Penthouse’s Infuriating Ending Prompts K-netizens to Revisit Worst Drama Endings of All Time and Top of the List Remains High Kick Through the Roof

I feel like every few years I see a post as angry and filled with lots of participation because it just takes everyone down memory (headdesk) lane. The ending this weekend of Penthouse with the everyone dies AND two of the dead people get married in the afterlife really triggered folks and I don’t blame them. Is Penthouse up there with worst ending ever? Probably, but then it basically went to cray cray land the entirety of season 3 so the even more cray ending should not be a surprise. A true worst ending ever must append itself to an actual good show that was 99% great UNTIL the WTF ending moment. And that remains High Kick Through the Roof, and in this post K-netizens and even C-netizens in their own post all agree – no other drama can touch the High Kick kick to the stomach ending. But there are a few just a notch below including Lovers in Paris, Temptation of Wife, and Sky Castle. Others netizens think are honorable mentions are Hi Bye Mama, Memories of Alhambra, and Sisyphus: The Myth. I will also throw in a personal trauma of mine Fashion King. Any others to add?

  • Would anyone be kind enough as to elaborate on what happened in this terrible High Kick Through the Roof ending, please?

  • The flying saucer thingy in Indiana Jones Kingdom of Crystal Skull. For those old enough to remember, in Dynasty (1987), Fallon Carrington Colby was abducted by aliens in the desert. Smh.

      • they have all the budget, all the time, and the resources but they still feel like an unfinished product, it feels like the Kdrama shooting schedule

      • I vote for Hanzee mowing down the Gerhardt crime family including the matriarch. Stab, stab, stab like Jon Snow. Imo, last episode felt a bit deflated actually after all the build up.

      • Just couldn't wait for George so Benioff & Weiss effed up the last season. Greedy. Could have waited a bit more to get more meat for the whole series. Fans can wait. Instead we have a Bollywood movie ending.

  • sky castle ending might be abit vanilla compare to the rest of the show. but still, it's not ruining the whole drama. not bad at all....

    and I disagree whoever think Hi bye mama ending is bad. from the first episode, I already can tell the ending that would fit better is sending away the female lead in peace. if u make her comeback from the dead, it will be crazy weird.

  • I don't know what can top Fashion King. Complete WTF moment. Funny how High Kick's Shin Se Kyung was in Fashion King too.

  • People had complaints about 49 Days, but I guess I am in the minority that found the ending fitting because Ji-hyun already became more alive when she was in limbo and started tearing down the lies.

    Big was the one that really drove me mad. Never watched a Hong Sisters drama since then.

    • Yup! Memories of Bali ending gave me ptsd for months..lol..it took me a very long time to watch any of Ha ji won's Jo in sung's and so jisub's drama..?

    • Memories of Bali is the ultimate! Such a solid drama and daesang worthy acting all the way until the last one minute of the last episode! :-)

  • because this is my 1st life?
    it's not bad but I think it reaffirms how I think the female lead is all talk, no action,
    she gets everything she wishes without deserving any of it
    this drama is a whole middle class fairy tale but pretending like isn't because they have "monologue" at the end of each episode,

  • Sky Castle wasn't bad, but more positive than the rest of the drama.

    I hate the end of 49 Days, God's Gift - 14 Days, Because it's My First Time, Fashion King, Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol, Bad Guy.
