Nonsense plot, completely worse acting than previous seasons

Penthouse was my go-to K-drama but sadly, it only cultivated an interest in me for the first 2 seasons.

So far, 4 episodes of season 3 have aired - and I am totally fed up with the plot and the acting of each character, especially the plot for Oh Yoon He was really illogical. In this particular review, i will focus on my review of season 3 - episode 4.

1st: Plot
The plot in this episode was totally nonsense and all of the mishaps could have 100% been avoided. So many holes in the logic of the plot that could bring up questions in any viewer.
- Oh Yoon He tested the DNA of SSR and Seok Kyung and found out that Seok Kyung is Min Seol A's twin and SSR's daughter by blood
-> SSR could have tested the DNA all this time by herself? Especially when she knew that Jun Dan Tae has always been full of lies?
-> The result of the DNA test: OYH could have told SSR all this time through the phone??? Especially when she knew she was getting in danger as she followed miss Jin. She could have told SSR immediately - explanation could have been reserved til after.

- When SSR got on miss Jin's car to drive herself and Eun Byul away, notice that she DID bring her bag with her (containing the DNA test), meaning that she was really cautious before she got out of the car.
Now... she could have TAKEN HER CAR KEYS WITH HER, which would have prevented Ju Dan Tae from getting on her car and chasing her afterwards. The fact the she could have taken her key cars with her is totally LOGICAL, since she also remembered to take her bag and the DNA test with her and she was also on her guard as it was a very dangerous place.

I know the purpose of all screenwriters is to heighten the intensity of plot and to make viewers become more curious in the next episodes. However, considering that this is such a K-drama that requires logic (solving crimes, plot twists, etc.), leaving such a big number of holes and illogic in the plot is totally unacceptable.

- WHAT WAS GOING ON IN OH YOON HE'S MIND WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD RESIST THE FORCE OF A BLACK CAR LITERALLY GOING AT FULL SPEED by pushing against the white car, WITH 2 BARE HANDS??? This was totally nonsense omfg I can't even understand why the screenwriter made her do that (ofc, to heighten the plot by putting OYH in a near-death situation, making the audience question the death of this character in the next episode). But logically speaking, NO PERSON IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would do this...

2nd: Acting
Honestly, I was very annoyed at first when Oh Yoon He first appeared on screen in this episode when she came to the theatre and announced to everyone that she got 20% of the corporation's shares and she was also going for the director position.

Her acting has become VERY REPETITIVE - trying to look "superior", glaring at someone for a few secs and then widening her eyes and then either looking serious, turn away or smirking in a victorious way and then turn away. Honestly, just notice this pattern and you could see that it's been going on in this exact pattern ever since the last episodes of season 2 and all episodes of season 3 up until now.
