Kim Seon-ho, who became a major Hallyu star after starring in tvN's Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, and Park Sung-hoon, a rising Hallyu star who starred in Netflix's The Glory and Queen of Tears, what do they have in common? They are both former actors in the play Cat on the Rooftop. Each played the lead character, Lee Kyung-min: Park Sung-hoon took on the role in 2012 and Kim Seon-ho in 2015, respectively. Moreover, at the beginning of 2024, Yongseung from the idol group VERIVERY followed suit. It's a play in which the actors who are now Hallyu stars starred.

But it is by no means a play that relies solely on actors. The original work of the same name is a legendary web novel published by Kim Yu-ri in 2001. It was made into a drama of the same title in 2003 starring Hallyu star Kim Rae-won and adapted into a play in 2010. It has been running for 14 years since its premiere, attracting 2.7 million viewers. It has been loved by generations as a drama and a play for over 20 years.

Cat on the Rooftop is the story of Kyung-min, who was born and raised in Seoul, and Jeong-eun, who came to Seoul from Daegu. They are scammed into signing a contract for the same rooftop place, live together, and eventually fall in love with each other. The contrast between the two actors' back-and-forth tiki-taka and their parodies of two cats, Mung-chi and Gyeo-yang-i, is hilarious. The film is fast-paced and light-hearted, making it an enjoyable watch.
