Actor Park Yoochun will be returning to the screen as a crown prince.
Park Yoochun is slated to be returning on the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Rooftop Prince’ as crown prince Lee Gak. It is his second attempt at historical drama after KBS’s ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’.
However there are several differences with ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’. In ‘Rooftop Prince’, as he is the crown prince who time-travelled to the modern days, the ratio of modern drama versus historical drama is 7:3. It is a modern day drama fusion with gist of historical drama.
However Park Yoochun’s acting and way of speaking will be leaning towards a historical drama as the character Lee Gak that Park Yoochun is enacting is a crown prince who could not adapt to the current times. ‘Rooftop Prince”s interesting tidbits would originate from the outlooks of Park Yoochun, who is sensitive and yet unable to accustom to changes.
Due to such settings, Park Yoochun’s character is different from the character in the usual romance-comedy. Contrary to romance-comedy where the male and female leads would act comically, Park Yoochun will present a sincere look from the start, which is similar to Lee Sun Joon in ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’.
Through the introduction by Park Yoochun’s representative company C-JeS, “Lee Gak is a character who has a strong sense of sincerity, however the surrounding situations would made Park Yoochun looked comically funny. The looks of crown prince eating ramyun etc, would made the audience laugh.”
They emphasized, “Although Lee Sun Joon and Lee Gak have a similar side, compared to Lee Sun Joon who is caught in a midst of a political battle, Lee Gak has his nonsensical humane side. The later half of the drama has plans to display the charismatic side, showing the various looks of Park Yoochun.”
‘Rooftop Prince’ is a romance-comedy about crown prince Lee Gak who time-travelled 300 years to modern Seoul and fell in love. This is a collaboration of Park Yoochun with Han Ji Min, Lee Tae Sung, Jung Eun Mi, Jung Suk Won and Lee Minho etc.
Additionally, Park Yoochun will be flying to Chile on the 5th right after the production press conference of ‘Rooftop Prince’. After the meeting up with the rest of JYJ, they would be the first Korean artistes to hold a standalone concert over there.

With "SungKyunKwan Scandal" coming to an end soon, the fans of the drama in Korea are now requesting for a director's cut DVD to be released. At present, there are plans to release the DVD as a normal version or a premium version where only the 20 episodes that have been aired will be included, plus some possible extras (probably no subtitles).

As it usually is in Korea, a Daum cafe has been set up for Korean fans to express their interest in buying the director's cut DVD if it was to become available. Fans leave their name and contact details - like a petition. At the moment, Korean fans have collected about 1,000 names or so already.

However, after a meeting between the Daum cafe administrators and the production company today, the latter has requested at least 3000 names for them to even consider making a director's cut DVD. If we don't gather enough people, there will be NO CHANCE for that DVD to be released. Therefore, we're trying to compile the names of people overseas who would be interested to buy.
