I tend to enjoy a good time travel movie and as a Netflix subscriber, I get recommendations based on other things I have watched. Rooftop Prince was a Netflix recommendation. The idea of a Korean TV show with subtitles didn't seem like something I would care much about, but it wouldn't hurt to watch the first episode and see. That is what I did and I got hooked immediately.

Some of the things I found so refreshing about this show is #1-it is clean. No offensive joking or language. #2-it is hilarious at times and thrilling at other times. It has everything a good drama should have--greed, murder, mystery, romance, wealth and yet much of the time, it was very sweet. Throwing in some reincarnation and time travel just ices the cake for me. I love it. The two main characters (romantic) have a tremendous chemistry together. I would love to see them both again.

I binge watched all 20 episodes and I may watch them all again. At times the dialog went by too fast with the subtitles, I couldn't read it, but most of the time I was able to understand what was going on.

Each episode leaves you with a cliffhanger. Everything is concluded satisfactorily at last episode. Each episode is about an hour and 4 minutes long. I don't really get that odd amount of time. Here a TV show is fitted into an hour with commercials, generally so it might be 42 minutes without commercials. I wonder how they fit their TV shows in Korea for watching?

I gave it 10 stars because it was so enjoyable and addictive. I am going through withdrawal now that I am done watching it. In my opinion, there is nothing this entertaining on American TV lately.
