just can’t get out of my head the images of crown prince Lee Gaks reactions to modern day korea..tooo funny. Also I like how it won’t be a typical rom/com since Yoochuns character will be a little bit stilted and awkward in the beginning but gradually Lee Gak will adapt and come out of his shell. This should be an interesting drama too watch, I am excited ^^
But for now we have our JYJ boys at the SA concert to look forward to…hope there are good fan cams >.<
If SKKS is already so awesome, I just can’t imagine how RTP will be! Pray it’ll be as awesome or even better than SKKS.. *cross fingers*
And they’re already on their way to Chile? Aaawww… I’m gonna miss breathing in the same air as them in this part of the world! >.<
Oooooh Rooftop Prince sounds epic already. Looking forward to it so much! I hope someone will sub it in the shortest time possible, hehehe. I’m sure that Yoochun will do well in RP, especially since he’s talented in showing different expressions and feelings.
They’re travelling to Chile today? Hope that our boys will take care and have fun! JYJ fighting~
For me : Transformation of Yoochun is from Yoochun’s SM to Yoochun’s CJes, from Yoochun’s TVXQ to Yoochun’s JYJ
but he is still in one person Yoochun’s DBSK. Yoochun’s Cassiopeia. Yoochun’s 4 other members.
I’m not a fan but I’m always excited about their new activity. Sorry. JYJ+TVXQ=DBSk (i always create this)
