YESSS. ALL OF THIS. With some of the other commenters I wonder if we are all watching the same drama.
As I said, it could make a good story, but not a love story.
Watch drama like Love Story In Harvard for that. ;-)

Honestly, this is just my general impression, and I'm not an expert on this drama, I've forgotten many parts already. Consider I could be wrong because I missed something.

Her first love is now a thing of the past. However, where I really doubt the veracity of the story is that she chooses Hye Young. After seeing this case many times IRL, the second guy who was used as a tool is also rejected because there was never the spark of love with him. It is an unknown person who appears in life. If I were to redo the ending of the drama, I would also fail the story with Hye Young. I would stage in the last episode a meeting with another man. Without taking the time to develop if it is the last episode, but leaving enough clues to make the mutual attraction between this man and Jojo clear.

On Love Alarm Season 2 Mar 24, 2021
Acidic summary:

Jojo meets true love with Sun-Ho. The kind of thing that makes you anxious, makes your eyes twitch, takes away your appetite, and drives you crazy in general. Unfortunately, they are both too immature. The guy play dirty, while the girl is afraid to face her feeling because her inability to solve her inner conflict in time. It's over, love story fail.
End of the story. Which is acceptable.

But then, this is the fun part. The girl is going to use the 2nd guy as a backup plan to take time to think about her problems. Which she's not likely to do, since there's no incentive for her to do that anyway. There's no love spark, but she can still use the guy as a tool, and that's a good comfort zone. This guy is just as selfish as the other guy in another way, and he hangs on like a puppy, seeing clearly that for 4 years the girl doesn't care and isn't moving forward in her life. She's even more selfish because she needs at least someone next to her, but if she really loved him, she would have at least given him a kiss, which she doesn't fail to do every time the other guy comes back to see her, when he certainly should have let go as well considering how irrational the poor girl is. But I understand them, it's Kim So-Hyun, what man really has a choice?

Finally, she doesn't need to listen to what her heart says (her real love alarm), she can cheat the fake love alarm and proudly declare, like a modern and empty girl, that she made a choice. Has this ever happened to you? I'm single, it can't last any longer. I'm just going to go to my building concierge and declare that I've made the choice to meet love. She's a lovely and helpful woman, I'll make my confession to her. That way, at least, I'll be less lonely.

End of story: the girl stays with her backup plan, refuses to find love in her life and becomes an avatar of Madame Bovary. To make the message more clear : Sun Ho stay too with his backup plan. I'm fine with that too, and it's also a story that works. Gustave Flaubert was very successful with Madame Bovary.

The number of events and plot twists per episode reaches a score rarely reached in dramaland. I am unable to list…
- The fight between So-Jin and Eun Byul, which ends in a crying fit. It was a striking scene.
- As already anticipated for a long time, Yoon Chul learns who his daughter was. A scene where the actor can give everything he has to be torn.
- The scene when So-Jin learn her father helped her.
- The scenes between So-Jin and Dan-Tae. So-Jin is literally tamed by Dan-Tae, like a foolish and disobedient mare. She can resist as she can, Dan-Tae has unlimited power and brutality, this only leads to the inevitable escalation. If she thought she could get out of it by getting angry or making big eyes, she knocked on the wrong door.
- So-Jin is forced to do the housework, all the maids have been fired. That's why I think the only woman for Joo Dan Tae was the mad maid, the only woman crazy enough to submit to him completely. The problem is that the character likes to exercise his power, and he needs people who resist him to better crush them.
- The majority of the characters pay dearly for their former faults.

The story foreshadows an almost general coalition against Joo Dan-Tae. And even an alliance between former enemies to bring him down.

I lost track of Joo Dan-Tae's motivations a bit. This character has disconnected himself from any human connection. The last one left are his children, his last emotional motivation. But his children are ready to betray him.

She's skinny!!! All her baby fat on her face is gone!!! The assassin twins have more fluffy cheeks than her!!!…
She's far more pretty with her baby fat face (as you say). Love alarm S2, or previous dramas, like "While you were sleeping". In love alarm S1, we can see how it's dommageable to be skinny about her beauty. And it's the same for many others actress, as they get older, they try to excessively loose weight. Sadly, they loose weight and their beauty too.

Since almost all the characters who are supposed to be dead are not (tsssss), I think Yang Mi Ok (the mad maid…
Perhaps the most severe punishment for him. He is powerless, he can no longer exercise his power over anyone. Instead, he is mothered by a crazy maid/nurse. She can make him do anything she wants. Punish him like a child. Or drug him if she has to. But for that, the mad maid has to understand that this is the only way she can have him forever. Otherwise, she would be submissive again and he could use her to escape.

She could play with his nerves, make him think she's going to obey him, then say:
MM - no, only here you will agree to live our love.
DT - but I don't love you, you crazy woman, I'll kill you, as soon as I get out of here I'll kill you.
MM - no matter how long it takes, I know you will love me one day.
DT - Aaaaaaraaahhhhh.
MM - He open his mouth like a good boy to take his pill.
DT - Aaarrhh GLOUP (forced to swallow)
MM - There, now we're going to have a big hug.
DT - (Slime drip)

I laughed so hard when Seojin was cutting onions while Jo dan te watching her :D
I don't know if you've been paying attention, but in the holding room, there were several maid outfits. I think it's a shame that So-Jin was not in maid's clothing, on top of that. :-D

Like seriously, I have been thinking of that, film writing is my major, but whoever that wrote penthouse is simply…
The scriptwriter Kim Soon Ok has a very great experience. She has written many very long dramas (many episodes). And often dramas that have crazy ratings. She also caused some scandals, like with her drama "Temptation of wife". The Korean government almost imposed stricter censorship rules. But finally it did not do anything because the ratings of this drama were too high. People love this kind of immoral story. Compared to other authors who wrote daily makjang dramas, Kim Soon Ok's dramas have a strong structure. It's not written on the fly. Besides, weekly makjang dramas also have a structure.
For a long time, there has been a sense of irony in Kim Soon Ok's dramas, and dark humor. But since Last Empress, she has reached a new stage in the delirium, sometimes producing self-parodying scenes or plots of her own style. And the pace of her dramas has accelerated. Penthouse is very fast-paced.
Myself I'm writer too, but amator one, I've no project to make it professional. You can check my profile if you want. There is link to my work.

well, next season maybe worse as there are rumours that S3 is going to be one episode per week.
Maybe because they want to air it more sooner. So, it won't be preproduced and episodes shot during broadcast.

Nice explanation. Actualy, if it's this, it's a brillant idea.
JDT turned a woman according his wish, to replace the one he want.

Yeah honestly I was kinda disappointed. I didn’t think they’d really pull off the YC is RN’s real dad thing.…
You can do that in a makjang, even more a "crack makjang".
It's part of the fun, and the self parody genre.

Is it just me or the surprising factors of ep10 isnt exactly exciting? Like the whole Yoonchul / Bae Rona real…
For me, main thing that make just a little bit flat is the return of dead people. I have difficulty to follow Yoon-Hee too. She act sometimes, like if she know her daugther is alive.

RIGHT LOLOL the way we are getting smarter and smarter and thinking like the writers now
Now I prefer not read fan theory, and even don't think about the drama, so I can be surprised. :-)
I'm watching Sisyphus too, but here, writers are two steps ahead of audience. Even when you think hard about the drama, you can't decypher all the mysteries.
