From the first episode of The Penthouse alone, I can already make parallels. Rich families living in an exclusive property, two students who are competing for one goal, a highly-esteemed teacher, and so on.

•Both have secrets.
• Rich and Powerful people.
• Woman takes stands for eachother.
But I prefer Mine better cuz Penthouse 1 was so new and exciting others part were too but not in comparison with 1st one. Mine has its own suspense and thrill but it's leaa stressful as they all aren't that cruel to kill anyone who gets into their path. Women are rivals at first but for their child and family they team up and support eachother, penthouse lack this. Mine is funny, emotional and sweet, penthouse has these qualities too but for me Mine >>>>>Penthouse.

I will say that even the plot is not similar but it will give you the penthouse vibes
Rich people will do anything for their greed
Upper class parents especially mothers will try their best even illegally for classy education for their children.
Both of these dramas will keep you on the edge its a one time watch (as penthouse has 3 seasons so it has more episodes to understand the plot)
Recommended by Selby Thomas
These dramas are very similar. Both are in a class society. Both have mystery deaths. In both, the dead may not be dead after all. Lots of secrets and crazy plot twists to be revealed in both. In both, the female lead has a love interest with a mysterious man under a hidden identity that will help them a lot in revenge and fall in love.

... i recommend you watch this before you watch s3 just for context... it's basically the first season of the series, and if you watch this before s3 you'll understand the characters' more and the plot will make more sense to you than watching s3 before s1

Similar in these aspects:

- Both are heavily character driven
- Lots and lots of drama as people are constantly trying to tear each other down!
- Notable underlying theme of high vs low society
- Depicts those who are willing to do anything to rise to the top
- Beautifully symbolic
- Several murder cases
- Psychological and suspenseful

both execute how money can change people and include murders. both have makjang elements and have the same actor uhm ki joon.

Both the stories are based on the the rich wealthy and top societies tormenting and tyrannize the vulnerable and weak ones and the how planned and executed the revenge against them is.
The victims had their whole life bet on getting the revenge against the perpetrators. It also shows how one can make one’s life miserable and living hell when they have nothing to loose. In my opinion I think they have a similar genre.

Recommended by Goth_Loli
The plot is similar where the innocent people become the victim and killed. The revenge of the right people to fight back is almost the same. Plot twist too.
