Years go by for Lee Gon, and he grows into a King who searches for the person who saved him. Meanwhile, in present-day Korea, a detective by the name of Tae-Eul (Kim Go-Eun) investigates that same man–Lee Gon’s uncle–who shows up covered in blood.
One day, in an alternate reality of Korea, a young prince by the name of Lee Gon (Lee Min-Ho) watches his father be murdered by an Uncle, and he is next until a mysterious stranger saves him. However, in the other universe, Korea is still run by a monarchy, though it exists under present-day advancements. One universe follows the everyday life of modern-day Seoul, where there are prime ministers and presidents. In modern-day Korea, there exist two parallel universes. Anyone looking for mystery in their time-traveling K-dramas will enjoy this classic. It’s also a unique drama where characters jump to present time as opposed to past eras, which is always refreshing to watch in a time-traveling K-drama. Rooftop Prince also deals with evil, second-female leads, goofy scenarios, and tropey love triangles. It deals with amnesia–attained by Park-Ha after an accident, and she finds herself unable to answer why she was separated from her family.
