    Based on what I've read, Yu-Jin is possibly Hana's best friend (Doo-Na), and Doo-Na dies. But also Yu-Jin gets into a car accident... Same here. I'm still lost.

    Tomorrow morning here in the US. It's morning right now in S. Korea. And that martial law attempt... oof... That is a possibility too.
  3. liyahsbutterfly
    Okay... but Yoo-Jin is also Yeo-Jin's daughter. So if Yeo-Jin believes that Hana is Yeo-Jin, I don't think she'd harm her...
  4. liyahsbutterfly
    I see now. This is what I wanted to happen, but I guess they wanted to make things unconventional. Maybe Hana is still a heiress though, perhaps her real family was rich. I hope.
  5. liyahsbutterfly
    Huh? What kind of daily drama doesn't have the female lead as a secret heiress? And I don't think Yeo-Jin is really a villain based on the synopsis. Cold-hearted, yes. Maybe Hana is a distant relative of the Hyesung family? (I don't know their last names.)

    I'm really confused about the plot. Is Hana Yu-Jin or??? What's going on?
  7. liyahsbutterfly
    Fair enough. Maybe a weekend drama. Why do you say this?

    Revisiting this 3 years later to say: Penthouse is one of the most high-rated Korean dramas of all time. So it did become one of the best dramas ever. I'm still upset about Yoonhee's death. WHY DIDN'T SHE COME BACK???? I didn't care very much for the kids. Like at all. Season 3 was kinda useless, they could've made a sort of spinoff/miniseries after season 2. Unpopular opinion, but Su-Ryeon was kinda... boring as one of the main protagonists. I preferred Yoonhee and Seojin much more. (Yoonhee was definitely my favorite.) I felt SO bad for Yoonchul. Man did not deserve that ending. I consider Dantae/Junki the "final boss" of Penthouse, while Seojin is the main antagonist. I wonder what plot they were gonna do with Yoonhee and Dantae? I wish Yoonhee stayed evil, but I still liked her anyway. And did Yoonhee and Dantae really sleep together?! I still love how everyone was morally grey. Kinda influenced my own writing, honestly. I write morally grey characters now. I may rewatch this someday. It's still my favorite k-drama. I listen to the BGM often (from all seasons) and it's very beautiful. The acting was top-notch, and the cinematography and sets were 10/10! See you later, Penthouse Detectives!

    It does and I like the lead actresses, but the overacting is irritating me. I'm also watching Five Fingers and Angel's Revenge (an older KBS drama.)

    Lame ending with a bunch of plot holes. The only good parts of this daily were the music (both OST and BGM), some of the sets, a few actors, and the outfits. My rating was actually an 8/10 first, but now it's gone down. A lot of the drama was too dragged out, and Jung-In's death should've happened at least halfway. I do, however, think it's a good portrayal of the Korean entertainment industry. Most of the acting was bad to average, to good. Jung-In (as the protagonist) is very pretty, but sounded like she had a lisp. And while she wasn't the most amazing actress, Han Chae-Young did very well in the last few episodes and she was charismatic. Han Bo-Reum was bad. Period. She just stared and cried 24/7, making Seol-Ah a very boring heroine. Choi Woong was terrible, he was literally a block of wood. He had NO chemistry with any of the actresses making the romantic conflict... boring. The one who did surprise me was Kim Kyu-Sun, she was bad in Witch's Game but did very well here. Maybe she just plays villains better. I also hated Min Tae-Chang the most as the final boss. Out of the main characters, I loved Ju-Ryun and Jung-In the most. The major characters were fine. Jeon Seung-Bin was okay, but I felt so bad for Na Hyun-Woo! He deserved to be with Seol-Ah! Second lead syndrome strikes again. 😭 I also liked Seung-Woo, but my favorite has to be Sun-Ae. She was meticulous and ruthless, but still a good mother. I loved that. I didn't care for Seol-Ah's family, but I liked the relationship between Il-Joong and Mi-Sun, they were sweet. Ji-Yeon was nice. I couldn't STAND the grand-aunt, that actress loves to play annoying and exaggerated characters for some reason! I did feel bad for Dr. Kwon, though. He didn't deserve to die like that. Like I said before, the music was amazing. I loved that dramatic piano theme, as well as the tense one with the drums and strings. And the mysterious one with the strings. Okay, the BGM is awesome. And so is the theme song, the singer's voice was beautiful. I can't wait till they release the BGM/full soundtrack. Overall rating: 4/10. Also, how BIG was that time-skip???? It just said many years later... See you guys at Cinderella Game. I'll be watching that one!

    That was such a lousy ending. If they didn't do a murder mystery, they could've made it a suicide instead. The finale could've been way better.
  12. liyahsbutterfly
    It may be due to Thanksgiving/the holidays.
  13. liyahsbutterfly
    It's not Min Tae-Chang. It was a woman's arm on the rooftop. And not Ju-Ryeon either, she was absolutely devastated when she saw Jung-In's corpse.
  14. liyahsbutterfly
    Most likely. A tragedy, meaning? This show has always been pretty dark. Aside from Seol-Ah's family.
  15. liyahsbutterfly
    Wow, you really hate Seok-Gi. He knows that Jung-In is corrupt and he's against it... so technically he's doing the right thing. And the main director is the one crushing on Seol-Ah. It may be episode 101, and Seol-Ah might have been the one who killed her. She followed Jung-In into the staircase. The love square with Wooden (Woo-Jin) is one of the most boring love triangles/polygons I've ever seen. He's a bad actor. Even Jung-In is better than him, she at least has the charisma and screen presence.
  16. liyahsbutterfly
    Yes. If JI died halfway through, it would've been more interesting.
  17. liyahsbutterfly
    Finally, Jung-In's death is happening. In episode 100's preview, she got the threatening note. I think Tae-Chang killed her. He's the only one that calls her Kyung-Sook. Ju-Ryeon is crazy, but I doubt she'd actually kill her. It's not Seol-Ah, nor is it Woo-Jin, they're both too passive. Sun-Ae is a possible suspect, but I don't think she knows about Jung-In's past. And it wasn't that employee either, I think she found Jung-In's body or saw her die. The alternate theory is that Jung-In's death was a fantasy/dream. The show has been TOO dragged out for it to be an actual murder mystery at this point.
  18. liyahsbutterfly
    First trailer has been released. Also, I think Shin Yeo-Jin is a main character, not supporting... considering that she's literally on top in the poster.
  19. liyahsbutterfly
    No, she was getting arrested, not dying. I guess it'll happen soon... or be a dream sequence. Edit: You meant episode 98. No, it... didn't happen at all. We were tricked.
  20. liyahsbutterfly
    The latest episodes have been... good, actually. Rather decent. As for the extension: this drama was originally 101 episodes, it was only extended to 102 so it could end on a Friday. (November 29th.) The extension was only... 1 episode. I see in some places it's said 104, but that's incorrect as well. Most KBS2 dailies are 102 episodes. Not many have been exactly 100 episodes (Miss Montecristo, The Secret of My Love, and Red Shoes were all exactly 100 episodes. Ruby Ring had 93 episodes, but it was cancelled early.)
  21. liyahsbutterfly
    Yes, it is. It's a KBS2 drama.
  22. liyahsbutterfly
    Waiting for this! Sounds interesting.
  23. liyahsbutterfly
    Yes, Moon Jung-In is the lead and villainess. It's on the website. You should list dramas where the lead is the villain, there are several. In Mysterious Personal Shopper, Se-Yeon and Eun Kyung-Hye were the leads. Red Shoes had a villainess lead with Min Hee-Kyung.
  24. liyahsbutterfly
    What a bizarre family.

    Daily dramas are soap operas, so their budgets are much lower than weekly/weekend/primetime dramas.
