Known concept, interesting execution
The amount of movies and dramas I have seen about this kind of topic is high, but this particular movie stood out for me. The storytelling and the movie's portrayal were really good and kept me hooked for the whole time. I liked how some of the cast members reunited from Money Heist: Korea and it was nice to see them together again. Although there were some moments that I didn't find interesting, but they were important for the action passages and other scenes so it's okay. Finally, there was a movie where revenge was really what I wanted and it was a book example of how to avenge people.Was this review helpful to you?

Something different
As you can see from my watchlist and everything overall, I mostly watch dramas with no sci-fi and monsters, but this time I tried watching this. First of all, why did it have such an ending? I like open endings that prepare you for next season, but this is way too open, WAY TOO OPEN. But overall I had fun watching it, I felt thrilled and excited for each episode and that is what I was supposed to feel.If anyone is reading this I would love you to scold me because I have to prepare for an important test that will affect my future. Still, instead of that I am watching dramas and writing information about them in google sheets and reviews. D-Day is in 11 days so wish me luck as well. Love you all<3

Problems of rich people :)
What's more interesting than rich people being stupid and making the most stupidedt mistakes? If you have anger issues (as someone who is writing this right now) you will get angry almost every episode. I really liked the story, the character development and relationships between the residents of the palace. The fact that i was able to choose my favorite characters after like 2 episodes is amazing as well. I watched this in 4 days and i must say i rarely got bored while watching this show. What maybe made me not enjoy it as much is the fact that i was spoiled about the character state after 3rd season (youtube compilation of kdrama edits are sometimes evil). And if you excuse me i would love to continue watching the 2nd season of Penthouse. <3Was this review helpful to you?
I don't care about other opinions
I came into this movie with the feeling that the rating gave me that it was going to be like a 7-star watch but that didn't happen. What I must say 1. I had to watch it in 3 blocks for personal reasons (we were going with my family to a briefing),2. The screen time of Woo Do Hwan was way too short for the main character. He was an important character in the story but they didn't show him that much. These two things are in my mind when criticizing this movie. But when it comes to the positive side it has an exciting plot (Christian boy who blames God for his father's death and who became an amateur exorcist), I liked the cast a lot, the acting was done perfectly, maybe it could have been a bit shorter but I am ok with 2 hours and some minutes.Was this review helpful to you?
They made me look stupid
So where do I even begin? This drama was something unexpected to me since I thought that I would get bored 2 episodes in but I didn't. I am happy I took a little break from investigation dramas because that would probably affect this review. I came into this thinking it would be like an eight-star watch, something I would get over fast but it turned out to be master peace with a lot of shocking moments. I even enjoy some of the OSTs because even the music caught my interest. Maybe in like a year I will watch it again and think about every happy moment, and what my reactions were when some shocking stuff happened. Also, this review has a headline " They made me stupid". It's because there were multiple moments where I acted smart and started insulting the characters for being stupid but they were one step ahead of me, as always. To wrap this up I am just surprised how I can watch 16 episodes in 4 days.Was this review helpful to you?
Just me being out of my comfort zone
This movie felt short but like in not a bad way ofc. I gave this review headline like this because it's true. When i look at my watchlist i can find there different genders but my least watched is "time traveling"(in this movie it was the connection between the present and past). The reason for it is that i will most likely get bored what didn't happened that much while watching this movie. I started watching this movie without knowing who will act in it and then i found out that i know at least one actor. The reason why i gave it 9.5 star rating and not 10 is because of the ending. I felt like that was something i did not expected to happen but it did. And right now i am going to sleep :)Was this review helpful to you?

You guys made me question this drama
So as I was scrolling through the review section I saw much stuff I don't quite agree with.1. The killer was easy to guess. I don't know if I am just stupid or if you are a genius, but I feel like they made the storyline to surprise us with another plot twist. Yeah, the doctor seemed suspicious but I could never predict the other person in the story.
2. The ML has weak acting skills, he was overreacting way too much.- Well I am not sure what scene are you thinking about but I did not feel uncomfortable watching him act or I never saw him overreacting. Ofc almost the same things were spread about the FL but there were comments like she was annoying and everyone can have their own opinion on this matter.
But when we want to talk about the drama without comments from others and only my honest opinion I will say that it had good chemistry between the main characters, good character development, and an impressive ending. I went into this thinking that it would be a normal serial killer thing but after 3rd episode when I was scrolling through reviews I saw the words "parallel universe" which kind of scared me and I was expecting myself to get bored after one more episode. But as you can see I finished it with good ratings.

CONFUSED ASF
At first, I thought that you all were just overreacting but the story is confusing as hell. Tbh I watched this movie because of Kim Soo Hyun and that is the only thing that kept me watching 2 hours of confusion. The reason behind the kinda high score is mostly because of acting skills and the atmosphere in the movie. I won't care about the confusing plot if there will be some explanation at the end. But besides that kinda good movie. Tbh I wasn't expecting some amazing movie based on the kinda bad reviews but it was not that terrible ig.Was this review helpful to you?
Something unexpected
I came into this k-drama without any research about the topic or theme this drama will cover. It had a profiling setting what i like alot and there was no or slight romance between the main character and his wife who was killed. The message it had was amazing because thanks to this i rrflected on myself and started to think about my behavior toward others. I feel like i will think about this drama for a long time even after finishing and reviewing it.I did not get bored even for a minute and i felt excited about the whole plot and i was curious about the each episode.So i am ending this with a really good ratings as expected. Have a good day<3Was this review helpful to you?
Nice detective drama
The main reason for watching this drama was at first the cast. I knew the male lead from Doctor Romantic and i was impressed by his acting skills. The only problem with this was actually my fault because i got distracted easily by my phone or i fell asleep easily. Since i didn't see 5% of the whole drama i can't rate it perfectly so maybe if i saw 100% i would rate it higher. It had an interesting storyline ( catching corrupt police officers and solving a murder). I enjoyed this drama and I am happy that i saw this.Was this review helpful to you?
Good k-drama
This drama shows how people with power and money can manipulate others. I was excited to watch this drama from the day I found out that Lee Jong Suk was the main character in this drama so I had high expectations. I didn't want to be spoiled about anything but at the end of the day thank you TikTok for showing me edits about the ending. When I saw the edit I wanted to smash my phone across the room. When I want to talk about this drama more specifically I would say that It had a rushed ending. It was like 16 minutes until the end and we still didn't see progress. I don't fall asleep while watching something but I fell asleep during one of the episodes which was probably due to burning out from school since I have to be cheerful, if I do the opposite I could get told that I am one walking depression. But that only shows that I felt safe enough to sleep. Thank you for reading this <3Was this review helpful to you?
I don't get the reason why people hate this
I saw some reviews and I must say that based on my expectations it was better than I thought. Not only it got a message but it inspired me. I've always been into art and stuff like that but I never got the motivation to for example draw. But as soon as I started watching it came through me. I started drawing people in school or finishing my old drawings. But let's not talk about my current hobby. This k-drama felt short and I liked it, there was a love triangle that I wanted for some reason. I feel like this drama is rewatchable but maybe it's just because I finished it like half an hour ago and I am thinking about it a lot. This drama is a good option for taking a break from detective or crime dramas because it's pure I would say. Anyway, I am going to prepare for school just to zone out every second so have a good day.Was this review helpful to you?

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.Was this review helpful to you?
Better than first season
I always believed the opinion that the first season is always the best- not anymore. With this season I started liking more characters, having different opinions on some characters as well as hating some characters even more. I got spoiled about some stuff but that didn't affect my feeling any different about this drama. It took me 3 days to watch this drama and I don't regret it. I feel sorry for Ha Yung Cheol, he deserved better. Because even tho he did some bad stuff in the past he became a good person, he tried to protect Eun Byeol but became a bad guy because of her. And right now excuse me but I need to finish Penthouse 3.Was this review helpful to you?
