Good for a quick and fun binge session!
Overall it wasn't that bad and good enough if you want to binge-watch a short kdrama that doesn't make you think too much and it was quite fun.The story had its clichés and boring sides at times but also at the same time it had its moments that might make you feel giddy. Also, the way it had so much diversity and had people from many different countries so that was something new to watch especially in a show with the typical school setting. The cast consisted of people who've acted before and people whose first acting gig was this one but I think they all pulled off their characters really well. I really enjoyed Youngjae and Minnie's acting since they were the reason I bothered to even watch it.
Not to mention the music was really good, loved the intro song a lot!!
The show had its flaws as well as strengths which grew on me as I watched more episodes. I don't see myself re-watching the whole thing anytime in the future but I might want to watch one or two episodes of it since it's a light and cheerful drama. Also, it's a breath of fresh air that anyone can watch in between watching stressful or shows that have a more heavy topic. So I would give it a 7/10 since I really enjoyed it but I didn't like some parts of it so thus I can't give it a higher score than this.
This series could've ended in one season but it seems like I have to wait for a season two now.

Ridiculously addicting
I am at a loss for words after finishing the last episode and writing this. I've watched this from the beginning and honestly, it's an extremely ridiculous and absurd drama but still, it's lowkey addicting. I think I really enjoyed the chaos and will be missing my weekly dose of craziness but at the same time, I really hate the storyline and the way some characters are written!I definitely wasn't a huge fan of the ending and not even the whole s3. Sometimes it was dragging and the other times it was pacing so fast! The pacing was very bad and the butchered storyline was so annoying but I just have to say one thing which is I've never seen any drama like Penthouse before so props to Penthouse for being one of the craziest kdramas in existence!!
In the end, the writer literally killed off most of the liked characters and the ones who were alive had a character development(?) I really loved our Seokrona couple - was one of my favourite things about this drama and I'm glad they got a good ending.
There were a lot of plot holes and explanations undone such as 'Where is real Dantae/fake Junki?' 'How did Kang Mari see Suryeon in the last episode? She saw a ghost?' 'How did Seojin get out?' 'Where is Hyein?' I think they could've done this way better and the ending wasn't satisfactory but I guess it is what it is.

'The law is imperfect justice'
This show may not be perfect neither did it serve us an outstanding performance of law, thriller or suspense but either way I have to say this show had to be one of my favourites this year! It might be an average law-related drama but it did keep me on the edge of the seat at the ending of every week's last episode. The first few episodes were quite slow-paced probably to try and keep us in suspense and for the whole story to start to fold out later but that didn't keep me from not continuing and I did continue it and trust me the story does get a little faster later.As for the OST, they had a really catchy one for this drama which didn't really go that well with the first few eps but it started matching the overall theme of the episodes later.
And as for the cast, this show really had a great cast and honestly, it had one of the best squads I've seen in kdramas. All of them performed really well and Kim Beom and Ryu Hyeyoung's chemistry was my favourite. Professor Yang was one of my favourite characters in this show - HE IS SO SMART AND A TOTAL BADDIE. Loved his iconic entries and lines!
One thing I really quite didn't enjoy was that the last episode felt like it was rushing to tie all the open knots and give us an end but it ended up making me feel kind of empty because I'm glad we got to see Sol A and Joonhwi's future careers but what about everyone else? Does Bokgi finally get to be a human rights lawyer? How old would Seungjae's child be by now? Is Sol B a judge? Could Yeseul be a legislator? What does Jiho do now? Or even Yebeom? JTBC could've given us maybe one more episode to cover everything else since they never thought about giving us a second season.
Either way, I would give it a 9/10, it was a good one~

Pretty interesting
First of all, I would like to mention that it was a good watch for a drama with 9 episodes. Honestly, I'm pretty confused about the ending but other than that the story was pretty suspenseful with a lot of violence and had its sad or emotional scenes (which may or may not wrench your heart).The acting was really good so kudos to all the actors. The music wasn't anything memorable, it was just enough to create some sorta suspense. The storyline was quite confusing with the revelations and I think I need some explanations from other people so that I can understand better.
While it did fail to wrap up everything, it isn't that bad and pretty much depends on your taste whether you would like it or not so check out the synopsis and content rating then give it a watch! (Please check the trigger warnings then decide whether to watch it or not)

Did not disappoint!
First of all, I would like to mention that I started watching this because of the storyline and I actually really liked it. It would've been nicer if the episodes were a bit more longer. Either way, this has to be one of my favourite web dramas till now!It had good music, good storyline and I overall enjoyed it BUT I think the acting definitely needed some more work. It felt a bit awkward at times but since they all are pretty new to acting and the acting was bearable I didn't mind it much.
This is definitely a must-watch if you would like to watch a short web drama.

You can avoid flying knives, but you can’t avoid hidden ones
Review: South Korean series ‘Vincenzo’This has to be one of the best series I have watched. The cinematography and everything were impressive. The storyline was smoothly played out without any disappointments. The unpredictable twists and turns were what kept me on the edge of my seat every episode. The plot is not only masterful but the comedic timing at every turn, keeps you wanting more content. I liked this show because it features a female character who represents everything patriarchal society disapproves of - she’s loud, outspoken, persistent, etc and doesn’t hesitate to make herself visible in a crowd. What I love most is that the plot didn’t go follow the evil to morally good cliche, instead, the protagonist aka Vincenzo justifies his existence as someone who uproots evil when the law is not sufficient to punish the monsters which makes the show even more unique. This doesn't also mean that Vincenzo is a hero, he's an anti-hero. As per him, he is trash who can't stand the trash that smells worse than him.
This drama shows us that there are instances where justice should and can be served mercilessly in a so evil world nowadays. The whole show truly lived up to its genre, which is ‘dark comedy’ and focused on their motto “only evil can punish evil” and I believe they’ve delivered it perfectly.
The cast indubitably performed so well that I could feel the emotions going on in every scene. Until the last scene, they unquestionably did a great job.
It’s a must-watch series - 10/10, will recommend it to everyone.
