A Cobertura 3 (2021)

i barely write reviews unless i rlly want my thoughts out there

for the plot ? don't watch it. it is insanely messed up and all over the place. the writers took advantage of the hype that was building around the twists that they took it to an excessive amount.

for the acting ? definitely watch it. i hated everything about the drama's plot but i come back to it weekly because it was beautifully casted. the ending is horrible - literally the worst of all - but everyone's acting made up for its shitiness.

also spoiler but why was yoonchul disregarded just like that? rona didnt grieve for the dude, and eunbyul didnt even talk about his death in her testimony ? girl ??

Family First

It is indeed intense, heartfelt and amazing series ive ever watch i thought this was going to be boring at first but then suddenly it boom! Fantastic story ? i love the plot the scene and everyones motive in each other for the sake of their own family, but joo dan tae aaahhhw so much evil and very smart,, same with cheon so jie ahh that lady.. i cant forget all the things she did to oh yoon hee,, but Bae Ro Na takes the win im glad. As for me it is superb and great job to the all of cast and to the director and to the story behind this its a 10?⭐ still waiting for the last 5 episode cant wait. This is just for me wanting to express hiw i felt watching this kind of drama for me so intense.

rushed and ridiculous end to an amazing show

After everything I've been through watching this show I really expected a better ending. Seriously wtf was that finale?! I'd be lying if I said there was no payoff at all but the execution for the last part of this series really fell flat. The writing for this show had ways been batshit crazy but it used to be the fun enjoyable kind of crazy. After a while the writers prioritized outsmarting the audience over plots that make sense. Also the whole "x character died but they're not actually dead" trope got so dragged out throughout the series that by the 3rd installment I just gave it the dude eye. But the way they wrapped things up was just rushed and so laughable. My biggest gripes are how they killed off OYH, SSR, JDT, and SJ. Just plain lazy. JDT needed a more satisfying death! everything was leading to his demise and once I watched him die I was mad because the way he went out was so stupidly done it was laughable. And why would SSR just kill herself like that?! I was rooting for you! we were all rooting for you! it literally made no sense for her to do that. why take your life after you've made it this far to avenge your daughter? Logan was def better in the earlier seasons. after a while his fake deaths got annoying. I'm glad that the penthouse kids got SOME sort of healing from the trauma they shared. SK prob had the biggest character development out of everyone and her brother right behind her. EB is truly a sad story. What her parents did to her is unforgivable, but it's sad that she threw away her bright future because of her family's issues. out of all the villaians SJ had the best written end. Her last scenes where she watches her daughter from afar after hitting rock bottom was heartbreaking. Even after everything she did I felt bad for her in those moments. I didn't dislike everything in the last episode but overall I just wish it could've been better.

psychotic roller coaster !!

Continuing to watch till S3 was not a bad idea after all! This drama will forever remain in my heart. I never have hated and loved the same person so much in my life other than Penthouse Characters.
The Pecanpie: War in life (this title makes more sense)

This drama game me a new experience which I never had with any other drama. Rage, Anger, Tears @ 2am, Butterflies in my belly, Anxiety, Anger issues, Incomplete assignments, you name it. It gave me all. But most importantly, I felt like I've undergone this entire journey of penthouse. As a viewer who started watching when S1E1 aired, I can tell that I felt like I was a character inside this drama. Watching all the actors grow, I truly feel like I was a part of everything!!!

If you are watching for a plot, don't watch it.
Thankyou Penthouse for this amazing journey!! I cried, I got angry over the plot, I laughed, I cringed, I smiled, experienced second hand embarrassment from characters here :P My point is do give it a try.

Dr.Ha, I love you and i'm sorry.<3




SPOILERS: (do not need to read)



EPISODE 1: (7/10)
The plot is very messy by far. Many things are so out of hand already in the 1st ep. I was hoping for a friendship between Rona and Seokyung. I can't predict what's gonna happen next. I am disappointed on Seokkyung. I loved her character and somewhat understood her till S2 but rn, she is nothing but a possessive brat. Seokyung's character development is all over the place.
And by far, the person with Logan seems innocent to me. Idk why. I have a feeling that LOGAN isn't dead or idk maybe im clowning myself. The jail scene of the Hera Palace ladies gave me satisfaction. I'm sure there's something between Jenny's dad, JDT and Min Hyuk. . I honestly don't ship Rona and Seokhoon anymore. After they got close, BBR has lost her bold character. She is dependent on JSH now. I trust nobody except SSR at the moment.

EPISODE 2: (4/10)
I was so excited for S3 but at this point, its just comedy and absurd nonsense. Like seriously? What the heck is going on? I'm dissapointed! On the directors, on the plot. Bringing out yet another twin seriously? couldn't the makers think about something better? And i hate how everything is going. I really wished to see the three FL work together but now it seems like OYH and SSR are gonna be each others rivals as well. Seokyung brat deserves nothing! Not even her mom and brother!

EPISODE 3: (9/10)
Finally the penthouse 3 is BACKKKK. Ok this episode was pretty good, I feel satisfied. This is the best episode yet in season 3. I even thought of stopping watching this, but now it looks like it's coming back on track to the real 'Penthouse' vibes. And I see a possibility of one more twin? Of Seol ah? Please no.

EPISODE 4: (7.5/10)
There are just too many plottwists that makes it plotless. These plot twists were really fun, but now it's just too much. I only hope Yoon -Hee is not dead. And all the blood relation and all makes it so annoying. THIS IS GETTING BORING SINCE JOO DAN TAE IS ALWAYS WINNING.

EPISODE 5: (4/10)
Again, plot twists. I'm just sick of it but i' living for this cringe. Yet another main character dies? And yet another mysterious guy is there tf. In the preview of next episode Na Ae Gyo is back. If it happens, i'm gonna pack my stuff and leave. Although this is a drama, i really wished the writers would make it atleast practical. But still, the revenge and hatred game is on!!

EPISODE 6: (5/10)
One word for this episode : A mess
There are no characters that I can consistently support in this drama. Not even SSR at this point. This drama is making me lose all my braincells yet I'm still watching it.

EPISODE 7-12: (6/10)
No words, just complications

EPISODE 13-14: (7/10)
Continuing to watch was not a bad idea after all!!

Penthouse: War in Life Season 3 (2021) - Finally, it is done.

It is obviously a nonsense story. Season 3 was a mess, and it feels like it has been gone to a third season just for the sake of ending it. At least it was finished. The ending is fine with me, I understood it, with lots of what happened before and after.

I don't have a lot to say about the actors and actresses because they did exceptionally well in the drama. Nailed their roles perfectly.

I think this drama is way too much makjang for me. Not a recommended drama. It may suit to others who like makjang specifically, but it's really not for me.

Something you will remember forever

This one is something you can't forget it's been a while since I watched this but I still haven't forgotten about it! It made me feel angry so much when I was watching this but it also made me wait for the next episode so badly!! When I watched this drama first I did a really silly mistake ? which is I watched the season 2 first instead of season 1 I know everyone might think how I understood everything I also don't know how I did but I did somehow ??? Overall the actors did a amazing job I mean really it was really so good! This drama is a solid 10/10 but The rewatch value is 8 as it might be too much for some people to watch this all over again! (you know high blood pressure ?) Lastly I would recommend everyone to give this one a try ...It might be a lot of episodes but it's truly worth it even more perfect if you loved the recent drama 7 escape and wants to watch anything like that (I loved both dramas a lot)

Drama that completely doesn't make sense but still addictive to watch

I guess after Penthouse 1 and Penthouse 2, the audience is so used to tons of unexplainable plot twists, we are not even surprised anymore when the same happens in Penthouse 3. Every single time a character dies (especially important characters), I can't help but think "how is he/she going to come back later?" I think we can summarise the series with three points

1) The rich will never run out of money. Even when nearing bankruptcy, there's always a way to bounce back to the same wealth as before.
2) The more evil the person is, the longer life he'll live.
3) No matter how deadly the encounter is, there is still a way to come out alive and look better than before.

After conditioning us to think that anything is possible, you would think there would somehow be a happy ending as an answer to all the efforts that were done in the previous two seasons, until the screenwriter decides that it doesn't make sense to do the same trick twice (or multiple times) and give us one of the weirdest endings (in my opinion).

To be honest, I kind of feel cheated. After following this drama for so long, watching each character's ups and downs, the ending really made me feel like I've wasted my time. On one hand, it has been a great journey. It is kind of nice to see the dramatic lives of the rich once in a while, but on the other hand, the ending is very underwhelming.

I don't understand why people don't like it

Plots:
Season 1 was intense. Each episode kept me on my toes. It was super stressful and as much as wanted to drop it to avoid the stress, I couldn't. Season 2 was also very interesting and showed us the unsuccessful revenge story. Season 3 was a bit rushed. The writers threw all the history and motivations into it. Although it was quite interesting, some things did not make sense. For example, Logan coming back to life. It is literally impossible for a bomb to explode right next to you and for you to survive. I hated how they kept making everything worse for Bae Ro Na. Killing her mum was enough. I am quite thankful Logan was alive though and that Seok Hoon and Ro Na got their happy ending.
Acting:
The acting could not get any better, Joo Dan Tae and Cheon Seo Jin's acting literally blew my mind considering their real personalities and roles in other dramas.
Rewatch value:
I personally would not rewatch the series only because of the amount of stress it gave me. It was way to evil.

So yeah, In conclusion, it wasn't bad, just a little rushed. It was quite interesting and I would definitely recommend it. Also, the sets, architecture and interior design were amazing. I would definitely recommend the drama if your looking for inspiration for that kind of stuff

Now let me tell you something

I want to turn back time. I wish I never saw this season and here are the reasons. First of all the ending? What an unnecessary thing to do. At the last episode, I was like "Hmmm, 15 minutes left and it's going so smoothly so far."Well, I need mental treatment because I am mentally unstable. Why would Sim Su Ryeon, Logan Lee, and Ha Yoon Cheol die? Where will the story lead without it? Into the same f*cking happy ending. Second of all, they didn't explain the scene with the homeless man and Seo Kyeon. Like was it Joo Dan Tae or what? Third, all again why would they kill Ha Yoon Cheol when they were saving him the whole f*cking episode? And last but not least the edit I saw about the characters was correct, I didn't believe it since it was like the last episode and still people who were supposed to die didn't so I was like "Hmmm, ok so Logan, Su Ryeon and Yoon Cheol will live, I am so happy." At that point, I just wanted to throw my phone as far as I could. But when it comes to the whole series I enjoyed it, kind of.
