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.

People criticize this drama as bad without first investigating the genre of makjang. Makjang literally means "taking things too far" and is a word often used in Korea to mean that things went "to the extreme." So by understanding this we will know that we will face a series that will have extreme situations and out of "reality" but this is what makes Penthouse a high impact series. The performances of the women are really strong, highlighting Cheon Seong Yi represented by Kim So Yeon, a real villain that we will never know how far she will go as well as the character of Joo Dan Tae, the demon of this kdrama. Each chapter is intriguing, you do not know what will happen in the next, causing the viewer an immense anxiety that will force you to continue and continue watching, I literally did not sleep in a week since when I started watching this program the first two seasons were already published. It was a long journey but I enjoyed it too much. So without further ado if you want to see a dramatically bizarre and shocking series you should give Penthouse a try, it is unpredictable and extreme to be simply a drama
Korean has very strong images because being a follower of Korean productions, bloody and explicit scenes are almost always only found in movies. Well just add I love, I loved and I will continue to love this program, it is unique, you will not find another like it. PENTHOUSE left a very high bar on the makjangs that it will be very difficult for them to reach the heels of this series.
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?

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.
I originally rated this a 10 but the bullying is going on too much and is teaching children who watch this series it's ok to bully.
Rich people can be so nasty and why do they hit their employees?
