[TRANS] 120215 “Rooftop Prince” Writer Says, “The Reason Why We Wanted Yoochun To Appear? His Extraordinary Charm”

ncn.jpg

The screenplay writer of SBS drama “Rooftop Prince” which will begin its broadcast in March this year, Lee Hui Myung, has explained that the reason why Park Yoochun was selected as the male lead was his “extraordinary charm”.

Lee Hui Myung, who wrote several representative romantic comedies such as “Mr. Q” (1998), “tomato” (1999) and “Success Story of a Bright Girl” (2002), spoke about his thoughts and revelations prior to the broadcast of “Rooftop Prince.”

“Rooftop Prince” is about the crown prince of the chosun dynasty who loses his beloved princess then travels with his consorts 300 years into the future to the modern day to continue his unfinished romance, a fantasy-romantic comedy. It features Park Yoochun, Han Ji Min, Jung Yoo Mi and others.

In this drama, the scriptwriter said that reason why the main character was planned to be a crown prince was that “Disregarding reality, but from a drama point of view, relationships that transcend the differences between a man and a woman are the ones that receive the best response from the audience.  This is why you often see young CEOs with a chairman for a father, or a manager. So I thought, what would be of an even higher status than a CEO or someone with a chairman for a father, and I felt that using a king or crown prince would be possible.”

Aside from the characters, when talking about why he chose to use time travel as the setting, he said, “If a flower boy from the Chosun dynasty appeared in modern day Seoul, how would he be treated. Unlike the modern days, his character and manner would be more traditional, and if the guy who had come was not a handsome man, how would it be….it seemed to be really interesting to imagine these scenarios. “

With regards to Kim Min Jong and Song Yun Ah, who starred in “Mr. Q”, and Jang Nara, who starred in “Success Story of a Bright Girl” and became immensely popular, he said, “I never once thought that these actors became successful because of me. Instead, it is all thanks to their star factor and acting skills, as well as exceptional direction, that allowed my scripts to be a success.”

Talking about Park Yoochun, who  plays the crown prince and lead for the drama, he said, “As an actor, Park Yoochun has always been using a gentle image to define his role as an actor. As the Crown Prince Lee Gak, he has to be a character with exceptional charisma, and I think that Park Yoochun has that potential, and I am looking forward to it. Looking at this, if he does well, the drama will be successful, and I feel that Park Yoochun will also have chances to play other kinds of roles.”

“Rooftop Prince” which is a collaboration between screenplay writer Lee Hui Myung and director Shin Yoon Seob, will be aired after “Please take care of us, Captain” in March.

^^ is that our Prince getting lost in the middle of modernity? Prince, would you want a guide guidance? heeeeee

i haven't watched any of this writer's series: Mr. Q., Tomato, Successful Story of Bright Girl. Just going by the article, he appears very well-grounded and likeable. Hoping he'll stay focused and his product will turn out as entertaining as he wishes. With an interesting plot along with all the young energy brought about by the cast, this drama has a lot of potential. i'm so looking forward to March!

^^ I hope Yoochun does not think too much about others comments because it seems like people are putting alot of pressure for him to do good in this. He's still very new to acting so i wish that everyone would not expect so much from the guy. He has the potential but he still needs to work on his craft like others through experience.

Anyways, i have faith in you Chunnie!

From people on the scene - the atmosphere between the cast and the crew is really good. There is a lot of laughing and joking around, and everyone is relaxed. They also said Yoochun and Han Jimin have really good chemistry ;). Well, this is all hear say for now, but the pics so far look very good.
