Aier Mar 20 2023 7:42 am Overall very good and I'm so curious

ang Mar 19 2023 10:38 am her expression when she remembered her past is somehow a bit not satisfying idk

jones Mar 19 2023 8:00 am yeah the twist are there but the acting is cringy i dont feel the drama at some point

starlight Mar 19 2023 3:08 am the episode 1 is really boring but it gets better and there are lots of twist that makes it quite interesting. the style of drama is very similar with penthouse maybe because they have the same writer

Binnie Mar 18 2023 7:19 pm The twist Blow my mind

Laye Mar 18 2023 10:07 am I love everything except for Kim sun deok. Her acting is a bit cringy.

KIM Mar 16 2023 9:48 pm Okay the plot is so fast. Looking forward to next, curious about the perfect husband.

kyooty Mar 15 2023 6:28 am this drama sets so fast in the beginning ad they must have a reason for it. so that's worth watching and if you can see the details in every scene you'll enjoy this.. trust me

Jnar Mar 13 2023 6:49 pm i love it so far, i enjoyed the drama

Queenbee_1196 Mar 13 2023 4:58 pm Impressive! It's giving penthouse vibes already.... As excepected they didn't disappointed! Let's go

Sten Mar 13 2023 1:34 pm I love it haha, exactly what I wanted to see and it didn't disappoint. Die hard Penthouse fans will like it a lot as well.

Victoria Mar 13 2023 3:35 am First episode was very confusing and boring ,but washing second episode it got interesting,love how the episode is going

kdrama Mar 12 2023 7:56 pm first episode had too much info and too much background. But second episode was full of action and started to become more interesting to watch. Reminds me a little bit like Jason Bourne.

Matthew Mar 12 2023 5:11 am I still don't know whether to continue watching the next episode or not. episode 1 is too complicated, too many things are included and told. so it doesn't have a story focus.

is it about romance? affair? aggressive? science? political? past traumas? each character seems to have his own business. I'm confused about what this is about.

I don't understand why they don't tell it more relaxed and calm? one by one not all at once. episode 1 alone has so many confusing past scenes and so many disgusting kissing scenes. huft sorry.

MR Mar 11 2023 8:02 pm It reminds me of The Conspiracy Theory, an organization was training assassins in a mental hospital and the individual was supposed to be dead also. So far the first episode has been pretty interesting and older sister is very suspicious. Somebody made sure that Tara and Haesoo became friends as part of the plot. If they hurt her daughter, then I feel sorry for them, because her memories are coming back of being a killing machine. Lee Ji-ah looks extremely young for age and I like the last couple of dramas she starred in.

Jilli Feb 20 2023 4:33 pm Lee Sang Yoon. Yummy. I will watch him in anything. :)

Nja Feb 17 2023 9:10 pm Another Lee Lee couple

mindblowing Feb 14 2023 10:54 am i've watched penthouse 1,2,3 and endup liking Shim Suryun and ofcourse the actress Lee Ji Ah too, and im so happy that her comeback gives the same vibes.. Tbh she's too much made her face i almost didnt recgnize her in these teasers!! well since she's not young anymore she put full botox on her 'pretty already' face and especially her nose now is so?? okay that's her choice maybe she needs it to keep 'young look'.. BUT i admit her acting skill is amazing, i like Ji Ah acting ?❤️

nolbeu Feb 13 2023 11:13 pm E Jiah is stunningly beautiful here, and of course Lee Sang-yoon is gorgeous as hell too <3
