DEFINTELY NOT FOR THE LIGHT-HEARTED!
I'd like to start my review off with how amazing the acting in Penthouse was. The acting was phenomenal and the emotions expressed by each actor and actress were beautifully done. The actors and actresses in Penthouse portrayed their characters incredibly well, to the point where you begin to hate the character as if they were real-life people. 10/10 acting, amazing cast on this drama!
The plot is basically a murder-mystery with a huge pit of revenge mixed in, which turned out to make a lovely drama. There were a few times I'd be watching Penthouse and think that there should have been more common sense written in, but the many plot twists and unexpected events definitely make up for it.
Without a doubt, Penthouse is intense, it's frustrating. Myself, I couldn't handle it at first, I stopped watching it for a bit, but recently decided to pick it back up after seeing a clip of a later episode. As soon as I picked Penthouse back up, I became immersed and practically binged the rest. There's plenty of likable qualities about this show.
I'll conclude my review with the last point I want to share. The first season was great, don't' get me wrong, but I really don't see how the show is planned to stretch out for 3 seasons. The first season by itself has 21 episodes, and I think it has pretty much concluded what was formed in this season, not much unfinished business SPOILER WARNING (besides the justice that Logan Lee might get for Shims murder, his revenge against Dantae, and (maybe) the publicity & justice of SeolAh's murder) I can see the second season working, but not a thrid season. Will the two following seasons live up to the first season? Will it be worth it to watch? Who knows.
Overall, I decided to give Penthouse a 9.5, because the acting was amazing, and despite the few times where I wanted to completely stop watching because of how frustrated I was the drama was overall amazing.
I totally recommend this drama, it is a fantastic watch! But only to those who can handle watching very intense shows, with dark topics.
