'THE PENTHOUSE' makes my blood boil hot! It's just, there's still one stellar QUEEN to root for!
STORY:
I don't have anything to say about the story! It's top notch crazy, ridiculous and convenient. The author really loves to play with us, and doesn't let the nice people get a little rest, a fresh air, everything is directed towards absolute doom!
BUT, amidst this mess, there are quite a few characters, a few scenes that I really really loved, and I can assure you, these are mostly all the good qualities, this PENTHOUSE drama has, from the beginning.
Characters & Themes That I LOVED:
Shim Soo Ryun: The only character since the beginning that I've been rooting for %100, and really really hoped she will be HAPPY, for a while at the very least!
Na Ae Gyo: I could only admire the bravery of this woman! she is such a cool character, more screen-time please, I love her :)))
Lee Ji Ah does an outstanding job portraying her, the character that looks exactly like Shim Soo Ryun, yet opposite the calm personality of hers.
Min Sol A: Okay, so I can't seem to hold my emotions in check whenever she appears on screen, her acting, her words, she just gets me instantly, to give me the blurry eyes, I really can't stop tearing up! Jo Soo Min did amazing job, such a talented young actress <3
Ro Na and Yoon Hee's scenes, and some of the other kids scene [Jenny, Seok Kyung & Seok Hoon] when it's involving their moms also gets me very emotional. It's very well done in this season too, especially Jenny & Her Mom.
THOSE ABOVE are the only reason I can continue watching this ridiculous inferno full of whining, jealousy and hate and not at all a positive message in it's core! The few moments with those characters are truly the only saving grace!
The other characters? They can go to hell, or anywhere. I don't care. they make my blood boil too much! Especially a specific jerk, who is such a tough shell to crack!
MUSIC/ VISUALS: Nothing intriguing to mention, they kept the luxury-feeling visuals, and displaying the grandness of the Hera Palace. The music contributes greatly to hype up the climax moments in a fantastic way, especially the main theme "Penthouse' by Kim Jun Seok, with the segment that goes like " Haa......haaa....... haaa......... haaaaaaa... aaa' tho some pieces gets repetitive towards the end, but that piece still does the job of giving you the goosebumps
Overall: I have a love-hate opinion of this show, and I hope the 3rd reason gives us an epic conclusion to see justice served well. If not, I will feel especially betrayed!
8.0/10 -Watch only at your own risk, and if you can handle the biggest mess only getting worse ever!
