After some early struggles, MBC’s I Summon You, Gold is taking shape as it assembles its main cast in preparation for its premiere next month. The two latest additions (who are in the final stages of contract talks) are Lee Tae-sung (Rooftop Prince) and Lee Soo-kyung (Color of Woman), who join heroine Han Ji-hye. The... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 20 (Final)
Well, wouldn’tcha know: Here’s a surprisingly satisfying ending for a series that was in danger of losing its way on multiple occasions. We finally get at the truth of the big Joseon mystery, and I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked with the plot we’ve seen thus far, and the characterizations of our... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 19
It’s a surprisingly moving episode, one that I didn’t expect given the dumbness of last week. But when you take away the tired corporate plots, resolve the villain conflict, and remove them from the picture, what’s left? Turns out it’s all the good stuff that made me enjoy the show so much in the first... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 18
So much unintentional comedy in this episode, where you just have to laugh at the disconnect between what was meant and what you actually feel. I guess the alternative would be to get aggravated, but I prefer laughing, even if I wasn’t meant to. After all, it doesn’t matter so much why I’m entertained, as... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 17
Secrets come pouring out and lots of dots are connected, praise be! Secrets are great when they twist the viewers’ expectations, but when the secrets are things that the viewers have been aware of for a long while, they lose their dramatic punch when we’re just waiting for them to come out. Now that some... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 16
Both hero and villain step it up a notch with the scheming, which sends our pendulum swinging back and forth a few times. Also, it is pretty satisfying to watch our baddies unraveling a bit at the seams… even if I am super greedy and want a lot more unraveling. Come on, comeuppance! SONG OF... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 15
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, which brought a well-balanced mix of plot movement, cuteness, romantic development, mystery solving, and secret unveiling. Balance isn’t always this drama’s forte, but this episode does a solid job of upping the stakes and intensifying the plot at a point where a lot of dramas start to flag and slow... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 14
The Cute is back, which is always a good thing with this show, where so much of the charm comes from the characterizations. I’ve been missing the fun in any episode that’s heavily skewed in favor of the company plotline, even though those tend to move quickly, because no matter how fast the evildoers move,... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 13
Lots of forward movement today, with lies unraveling and Major Discoveries being made. In fact, I sort of wonder if some of this could have been paced a little slower to give us a chance to react emotionally with the characters, rather than zooming right by… but I suppose I’d rather feel something went too...

Rooftop Prince: Episode 12
If yesterday was all about Park-ha confronting her feelings and trying to resolve them, today was all about Yi Gak doing the same. I much preferred this episode to yesterday’s, which seemed like all plot and little personality. This one was a nice way to follow up yesterday’s moodier story turns, because we get less... More »
