I am totally amazed at the rating of this drama. The storyline was so simple that 8-10 episodes would have sufficed. Because the writer(s) and director had to have enough material for a 20-episode drama, there were so many "fillers," side stories, that added very little value to the main story. Yes, I finished the drama … but used the FF button on the remote a lot.

If you have not watched "Queen In Hyun's Man," I highly recommend you watch it. There is a lot more of the Mystery element in that drama than in Rooftop Prince … QIHM is a much better written and produced drama all around.

Why an 8 for the Story and only a 5 for Overall? An 8 to give the manga's author credit for an original idea and a 5 because the Delivery of a satisfying ending = nada = zip!

This drama started out with so much promise … Full Steam Ahead! First 7-8 eps were fast-paced and it seemed as if not only the Who but also the Why questions would be answered by end of show.

About 15 minutes into Ep 9, I picked up my iPad and started to play games as I watched. Before too long, the viewers could guess the Who and so most, if not all, of us continued to watch for the Why.

Then …

The Cute element in the Leads' romance no longer interested me … the Comic antics of the Investigative Team also got boring … If, IF, the writer(s) had thrown out a hint or two here and there as to the Why, I might have continued to actually watch this.

Instead, halfway through Ep 13, I went to a website to read the Recaps, hoping to find out the answers to the Why. I didn't … because the answers were just not there.

First, my apology to those who enjoyed this drama.

The drama started off well, very gripping story for about 9 episodes … from Ep 13, I started FF a lot, a lot. Over and over again I had to watch one character acting out her insanity … listen to such trite declarations of love from another … and listen to the same piece of music 2 or 3 times per episode, to the point I would hit the Mute button. The only reason I continued watching: Lee Seo-jin = superb acting and the only likable and somewhat believable character in this drama although his love story with Ji-Eun was a bit of a stretch. As for Lee Eun Joo's Ji-Eun, after a while she was … just there ... for Lee Seo-jin's Sae Hoon story.

One of the most poorly-scripted dramas in all DramaLand. (sorry)

As for Rewatch value … I wanted to give it a Zero, but not do-able here.
