It is believed that when a person dies, their soul spends 49 days in Jungcheon, or Purgatory before their eternal fate is decided - heaven, hell or rebirth. That's where accomplished demon hunter Yi Kwak finds himself as he lies on the edge of death in our world. Blessed with astounding swordsmanship and the uncanny ability to see the evil spirits invisible to most, Yi enlisted with the royal squad of elite demon exterminators, the Chuhyongdae, following his fiancee's tragic death. In Jungcheon, he finds Yon Hwa again, but she does not recognize him - she is a spirit of the afterlife now, severed from earthly memories. Moreover, she is deeply entangled in a great war between the white-clad warriors of reincarnation and a swarm of dark spirits determined to forever shatter the cycle of life and death. The battle is desperately close to a terrifying conclusion, so Yi must draw his sword to defend the woman he loves and all they hold dear - and confront the same soul that was once like a father to him.

Just like 49 Days, the main theme surrounding Rooftop Prince involved scheming, greed and theft of property/money.

Both shows focuses on the struggle of the MC in terms of finding out that the people closest to them were the ones who hated them the most. However, they each don't find it out directly as themselves.

I think it's really enjoyable just as 49 Days and it both captures the theme powerfully in a sense.

The acting of the casts were great. Worth to watch. Storyline is beautiful. One of the evidence to say that the acting was amazing will be the winner of Daesang 2015 of MBC: Ji Sung. Funny, Romantic and hot. FASTER WATCH IT......

The setting is the same. Both dramas have the same feels, since in both dramas a rich guy (in rooftop prince the guy is a prince from the Joseon era who ends up in modern-day Seoul and in Shopping King Louis the guy is the heir of a conglomerate) becomes poor and has to learn how to live a normal life with a poor woman who takes care of him.

Both have a male character who time-travels and interacts with a female lead from modern day Korea/Japan.
