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?

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 rarely write reviews but after the 3rd or 4th episode of The Penthouse I felt compelled to put down my thoughts.

I've get a lot of viewing pleasure from TV shows and movies that originate in Korea. They've got subject matter for every taste: action/adventure, comedies, historical dramas, horror features, etc. It's opened a brand new viewing experience for me. I've enjoyed shows of every type and believe Korea has very talented writers and some terrific stories to tell. Production values vary from show to show as does acting ability, but that happens in cinema from all over the world.

My review is to address a subject I see in many of the shows I watch-physical abuse or assault. I'm not talking about the choreographed fights in a spy movie or the sword play in an historical show. I'm talking abuse in the life of every day Koreans. Family violence, workplace abuse and school bullying in particular.

What I find disturbing is the frequency with which it pops up in Korean shows. It's not a random occurrence. It's rarely seems essential to the storyline. It's been presented in every possible genre of storytelling. What adds to this disturbing element is the way the violence is presented as being accepted or acceptable. There is rarely any involvement of any type of authority when the violence is shown. School bullying? Workplace violence? It's repeated in series after series with there rarely being consequences for the assailant or justice for the abused. It's almost as if it's being presented as an acceptable and tolerated part of most Korean's lives. That a slap in the face should be taken. Or a kick or a push. And we all know that can't be a true reflection of the Korean people and their daily experiences, can it?

Of course Korean writers and storytellers don't want think that because Korea is a patriarchal society or because historically this type of behavior has been experienced that viewers should assume it's commonplace behavior in this day and age. Yet that is exactly how it's portrayed. Often.

This is only my perception. Others may not feel the same at all. But, to me, it's a sad element of too many Korean productions.

End of rant.

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.
