Viewers Are Hate-watching Season 3 of SBS Mega Makjang Drama Penthouse as It Keeps Jumping the Shark

If I thought the SBS hit drama Penthouse was a makjang fest from the beginning clearly the screenwriter was all “hold my beer” and primed to keep one upping herself in crazy/bizarre/absurd plot developments. Season 2 was a bigger hit that season 1 with extra high ratings but now season 3 has dropped off a ratings cliff thanks to the plot jumping extra shark lengths. The major plot device is the killed off in a shocking death only to be resurrected somehow and that now includes Lee Ji Ah and Kim Hyun Soo and now likely Park Eun Seok and Eugene‘s characters. It’s okay done once but multiple times the honestly if there are viewers still okay with this then good for them otherwise it feels like a dunce getting repeatedly tricked on the same dumb feint.

  • I wanted makjang not lazy writing...
    Wait, it's not a lazy writing, it's an overstretched sript. And the worst part is that they don't even want to kill any character.
    I mean, is it too much for a dead character to remain dead.
    Okay, I'll stop ranting

  • S3 is hideous, the plot the characters getting worst and worst. I skipped most of the part because the script are horrible!
    I hope there will no more penthouse series anymore, just END IT ALREADY

  • I watched the 1st episode of Season 3 when it premiered and decided not to continue anymore. I just couldn't take the ridiculous storyline anymore. haha
    Maybe I would binge in future once its done and if I feel like it but for now nah.

    For me, the story ended @ Season 2 with all of them going to jail.

  • Season 3 is must be banned during your self-quarantine because it would drain your immune (from personal experience)
