In addition, he also interprets well the modern character Yong Tae Yong, who is a person wants to take it easy and doesn’t like to be confined. It’s completely opposite role with Lee Gak of Joseon Dynasty. Park Yoochun began to shine with one person acting in two roles of Lee Gak and Yong Tae Yong. Viewers would have felt that the significant difference between the two crossover roles from two completely different world.
In the episode 13 of “Rooftop Prince” aired on May 2nd, 2012, the ‘real’ Yong Tae Yong who previously thought to be dead after falling into the sea reappears, and his charismatic performance is really eye-catching. The short scene as simple as just lying on the bed, turning his head and without saying a word, although less than one minute of time, but he has made a prideful impact to the viewers.
Among the characters that played by Park Yoochun, Lee Gak who forged the destiny with Crown Princess and lives in the name of Yong Tae Yong with appropriate mixture of personality in the past and present is the most attractive.

¡Hooray for Yoochun! Outstanding acting my love; you’re very talented indeed
Wow, there are many articles praising him for his acting in RTP. Proud of you, actor Park!
love this article! he is this and so much more that has nothing to do with acting. its neat to see him being acknowledged for his acting work!
I agreed he nailed it a two different character in this drama, not to mention his eyes and facial acting
are so expressive.
YooChun is such a hard worker ^^ So proud of him <333
But i might want to point out "the ‘real’ Yong Tae Yong who previously thought to be dead after falling into the sea reappears" Was i the only one that had that feeling that he wasn't dead and wasn't surprised when they revealed he was still alive? :p
finally!!! people now know how talented you are, our prince!!
with each role he gets better and better. Truly talented in every way.
He is awesome! I am so proud of him <3
He has the inborn acting talent indeed, otherwise I would not have fallen in love after watching his SKKS & surprised to know that SKKS was actually his debut drama!
Eyes watery. I’m so proud. Like this article never told a lie because viewing Rooftop Prince Chunnie’s acting is sooo perfect. Like it’s so true. This drama makes the title of ‘actor’ for him like totally epically official.
Like no one can say he’s an ‘idol actor’ like it’s just something singers to do. Like this isn’t just something for him to do as a singer. He’s just straight up an actor. Like He’s equally an actor as he is equally a singer/entertainer. This drama solidified him. He’s really good.
inspirational.
everybody know Tae Yong will come out but his acting Just mere seconds,without a word,without eye contact,he gave us grest impact,I am surprise after seeing that scene.
He is playing 2 character plus two,total 4 character to be exact.Yoochun daebak

my panda prince will go to army…I don’t know how many time I will re watched SKKS and RTP and JYJ videos in 2 years without him…T_T
He’s not going yet, sweety. Not for another two years at least. By that time he would have come up with two new dramas and albums for us to enjoy.
oh really? when he will go to army? I’m crying in happiness T_T
tskk. tsk. Yoochun is completely immersed into the character of the Crown Prince and Yong Tae Yong!
I can’t help praising his awesome and unfeigned portray of emotional anger, sadness and disgust. On the other hand, his undeniable cuteness and comical side of him making us waiting for more.
He really has great talent for acting.
Go Yoochun! I loved episode 14 cos we are back to more comedic turns. And the last scene between Park Ha and Lee Gak doing laundry was sheer wonderfulness.
Oui!
