Mind-blowing and insane
The first season of Penthouse never failed to amaze me. How each episode ended always kept me at the edge of my seat even with the cliffhangers, which was a great way to keep the interest of the viewers. The script was also good in this drama. This drama made me feel intense emotions which was overwhelming, that's why I think it's not suited for people who can't handle heavy dramas. While it was a heavy drama that would make you angry, frustrated, and stressed, the writers used characters (mainly Kyujin's and his family) as comedic relief (even though he's quite annoying sometimes) to balance out the emotions. Although I think Kyujin's character was just there for comedic purposes and does not actually contribute largely to the plot.
As the story progressed, it exposed more of the characters' evil actions outside their contributions to Seol A's death, which stretched out the story to give Sim Su Ryeon more reason to continue her revenge to each and every character that wronged her. I also like how they smartly planned out Sim Su Ryeon's revenge. They did a great job in building the story up to the biggest plot twist that is the main culprit of Min Seol A's death - revealing that a 'nice' person like Oh Yoon Hee could be just as evil. They showed how every person could be selfish in many ways to get what they want.
One particular thing that I didn't like was how they excluded some scenes with Oh Yoon Hee and Bae Rona that showed their sweet mother-daughter moments. They made it look like Rona was mostly a brat and an ungrateful child. I also think how the Hera club kids bullied Seol A was overly exaggerated just for it to be an event that contributes to her eventual death. Even some of their bullying scenes were over-the-top and unnecessary too.
Penthouse had without a doubt one of the best cast. Individually, each character was portrayed very well by the actors. Specifically, I would like to commend Kim So Yeon's acting performance here. Likewise, Choi Yebin and Han Jihyun also showed commendable acting performances, almost like they were not rookie actors then. Together, the actors had amazing chemistry as friends, lovers, and as family.
Overall, this drama was a stressful yet exciting and mind-blowing one. You will never know what to expect as the story progresses.
