Jung Suk-won said, "I am happy to be able to work with excellent writers and producers. I can already feel the energy of the drama. I should be able to show you some different sides of myself as much as I also perform action and romance".

"The Rooftop Prince" is about a prince who lost his love in the Chosun times, and then travels to the 21st century to find someone who looks like her. Han Ji-min and JYJ's Micky Yuchun are in the leading roles.
