The Penthouse: War in Life

I have read some of these reviews and I am not exactly sure why so many people are so emotional about it lol and you can tell they have only watched a few episodes on a show that has hour long episodes with 2 parts and 3 seasons. I admit like any good drama it can make you angry when your favourite characters dont win but theres also reasons for certain build ups and judging by the comments I am not sure alot of you have watched to the most recent episode. Regardless this is one of the best dramas I have ever watched ... American dramas could never . No seriously I have watched alot of drama and this is by far the best. I am constantly engaged in the plot and every episode answers your questions as well as gives you many more. The cinematography is beautiful and their sets are so nice. Even the music took me a while to get used to but it adds to the intensity and the tension and the show even made me like oprah music lmao I even recognize the music in other films... The actors & actresses also do an amazing job minus a few ( but what shows arent like that ) either way I am waiting patiently for episode 10!

I originally rated this a 10 but the bullying is going on too much and is teaching children who watch this series it's ok to bully.

Rich people can be so nasty and why do they hit their employees?

I was not here to recommend this show to anyone. I just want to review my opinion on this show.

It's freakingly dark, freakingly irritating, and also freaking epic. How can there is no likable characters expect Su Ryeon in entire main cast. It's unbelievable. Also I had a little crush on Ro-Na, but it's not about her character.

Womens screaming and framing for murder throughout the drama. Even it's unsettling, it still has its own epicness. That's why drama elements levels portrayed at its best. So its a 10.

This high-life Korean drama reminds you of all those bloodstained knife nightmares, that end with an abrupt fall from a high place , or more precisely Puccini's TOSCA......which coincidentally contains ALL these details! Though Penthouse's melodrama is scarcely believable, I'm still watching, since it's compulsive, with Mozart's Queen of the Night and Verdi's sumptuous Sempre Libera (La Traviata) thrown in, though I'm genuinely skeptical mere16-year-old students could master the tacitura. Pity really that Tosca's not got Soprano solos, like "E lucivan le stelle" for Tenor. Penthouse, nonetheless owes much to Kabuki and Greek Drama (Euripides, Sophocles, Aeschylus), whose long-forgotten audiences were frightened equally by awe-inspiring events that often shocked in juxtaposing good/evil, rich/poor, lawful/unlawful Godly/unGodly, mighty/impotent etc. The trick Penthouse seems to employ perpetually.......... is to draw its audience in - shortly before SHOCKING them! We even have the semblance of a Greek Chorus with those two chatty Heron Palace ladies and that toe-rag of a lawyer/politician. All in all, there's actually more than meets the eye to Penthouse. Hope this review will explain things a little better to the curious, or for the Music-lover to search YouTube for Puccini's, E lucivan le stelle, (Pavarotti, or Placido Domingo).

Joo dan Rae's character is onto all his enemies and knows everything that is going on. The series is far too long.

Now once again he found about a dna test and killed that beautiful lady now framing the man for her murder is this truly how Korean rich people are?
