Pandora: Beneath the Paradise (2023)

Not for all viewers..

It's my first time writing a review..but i had no choice, many disliked this drama. It's true that not every person might like this since it's a revenge based drama, but it was worth watching from my point of view..the story went on really quick in the beginning, but gradually began to slow down...the slow down was indeed necessary for character development.... But the story starts running fast from around ep 13...the major suspense was good... thought it could have been better... the main leads were really good in their acting skills but i found some improvement needed in the supporting characters.. and the story was really amazing, i liked the way how the writer tried to connect each character both in the past and present, yet the drama could have ended up with 12 episodes.. but truth to be told....it wasn't a waste..and ofcourse not everyone might have the same opinion..i wanted to skip this drama in the beginning after reading the comments..but then i found few positive ones too and i am glad i didn't skip it!!... 7.5 is low....if any of you haven't watched it yet, i hope you enjoy it..it was an open ending..i didn't like the music ...since it didn't match the revenge plot... I hope this review helps.. and since it's a story with suspense, thriller and secrets hidden...you might not really like re- watching it again after finding the truth in the end ...so re-watch value is low!!
Thankyou!!

I went into this show with Penthouse expectations, but it failed to deliver.

Initially, this show started off quite promising, but it soon petered out into something rather underwhelming that lacked any real substance. It really had so much potential on paper, particularly with that stellar cast, but somehow it all went awry, or perhaps it never really got off the ground to begin with. Either way, it's a great waste and a big shame.

Disappointingly, the writers failed to give Lee Ji Ah an adequately strong and meaningful character, for which she so readily deserves and excels at. I can only hope that she lands a far better role in another show, pronto, as she is a superb actress. Notwithstanding, she was the saving grace of this show, despite her lacklustre roll.
