I hate this so much, you don't even know.

The thing is, Penthouse surely did well as a makjang, and when I say makjang, I mean **MAKJANG**. It was so over the top, so ridiculously overdramatic, so pointless and utterly stupid. It's almost unhealthy to watch this show, it'll make your blood boil, your bp will get high and you'll regret all of your life decisions.

But the thing is... I couldn't connect to it. Which is the reason why I'm giving a relatively low rating. Sure, it's visually stunning, every scene looks somewhat fancy and appealing, the cast is well-chosen and they all suit their role perfectly. And sure, the dramatic music was something. Aaand sure, the twists were ''shocking'' and unexpected.

But I couldn't care less. I just lost interest after episode 4. There was no character to root for. Shim So Ryun was amazing, but I just didn't really care about her revenge. Oh Yeon Hee and her annoying brat-- oops, daughter, who were supposed to be the ''good characters'' were useless, bland and hella freaking annoying I swear to god. Yoon Chul, actually, was quite the hot dude. And I quite enjoyed his scenes. Literally every kid in the show annoyed me to death and I just started skipping the scenes with them because I couldn't stand them.

However, I think we all can agree that Cheon Seo Jin, played by the wonderful Kim So Yeon, carried the drama on her shoulders and was the prefect leader. She was stunning and graceful from every angle. Baddass queen. Sure, her character is pure evil, but she was attractively evil, if you know what I mean. Every actor did a good job, but she was beyond brilliant. I was totally blown away. God bless the staff for choosing her.

So yeah, overall, I'm giving a low rating because I did lost my interested pretty easily.
