Kdrama Review - The Penthouse

 

I can't believe how shocking this kdrama was. This is basically a turkish series in a kdrama form AND I LOVED IT.

The residents of Hera Palace, a luxury penthouse apartment with 100 floors, have many secrets and hidden ambitions. Sim Su Ryeon, who was born into wealth, is the queen of the penthouse apartment. Cheon Seo Jin, the prima donna of the residence, does all she can to give everything to her daughter. Oh Yoon Hee comes from a poor family background, but she strives to enter high society by becoming the queen of the penthouse, the pinnacle of success in her eyes. A battle for wealth, power, and prestige at Seoul’s most coveted penthouse begins.

 Genres: Thriller, Mystery, Drama

Y'all, I don't even know where to start. This show is insane. Basically one of the first scenes in episode 1 is a girl falling to her death and a woman witnessing it. Everything that happens afterwards is somehow connected to that moment. And I really mean that EVERYTHING happens: betrayal, murder, cheating (lots of kinds of cheating 😂), bullying, psychopatic behaviour, greed...I don't think there's a crime that hasn't been commited in this show 😅


^this guy plays a psychopath PERFECTLY, he's just so creepy

The cast is superb, honestly I hated most of them with a burning passion of a thousand suns but that just means that they did their job well. These people are despicable, constantly doing evil things for their own gain, not once thinking about others.

It can get frustrating but there's always this one person who carries the show, one person you can root for.

I'd recommend this to anyone who loves a good scandal, drama and scheming. There's a new plot twist at the end of every episode and you won't be able to stop watching. Not only that,this show also has 2 more seasons and I plan on watching them both so expect more reviews on this topic later :D
