No more comedy, unknowingly, time past.
Although the episode 11 of SBS Wednesday and Thursday drama series “Rooftop Prince” aired on April 25th, 2012 no longer has funny stories, but the intense plot brings the tense atmosphere which filled the whole 1-hour.
One of the advantage of “Rooftop Prince” is mystery and comedy interchanging, causing the cliffhanging theme which is funny.
If saying that the tense double mysteries is bringing headache, then the smiling debut of flowery confidant trio, coupled with the romance between Lee Gak (Park Yoochun) and Park Ha (Han Ji Min), are giving a feast to the eyes of viewers. On the other hand, with the unfolding of the story, the love in the heart and tears of Lee Gak and Park Ha are firmly grasping the heart of audience.
Meanwhile, in the last few episodes, the plot which was more concentrating in comedy rather than story has drew criticisms.
But after episode 11 was aired, all worry is dispelled. The disappearing foreshadow hint, the mobile phone, reappears. Lee Gak begins to resolve the secret of missing of Yong Tae Yong. Lee Gak investigates the person who is suspicious in the missing of Yong Tae Yong, Yong Tae Mu (Lee Tae Sung) and coerces him.
On the other hand, the gang of Crown Prince learns the reason that they time traveled 300 years to come to present, and gets the conclusion on how to return to Joseon Dynasty. The wedding of Lee Gak and Hong Se Na (Jung Yoo Mi) also quickly unfolded.
Such core events made audience unable to move away their eyes from TV. Because unwilling of part with attracted the vision. At the same time, the feelings for each others between Lee Gak and Park Ha become even deeper, unable to part with, and the sad twos unable to avoid from the love. The two persons who deliberately try to ignore also aroused the tears and pity of viewers.
But, at the end of broadcast, Park Ha rushes into the fire to save Lee Gak disregarding own safety, raising viewers’ expectation on their love line. Making the viewers unable to escape from the tense atmosphere is the unique ability of “Rooftop Prince” that resurrects the broadcast.
Viewers who watched the episode 11 praised, “The time of breathless arrived”, “Mobile phone, butterfly and other foreshadow hints began to resolve one by one, too much to shallow”, “The ‘Rooftop Prince’ who miss but meet again”, “This is the advantage of ‘Rooftop Prince’” and so on.

“advantage of “Rooftop Prince” is mystery and comedy interchanging, causing the cliffhanging theme which is funny.”
so true a 1 hour drama is like a few minutes for me LOL
plus the ending in every episodes pushed you to pull your hair and to blame the director and ask “why did you cut it” LOLOLOL
raging at the very last second of the episodes hahaha
seem like their concern is opposite of our concern we are concern because there is no laughter
¡ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
i think it was lee gak who rushed into save park ha from the fire; not the other way around. XD
You’re right, their places are changed LOL
You are soooo right. I wonder how they could make such a mistake
Yeah, translation error: Lee Gak rushed into the fire to safe Park Ha. Not the other way around.
AND its true, the drama seem too short.
Reading this review on RTP I wonder how the korean audience would take a drama like the ones we have in my country, which lasts like forever; months and months without a glimpse of solution of the leading actors’ issues and with tons of advertisements in the middle. A half an hour drama turn to be a ten minutes drama due to the excessive advertisements LOL
LOL
Double LOL. I used to watched Spanish drama that being aired at my cable. Sighhhh….. now i gave up… too long….
What about those “General Hospitals” and “Days our lives” etc that never ends for years? Y-E-A-R-S! They all grow old and their kids even become grandpas but the show never ceases.
See, I happen to love telenovelas. Yes, they are longer by a few months but they have a beginning, a middle, and and end, just like in kdramas. I love the spiciness. And to be truthful, the kisses are a way lot hotter in telenovelas! I laugh everytime I read people’s reactions to the ‘hot’ kisses on kdramas. But to each his own. Two of my personal faves — Corazon Salvajae (w/ Eduardo Paloma) and Pasion de Gavilannes (w/Mario Cimarro).
Here in the States they are shown on cable/satellite. Yes, there can be the issue of commercials, but they are not nearly as bad as broadcast TV. The way I learned to get around this — record each episode, watch at my convenience and fast forward through the commercials. Works for me everytime! 😉
And as @loveunchanged mentioned, the U.S. soaps go on adnausem. The reason I gave up on American soaps YEARS ago is that they became repetitious and the script writing is absolutely horrible! But they are the genre that started it all, so they were good for something. 😉
@BAF
You’re right, some “telenovelas” are very good, I liked “Pasión de Gavilanes” as well, in fact this is a colombian telenovela, most of the actors are colombians except for the three leading actors: Mario Cimarro (Cuban), Juan Alfonso Baptista (Venezuelan), Michel Brown (Argentinian) and the actress Lorena Meritano (also Argentinian). My baby was a little girl when Caracol aired this drama for the first time and she got caught by the story as me, although I confess sometimes I got bored because the producers use to make very long lasting key scenes. Usually, the dramas use to air their chapters weekly from monday to friday. And I agree about the kisses; no no no. We need more passion in the k-drama kisses. THIS is what we call a kiss:
right now watching rooftop prince, i feel that 1 hr. is so short…. but i’m so happy right now because leegak is now finally showing his love for park ha. i just notice while watching ep. 12 leegak and park ha are crying. it’s as if leegak wants to tell park ha that he wants to love her but he has to do what he think is the right thing to do. sad but yet romantic kiss. I LOVE ROOFTOP PRINCE. ROOFTOP PRINCE FIGHTING.
this article is a thing good or bad?
