Crazy Things In Penthouse Which Attracts More And More Viewers Towards It.
1. The Extreme Thrill. |
The thrill this series gives to the viewers is a never-ending saga from the very first episode of the first season till the end. The scene in which Cheon Seo Jin left her father to die and came back home and played the piano in an insanely psychotic manner was really praised by the viewers. It showed us the psychopathic and inhumane side of Cheon Seo Jin.
Almost every crime was elaborated well without missing on any things and was packed up well. There were several other scenes in this drama where the cast and crew have done really praiseworthy jobs.
2. The Confident Females. |
The females of this series also have that dark and brave energy around them. All the females of this series have more or fewer relationships with Joo Dan Tae. Shim Su Ryeom was his wife whereas Cheon Seo Jin and Oh Yoon Hee were his mistresses for a short period of time. And each of the females has sources for wealth, fame, and power for themselves which didn't really let them go down and keep on fighting for power.
3. The Hidden Identity Of Several Characters. |
As the mystery reveals more and more hidden relationships and identities and new characters surface on the screen. Hidden identities like Logan lee as Gu Ho Dong, Shim Su Reyon as Na Ae Gyo, Baek Jun Ki as Joo Dan Tae. Hidden relationships like Min Seol A and Seok Kyung as twins, Min Seol A as Shim Su Reyon's biological daughter, Na Ae Gyo and Jung Doo Man's relationship, Ha Yoon Chul as Bae Ro Na's biological father, and many more.
4. The Best Plot And quality |
And of course, undeniably this drama has one of the best qualities in the entire k-drama industry. The plot was also well elaborated and well written, But the plot of reviving the dead was said to be unnecessary and used too much. Like Bae Ro Na was back from death, Joo Hye In was also back from death, Ha Eun Byol was back from death too and Logan Lee is back too. Although some of the tags were overused, overall this is a great makjang drama.
5. The necessary comedy on point |
As a Makjang drama having a comedy plot would be considered useless. But the crew and cast of this drama have just kept it so on point. The funniest scene of this drama was when they were in the prison and Cheon Seo Jin pretended to have a mental illness in order to get out from there.
6. The unpredictable plots. |
The plotline of this drama is a real rollercoaster ride, betrayal, crimes, mental disorder, murder, birth secrets, hidden identities, and what not?
This makjang drama will surely make your blood boil. Keep your tissues, ice water, stress ball ready!!
So are you planning on watching Penthouse? OR Are you watching it already? | Best of luck! Hope you enjoy it!! |
