Not for people who gets mad easily

What can I say? I binged watch the whole series for three days. The first thing I'll do in the morning is to get my phone and watch it for that whole day nonstop (I admit I've got no life?) but anyways, It's definitely worth it. I've never finished a series this fast consider that this has 3 seasons and 48 episodes with some episodes having an hour and a half of run time but if you try to watch it, you'll understand why I just can't stop. It's because of the never ending stress, anxiety and angst this show gives literally every episode. So angsty that whenever you finish an episode, you'll hit the next episode right away.

There's so many twists, some sprinkle of competition in classical singing which I thought this series is all about, deaths and resurrections. Although this series may have imperfections, you'll never actually thought of it that way because I believe that those imperfections that people are complaining about is what makes this series intriguing.

Casts are so well played especially the three mothers Yoon hee, Suryeon and of course, Seo jin. They all portrayed the parents that will do everything and I mean, EVERYTHING for the sake of their children. I actually believe that this show is all about that. All about what can parents do just for their children. Revenge, cheating, murder. These parents not just the moms but also the fathers are what completes this series. Also, the teen casts, the children of the parents. Now, this is where the opera singing plays its role in the series. Their children competing to be the best singer. Their performances are really what captivated me and the reason why I was convinced to watch this show. Well, It's quite annoying because literally every competition has cheating involved but it doesn't really make it boring. They all played their characters well. I'll have to give it to Seokyung for her great acting skills but I gotta admit that she's the most unlikable character. She's literally the worst Hera kid. My personal favorite is my Rona. She's the one who convinced me to watching Penthouse because she's always viral. She's not really the best character at the beginning but as the show progresses, you can't tell me that she's not the most decent kid in the series. (She's literally the only one who didn't bully anyone) I love her and her performances. She's the best singer amongst all the kids in the show (Well, there's someone who can potentially be the same level as her if she didn't...?)

Anyway, I really recommend watching this. I love everything about it. The angst, stress, everything. It's a roller coaster of emotions. I love the friendships, the betrayals, the character development and the legendary deaths and resurrections that literally made this series iconic.
