A boring drama

This drama, at the beginning, was able to make me keep my eyes open to not skip every minute. So In Goek plays as a strong role. At the first time I thought that he might play as an evil with strong character who really had an eager to destroy the world. The character will be shown as a jerk who really doesn't get much feeling.

He could be strong, unsociable and unhumane. These characters were introduced at the first episode. That's why I was so impressed to keep on watching.

But, the following really makes me bored. The character of lead male and female is not developed well. Myong turned into the humanist one. He also cried. And the way how he finally feels in love with Tak is so unnatural. Tak who first time tells him that she wants to love him, also doesn't make sense for me.

During the episodes, Tak can be described as a rational woman. She usually lives alone and had a relationship with a married man. She could be someone so strong. How could she becomes so easy to put her heart with a man whom she doesn't know closely. Curiosity is not I can find in her character.

The plot is more boring when the story goes to episode 6 untill 16. I didn't find something could make this drama so impressing. The deity and Myal Meong are not described well and consistently in this drama.

The ending of the story also can be so plain and not relevant from the beginning. I will not recommend this drama to watch.

I am rare on writing a review and it's my first time writing it. I don't quiet know where I should start. Overall this drama has shown the complicated story. I'm not really fond of the conflicts since it's fiction. I'm always impressed with the story based on the historical fact. However, this drama is not really bad though I didn't find it as a highly recommended drama.
The plot is always intriguing, full of startling event. Each conflicts present a thrilling scene. I think it is succesfull in making some drama viewers keep watching till the end of episode. Jang Nara (Sunny) as my favourite actres, is succesfull in creating a hearthwarming Empress but full courage. Though some characters are contrastive but Nara Jang could use her role as a naive woman who got married with the emperor, betrayed by him and manipulated, to be e decent and determined woman. For some plot, I found some illogical things. The change of Na Wang Shik is one of it. At first time I watched the way how Na Wang Shik struggle to maintain his body and improve his skills, I think it would take such period of time. But I am totally wrong. Not until a year or even months, Na Wang Shik changes. The way how Min Yu Ra gets her depression and in the end of story immediately she changes into a full hearthwarming woman with the problem in her memory is something that I couldn't take as logical ending.
Finally, I couldn't say that this is highly recommended drama but it is quiet interesting, especially in the complicated conflicts of imperial family.

Drama with full complicated problem

Penthouse is one of dramas with full of intrict. I love watching each episode since it gives me challange to controll my anger.
All the characters in this drama show how complicated problem faced by parents to raise children especially in almost Asian countries. As Asian, I consider that how parents have important role in appointing their children's future. Parents usually have authority in choosing what their children should be. This drama shows exactly how high social family manages their children's education and their ambition to their children.
From episode 1 until 21, I can't stop feeling curious with surprising even in each scene. The plot has consistently full of surprise. The acting of roles really blends with each characters. They show their ego, selfishness, ambition clearly. I could feel really full of hatred to Seo Jin and Dae Tae, however, I could also take a pity to Yoon Hye. In the middle of this drama, I can see clearly that each character shows the true color of the ambition. I love the plot!
One thing that made me wonder is how can Lagon be described as a very lovely man to his adoptive sister Min Soel. At the first scene, she was deported from America because she comitted as criminal. At this scene, Logan Lee seems not doing anything. It was not described much about how finally Logam found her sister was innocent.
But, I still think that this drama is highly recommended drama. Can't wait for Penthouse 2.

This drama presents a new challenge for me to not stop watching it. It's incredibly enchanting. The plot is so unpredictable and full of startling events. The idea of the story is so fresh and it pursues me to know more about virtual game.

The acting of the casts has made me involve into the story. Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye have really made me fall in love with. Their acting is so perfect. Each character in this drama has strong mindfullness.

The setting of this drama can be another great poin for me. When they chose Alhambra palace, so I think the story can be so intriguing spiritually. And I am not wrong. The combination of the spiritual and historical value gives the strong plot of the story. A new technology of virual game is really something new I can get from this drama also.

Finally the twist of this drama is so perfect for me. I love the end of this story. And I bet so many viewers will fall in love with beautiful view of Granada and enchanting Alhambra palace.

The first episode of this drama has given me an unatracting opening. The illness of the lead male and how he fell in love with an actress is a kind of common story I found in K-drama but it's the worst I think. How they fell in love and how they suddenly got kissing are really difficult to be understand as logic plot. I didn't get the chemistry between the lead male and lead female. The acting of the casts can be see so so, they seem are not really included into the deeper of the story. The plot was soo booring. The ending of the story can be guessed and nothing's specialized at all. I really don't recommend this drama to my firends

This drama is beyond my expectation. Story' about ghost or dead is not something I was interested in before, but after watching this drama, I think my taste has changed. The idea of the story is not too special. The resentmant makes the dead won't like to go to afterlife then he or she should finish the undone mission. Inspite of the revenge, gaining the dead's dream of achiaving something can be so frutile which I never think before. The way to reach the goal can through an unpredictable way, funny and startling but yet it really touches or humanity sense.
The plot is consistent and strong. Though the idea is not something new but the execution can be so intriguing. The quality of the acting can be said as great advance.
Yeo Jin Go has a great talent of acting. I can say this after I watched the crown clown. In this drama he could create the nature of Kun Chang Soen as a fragile, smart but so sensitive guy. I love his acting. IU also makes this drama so fresh. She could bring the soul of resentment together with her redemption of love to Chang Soen.
I don't feel that the ghosts are really scary. Since it is not horror or thriller drama yet it hasil brought us to the conclusion that life is full of mystery and unpredictable ending.
Finally I can say the music can smoothly blend to the tone of each scene in drama. Though the end of this drama is heartbreaking but I can say it turns to a happy ending
