At Seoul’s most desired penthouse, a struggle for money, power, and status starts.
The Feel-Good Part
The drama’s plot is so compelling that you’ll want to watch the entire production in a single sitting. It’s also amazing how each member of the cast initially plays a supporting role in another leading character’s story before switching to a main part themselves. The first episode of The Penthouse captivates you, giving you a glimpse of the climax right away and then leading you through a series of unexpected turns to help you solve the mystery.
The Disappointing Factor
Additionally, it did an excellent job of conveying how events gradually affected characters in both positive and negative ways as time went on. Despite instances when the plot seems strange, After what they did to Alex, it’s kind of a bummer; rather than forcing him to appear like an African American, they might have shown him as being destitute or struggling in life. And he might show there to exact revenge on Logan after learning what transpired.

Star Power
Each of the characters has a unique narrative and problem, and they are all placed well. Every character in the story is a villain, except for a few. These few villains include Oh Yoon Hee and Su Reyon, who committed crimes but were still good people. Soo Ryeon and Logan are a great match. Each character has a chance to shine and grow, and each contributes just as much to the overall story.
Overall Opinion
Although it might not be your typical Korean drama, I recommend that everyone give it a shot. Regardless of your particular preferences, don’t let someone else’s differences in opinion prevent you from enjoying this masterpiece. It was good to see a K-drama that wasn’t only about the main male and female lead, but rather the twisting events that occur in each character’s life and how they are all connected, even if just by chance. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, non-stop action binge, this one is for you.
