How to lessen the pain in your chest, Tae Hee-style:
1. Let out a scream like nobody's business.
2. Drink shot glass after shot glass of soju.
3. Plead with halmoni like your life depended on it.
A couple of episodes ago I've kept quiet about the whole contradiction~~because I was looking at it from all their angles. I most certainly can understand Halmoni and Chang Sik Ahjusshi's feelings.
Although recently Chang Sik Ahjusshi's line of thinking doesn't make sense to me. Baek In Ho clearly wanted to make it right, even suggesting that they take it to court but Ahjusshi's mind is closed that he wants to make the man carry his guilt for the rest of his life.
Seeing Ja Eun and Tae Hee suffer is so unfair.
Elsewhere--I'd like to say: I am for Mi Suk unnie than Cha Soo Young--this spoiled brat!

My heart is aching. :( You can see Ja Eun struggling with her feelings. She feels so numb about Ahjumma's betrayal and her words give you more than a piece of her mind. Every bit of her emotions lay on top of the other and yet, in the end, a teeny tiny part of her longs for her ahjumma.
I am glad Guk Su's existence is finally made known to the elders though I'm not in the least bit satisfied HOW it was done. Tae Shik is just so lame, and I don't think I can tolerate how indecisive he is anymore nor the way he is so antagonistic towards the child. Ahjusshi-rang should beat him up real good!
Elsewhere, Soo Young and Tae Bum finally get some bonding moments. I hope to see more in the future. And Tae Hee is finally able to confess his feelings. How is she going to react--omo, I need to see the next episode!

I love how this episode turned out even if the preview showed blech.
Lee Gak takes the helm here, and I appreciate how there are both advances in the mystery and our Gak-Ha love story.
Lee Gak tries to be the responsible gentleman for Bak Ha now that he is fully aware of her feelings for him. I got a heartache when he told her not to like her, no matter how you do it, it just hurts. :(
He now has two things weighing on his shoulders, one is the responsibility to solve the Princess' mystery in order for him and his men to safely get back to their time and the second is how he is becoming increasingly aware of his own feelings for Bak Ha. Lee Gak taking the sprouting lotus seed out of the aquarium and planting it on a pot is loaded with that meaning.
[Se Na and Tae Mu scenes are toned down to tolerable and finally, the cellphone clue is cracked. Se Na wanting to get married right away--why am I not surprised? Lee Gak says 'gomawo' and Se Na shakes hands with him--gee what a nice business proposal!?]
Ahh but Lee Gak cannot deny his own feelings! Even if he dares not to come close, he can't help but care for her.
The moment he ran out of that conference room to save her in burning warehouse, I knew: Lee Gak loves her. No doubt.

What I appreciate about Rooftop Prince is how well it's written. You get parts of mysteries and clues popping at one side and then romance and character development at the other. And somewhere in between there are still lots of time where humor is well incorporated. :)
Episode 5 manages to deliver all in the right doses. Not too sweet not too hilarious while not being melodramatic either.
It's understandable why Lee Gak thinks he is Tae Yong's reincarnation since this is convenient for him to get closer to his Sejabin's reincarnation (Se Na). Park Ha is already falling for Lee Gak and so is he for her--although he's not aware of it yet. (Why else would he go to her rooftop apartment after his haircut, buy a billboard of palm trees on a beach, AND chase after her in a truck?)
On a down-side, I got tired of Se Na saying her lines for the last two episodes--isn't there anything else she can say except for "Go to America"? Well at least they didn't drink coffee! They've been high on caffeine since Ep 2 every time they went out to have a talk with Bak Ha. Now it's water being splashed on her face! -_-#

It's a good thing they brought the question to the fore: Can a person with Savant syndrome and an autistic one at that perform surgery in extreme emergency cases?
The conflicts among multiple characters have started but all of them seem to pile up against Park Si On.
Although I understand there are procedures/policies and rules to follow regarding which doctors take care of which patients, which dept. takes care of which patient, the bureaucracy in the hospital, the machinations covering directors pitting against each other, I am a bit disappointed Prof. Kim Do Han took to punching Si On after the successful surgery. Doc, you know you're better than that. C'mon.

That awkward moment when Taeja Cheonha spaces out on a council meeting and a minister mistakenly thinks he has offended him.
* * *
That moment when Solnan turns down Manggu's invitation to a get-to-know-you-better party and he blurts out, 'It's not over 'til it's over.' Uh-huh.
* * *
That moment when you actually relate to Kangbok where you either freeze to death or get sick at the two love birds' sweetness! XD
* * *
That moment when Kuchon has a mini-me following him around and he's bursting with cuteness. Aigoomoni, those dimples!
* * *
And that moment when the King wants to separate his son from his fake daughter because they're developing feelings for each other.

Myongnong is not your typical dashing prince who saves damsels in distress. Even in his confession, he says, he has always been timid; he was not the type who would confidently say his feelings outright...that he was in awe of her, an admiration that he awkwardly accepted and made him genuinely happy.
So to finally hear him say 'Saranghanda,' to a person whom he was trying to save from sleeping in the cold, to see him kiss her in a gentle way, is to feel like an inner warmth spreading throughout your body and filling it with a tingling sensation to the roots of your hair.

This episode has the best cliffhanger so far!
We've all been waiting for Si On to truly take the spotlight, so now here we go. I love how this episode tied up its ends, with the tiny details connecting to each other.
Si On's trauma and memories has resurfaced when his abusive father reappeared but then it has put his savant skill on temporary block.
Do Han, of all people, stood out and went out of his way to find out how Si On can be helped to get his ability back. In his own gruff way, KDH encourages Si On to overcome it and save the patient from dying (what Si On fears the most).
The girl with the blind father--never saw it coming. I thought her story ended when she told Si On how she helps her father. Oh, but there's more! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Heavy all the way to the middle, the episode successfully shows what happens after a surgical operation fails--in the point of view of doctors and in the point of view of the parents. At the news little girl's death, Dr. Cha was desperately in denial and still kept pumping her chest. I already felt tears well up but they only fell when she broke the shattering news to the anxious parents. It was too heartbreaking. :'(
***
I think Prof KDH has already reached a point where although he's achieved a level of professionalism, he's emotionally numb. You have to give him credit for being responsible and him putting work above everything else but I cannot understand why he has to go about giving Si On a tongue-lashing every time. Or for that matter telling Si On he's a robot when he's has got more heart than Prof KDH who pushed Dr. Cha to perform another operation so soon after her failed one. (Oh, I know it's for her own good so she can learn and get over it because she'll be handling more operations blah blah!)
***
Developments are in order--good and bad. With the re-introduction of Si On's mom, I'll expect more of that and less of Dr. Go--jebal! The cliffhanger this time is really interesting~! Looking forward to watching it tonight!

This show is giving me what I want and then some.
The result of the trial was half-expected and the fact that the perpetrator is still out there isn't surprising at all.
What did surprise me was the admittance of a noona liking her dongsaeng THAT way--which she has come to realize that she felt it so strongly to deny and push it away. Poor chap, that Lawyer Cha. But don't worry, you're still one heck of a lawyer.
Lee Jong Suk, spell 'puppy eyes.' :) Come on, show, what else do you have in store for me?

Hello, it jumped!
What are they not telling us? Did they check the fingerprints on the severed left hand to undoubtedly conclude it is Min Joon Gook's? If the severed hand is the only body part that surfaced, it suggests that the person is probably chopped up and dead, but a tiny part can also suggest that he might be walking around with just one hand--or prolly two if the leftie was from another person.
And of course evidence like text msgs and calls from the cellphone, confession notebook and the murder weapon so conveniently placed near the scene of the crime--they all spell 'planted'.
Oh but really? Amnesia and minus his powers?

Ahahahaha! XD Wanna know Anthony Kim's real name?
Kimchi halte Kim
Bongro halte Bong
Daldeongee halte DaRl
Her laugh was so infectious I couldn't help myself! Go Eun really did seem to have a good time making fun of Anthony~!
I'm sure you were paying attention at the last few episodes' hints at the romance. And while the problems fold themselves one after the other, the romance steps to the fore. And Anthony Kim, ani--Kim Bong Dal-sshi--takes the initiative!

Tae Shik finally takes of the remaining cover off his eyes and mans up to tell Hye Jin she does not compare to his son. Bravo! This is long overdue, and Guk Su deserves all the love he can get after suffering from so much discrimination.
The hit-and-run case Tae Hee was trying to crack was a ticking time bomb. I liked the fact that even though a handful of people already knew who the culprit was, they didn't let it out, that all of them had somebody they had to protect that's why the truth was left unsaid.
Although I feel there is still a twist to the incident, I am just not yet ready to accept this sudden and difficult contradiction between Ja Eun and Tae Hee. How are they gonna handle it?

Love is not like candy you can ask for, not a thing to grovel or beg for, nor throw a tantrum at another person for when he doesn't feel the same way.
It's not something you demand from another person when your relationship hasn't matured to that point or the circumstances accumulate to your attraction to one another. You just don't earn that right.
Soo Young, I don't understand her anymore. And the melodrama is dragging the whole thing down. At every turn, Tae Bum is rejected, every effort, every try of salvaging.

Is it me or the pace just went a notch down?
After all the developments from Episode 15, I expected Episode 16 to leave us with a cliffhanger that would make us want Wednesday to come palli wa!
I mean, yeah I want to know how Lee Gak will save Bak Ha and all, but the events leading to the rescue--really? I was shaking my head.
How can a person with street-smarts like Bak Ha fall for a lame ploy that Tae Mu set up? Why ride in his car after he trespassed your home, ruined your flower garden, stalked you at the subway, and clearly is after your beloved?
Episode savers: Bak Ha discovers TY 3.0 is Lee Gak and corners him in a stairwell. On the other hand, Lee Gak finds out that Bak Ha is present at the restaurant Tae Mu and Tae Yong went to two years ago. Lee Gak haunting Tae Mu for attempted murder.
Unnecessary scene: Bak Ha meets up with Tae Mu to ask about her birth mother.(Yeaah, we all go figure.)
What's missing: Writer-nim needs to snap out of it and make use of his trio supporting characters
