FRICK! when I say I managed to cry every single episode I really mean it.... You cannot tell me you weren't emotionally shocked by all the plot twists and the content in each episode. I mean like each episode had so many details and would take a different direction. In general 2 was better than 1, I think. This is why I think so:

SEOK HOON AND RONA
I think I live and die for this couple. They definitely had cuter and more moments, which is one of the main reasons I liked 2 more. I will say I definitely cried very hard when he found out she was alive and went to go see her T_T. But also like WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO EAT THE GODDAMN PASTA.... jeez

JENNY BECAME A HOMIE
There was some serious character development in Jenny that I absolutely loved. I didn't really like her before because she seemed like she didn't really have her own opinion and that she just went with what everyone else did. She then strayed away from the Hera palace kids and became Rona's friend. I didn't like that she didn't understand/got mad at Rona for what her mom did and that it was her fault that her mom was in prison. Even so, if she didn't react that way it would seem "weird" since she's so close with her mom. Speaking of her mom, their cute relationship got deeper from Ma Ri's job getting exposed and I felt a stronger connection between the two.

seok kyung
I always really liked the twins, but seok kyung changed a lot in this season. I think she voiced out her opinions even more and expressed what she wanted to. We also got to see a softer and more emotional side of her when she met up with her mom again. The end was really cute when she helped Rona unpack her things and when she stood up for her against Min Hyuk and Jenny. Also apparently she cut her hair because no one (her mom) was there to tie it for her..... that made me sad every time I saw her. Seok Kyung also played a more important role. In season 1 it was obvious that among the twins Seok Hoon had a bigger role. But in season 2 she used her own ways to play around with Cheon Seo Jin and collected her own information.

DR.HA
he is one of my favourite characters. I ached for him because his life got so much more difficult in season 2. Like someone help this man he needs a therapist or smth. The only thing I'm confused of is when/how did he survive when Dan Tae threw him into the water... like WTF. But his and Yoon Hee's dramatic entrance at the wedding will forever be iconic. I'm so happy he chose right in the end. AND SINCE WHEN WAS HE RONA'S DAD.

there's so many other things that make the penthouse superior like the music, acting, casting, guests, I could go on forever but I ain't gonna be here typing all day so that's all I'll write. I can't wait for season 3 someone get me another tissue box.
