SBS’s series Rooftop Prince, starring JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun and Han Ji Min, recently sold to Japan by receiving 200,000 dollars (about 220 million won) per episode.
On April 20, Kim Young Seop, general CP of SBS Drama Center, said, “The series is receiving favorable reviews from foreign countries. Japan bought the series paying 200,000 dollars per episode.”
He added, “A broadcasting station from Singapore will visit the set on April 25 to report on the series and actors.”
“The series drew a lot of attention thanks to writer Lee Hee Myung, who returned writing TV drama in six years. Since the series is a romantic comedy combined with mystery, it could have become a beloved series. We will try harder to make TV dramas for the youth as well.”
The series is a fantasy romance about a crown prince named Lee Gak (played by Park) from Joseon Dynasty. He travels through time from 300 years ago to 21st century Seoul with his men after loosing crown princess (played by Jung Yoo Mi). He will fall in love with a girl who he couldn’t in the past life.
(Note: With 20 episodes, the whole RTP series are sold for 4.56 billion Won, higher than Miss Ripley’s 3 billion won.)
Yeah, thats awesome news!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I realy truely love RTP so darn much!!!!!!!!!!!!! This really is an excellent drama!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait until next episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuchun Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
It’s same when Japan bought SKKS, USD 4,000,000 for 20eps. It’s just wowwww. SBS got very huge bucks from RTP.
I really hope the story will still able to keep balace between fun and problems. I really dissapointed bcos ep 9 and 10 were full of Sena. She in every scene while Lee Gak and Park Ha has less scene than her. Too many Sena so the ratings dropped.
But I still love the ending of ep 10.
LOL sorry for my rant. RTP fighting! YC fighting!
“Too many Sena so the ratings dropped.” I can’t, that’s so funny. LOL. No worries! We’ll have more Lee Gak-Park Ha scenes to feed our OTP hearts soon!
This. She was all over those episodes like a TORNADO just ripping and twisting everything up for Bak Ha. I broke down when she asked the rangers to join her in a bbq I was like NOOOO DONT TAKE THE RANGERRRRSSSS! You took grandma, you took the aunt, you took Lee Gak now the rangers oh no don’t touch the rangers!
