Here’s another addition to the Rooftop Prince crew: Jung Seok-won (Ojakkyo Brothers, Dr. Champ) has joined the cast as a “soonjung macho” character (tough on the outside, pure on the inside). Jung’s role is of “Joseon’s greatest swordsman” who is quiet and forceful. How come every drama has to have a “greatest swordsman ever” character?... More »

It always feels a little voyeuristic, but that’s sort of the fun. Singer Baek Ji-young and actor Jung Seok-won pose... More »
