Rooftop Prince Episode 1
Mysterious Death of the Crown Princess
The story opens up in the Joseon era when the crown prince (Yoochun) is looking for his wife. Then, they go to the past and show the main characters younger selves in both times (Joseon era and modern times). This episode does a lot of switching between the Joseon era and Seoul (modern times). Mysteries and schemes happen in both times. The "Joseon Four" gather. The Crown Prince and his men time travel to the modern days.

Rooftop Prince Episode 1 Reacties
A very promising start! I enjoyed that this episode started off with two murders, and wonder if those killed will stay dead. Or perhaps the time travel moon will alter things . . . or . . .the possibilities are endless!
I enjoyed seeing how the past and present timelines wove stories for the people. Though I think it would be more interesting if the villains and good guys switched around for each period.
Overall this looks pretty good, except for the action sequences. I think they decided to put more effort into the time traveling scenes.
The cast is fun and so far I think the actors can definitely act. The leads are all great. Jung Yoo Mi as Hong Se Na / Hwa Yong makes a crafty villain. I'm most excited to see how the writing weaves her story. Especially as to what happens in the past. Park Yoo Chun is a convincing prince and a savvy modern dude. Han Ji Min is a new to me actress but I already love the quirky warmth she's bringing to the modern day Park Ha. Plus, she doesn't do to bad acting with her eyes when she's wearing that veil as Boo Yong from the past.
The idea that the show will probably evolve around solving the Princesses' murder is an interesting concept. Though I wonder how the Prince will solve it while in the future? It was seamless watching the two time periods work their separate stories and then merge together in the present. I'm wondering if the past will be "on hold" or if we'll see it still continuing on. With the Prince assumed dead? There are so many possibilities with this show. I can see some obvious plot threads to take, but overall I enjoy that there's many mysteries left to solve.

The first episode has already made a great impression on me as most of the historical parts were really beautiful. I liked the music as well. The two different stories/settings was unique since I haven't seen any other drama do this before (haven't watched much drama hehe)
The past of the two girls was quite sad.. The evil sister and little child played their roles VERY well. :)

Travelling into the future the prince and his 3 "right hands" are amazed of how the world has changed and that sets a veil of humor over the action.

Firstly, I didn't know this will revolve around 2 sisters, I had a completely different expectation. I hope they won't turn this into an over-the-top melodrama. And secondly, I didn't know it will have that much backstory. So there's probably some drama to expect as well later on...
I'm gonna keep on watching because I'm really curious to see the comedy everyone's talking about.

I already can't wait to see what happens next, and what new parts of the mysterious past will be revealed.
What a great start!

Well now, what a pleasant surprise! I like the parallel stories and shifts between past and present.
Yoochun was another surprise. He showed a different set of emotions I didn't see in SKKS.
EDIT: I'm moving this up the scale primarily because as the story develops, I find myself going back to Episode 1 more and more. The premises here are needed in the future.

I recently read somewhere that some people say he's not a good actor... well, if he's not good... I don't know who is...
He did GREAT in the first episode, and will do better in the future, I'm sure!
The elder sister creeps me out...

I wasn't 100% in love with this episode. I thought the Joseon era scenes were stronger than the makjang like (and not in a good way) scenes of the modern times. Although, Yoochun's acting did seem to have improved a little.
