I was not here to recommend this show to anyone. I just want to review my opinion on this show.

It's freakingly dark, freakingly irritating, and also freaking epic. How can there is no likable characters expect Su Ryeon in entire main cast. It's unbelievable. Also I had a little crush on Ro-Na, but it's not about her character.

Womens screaming and framing for murder throughout the drama. Even it's unsettling, it still has its own epicness. That's why drama elements levels portrayed at its best. So its a 10.

This high-life Korean drama reminds you of all those bloodstained knife nightmares, that end with an abrupt fall from a high place , or more precisely Puccini's TOSCA......which coincidentally contains ALL these details! Though Penthouse's melodrama is scarcely believable, I'm still watching, since it's compulsive, with Mozart's Queen of the Night and Verdi's sumptuous Sempre Libera (La Traviata) thrown in, though I'm genuinely skeptical mere16-year-old students could master the tacitura. Pity really that Tosca's not got Soprano solos, like "E lucivan le stelle" for Tenor. Penthouse, nonetheless owes much to Kabuki and Greek Drama (Euripides, Sophocles, Aeschylus), whose long-forgotten audiences were frightened equally by awe-inspiring events that often shocked in juxtaposing good/evil, rich/poor, lawful/unlawful Godly/unGodly, mighty/impotent etc. The trick Penthouse seems to employ perpetually.......... is to draw its audience in - shortly before SHOCKING them! We even have the semblance of a Greek Chorus with those two chatty Heron Palace ladies and that toe-rag of a lawyer/politician. All in all, there's actually more than meets the eye to Penthouse. Hope this review will explain things a little better to the curious, or for the Music-lover to search YouTube for Puccini's, E lucivan le stelle, (Pavarotti, or Placido Domingo).

I loved the series at first, but as the story developed, it was just way too dramatic and made no sense. I really think it should have been done with two seasons. Anyway, I loved three actresses: Eugene, Kim Soyeon, and Lee Jiah.

Joo dan Rae's character is onto all his enemies and knows everything that is going on. The series is far too long.

Now once again he found about a dna test and killed that beautiful lady now framing the man for her murder is this truly how Korean rich people are?

This drama keeps you focused from the very first minute. An unexpected murder starts a domino of events. The rich and arrogant residents of Hera Palace and their selfish children as well as the unlucky Bae Ro-Na and her mam unroll step by step their own unique frame of mind. Betrayal, hatred, bullying, social inequalities ,love and revenge are only some of the feelings every character in this drama is experienced. The whole script is really good especially in the Season 1 (rate 9/10 for me) and the haunting performance from Cheon Seo-Jin and her daughter will make you thrilled!

Season 2 is not so good at the beggining. There are some plot twists seems like soap-opera and the action is slow. However, there are some great elements too. The psyche world of the children and the relationships between them, as well as the great finale , save the whole Season. Starts bad but ends good and that's the reason why I will rate Season 2 with 7/10.

After watching the last season I have to say that there are many unnecessary characters and episodes. First of all , Alex. An older brother who totally undoes the whole 1st season story (concerning the bone's marrow transplant, why to adopt a child when there is a brother to offer it???). Secondly, Baek Ju Ki. No need of existence too. He came and left without nobody feels anything about him.

There were some good episodes ,especially concerning the youngs , however there were just a little. In my way of thinking , season 3 was in the majority, unnecessary. I kept some good episodes (only 3 or 5 I think) and the satisfing finale. I have to mention that all the actors/actresses were great and their performances were extremely good.

So finally I will rate season 3 with 4/10.

From all the above my final rate is 6/10.
