Rooftop Prince / Oktabbang Wangseja

A korean drama released in 2012. 300 years ago, when crown princess was found dead, crown prince decides to find the reason. He chooses three skilled man. While they are investigating, they find themselves in today's world after 300 years. Even if they cannot understand of this new world at first but later they see that they are here for solving the murder. The house that they came after 300 years, is Han Ji Min's house. And for me the incidents start here.
 Imagine that you travelled 300 years later from your timeline. What would you do? What would you come across with? They made this together with comedy very nicely.
 From the parts after the character introduction, may contain a few spoilers. Let me warn you. By the way, Do you believe in reincarnation? You will see a lot of it in this drama.

Prince Lee Gak / Yong Tae-Yong (Park Yoochun)
 Crown prince Lee Gak. Loves reading poems and asking riddles. A good calligraphist. Knows alot about plants. Tries to find the truth behind the murder of crown princess.
 Yong Tae-Yong is the favorite grandson of an owner of a big company. But he does not want to be the head of the company. Lives in the USA and painter.

Park Ha / Hong Bu-yong (Han ji Min)



  
  There are surprises to see for Park Ha who has returned Korea from the USA after finding her father. She who lives off selling fruits and vegetables at the market place and doing waitressing is very hardworking character. At the same time she is very tenderhearted and cheerful.
 Hong Bu-yong is crown princess' sister. She embrioders well and loves to read poems.





Hong Se Na/ Hong Hwa-Yong ( Jeong Yu-Mi)




Hong Hwa-Yong is the crown princess.
Hong Se Na is Park Ha's step sister. Also she is Yong Tae-Yong's grandmother's secretary. What These two character have in common is that they are both full of greed.

Yong Tae-Mu / Prince Muchang



Yong Tae-Mu is Yong Tae-yong's cousin. He wants to be the head of the company and tries everything for it. He is Hong Se Na's boyfriend. They both can do anything to be powerful.

Song Man Bo ( Lee Min Ho) , Do Chi-San (Choi Woo-shik) and Woo Yong-sool ( Junk Suk-won)
It did not feel right to introduce these men separately. These three men are crown prince's bodyguards. They do their best to protect him.



I really had fun while watching the drama and loved the idea of travelling to 300 years later. A prince and his bodyguards suddenly finding themselves in a democratic society and trying to fit in are given really good. Especially, it made me laugh so much when prince gives orders to Park Ha and gasps at the answers he gets. Think about it, you are a prince. Everyone is under your command but suddenly you become a not so important and an ordinary person. How would you feel? At this point, I think that Park Yoochun deserves a big applause. His way of talking and his acting was excellent. He was like a real prince. Agreeing with every other person, I've never seen the evilest villain side characters like Hong Se Na and Yong Tae Mu. Usually villains may have a good side or a good reason but in here these two characters do evil things just because of jealousy and ambition for power. 

I laughed so much at four men came into today's world and found themselves in the middle of the traffic, when they went to their palace, acted weird because it was turned into a museum and got the attention that caused them to sent in jail.Funny moments like the shock when they saw the TV, instead of using knife using swords on table, prostrating themselves when they see their monarch on the money bill.
Oh and I had no idea that in that times the hair was extremely important for men. They wanted to die rather than cutting their hair. They cried while it was being cut. Details like this made the drama entertaining and engrossing. About the final, I am not sure that I am happy with it but it made me surprised. I recomment you to watch it have fun and often think "What if it was me?". These made it meaningful.

And the thing I liked the most in this drama is that they ask each other after getting used to the new world, where they want to live. The result is that living in the today's world is good but here is not their home. Their longing for their families and homes. This aproach made me think a lot. Even if I found it very strange, I said yes. Because if we would in a difficult situation, we want to be with our families, too. And we endure these situations for them and with them. In a reverse case, a person who has a easy life is supposed to be happy. However people become happy with the ones they love. With sharing and loving.

And let's move on with the bonuses:
                                       You will see a lot of these sweatsuits along the drama 

                            Do you think that the time which they disappear one by one come?
                        An these four men will eat this rice omelette without even getting sick.
     If you were to brush your teeth for the first time,would you swallow or spit the water?
                                         What if suddenly you get four handsome men?

                      What about Love?

                If you decided to watch, have fun already :)

                                                  
                                                                  OST is important :)
