A bunch of lunatic people living in mental illness hospital called Penthouse

I am serious, how could this got 8.7 rating? I love psycological dramas and watched "the glory" and "its ok to not be ok", their story still a bit realistic and there are some value/lessons we got.

But Penthouse just full of lunatic people screaming and yelling to each other, eyes wide opened, tantrum with chaos illogical unrealistic plot.

Its like watching people fighting in the boxing ring but without rules. So i should say Penthouse is a mental illness hospital.

Not worth more than 1ep. I mean it and this is the first and only drama i give 1 rating in my life, just to warn people to be ready getting mental illness after watching this.

I've already tried hard to watch this, but really. really. can't bear to proceed on.

There're something really wrong with this drama for sure. I have tried to watch it for 3 times in the time span of approximately 2 years. For the first two times, I couldn't finish even a full episode. For the 3rd time, I determined to watch ep1 to the end and be done with it, forever!

I didn't know until just before watching for the 3rd time that this drama is an adaptation of a famous novel by Tong Hua, the author who wrote Scarlet Heart and Ballad of the Desert that I like pretty much. I enjoyed watching the drama adaptation of those two novels without even reading the original books.

So... whatever is wrong with this drama I don't think it's the fault of the original works at all. The production team just fails everyone.

(1) Starting from the bad plot and script - super draggy, lots of unnecessary scenes. There're 54 episodes in total to waste people's time, but I don't want to waste my life with it even with the 2x speed. If I had to invest my time watching this, I think it'd be more worthwhile and leave me a better impression of the story if I spent it with the book instead. The total time would be the same or even shorter.

(2) Apart from the plot... the acting of the main leads is so out of place. Victoria never improves her acting skills up to the bar, I would say. Her latest work I had a glance on is Find Yourself, which is the drama that introduces and makes me like Song Wei Long - I had to drop it after finishing ep11, though. Let me say it once more, I had really tried with that one as well. The FL's brother and her admirer in Find Yourself also acted really well. But the good acting of all these actors (at least three) surrounding her couldn't make me stick to the drama. She is so annoying to watch. She tries to act cute all the time in all dramas I've watched her, and she can't make it look natural. So instead, she looks awkward and pretentious. Here, in A Life Time Love, has the same problem - acting cute, unnatural and awkward - but for this one, it's not just one person but both the FL and ML do that. My, gosh... Especially the ML, I think he's about 10 years older than Victoria. So, when Victoria acts cute and doesn't work, think about him acts cute - anyone can imagine it would work?? He already looks quite advanced on his age and his physique is very muscular, yet he pretends to be a little cutie pie!?? They look so silly together and this silliness isn't a compliment.

(3) The production in general looks low-budget. The sets are not convincing, thus can't get me absorbed at all. The forest is fake. The rock mountain is fake. The fire is fake. The FL's jump into the ML's embrace due to the explosion of the volcano look fake for both the set and the acting.

I'm done with this drama, will not ever try to watch it again. And I'm done with Victoria as well. There're quite a few dramas of hers coming up with prominent MLs like Luo Yi, Xu Kai, Wang Yi Bo and even Rain! But the experience teaches me to not waste my time with her works anymore. Her acting truly isn't my cup of tea. I think I have to admit that I can't bear with her.

P.S. I've watched an impressive work of the ML before this. If anyone watches him for the first time and feels along with me here, maybe you might want to give him another chance with Nirvana in Fire 2 (you don't need to watch season 1 before watching season 2). That one is a work well done in all aspects.

Such a disappointment. If you came because of the novel or manhua, don't waste your time...

I was looking foward to this adaptation because I am currently reading its manhua version. I like the characters and, specially, the art! So I was really excited to watch this.

But... Unfortunately, I was let down big time.

I didn't think that the actress playing our FL managed to portray the character's vibe, aura and beauty. Lin Yu Jing is supposed to be the type of girl that is just so pretty that it's impossible to pass by unnoticed. But Sabrina Zhuang just played her as a moody teenager. I didn't really feel the etheral beauty queen vibe from her at all.

Moving on from our FL, we get Shen Juan, who was supposed to be a tattoo artist... And the drama transformed him into a silver artisan or something? And then those fighting scenes out of nowhere really made this more childish than it was supposed to be. I am way too old to be watching a supposed teenager single handely fight off an entire gang and still win, unscarred. Sure, there's similar scenes in the manhua (and novel probably), but Zhou Yi Ran's body type and stature aren't convincing at all. What's more, those fights start with no reason what so ever. On the first episode alone there's like two scenes. What's the point? Oh, sure, it's just to show how our ML is simply Chuck Norris's son himself. Seriously...

I didn't even manage to finish the first episode, I was afraid the amount of times I was rolling my eyes was unhealthy.

Nice one

A good story , actually it has happened when we impress by some character and we all the time think about them and when the character has full contol over our brain so sometime we think ourself as that character or we dream all the time about that character. This thing had been shown in the drama.
Male lead in the drama was an actor who played the role of a teacher and his student was a princess . So female lead in the drama was an actress who played the role of that student , this student loved his teacher but due to differences in status they can't be together this was sad so when the male lead had an accident he assumed himself as teacher and treat female lead as his student . He got his memory back when they about to marry that was the teacher wanted a happy ending . So when he regain his memory he forgot the female lead and then what would happened how they again met this had been shown further .
I like second lead chemistry more than the first lead .their chemistry was good .
I wish second leads do drama together as main leads.

very annoying FL

i did not watch the whole thing and i don't think i will be able to. i watched 2 episodes and i'm already so annoyed by the FL. she made a man kill himself and helped a golddigger get bigger. i really need her to stop acting like the victim. i started this show because i got pulled in by the synopsis of the drama. i nasty boss falls down, the employee she abused rises. she ends up working for him. he gets his revenge. i haven't seen any revenge so far and i'm afraid we won't see any. even after the ML became her superior on the workfloor she still acts like before, there is no change. she has no respect for him whatsoever. i get that they are trying to give it a comedy touch but i can't laugh with her character not after what she did. not after she literally called the people under her dogs. she treated them like slaves. i'm giving this one more episode if the revenge doesn't start by then it will never start. i doesn't have to be revenge. i atleast want her to start respecting her superior and treat her co workers right. she is still talking to them like she is their superior and i honestly don't understand why they are taking her bullshit.

i watched the first two episodes then i jumped to the end -_-
i watched it on the fast forward button

i figured out the whole story.. it was so predictable

OMG this is a very sad bad end for all parties :\ T_T
so frustrating
i hated dramas at that period cause misery was it's title

please dear writers ... YOU SHOULD KNOW ... we watch dramas for two main reasons
HAPPY ENDING or even hoping in happy one ... & BAD GUYS get punishment

you shouldn't simulate reality with it's shit cause we already lived in
i can't stand all that bleak it was over dose for me ... thanks >_<

Lots of things go the wrong way, esp. those about medical details.

I'm not quite sure how to start with this, but I need to rant it out at least a bit. Most parts in this series seem to be touched by the wrong hands.

Let's not talk about the medical details which are the main and biggest problem here anymore, but the main character like Linlada. It's so annoying to watch this character. She looks pretentious both because of her kind-of-WOKE's selfish attitude and her acting skills.

What is WOKE kind of selfish attitude here, let me clarify a bit - she acts like she's a good person/philanthropist/good Samaritan in spite of being actually opposite to being helpful at all. For example, she's very slow in examining the patients - too slow with unneccesary examining procedure such as checking the eyes of the patient who comes in with the symptom of coughing.... You get how irrelevant this is? And you get my meaning when I mentioned that let's not talk about medical details anymore? There're too many profession-related mistakes to the point that let's not talk about it because wherever you touch it, it's all wrong. So, let's go back to examining too slow - after she finishes her shift and meets her friend who finishes his work before her at the break room, she initiates to reprimand that friend that he examines too fast it can't be thorough which can be disadvantageous to the patients...... Hellow? It's you, Linlada, who is the problem, not your friend.

If you watch this series for an episode, I think you can get what kind of self-centered viewpoint I say that Linlada has. And if you watch it for an episode, I think you can also get how annoyingly pretentious kind of WOKE attitude I say Linlada has. And the actress's acting skills don't help the character at all. Her acting makes Linlada look like a jealous loser, not a FL. Due to her annoying character design, I wasn't sure she was really a FL until I come here and see she pops up on the 1st order on the cast list.

By the way, not only this actress who is amateur. I actually disatisfy with the acting skills of all main characters except one who is acceptable (Best). Just that Lindala's the 1st in the order so I talk about her first and foremost, and then I don't think I would talk about other aspects/actors/actresses anymore. After ranting out a bit, I feel that talking about this is also a time waster. Let's sum up that it's another Thai drama that disappoints me.

I actually havent watched the show. Just wanted to be first to review. Im waiting for the first episode to come out. I have watched all the trailers and i am excited. So im just writing more because there needs to be 500 characters to post my review. You can watch other chinese shows like loving never forgetting, well dominated love, birghtest star in the sky, pretty man, count your lucky stars, the romance of the fox and the rose, go ahead. If you are here reading my review you have probably watched most or maybe all of these dramas listed above. And here my review comes to an end hopefully. And i actually know the main female lead in this drama from the romance of the tiger and the rose.i will come and edit after i watched the drama.

I tried my best and couldn't watch past ep3.

Maybe the casts not appealing enough or maybe the story line not strong enough to captivate viewers like me to continue. The male lead should be portrayed robotic and innocent but somehow portrayed as cold and lonely. There is also lack of even a trace of science or sci-fi elements that a basic robot and human drama should have.

The first episode was still fine as the story was building up and how Jiang Meng Yan and Lin Mo Bai met. Then the FL was pursuing the ML and..... it just didn't bring anymore drive to continue.

No attractive guy on the poster...

On this lakorn's poster, there's quite large group of people to be honest, but the main center belongs to Thisa Varitthisa. Sadly, there is no attractive guy on the poster with her. Someone who is there is probably Oil Thana, who is unrecognizable after those lakorns from 13 years ago I remember him from. There's Mai Nonthapun, who is cute, but he's in a side-role.

Tags for this lakorn list Investigation, Revenge, Murder, Sisters' Relationship, Police Department, Death, Marriage Of Convenience... Geez, sounds like everything I am NOT interested in, lol. But, sometimes I surprisingly like a series that is not my favorite genre. So, I always try the 1st episode, at least...

And? It seemed to be filled with scenes I usually skip, only this time there's not really anything here to skip TO. Someone else called this "nice investigation-action drama" and while I admit that it's not my cup of coffee, still even if it was, then honestly Thailand isn't the country I would go to for such themed dramas, those don't seem to be their best. I stick mostly with romance/comedy lakorns.

Roy Arkart won't be my thing, I knew after 1 episode already. It did not offer me any eye candy and there was nothing to cheer me up amongst the murder investigation I did not care about.
