Ah, what a shift in awareness and a realignment of expectation can do for drama looking amusement. whilst a few dramas just objectively suck or rock, a few straddle that nebulous location wherein delight may be derived so long as what the viewer needs coincides with what the drama delivers. I still stand via my first influence that episode 1 of Rooftop Prince was quite dull – choppy, ridiculously written evil second leads, and a fashionable disjointedness within the complete time out. however thankfully for me, episode 2 of RP controlled to win me over with the aid of a surplus of Joseon time-traveller antics in contemporary Seoul. If I take RP as a situational comedy, then it works.
I nevertheless locate the overarching tale no longer very compelling because the villains are sketched in such severe strokes, but if I speedy-forward their scenes, then a drama solely approximately 4 time-journeying Joseon boys is fascinating, hilarious, and achieved simply proper. considering that actually nothing occurred in episode 2 beyond the Joseon 4 accepting they’ve time-traveled after which settling into their new tune-appropriate existence, i discovered the hour simply breezed proper by using and that i had a smile on my face the entire time. I don’t have the need to recap RP, however this will be a top notch drama to show off scenes here and there alongside the way that surely out to be memorialized.
The directing continues to be quite plenty hack task and the modifying, although higher than episode 1, nevertheless needs to calm the heck down. The tune has gotten higher, and without the herky jerky cuts between the existing and past that marred episode 1, we finally have a better experience of the primary characters personalities and behaviors. I must confess that the affection story or the OTP does not anything for me in this drama. destiny doesn’t mean jack until there is plausible “love” to develop between the meant fans (which changed into MoonSun’s foremost weak spot for me), and so far I don’t feel it. What I do love is the friendship, the loyalty, the camaraderie, and the bickering between the Joseon four, plus Park Ha brought to the mix more and more. Episode 2 changed into all that, and boy did it fulfill the goofball in me who loves a pleasant behavioral driven skit complete of humorous moments
Episode 2 fun times ahead:
Plucky Park Ha confronts the intruders in her home, 4 unusual men dressed like they're filming a sageuk drama.
The pow wow moves outdoor to the roof, wherein Prince discovers that he’s seeing the night time view of Seoul. truly he’s not in Hanyang anymore. in which’s his Toto while you need him? Park Ha wonders obviously if her intruders are less of the violent variety and more of the crazy persuasion. Prince asks if that is the land of the residing or the lifeless?
once Park Ha asks if she will be able to take them from whence they came, the Joseon four huddle to speak about their options. Smarty pants man Bo indicates they get back to the Palace first and maybe it's going to remedy this odd scenario they discover themselves in. Prince orders the “demon” that is Park Ha to allow them to back to the Palace and he or she will not be harmed. Eunuch Chi San adorably pronounces out loud that his highness the Crown Prince is returning to the Palace.
Operation: Hitch a experience to the Palace in Park Ha’s select up truck, whole with gaping at the surroundings whipping by using.
Park Ha drops off her shipment of weird four guys and offers them a pep talk approximately working tough as extras for a sageuk, and that they need to pass domestic now.
The Joseon 4 stand outdoor the locked gates of the Palace, with eunuch Chi San saying that his royal highness Prince Lee Gak is here and demands immediately front.
certainly they are loud and disturbing and someone calls the law enforcement officials. The officer shines his high beam on them and orders the extras from the lately filming sageuk to depart because the filming has wrapped.
The befuddled Joseon 4 have no desire but to slink away, with poor Chi San biting it on his way down the stairs.
The hapless Joseon 4 wander their way into the middle of Seoul traffic, with the aggravated motorists beeping and cursing at them. they're cut up up when trying to avoid the oncoming automobiles.
It starts offevolved to rain and Prince reveals himself seeking safe haven below the awning of a convenience save. He sees two faculty girls ingesting ramyum and he’s so hungry he gapes at them.
He goes interior and orders the benefit keep cashier supply him a bowl of that identical food the ones women were eating, and he’ll pay her later. She calls the law enforcement officials on him.
It happens to be the same officer who shoo’d them faraway from the Palace gates, and he’s got the relaxation of the Joseon four inside the back of his police vehicle.
Our Joseon 4 discover themselves in lock up, and they could’t be released until a guarantor comes for them.
The best character they recognise on this atypical international is that female with the frying pan. man Bo realizes she’s their own hope.
Thank god guy Bo has a photographic reminiscence, and he turned into able to memorize visually Park Ha’s registration code quantity, and he paints it for the police.
Park Ha comes again from working to discover the 4 bizarre dudes were brought returned to her courtesy of the police.
She doesn’t want whatever to do with them, however man Bo preys on her type heart as he shows her negative Chi San, who has fainted from hunger.
Park Ha makes omurice for the Joseon 4, whole with a squiggle of ketchup on pinnacle.
they're starving and devour their meals, niceties and etiquette bedamned.
young Sul tries to open a bottle of water by using the use of brute energy to drag on the cap. It’s these little fish-out-of-water touches at some point of this episode that were simply splendidly completed.
The tv gets by chance grew to become on during the water bottle open endeavor, and Bow: The final Arrow shows up at the sc reen. The flying arrow freaks out the Joseon 4, with younger Sul grabbing his sword and attacking the television.
A negative teddy bear even gets sliced and diced all through the kerfluffle.
the men by accident begin a fire and Park Ha comes walking in from outside and grabs the fireplace extinguisher and shall we it unfastened.
She gives the men a properly-merited lecture. Prince doesn’t like being lectured to as being shameless and using her and then leaving. He reluctantly asks her what she wants them to do. First she makes them give her all their Joseon clothes and she stashes it on the drycleaner ahjusshi. She makes a connection with the fairy and the woodcutter folktale, where the woodcutter stole the fairy’s fairyclothes and he or she couldn’t return to Heaven.
Time for the obligatory make over! Or make beneath, in this situation, cuz going from royal and professional Joseon clothing into polyester tune fits isn't always precisely tickling the style experience.
Park Ha assessments out her creations. looking good.
but not yet entire. She suggests Prince and his retinue how to put the of entirety on a song match, i.e. zip it up all the manner to the chin.
Oooh exceptional, first cute moment among the OTP, courtesy of a music in shape zipper.
Park Ha supervises as the other three zip up as properly. Voila, all carried out!
but it’s no longer time to rest, no matter the implication of placing on a tune fit. Park Ha has the Joseon 4 go to the marketplace along with her to help together with her deliveries. today the item is cabbage.
The evil duo, who are evil one by one but no longer together, proportion a non-evil meal together. i've to say that earlier, Park Ha went to deliver meals to Se Na’s rental and Tae Moo sees her. He acknowledges her because the fruit supplier woman from NYC that noticed him and Tae younger collectively, which alarms him.
Grandma is within the health center unwell with fear over the disappearance of his golden grandson Tae young.
The Joseon four tag alongside as Park Ha is going to the clinic to fulfill her evil sister Se Na. Evil sister says that its been years considering they have been reunited (on account that Park Ha got here lower back from NYC), and she’s not keen to let the arena realize they're step-sisters. So she doesn’t want Park Ha popping by using to drop off groceries or be a pleasing type humanoid sister. reputedly Se Na is so evil she hates fine free groceries.
Prince is on foot outdoor whilst he spies his Crown Princess lookalike thru the glass. He tries to comply with her and runs head first into a tumbler pane.
bad Prince. happily no permanent harm accomplished, other than to his royal ego.
Prince tells his minions that he noticed the Crown Princess. right here! on this peculiar global.
Yong circle of relatives discussion time. What to do now that heir apparent Tae young is lacking. Hand the reins to Tae Moo? He positive would really like that.
Park Ha and the Prince share a cute moment outside since neither can sleep.
Apparently whip cream from a can is a food stuff no one can resist.
They are really cute together. Now if only Ha Ji Min would calm down from acting like an over-energetic chipmunk most of the time, she’s actually got chemistry with Yoochun. Otherwise he’s the only one doing all the correct emoting.
Operation: Teach the boys how to brush their teeth! Could be considered a success notwithstanding the swallowing of their rinse.
OMG, she started FIRE with the turn of a knob! We have a miracle, people! LOL, their expressions are just so adorably taken aback and excited about everything.
Time to navigate the streets of Seoul. First step is learning how to cross a cross walk. Red means stop, green means go.
It’s the multi-colored track suit parade. I love how Young Sul has his palm up indicating to the stopped cars not to move forward and hurt his Prince.
Now they mastered walking, next step is mastering the public transportation system.
Park Ha has to go run errands and Prince and co. tag along.
Prince is accidentally welcomed into the Yong household and taken up to the room belonging to Tae Young. Prince sees a portrait of Tae Young and is shocked to see his own face on another person.
Grandma is missing her sonny boy and happens to wander in.
Grandma is shocked, but then sooooo happy her grandson Tae Young is back.
For cousin Tae Moo, who decided to let Tae Young drown and cover it up, this development does not look good for him.
