Trigger warning:Bullying
*Don't watch this if you are sensitive.It deals with sensitive issues and has this whole unsettling vibes.Penthouse can definitely make you angry easily so pls watch out for that as well*
This was a much needed binge marathon for me.I have been away from kdrama scene for a while now.Though,i have tried watching many other shows(leaving it in the middle) this one caught my attention and it did not disappoint me at all.My attention span doesn't allow me to watch anything for long hours but this was something else,something i absolutely needed.I started this on a whim.The first five episode was intense so much that I had to take a break.I dont know if any show made me hate so many characters at the same time.All the time i was like- rich people doing rich shit
The first five episode kinda set the tone for the whole series it's based on - in this case the death of a student and the mother trying to take revenge for the same.
The whole time I was screaming for these people to go to therapy(and then to jail?) . Everyone's mental health was going down the hill.
The acting was top notch! They did a fabulous job in this department, From kids to adults everyone did an awesome work. I was extensively reading articles to see whether Kim soyeon, Lee Ji ah and Eugene hate each other offscreen as well lmao, I can't help it looked so real(They are good friends in real life so it's okay)
Some of the things I won't lie was very exaggerating because see, as much as you try it's not easy to cover up so much. Though it was over the top- it still was better at executing the whole thing.
Overall I'll say if you don't like intense show with rich people doing rich shit, then don't watch it. Also it can mess up your mind a little because watching this you will definitely be annoyed with all the Dumbass thing (crime) they are doing. It literally made me so angry that I had to find something else to balance it out lol.
But, if you love watching a full length drama with crazy twist and turns and something that will keep you on your toes till the end, then you should watch this.
This was definitely different than a lot of kdramas I have watched so I'm happy with it.
