Story&Acting;/Cast:
The plot of this was very interesting and the first episode will have you captivated. If not, you'll be hooked by the second one. Honestly, I started to watch because Yoochun was the lead but then I ended up falling in love with all the characters with the exception of the antagonists who I deeply hated. The actors were very believable and took on their roles extremely well. This is the type of rom-com that I've been looking for. There's the moments where you laugh so hard that you can't breathe and the intense moments where you're on the edge of your seat. The whole time I was watching this, I kept thinking "the scriptwriters are brilliant". They tied everything together so well. Oh, and I absolutely loved how they handled the antagonists. Very nice.
I'm always hesitant on saying a drama is my favorite when I'm not completely done because endings can make or break it. And usually, they tend to disappoint me. However, with Rooftop Prince, this ending is definitely a favorite. It was a good conclusion and up to your own interpretation.
Music:
Baek Ji Young's powerful voice makes the mood of whatever is going on that much more emotional. And when needed, there's Jay Park to light up the mood with "Happy Ending". I have my own Rooftop Prince playlist on my iPod and I like to listen to it occasionally. One of my favorite OSTs.
Rewatch Value:
Usually I don't rewatch dramas because I already know what has happened but I feel like I need to rewatch this to get the smaller hints, ones that I haven't noticed before.
Overall:
Seriously, go watch it and make sure to have a box of tissues when you're near the end. I don't think I have cried that hard for a drama in a long time.

Positive:
-Since I don't like dramas where every action lasts for some hours I'm very pleased with King2Hearts. Occurances and actions were held in a acceptable time and you could watch the drama without getting tired.
-The acting of the cast was absolutely great. Sometimes I did not like decisions which the characters made however the cast acted so well that I sometimes really forgot that they are just acting^^
-I really really liked the costumes and the props. Such things like the uniforms of the officers or of the royalty made the drama believeable and it also went well with the modern props
-The background music is absolutely amazing. The music supports to deliver the feelings of the persons even more and I had to cry and to laugh more than just a few times
Negative:
-For me it was quite difficult to distinguish between "an actor acting" and "an actors acts that his character acts" especially with Hang Ah (if you don't understand what I mean with this point please don't mind it)
Other:
- If you cry easily...get a pack of tissues ready because you are going to bawl your eyes out with all the crying
- The rewatch value is really high because I just re-watched it in 2015 and I really think this drama is still as good as the first time when you watch it again :D
- Overall: I think this drama is a MUSTWATCH!!!! Many may say that this is not true but I think it's not the same as many many others so its important to see something new^^
Also this is the perfect choice if you ever wanted to see an epic love story in a Kdrama because it's all about that, action scenes and drama.
(That's my first review so don't be too hard on me, please -_-)

Această recenzie poate conține spoilere
1) The reason I watched this:I was mainly attracted by the cast then the story seemed intriguing enough I just went for it without high expectations or anything.
2) Storyline/Plot:
Generally speaking the story was about royalty nowadays and north-south Korean peace process through love, pain and many other mixed feelings. The Korean nation, the king, the love realtionships, loyalty, friendship and action therefore you can say that the story got it all!
Positive points:
*The different theme: When you watch too many dramas of the same genre you would get tired of all the Korean romantic stories that share the same plot but this was unusual; script writers gave a unique story: I haven't seen anything like it before.
*The South and North Koreans never ending troubles; this existed before in some dramas like "Muyang the spy", it's not a new theme but it was greatly expressed here. Well, a non-Korean person may find himself not interested in this sort of theme but everyone ould like to watch the peace process and the two nations reunion.
*Royalty nowadays was a great background. It's true that "My princess" shared the same background but "King2Hearts" was way too interesting.
*The romance was cute but not shallow. The romantic development was always captivating especially that there's two different love stories to follow.
*The action was set up in a good way; those scenes were exciting to watch. Writers were brilliant for inserting action in this story because that genre is able to eliminate any sort of balnk moments.
*Involving other countries like China, the U.S and even Japan in the drama made the events complicated in a good way.
*Politics: it wasn't heavily present but when it existed it was well doe especially the diplomatic talks.
Negative points:
*I wouldn't say it's a negative point but I wanted the main couple's love story to go deeper since there was lack of drama in that aspect.
It's true that there were many obstacles but I felt like they got together so soon. Anyway, it wasn't bad but I wanted everything to go deeper in this drama.
*Beside that, everything was cool except something that happened near the end but it would be a spoiler if I mention it.
Story: 9.5/10
3) Acting/Cast:
*Lee Seung Ki : I've seen him in two dramas before but here he was amazingly different. At the beginning, he may sound childish but in some point he felt like a total grown up plus his character development was greatly done. I fell for his role and even his speeches were nicely spoken plus he delievered great emotions.
*Ha Ji Won: I like this actress because she have a great way in portraying her roles. Here, she was different from what I saw before. Being a couple with Lee Seung Ki may seem like a huge age gap but events didn't allow to think much about that side. Then there's her North Korean accent: that was really annoying to hear at the beginning but I got used to it as the drama went on. I specially liked her actions scenes and her convincing acting.
*Jo Jung Suk: i haven't seen him in anything before before but I fell for the character ever since his first meeting with Lee Jae Ha and everything that happened later on, he was so cool.
*Lee Yoon Ji: Special likes for the princess; I liked her character and her relationships with everyone.
*I didn't hate Jhon Mayer like I hated his stupid psycho artist Tara or whatever, I still want to kill her!! But I have to admit that they were great actors and performed their parts greatly.
*The remaining cast were awesome; thumb up to the WOC team and the queen.
*The chemistry and relationships between the cast members was cool uncluding other countries cast; it was cool to hear English, Chinese, Japanese and even French here.
* I rarely give 10's to any drama's cast or acting department but here I was deeply impressed.
Cast: 10/10
Acting: 9.5/10
4) The ending:
I really hated one event near the ending that I even considered it a negative point earlier but that doesn't deny that we had the ending that we wanted.
The ending a nice closure to a great drama.
The ending: 8.5/10
5) My impression (How did it affect me):
*I really enjoyed this drama, so much that I feel some sort of emptiness when it ended.
*I always love the unique different stories and I found that in this drama's storyline. Special likes to politics since I love it.
*The cast was amazing one of the fewest drama's cast that I genuinely loved.
*I had all sort of feelings while watching this: great impression.
My impression: 9/10
6) Overall:
*If you like watching royalty stories then you would like this.
*If you're looking for an interesting story the this is for you.
*If you like romance combined with action and politics then you would like this.
*If you like Lee Seung Ki/Ha Ji Won then you need to watch this.
Overall: 9.5/10.

It's no different from it's synposis, a clean freak-arrogant-proud-always- get- what- he- wants guy meets an untidy-impulsive-stupidly-kind hearted girl and the God of love pulled a fast one on both of them. And of course, there are characters that don't want both of them to be together. Actually the storyline might not be any difference, but the plot was well-laid.
The main characters had issues from their past, that they've lived with and they have to challenge their present, in other to be able to solve (let go) the past. Most of the characters also underwent some changes as the drama unfolds i.e they had a better and clearer perspective towards life and...... The acting and the characters were wonderfully portrayed, mixing the characters up would be impossible.
The OSTs were really good, I for one have no complaints whatsoever about the OSTs.

It has a common storyline, that I have to admit-- The Forbidden love storyline. Although the storyline is nothing new, the plot was wonderful. The plot had a twisted feel to it, the scenes weren't predictable AT ALL (....hmmm... okay some were)
Needless to say, Mizushima and Osamu Mukai keyed into their roles wonderfully, they were really perfect for the roles. The actress was okay, this is my first time seeing her in a drama, nevertheless, she acted her role well. There were a lot of cute, random and weird moments/scenes among the maidens and their butlers, these are not moments or scenes that you what to miss out on. There were a lot of face-offs between the casts, this made the drama more interesting.
It's really worth watching.

For me the highlight of the show was probably neither the revenge nor the romance but rather to parallels and storylines that crossed and tangled between the two generations. How Seon U became so much like his father, Jangil like his, and Sumi like hers was what really kept be going in this story. There were so many layers involved in all of their relationships.
Acting/Casting - I loved the whole cast. I felt they played out their characters quite nicely (especially LJH, he did an outstanding job) and for once I was quite amazed at how the older versions actually really resembled the younger versions (something that bothers me in so many other dramas when I can't connect the two ages because they look so different). My only complaint might have been that UTW did look way older than LJH which threw me off a bit at times when I had to remind myself that they are supposed to be the same age.
Music - Ha. Well. Music. Right. It was okay I guess. The first episode was nothing more than a disaster but as the show progressed it did get better and better. Still by the end, I wasn't yet convinced I was digging the music and the music queues.
Rewatch Value - Honestly, I don't think I'll ever have the desire to rewatch this from start to finish. It was interesting one time around because of the twists but honestly now that I know everything it just won't be that appealing again. I'll probably find the pace way too slow. I might go back and rewatch certain scenes that I liked (which will probably be in the first three episodes because they those episodes were honestly among my favorite...) but I'll probably never rewatch from start to finish.
Overall - 7/10. It had it's flaws, quite a few of them, but the plot and cast saved this drama from becoming unbearable. Although it felt slow at times, it was a compelling story but not one I would watch again.

My utmost congrats to the team especially the screenwriter, because succeed in twisting the plots all around and in the end you realized there's no flaws spotted from the very beginning till the end, making us believe that North Korean is passable, u also can see the strictness of the North trooper, it’s just perfect how they executed each of scene without failed. The storyline almost perfect and if you can see many foreigner extras making this drama looks like blockbuster action pack movie, using international political issues can bring sensitiveness point to the viewer sometimes, but the plots explained it well at the end of the story.
This drama is about our current living cultures, where we still experienced it nowadays. It is about put the families before all that matters, love without boundaries, friendship with honor and faith, uphold dignity of the nation,patriotism,integrity and teamwork, sins and forgiveness, ruthlessness with no mercy, fighting till the end and it is about HOPE and FAITH.
Ha Ji Won as Kim Hang Ah, successfully portrayed a character of a strong bold innocent young lady living in the North of Korean, as always she never disappointed us in acting and Lee Seung Ki as King Lee Jae ha also succeed in portraying the character of a funny young man, making stupid humors sometimes to hide his true feelings, can get on everyone’s nerves sometimes especially his comrades from North during WOC training, sometimes selfish but yet aware of his duty as a King of South Korea's modern monarchy. He’s the king who knows how to hide the fears in front of his enemies with his fishy smiles and arrogant behavior. But his right hand man, Eun Shi Kyung, who is always stood by him, understood and knew him well. They became ‘invisible friend’ in protecting each other.
Love story between Kim Hang Ah and Lee Jae Ha started when they're fighting and teasing at each other at the beginning later turned it to a great love after all, also between Princess Jae Shin(Jae Ha's sister)and Eun Shi Kyung, kinda awkward sweet moment for them but you will missed them for sure.
I recommended this drama as top 5 drama in 2012. Already add this drama in my top 5 list ^^. Happy watching.

And I was really surprised by the plot, because not always you can find a drama in which something happens all the time, that is why it is faaaaaar from those boring ones. Acting was also pretty good, i would even say, very good! I would definitely watch it at least one more time, because there are always things you can omit while watching for the first time, but you can pay more attention to them when you return.
I recommend everyone to watch it and enjoy it as much as i did. :*

I started watching K-dramas two years ago and this being my very first maiden drama review on this site speaks volume about "Rooftop Prince" and the impression it has left on me. Three days had passed since I completed the show and the touching scenes within the show kept flashing in my mind even when I am writing this review.Story:
At the beginning, it seems to have the making to be just a pure comedy given the ridiculous time travel element and yes, the first few episodes were very light hearted but they did a superb job in introducing the bigger scheme of things to come as well as set the stage for an epic romance between Lee Gak/Tae Yong and Park Ha that transcend the test of time and space. There were lots of heart-warming as well as heart-wrenching moments between those two. I witnessed my wife cried like a baby on several ocassions :)
Without revealing any potential spoilers, I personally like the last two episodes and I thought it was a beautiful and poetic way to end such a wonderful show even though it does leave you with a tinge of sadness. I think the message here is love will stand the test of time and to be together is worth celebrating no matter what may happen in the future.
Cast:
I can't find a single fault with any of the actors and actresses. They were totally into their roles. I like Mickey ever since I watched him in Sungkunkwan Scandal and I thought he was already very good then. In this show, he more than better his own performance. As for Han Ji Min, well, what can I say, this is the first time I ever watched her and I am already a fully converted fan of her after this show. Everytime she cries, she has the ability to make you feel really sad for Park Ha. I am already planning to watch her Padam Padam and Yi San after this show.
Music:
The OST for this drama is simply stunning especially the main theme song (not the funny one but the sad one, those who watched the show will know which one I am referring to). The lyrics brought out the essence of the entire show perfectly. If you listen to the song together with the lyrics especially during those heart-wrenching moments, it does makes u feel like crying.
Rewatch Value:
Usually I won't rewatch dramas because you already know the plot but this is one which I will definitely rewatch again within the next 3 months. It was that good!

Queen In Hyun's Man

1) great chemistry between leads. ji hyun woo and yoo in na are PERFECT. not short of kissing scenes or cute scenes, yet not cheesy at all. no 2nd lead syndrome here.
2) ridiculously funny. especially since ji hyun woo's character's from the joseon period and doesn't know how to do many things e.g fastening a seatbelt, which leads to many laughable antics...
3) the seamless transition between the joseon period and 2012 modern korea made it easy to watch. very understandable, maybe except the first episode, but dont let that deter you from watching!!
4) unexpected! a few middle finger-pointing scenes from the actress herself. HAHAHA
please give it more love, it isn't very popular since it's a cable drama, but it's reallyyyy worth it! ?

Like my Momma always said, "u can't have ur cake & ice cream too." It means that u don't always get what u want & this drama is a prime example.
Drama is like reading a book & not all stories end happy! The more realistic the ending the better I think the drama is. Loved this 1 & will put it in my top 10.
