A lot of confusion
*Spoilers*I enjoyed watching the Penthouse but I feel as if the 3rd season was unnecessary. I have many strange questions like Why were the secretaries of Seo Jin and Dan Tae so loyal to them which resulted in one of their deaths.
To the Spoilers....killing Yooncheol was sooo unnecessary he made dumb decisions which played a huge part to his role but the partial character development only lead me to be happy for him in the end just for him to be killed??? Also what was the purpose of Jennies dad I was thinking he was going to swoop in and be a savior and use his past arrest to get revenge but that completely gets erased?? Also since they kept Logan alive I knew getting Yoon Hee back wasn't possible but did they have to kill
Suryeon in the end too ...Logan having a brother was honestly just a filler bit I liked it.
Me personally I thought that Beak Jun Gi was a little bit useless or could've gotten less screen time than he did I truly forgot his purpose.
I was a little confused about the very ending and wondered if the segment meant Logan was dead and what was the purpose of killing him too. in the end everyone ends up dead except Mari, Minhyuk parents and the children
Overall I did enjoy watching with the many thoughts and questions I had but could've left it at season 2 if they added a few more episodes for closure. This review was all over the place but this is my thoughts.

Dragged on
I feel like they could've just finished at season 2. Part 3 felt like it dragged on. It was going back and forth with the revenge and Dan Tae and Seo Jin always escaping or killing more people only for all the good main characters to have their happy ending in Heaven. I'm totally okay with that but it was kinda like what was the point? They went through a lot of BS. The kids ended up losing all their parents. They should've died earlier then if that was the case and end the drama. I felt like the author was really money hungry to drag it on. Well at least all their kids add happy endings. I loved the character development of all the kids when they're grown up. Ro Na is super successful,Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

¿Qué?
No se ni como empezar.1. Sim Sooryeon puede ser el personaje más débil que puede haber, no tiene bases, no tiene confianza, dudo que pueda tener agallas de hacer lo necesario para salirse con la suya de una vez por todas (spoilers: no lo hace, ¿terminó ganando o perdiendo? lol). Le llevo 3 temporadas tener huevos para por fin m*tar a su "esposo", todo para terminar peor que como empezó
2. Yoonhee, no importa cuando quiera el guión hacer que tenga lastima por ti, tu te lo búscate. Tal vez su muerte no fue escrita de la mejor manera, pero fue buen shock-value para la trama, no lo voy a negar.
3. Todos los ricos corruptos (personajes secundarios)... ¿soy yo o su castigo no fue suficiente? sus únicos papeles en la trama fue de "comic relief", ¡no olvidemos que los ricos también lloran!
4. Mugre final pedorro, 5/10, fue bueno en cierto sentido, pero pudo ser mejor; debió ser un final donde la prota puede conseguirse un interés amoroso bonito y su felices para siempre, pero bue.
5. Esta serie no debió ser tan larga, es cansado ver a la misma cucaracha (Joo Dan-tae) no morirse, el balazo debieron darselo al final de la segunda temporada. Pero si, el final de Seo-jin sí me pareció justo; triste y amargo, como su existencia en la historia.

o fim da cobertura
nossa nem sei o que comentar pois penthouse tem tanta coisa que você não consegui definir direito pois é uma loucura e exagero muito plot twist um atrás do outro que você fica se perguntando ''isso tá acontecendo'' ''é para valer?'' você nunca sabe o que esperar e isso deixa penthouse não só essa temporada como as outras imprevisíveis sem saber o que vai acontecer e quando acontece você fica isso aconteceu mesmo? não é um delirio, pois é e assim que eu me senti vendo.o elenco todo é maravilhoso não tenho nenhuma critica, a gente odeia sente raiva e ama e uma mistura muito gostosa de acompanhar, os vilões são maravilhosos não desistindo até o fim.
sobre o final em si, fiquei triste mas entendi porque terminou mesmo com um gostinho amargo pois queria um final feliz.
recomendo SUPER, vou sentir saudades dessa loucura toda

QUITE THE RIDE
Words cannot describe how amazing this show has been for me. I had heard about the penthouse, but I just thought it would just be another drama but this one took me for quite a ride.PROS
The pros of this drama were the music/soundtrack, I loved the classical music background, I feel it added another element that defined the drama more and to be honest, I am still obsessed with it. I loved the mix of intense suspense with comedy, it made watching the drama feel like a rollercoaster. Also, while watching the drama, I had wondered if the writers were sadists since they loved to kill the good guys in the most horrible way possible, but I suppose that is what made the drama thrilling and unpredictable because there was no way to know when one of your favorite characters would be killed off. I like the Unpredictableness of the drama, there were characters like Oh Han Nee who became bad for a while in season one before changing, and many other characters which showed that ultimately most villains are not born but shaped to be one by their choices. I loved the actors/actresses, I felt that they gave this drama the notch, I loved Shim Rung for her classy acting, she really portrayed the character to root for, I loved crazy seo chin, she somehow reminded me of Disney villains with her evil but beautiful expressions and the others.
The cons for me were some plot twists which I feel were unnecessary and only served to elongate the drama. At some point, it felt like everybody had a twin somewhere especially when logan's twin brother suddenly appeared from nowhere. Also making shim Shim sheon yoon's adopted daughter, her real daughter for me did not fit into the story and seemed like an unnecessary evil deed by Joo Dan Tae. Min seo ah should have remained her only real daughter. While I loved the dead characters coming back to life, it essentially killed the drama a bit, because each time someone died, it felt like you just needed to wait patiently for the person to pop back up. The main actress dying as well as logan also made watching the three seasons pointless because everyone was rooting for them to finally live and not just jump into paradise in the afterlife.
Summary (Spoiler)
Overall, I really loved the drama despite the ridiculous storyline because somehow the drama still found a way to keep us glued to our seats till the end. I guess the writers killed everybody except the kids as a form of poetic justice. Oh Han Nee who killed Min Seol Ah ended up dying while redeeming herself by saving another person's child. Seo Jin ended up losing her money, voice, and her daughter Eun Byoel who meant everything to her and died miserably, Joo Dan Tae died at the place he had built after being abandoned by everyone and seen for who he really was, Han Chul died trying to be a father, it would appear that Shim Sheon Ryung got her revenge at the end of the day but paid the price for revenge.
As crazy as this drama is, its one of my best dramas and something i can highly recommend.

This was a massive nod to 80s US dramas
What a weak KDrama! Everyone was raving about this drama and I was curious - but it was nothing but a big bow to an awful period of US day time dramas ( reminded me of The Bold and the Beautiful & Dynasty!)If you fan of these stretched, no eventful, over the top, screaming, weak story dramas - this is your drama!
The drama should be watched in half of the normal volume - and I hope none of the actors lost their voices in the process of filming - there was a LOT of screaming!
Looking for pros - the OST was not tot bad, the CGI was good too, the cast was not bad either. Everything else .arghhhh. You will enjoy the outfits tho - the wardrobe did the best job!
Ps this is the case for all 3 series!

S1 & S2 > S3
After I finished the drama I was so mad.Season 1 and season 2 were so realistic and Penthouse could've got its good ending but they wasted it. SBS thought giving us one episode every week only will make it suspenseful and mysterious. Which I agree, it did at the start. But when they literally killed off Oh Yoon hee IN EPISODE 5, that's when everything went downhill. I was ok with them killing off Oh Yoon hee but literally for no reason?? At the end of season 2, they killed off Logan lee. He got literally burned by the fire but he came back alive which was the dumbest reason ever. And Oh Yoon hee died from falling off a cliff, going into the water. I know she doesn't know how to swim but they still had the chance to get her back. And the fact that Cheon Seo Jin did that was even worse. Oh, and her dying from the chandelier and still coming back made a bit more sense because the end of the chandelier was a round shape so she couldn't have died that easily. Them killing off Ha Yoon Chul... WAS EVEN WORSE. I DON'T GET THE POINT IN KILLING OFF THE GOOD PEOPLE FOR NO REASON because, in the end, Cheon Seo Jin ended up dying. I felt bad but what was the point in killing these characters if she's just gonna end up dying?
I would definitely rewatch this drama because it was good. I just wished that they made it Friday and Saturday, 2 days every week so viewers wouldn't have got bored that quick. I actually don't know if other people got bored but I got bored pretty quick. I still watched it for the pasta date and it happened, in the last episode, which was another reason I was mad.

Repititve storyline
Season 1 was great. Though it was not my usual cup of drama, the plot kept me on edge and I binged through the whole season. Moving on to Seasons 2 and 3, I realised the storyline is pretty much repeating.It's just stupid, rich, snobby people who think they can get away with anything with their wealth.
Killing people for personal gain and then their loved ones seeking justice and revenge for the dead ones.
I'm sooooooooo sick of people coming back from the dead.
Watching The Penthouse I realised that it does not have THAT big of a story. No, the storyline was predictable and ordinary. The only reason it gained huge success was the execution of the plot. It's remarkable how well the did the production and execution of The Penthouse. And the acting? Top-notch acting skills and a great cast. Everyone did their role well.
So, the drama was ok, ig? But I'm not up for a rewatch though.

a must-watch
I watched all seasons of this drama. And let me tell you, I'm OBSESSED with it. Seriously, there wasn't any drama that got me hooked from the beginning like The Penthouse did.First of all, the story. You will never ever find a drama like this one. The storyline is just so unique. Most of the time when we watch something, we know what will happen next because we are used to these kind of plottwists. But the writers did so many crazy things with this drama, I can still remember how shocked I always was because of what was happening right now. I can't summarize the events of this drama, it's impossible. So many things happened. Looking back at how the drama started, it changed so much. The Penthouse begun with the death of MSA and the revenge of her mother SSR. It's still a revenge drama but the storyline changed drastically when all the new characters were added later. Even when the drama got a bit messy in season three (I mean we all were pretty shocked when they confirmed that the drama would have more episodes haha), it's still a masterpiece. Not everything makes sense (especially the 'come-backs' of some characters lol) and some things were really exaggerated, but it suited this drama. I never lost the feeling I had in season one and that's the most important thing for me.
Now let's look at the characters. There are too many to focus on, that's why I'll rather do a summary of them. Funny how this drama doesn't really have leads. Yeah I know, OYH, SSR and CSJ are officially the main leads, but for me there are so many more. Especially our main villain JDT is one of the most important characters. Without him the drama wouldn't even make any sense. Sometimes the kids weren't shown that often, but still, they're also very important characters with each of them having their own storyline and relationships. I could never image The Penthouse without the Hera kids. Even the side characters were really important, so long story short, everyone in this drama was needed. Some characters had their character development, but most of them didn't really change. Understandable, in a drama like this the villains must stay as villains or the whole storyline wouldn't make any sense. Forgiving murders for example is a no-go. Love how the writers didn't change the villains, because if they would, the drama would be really really ridiculous.
(Before y'all come at me, yeah I know most of the characters and the plots are unrealistic and sometimes a bit too much, but for a drama like this I personally never expected the opposite.)
The acting was superb. There were sooo many good actors who did a great job potraying these kind of characters because this isn't easy at all. Sometimes there was a little bit overacting, but overall it was brilliant. Wishing all of them the best and hoping to see more from these actors, especially from the Hera kids.
The music was the highlight of this drama. The dramatic opera music was perfect! I don' think I ever saw a drama where all of the soundtracks were literally masterpieces. The music choice was fantastic.
Rewatching this drama would be exhausting. But I'll probably still do it haha. I really like this genre and this drama is really one of the best out there in dramaland. I loved it from the beginning till the end. I'm pretty sure The Penthouse will be one of those iconic dramas fans will never forget.

Is it worth watching?
-The story is definitely what impressed me the most. You really have to go into this drama expecting anything.-The acting was a little too dramatic and repetitive, a lot of the reactions from the characters were kind of unrealistic.
-I'm not the type to rewatch shows but I will say there are many memorable scenes that are worth rewatching though.
Overall, if you're into k-dramas that are intense with lots of twists and turns you should definitely give this a try. ''Penthouse'' really has a bit of everything romance, crime, mystery,drama.

JUST A FEW WORDS
I beg you, if you liked S2 and S1, I highly recommend you watch this as if it were a standalone. It's amusing to a certain point due to its ridiculousness, you'll feel very frustrated and like a masochist for putting yourself through this but hey, the acting's great and that might distract you from the 100000 senseless story lines. Feeling stressed, watch penthouse 3 :)Anyways I still stand by the fact that this drama would have been taken really seriously and held to the same level as Sky Castle if only they had stopped 2 seasons earlier. I know this is not much of a review but if I went in depth I'd honestly be spoiling the whole drama, so enjoy yourself :)
