■ SBS Drama ‘Rooftop Prince’ Park Yoochun
• At present has acted (sweated) over two other roles
• Through his character interpretations he has shown remarkable improvement in his performances
• He wishes to challenge himself by acting as a psychopath (in his next piece)
There is a lot to be said about the drama “Rooftop Prince.” It was a
properly performed drama with just the right amount of feeling…it can be
called a comforting drama during tough times.
Before the drama began, there was increasingly much talk over the
unexpected death of Park Yoochun’s father. However Yoochun overcame such
trials from episode 1 up to episode 20 and was able to “successfully
complete” the drama without fail. Viewers who saw his performance were
left with a deep impression.
In SBS “Rooftop Prince,” Park Yoochun
played the “double role” of Joseon era’s Crown Prince Lee Gak as well as
present day’s Yong TaeYong. Up to the drama’s conclusion, the drama was
able to tell a light-hearted story.
“From the early stages of filming up to the extremely tight rap up of
episode 20, I am glad we finished without any accidents. Personally, I
have a bit more affection for this drama compared to the others. I was
already moved when I received the drama proposal and so I felt even
better when the drama finished well.”
Debuting in the drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” Yoochun started off not
really aware of how to perform/act. However, since ‘Rooftop Prince,’ he
has discovered the fun of properly acting. Though it was a miracle that
each episode was broadcasted on time despite a tight schedule, the
actors’ teamwork/sportsmanship was better than ever. They naturally
received adlibs from one another and responded in kind without breaking a
sweat (getting out of character). […]
For this drama, Yoochun was able to make the character his own. Using
inarticulate modern day language, Yoochun’s character Lee Gak’s English
was even more unspeakable. Naturally because he came from Joseon era he
was not used to the language. Thus, instead of pronouncing “Omurice”
and “Ice Bar” correctly, they came out slightly wrong-“Omurice-su” and
“Ice-su Bar.” […]
Also, Lee Gak and Yong TaeYong’s character was distinguished by
glasses. When Yoochun wore glasses he was acting the part of Taeyong and
when he took them off he was acting the part of Lee Gak. However,
because Yong Taeyong wanted to reach out to Bak Ha whom he personally
liked so much (though she loved Lee Gak) Yong Taeyong chose not to wear
glasses.
The person whom Bak Ha met at the end…exactly who was he? There were
diverse responses- however Yoochun said that it was “100% Yong Taeyong.”
In the original script Bak Ha was not supposed to recognize Lee Gak’s
presence- however rather than cutting out one of the two characters, in
the end, the script was written so that Bak Ha would be able to feel a
sense of Lee Gak in Taeyong.
The tears that came during the kiss scene and confession with Bak Ha
weren’t really formed out of a feeling of love. In the end, the
confession and tears came as a result of the sad reality that “the
Rooftop Prince and his trio” had to return back to the Joseon period.
Park Yoochun explained that such painful reality naturally brought on
his tears.
“When I look back at how I acted and see that viewers somehow have
reacted with similar response, I am most proud. It was then that I felt
the most joy.”
Now, with an understanding of the “fun of acting,” Yoochun wishes to
play more roles— a psycho, murderer, etc. (especially criminal roles)
Whether it is due to makeup, lighting, angle or simply acting alone,
Yoochun wishes to become an actor with such impressive acting ability
that people will be able to dominate the acting scene and be considered
for important roles.
“From now on I’d like to try a variety of roles. However, amongst
those roles if there is a medical drama, I’d like to participate in it.
As Yong Taeyong I did have a scene in the hospital where it actually
took around 6 hours to film…I sensed that filming medical dramas would
be pretty tough. If there is an opportunity I’d like to have a role in a
medical drama. Ha Ha”

Kim SeoHyun is a child actress who starred alongside Park Yoochun in
“Rooftop Prince”. Yoochun said of her, “If I had such a younger sister
that would have been great. If I also had a daughter just like her that
would also be great.”
Though his words of “wanting a younger sister” may have just been a
wish, in reality Yoochun’s mother had once considered adoption.
“It seemed that because I was really busy my mom was getting a little
depressed. In reality, two years ago my mother confessed that she was
considering adopting a girl. I was in favor of the adoption however in
the end it did not seem to work out due to an irresponsible person (the
other party’s side. […]
