literally just sky castle, vip, and world of married (MAJOR SPOILERS IN SKY CASTLE AND PENTHOUSE)
I kinda rate this drama as 50/50 (if that's how you say it) anyways first of all this drama focuses on high-class families and about getting into prestigious high schools then getting a student get murdered. Well, I have watched Sky Castle already and so I can say that Penthouse just tried to be Sky castle. I will now be comparing SKy Castle and Penthouse, first of all, these two have so much in common except for these parents having an affair, the most common thing about it is the prestigious school and a high school murder. Let me get to the point eventually in Sky Castle there's also a "Seola" in there, a girl in Sky castle also is an orphan, dies because of getting adults threatened, and then their parents find out about them being their child after the child dies. Then we have VIP and world of married which applies adults having affairs and yeah idk anymore LOL
I'm not into family dramas too much but anyway I think this drama is too much, I don't know if the director did this because they hate high-class families or because Korea is getting out of hand too much, oh and Korea is actually high on suicide cases, and mental issues due to strict parents, school, and netizens. (And also the fact that this is trending in Korea?)
The acting here is lacking but the main roles did so much, Suryeon was a very interesting character honestly I skipped half of this drama because of how annoying and boring it is and the only parts that I did not skip is Suryeon's parts (Also the kids because I'm into high school dramas). Seojin's acting was very good she stood out the most to me. The kids' acting was a bit bland but of course, Seokyoung's acting stood out the most to me. The drama was just full of screaming and throwing a tantrum for no reason it's annoying, I get that it's to make their acting immersive(?) but like there's no need for that it's a waste of time it's not like somethings gonna change. The drama just lacks common sense and too dramatic.
Anyways I don't really think there was a reason for this to have 21 episodes, I think there were just too many characters leading to so many subplots that did not even matter and a waste of time comedy.
Would I recommend it? Depends on your taste, but personally sure give it a try. Would I rewatch it? No, as I said I skipped half of this drama.
