the penthouse really said “let’s make everything worse” ?
honestly, season 3 was a complete mess… but somehow i still enjoyed watching it. 😭 the plot got SO ridiculous at times and there were definitely moments where i was like “be serious rn” but i was still sitting there waiting for the next episode.
the biggest problem for me was that it felt like the writers were just trying to outdo themselves every episode. deaths, betrayals, revenge, plot twists… everything was turned up to 100 and eventually some of it stopped having the same impact. i also think the pacing was kinda all over the place, especially towards the end.
BUT the cast absolutely carried this drama. the acting was insane, especially during the more emotional scenes. even when the writing was questionable, the actors somehow made me care about what was happening. the music was also really good and fit the dramatic atmosphere perfectly.
would i recommend it? honestly… if you survived seasons 1 and 2, you might as well finish it 😭. it’s chaotic, over-the-top and definitely not perfect, but it’s entertaining as hell. i wouldn’t call it the best k-drama ever, but i can’t lie, the penthouse had me INVESTED.
