The Penthouse has already achieved high ratings. From episode 2, this drama received a rating of 12% and looks like it will continue to soar. Approximately, why did this drama reach high ratings? Come on, see the review of this drama from episodes 1 and 2. Keep scrolling, yeorbun! The Penthouse is a crime romance drama that is summed up perfectly.
Starting from the setting, scope, and tone made clearly from the first three-minute scene. In the first scene, the drama's scene starts with a view of Seoul at night, plus a luxurious fireworks display that is clearly visible from the 100-floor apartment. While accompanied by tense music, the sight of fireworks along with the splendor of Rococo-esque balls seemed empty in the eyes of a queen wearing a beautiful dress. While looking at that beauty, someone suddenly fell from the top of the apartment.
Gosh, the beginning of the episode was tense, and the setting in this drama is similar to the drama Sky Castle. When I watched the drama The Penthouse until episode 2, there was a feeling of anger, resentment, and negative thoughts towards the rich and their children. Yes, this is just a fictional drama but it breaks hearts seeing the character of each player. It's no exaggeration, but this drama manages to evoke that feeling. This drama tells of many conflicts, ranging from fights between children, screams, abuse, affairs, and the secret of the birth of a queen's child from Hera's palace manager.
The drama, which is broadcast for 90 minutes, shows all the characters clearly and the audience must really pay attention to it to understand. By describing all the conflicts, 90 minutes should not have been enough for this drama but the director and team managed to wrap it up perfectly. The Penthouse is basically a production ensemble, with four important cast sets. The focus in this drama is the people who live in luxury apartments, namely Hera's palace. Each part is a social microcosm with power struggles, jealousies and the oppressed poor, From the initial episode, every story and conflict is perfectly packaged and has a very clear common thread. Starting from the jealousy of Cheon Seo Jin (Kim So Yeon) who is a top soprano who is now a vocal teacher for uber-richy.
Seo Jin, who lives in Hera's palace, has a bad past and has a bad character. Everything that is obtained, should belong to someone else. Her husband is surgeon Ha Yoon Cheol (Yoon Jong Hoo). The relationship between Seo Jin and Yoon Cheol is not good, they often argue and disagree. At first, Yoon Cheol's character looked good, as he always criticized his wife's falsehood. However, in some scenes he also has a bad character. Money is the source of his happiness. The depravity of their parents finally affected their daughter. Yoon Cheol's daughter, followed in her mother's footsteps to become a soprano star. Next, Joo Dan Tae (Eom Ki Joon) 's family. Dan Tae has a gentle wife named Shim Soo Ryun (Lee Jia), they have two teenage twins.
Different from before, Eom Ki Joon this time plays a bad character and manages to drain his emotions. Arrogant, hypocritical, sycophant, cheating, evil, and murderer (like a crazy psychopath) are the characters played by Eom Ki Joon in this drama. He acts kind and loving, but he's really just manipulating his wife and everyone else. In running his big business, he bribed and bullied the underprivileged and bribed the administration of a prestigious high school whose children had to enter and come in top of the school's tests. I swear, the character really makes you angry guys! Worst of all, Dan Tae (Eom Ki Joon) abuses his children emotionally and physically if he fails at school. Anyway, don't expect to find Eom Ki Joon's character in this drama, guys. But honestly, Ki Joon who usually plays a good character can forget immediately, when watching his character in this drama. Playing a bad character, the acting looks really natural and gets carried away with emotions. Dan Tae's twins are named Joo Seo Hoon (Kim Young Dae) and Joo Seok Kyung (Han Ji Hyun). Inheriting his father's character, Seo Hoon and Seok Kyung are naughty and temperamental children. At worst, they work together to bully other people's children and protect themselves from their father's abuse. This is really dramatic, but it manages to drain the emotions.
However, they have a good mother and are far from evil. Even though she is not a real mother, she has real affection for her children. In addition, there is also the family of Kang Ma Ri (Shin Eun Kyung) who has a daughter. Kang Ma Ri's character passed down to her son, who is trying to reach the top of social class and become the greatest person in Hera's court and at school. They are able to torture the lives of others, so that their lives can improve and remain in the upper class. I swear, look at this family making it furious. Followed by a family of lawyers, namely Lee Kyu Jin (Bong Tae Kyu) who has an ambitious wife named Go Sang Ah (Yoon Joo Hee) and has one son. A little ambitious from the others, this family also has complicated problems, from the chaebol (in-laws) family quarrels to Kyu Jin's cruel and greedy voice. The problem in this rich family, is not just controlling the palace of the 100-story apartment building, but also wanting to achieve everything and their children must also follow in that footsteps. These parents from Hera's court, forced their son to enter music school and had to become a classical singer.
To enter the music school, parents do everything from forcing their children to tutor to bribing the school administration. Is it that classical singer profession, is that great? Well, besides focusing on the family living in Hera's palace, this drama also takes the story of a woman who struggles to make a living. This woman is named Oh Yoon Hee (Eugene), she has a daughter named Bae Rona (Kim Hyun Soo). This mother and child, have normal character and have talent in the world of singing. When Bae Rona was framed at school and almost expelled, Yoon Hee kicked the headmaster and broke his two front teeth in rebellion against the school violence committee's decision. Yoon Hee's character is quite unique and deserves a thumbs up, she is brave and has integrity. In fact, he was brave enough to blackmail a high-ranking politician into getting money to bribe the headmaster to get Bae Rona out of school.
Yoon Hee and her daughter, have the same dream. Unfortunately, Yoon Hee failed to continue her dream of becoming a soprano singer, because she was involved in a case with the son of a rich man who is now a music teacher named Cheon Seo Jin. Their problems have not been resolved, even until they have children in the same school. Worst of all, Cheon Seo Jin does the same thing for his daughter, falsifying the scores for the music school exam results. The fight between Yoon Hee and Cheon Seo Jin lasts until it affects their child. Want to see how the rich oppress the poor? This drama, can show it perfectly and make you emotional. There is another character that makes him teasing and furious when he is bullied by a rich kid. His name is Min Seol Ah (Jo Soo Min). Seol Ah disguised herself as a student and tutored teenagers from Hera's instana family. His disguise was revealed when, he took a music school test and was ranked first in his test results. She works as a tutor because she has no parents, and has to earn a living on her own. Refusing to forget, Seol Ah also wants to be a classical singer and it is clear that she has a great voice over other girls. In these two episodes, only two teenagers are shown to have golden voices that are worthy of becoming classical singers. The two teenagers were Bae Rona and Seol Ah, but they failed and experienced many obstacles because the parents of the rich man's son were involved and forced their children to act cheating.
You have to remember, this rich man's son has almost no natural talent to become a classical singer, but because of his compulsion, his son has to follow and make it seem like their talent. The drama settings of The Penthouse and Sky Castle are quite similar. But this penthouse drama, ranging from conflict, the character of each character, and the madness of the rich to reach the top class is very different from other dramas. Moreover, a Hera court administrator has an affair with a classical music teacher, which really annoys me. Is this why this drama has risen in ratings? Well, if you're curious, you can watch episodes 1 and 2 on sites or applications that provide complete Korean dramas.
Have a good time watching.
