I was a bit skeptical while watching season 1; I didn't think the writers could pull off more than one season of the show, but I was proven wrong! Penthouse is an intense drama filled with corrupt people doing corrupt and horrid things all in hopes to gain fame, money, and popularity. The members of the penthouse were willing to do anything to gain these things. For me, I prefer the 2nd season over the 1st one as it was much more exciting for me to watch and I always found myself itching to watch the next episode even though it wasn't out yet. I can't pinpoint if it was because this season was a bit shorter than the first, or if it was just written better, but I can surely go on and on about how much I enjoyed Penthouse: War in Life Season 2.

Story:
Honestly, the story was never boring. With every episode came chaos and I think the writers did a fantastic job at throwing in the twists and turns all throughout the show. The writers left me on the edge of my seat through the entirety of the drama. The plot took a different direction than I had guessed from the first season, and it was unpredictable throughout most of the episodes. I was left in shock so many times while watching this season. Season 2 was just brilliant!

Characters:
I praised the characters and acting in my previous review of season one, and I will continue to praise that here as well. The characters were brilliantly made, and right off the bat in season one, you could quickly tell who you liked and who you hated. However, throughout the show and carrying on into season 2 those same characters you would claim to hate with all your heart start seeping into your blood and you being liking them for various reasons. The development of the characters is also something that I would like to praise. For example, Jenny's mother who at first also hated Yoon Hee, but later discovered that her child was being tormented by the penthouse kids such as Ro Na and Seoul A were and she turned her back to them for the most part. I also loved the fact that Yoon Hee was so determined to bring justice for her daughter and for all the evil things the people at the penthouse did and still punished herself for Seol A's death afterward. I didn't really like Yoon Hee, but her courage and willingness to face the punishment for her crime were nice.

Acting:
By far this drama has the perfect lineup of actors and actresses! They did such an amazing job at portraying their characters and the emotions that came with them and it was so amazing to watch! I truly can't picture a different cast for this drama, it simply would not be the same! They did a splendid job with this drama, and I truly treasure this cast and their brilliant acting! I will for sure be checking out some more of their individual works!

ETC:
The only other thing I would like to go over in my review is the few OST's we were given. In Penthouse, both seasons, I've yet to find one OST I didn't like. The music was beautifully selected for this drama! I just wish there was a bit more showing of them!

Final Thoughts:
Overall this drama was exciting to watch and always kept me on my toes! I absolutely loved season two!

All that being said, I can't wait to see what season three brings (although I'm not sure as to how they will extend the story more other than from what happened in the last episode of season 2.) I can't wait to rejoin with this hectic yet masterpiece of a dram! Overall, this season was fantastic! If you've watched and liked season 1 (or if you're a bit iffy on season 1) I totally recommend pushing through and watching season 2! You will NOT regret it!
