I watched this while it was airing, i went totally apesh*t over this drama because it tortured the soul with the end of each episode LOL

Anyways, i think that this drama overall is one of the better ones in 2012, and it was drowned out with bad luck, because well, about 10 other dramas with the same genre came out that year. But Rooftop Prince was the first one of 2012 to come up with a time-travelling comedy-romance-mystery genre. The writing was fairly good and unique, with all the ancient riddles and things like that.

Rooftop Prince is also HILARIOUS. I mean if you put a bunch of saeguk palace men into the year 2012, the comedy and totally hilarious moments are just expected. The characters were all so lovable (at least the protagonists) but on the other hand, the antagonists are the exact opposite 180 degrees like, oh man. Though the antagonists can be freaking crazy bitches do not be discouraged because trust me, the drama really satisfies the audience. The drama has a balance of funny and serious, which is one thing i really like about this drama.

I like that there is no bad and stiff acting because that's what i hate the most. All the characters are portrayed very well and it's a nice transformation for Yoochun from Sungkyunkwan Scandal to this. He was so cute and his three other followers were adorkable as well :3
Han Ji Min(Park Ha) pulled it off pretty well too, her acting was definitely not bad, but not extremely amazing. The main bad bitch on the other hand(Sena), i have to give it up for her she was amazing even if i hated her so much (probably the most i've ever hated an antagonist in a drama)

The music is pretty fulfilling, because i'm assuming that a lot of kdrama watchers like kpop, and Jay Park sings an OST here that is used a lot. Baek Ji Young also sang a really nice song for the OST and i wish Yoochun did a male version of it too haha

If you are looking for a drama that is romantic, cute, and extremely hilarious, then i recommend this to you. It even has a mystery added onto it that will keep you at the edge of your toes :o Mind that this drama has a makjang side to it i personally don't mind it, but others do. This drama gets REALLY addicting. I warned you.

Right.. So this is my first review here. And I haven't written any reviews on anything in years (9-10 years), I use to be really good at it but now I'm probably below decent. I'm mainly writing it cause I was bored and I just finished this show.

I started watching this show because I was running out of shows to pass time with. It's a good show, and from my experience pretty realistic. (By experience I don't technically mean myself. But more from watching and talking with other people and such.)

The show goes on in a way that doesn't leave any "Oooh I wonder what'll happen now." or "Why did that happen?" kinda moments. You know more or less whats going to happen all the time because the story goes slowly and tells you whats going on with most of them at all times.

The 3 oldest Hye Yoons mother and Jung Hoons mother were both really unreasonable. Although Hye Yoons mother wasn't so much in the last few episodes. Jung Hoons mother on the other hand was so bad in the last few episodes that I would have felt bad for her husband if I was capable of feeling bad for anyone that is. How she meant he had to either take her side or stay out of it like he wasn't entitled to his own opinion and how she treated Hye Yoons mom made her the most dislike-able character to me.

The main couple were really cool at the start (couple cool, not cool cool not sure if you know what I mean...) but as the show went on I completely lost interest in them.

I liked Dong Bis character a lot. I wouldn't watch the whole show again but all the parts with her I probably will. Her father was.. Lets just say if his wife didn't/doesn't cheat on him it's a miracle (unless shes dead.. Or left him. I don't remember if they even mentioned anything about her mother).

At the start I though Ki Joon was a complete jerk. Although in the last episode the scene outside his restaurant, I pretty much fell in love with him.

I didn't like the ending. At all. Too much missing between the last 2 scenes. And I don't see how it's Deul Jas' responsibility to take raise/take care of the child.

Oh. And Sang Jin (lawyer and Hye Yoons ex) was hilarious.

This drama was epic! The timeline, characters, locations, sets, costumes, special effects, everything. Myth, legend and history rolled up into one awesome package. Clearly, this drama had a huge budget. The main thread of the story is to get the prehistoric mythology of the origins of Korea to line up in the end with the historical figure of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo. To do this requires much help from supernatural forces, most especially from the Four Gods from Heaven said to reanimate for the true Joo Shin King. Fine, just go along for the ride. If you want a big romantic payoff in the end and that’s the reason you’re watching, then you’ll most likely be disappointed. There will be no sullying the purity of historical figures, thank you very much. You’ll recognize many veteran actors, as well as newer faces (in 2007), so the performances were, of course, superb. The story had enough characters of all types to allow for lighter moments and comedy as well. The leader of the Hwacheon Clan was very entertaining to watch, nearly stealing every scene he was in. I believe this compelling drama is a must-see.

I adore this drama. When i first heard about it I was a bit torn about whether to watch it or not. A human falling in love with a robot? No thankyou. However, I'm so glad I did!

The plot might seem silly but its actually really good and heart warming. Its about teaching someone how to love. Even though the plot is a bit far fetched its still believable and thats one of the main things I love.

The acting is good, however I've never been a huge fan of Hayami Mokomichi and find his acting a bit lacking. I will admit I was biased and mostly watched this for Mizushima Hiro.

This is the drama that got me into dramas!
Being a huge fan of the anime Ouran already had my heart so my review is most likely biased.

The cast is great, I love Yamamoto Yusuke in anything though. I think the cast really portrayed the characters gestures and mannerisms well, although it took some getting used to.
I watched the first episode and wasn't a huge fan (I mean whats up with Honey randomly shrinking!?) but i'm so glad I preserved- It gets alot better.
I love the music, Miwa is one of my favorites so its always fun to hear her song at the end.

Its super compressed into just 11 episodes, there's a lot more they could have done, but what they have done is great, very light hearted and fun.

I was weary about watching this because I am a huge fan of the original but this is great.
The first episode is an obvious copy, but after the second and third eps you start to see a few big differences, if anything this remake is ALOT more like the Twain version. Its more faithful to the Manga which I love.
The cast is great, I do prefer the original cast though. Miura Shohei is my favourite from this cast, hes great and very funny.
I preferred the ending to this version more so than the others. Anyone who hasn't seen the original will defiantly enjoy this, if you have seen the original try not to compare the two and you'll love it!

I think everyone who is a fan of Hana Kimi should give this a go. Don't knock it till you've tried it!

When I first heard of Can We Get Married, the synopsis didn't appeal to me, but then I found out Sung Joon & Jung So Min were in it so I decided to give the first Ep. a try…

Story: There isn't really an exciting plot so if that’s what your looking for don’t even bother. Instead, you’ll find a realistic portrayal of what couples in different stages of their relationship go through ie. engagement/planning wedding, marriage on the rocks/divorce, long term relationship/commitment problems. I loved the ending so much because each couple got their ending that suited them (not everyone reconciles or marries).

Acting/Cast: If this wasn't casted the way it was, I don’t think I would have been as obsessed with this show. All the actors (Main & supporting) portrayed their roles perfectly making their character seem like they could be a real person living out their situations. There are some characters that might seem annoying like the girls’ mom and JSM’s character but if you come to accept who they are you’ll find them likable in their own way. The thing that made the casting so perfect is the chemistry. The chemistry between the all the families was perfect, each family felt like they were related in real life, not just acting. Each couple had amazing chemistry that made you root for them. There are so many characters in this drama and I loved each one because even smaller characters got their time to shine. Oh and what makes them so interesting is most of the characters in this drama are flawed like you wont believe which is something you don’t see in Korean dramas.

Music: Not anything to get excited over but it did fit the drama well.

Rewatch: I already want to watch this again because I miss the characters and also the pacing is so well done its easy to rewatch over and over again.

Overall Can We Get Married is one of those realistic dramas with flawed but interesting characters that will make you root for them.

Story

Rooftop Prince promises a new breed of storyline, which it manages to pull-off until the end. Rooftop Prince started kinda slow for me, but it finally started to get its business going upon reaching Episode 7, from which, it manages to make the best roller coaster ride until the finale. Though it kinda felt that the last episodes were rushed, the last few episodes won't fail to surprise the drama fans in us.

It's a good thing, RP is a story-driven drama. It does not care if a well-loved character must die, as long as it fits perfectly to the story.

Acting/Cast
The whole cast was phenomenal. The villains are wickedly evil and keeps getting evil as the story progresses. At first, I see no chemistry for the 2 main leads, which actually bothered me from the start. But as their love story unfolds, loving them is not an option anymore.

Music- The music was good.Though, there were some scenes that could have used some music, but all you hear is NOTHING. Still, Rooftop Prince's music is sure to be a song in everyone's ear.

Rewatch Value- After watching the finale, I don't think I would be able to see it again. One of the reasons why I watch the next episode of this drama is because of the cliffhangers and the different mysteries it post at the end of each episode. Upon figuring out everything, there is no reason to rewatch anything. Besides, there are more scenes that are heart breaking than heart-tickling.

i really enjoyed this for the 1st six or seven episodes, i had my doubts in the middle and toward the end i began suspecting that none of the things keeping me watching this show were ever going to amount to anything really great.

the main couple never held much interest for me, even Sung Joon, who i've liked in other shows left me less than impressed. his character was sweet and likeable but in a very bland, going through the motions sort of way.the character of Hae Young never quite managed to grab my sympathy and they didnt have much chemistry.

the other three couples started out great but though they had a great deal more potential than the main characters, it never really amounted to much. these story lines were tidied up in a very bland way.

as for the mothers, i understood where they were trying to go with Hae young's mom, but Mrs. Ha completely baffled me. i could tell they wanted you to like her a feel a little sympathy for her, and maybe if you're korean you do, but i found her character to be completely contemptable. though the writer does get points for not going the usual Evil Omma route, this character was even less likable because she was so much more realistic than a shrieking banshee ahjumma.

at the end i was left scratching my head thinking if they had spent less time on hae young being a orange lipped brat they'd have had more time to end everyhting else in a more satisfying way.

This is the BEST drama i have ever seen.
It's not like the ordinary girl meets guy drama that we have A LOT nowadays. This is MUCH more!
What i love the most about this drama is how it's so realistic!
The fusion of the acting and the OST's and story is just a heart breaker, and makes every episode a tear-jerker.
i don't know any other way to describe the drama. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT YOURSELF.
at first i hesitated to watch 'the innocent man' because i don't normally like melodramas but out of no reason i started the first few episodes and i got hooked right away.
i regret watching 'the innocent man'. :') because it was SOOO painful when it ended. felt like a part of my heart was torn apart.

Just finished watching this drama and i must say that it was one of my favourites. It had an amazing chemistry and a plot. The cast's acting was really strong and each of them really played their role perfectly. The main reason why i must recommened this drama to all the readers is because this drama not only has the perfect taste of romance but has a turn and twist in each and every episode. At first i was a bit bored and there was a time i even wanted to drop it that was uptil episode 5. It was mainly because i felt the chemistry wasnt boiling up and it was all about their childhood but then i realize if the drama didnt have those 5 first episodes the whole plot would have turned into a disaster. I would like to salute the cast's acting skills starting from the youngest actors to the eldest. 30 episodes were necessary for this so those who are freaking out seeing the quantity i assure you, that the quality would cover up the quantity and it really is a must watch. The ending was very cute and this drama kept my curiousity alive till the very last moment. You can watch it in dramacrazy.net for those who cant access viki due to regional issues. Thank you, i hope this review has encouraged you to watch this wonderful drama.
