If THE LONG VACATION is Japanese TV's calling card to the international TV market, then ROOFTOP ROOM CAT or ROOFTOP CAT or ATTIC CAT must be South Korea's standard bearer.

ROOFTOP ROOM CAT involves a rich lost-in-life college boy who wants the sexy rich girl who wants the successful business man who wants the poor but responsible girl who wants the rich lost-in-life college boy.

It is a great love quad-angle with lots of forceful parents and grandparents adding to the drama. While ROOFTOP ROOM CAT does not have the world class music of THE LONG VACATION or its sense of place in entertainment history, ROOFTOP ROOM CAT does share relationships between generations (grandparents, parents, adult children) while still remaining hip and very fun to watch.

This is the best K-drama series so far. Like with many Korean names in the IMDb, most all of the character names spelled in the English subtitles for this series on the AZN cable channel are spelled differently than they are spelled here at IMDb.

Have watched it some 13 years ago and I still can remember how it felt like to see how emotional and funny the characters were. I miss it! Wish I could watch it again but with English subtitle this time.
