“Penthouse 2” episode 6 review

https://www.jazminemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Penthouse-2-ep-6.jpg

Wow, a lot has happened in the 6th episode of “Penthouse 2” that I had to recap the craziness and talk about it.

We’re now officially half-way through the second season of the series. I am sure the second half will be even crazier.

This episode, I was so furious I couldn’t even enjoy Shim Su Ryeon’s reappearance, I was just livid at how Bae Ro Na just died like that.

I will go on a whim here and say that Yoon Cheol isn’t the one who instructed someone to kill Bae Ro Na. I think its Joo Dan Tae did it, he’s found out the truth and is covering up on the side because it would end his empire if this gets found out. But if by any chance Yoon Cheol did it, I JUST I… I… I’D BE LIVID. I don’t want to believe it. Leave me in my denial.

I really liked Yoon Cheol’s character. Now, I realize that he’s a father who wants to protect his daughter but he gosh darn it, he chooses the most awful times to shield a monster. Regardless, I am glad that Seo Joon thinks her bad deeds are catching up to her, the more they climb, the harder they fall and I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I think it’ll all come crashing down in the second half of the 3rd season. I seriously hope the screenwriter plans the most epic fallout of the main characters.

I guess in the second half of “Penthouse 2,” the focus will be on Shim Su Ryeon and Logan.

It’s very odd to me that Shim Su Ryeon would appear like that in front of Joo Dan Tae for show. I’d love it if it wasn’t really Shim Su Ryeon but either her twin sister or the birth mother of the twins, it’d be pretty ridiculous if it wasn’t.

I know we’re suspending our logic for the premise of the drama, but if somehow dead characters come back alive through ridiculous explanations, it’ll make the subsequent deaths of all characters not feel as impactful as they should.

I called it in my review of the last episode of the first season, I just hope that the screenwriter doesn’t repeat the same scenario again at the end of this season too.

I had a feeling that Ha Eun Byeol wasn’t going to be the one who dies but I wouldn’t have expected for a second that it could be Bae Ro Na. From a writing perspective, Bae Ro Na’s death makes sense as it added more meat to the story and what could be described as filler content, it also makes me wonder if more of the teenage characters shall die later on.

Forgetting the shocking revelations for a moment, I was simply mesmerized by actor Yoon Jong Hoon stunning performance in this episode. It was literally one of his best moments on TV yet in my opinion. The sheer pain in his eyes and the inner fight he’s having in his mind is just.. ASTONISHING.

I’ve talked about him before and how much I like him. I believe he’s such a talented underrated actor, I seriously hope he gets to shine even brighter in the future and that more people realize he’s a great actor.

On the other hand, you can see the cracks in actress Choi Ye Bin’s performance as Ha Eun Byeol. It’s not nearly as good as it should be. It’s not to hate on her since this is her debut project, but you can clearly tell she is not nearly on the same level as the cast around her.

I think this is the best they could do with what they had. They weren’t even planning on doing a second season of this drama. She is good for a couple of minutes of screen time but if asked to do heavy scenes, you can see she is inexperienced.

In this episode, you can see they’re putting a lot of expectations on her to deliver a convincing performance but she often falls short, there was more focus on her in this episode and it shows the cracks. Its not enough for me to just flip, but its there and oftentimes a bit difficult to sit through. As I said, from a writing perspective I get why the screenwriter did this, but it would’ve flowed better had they chosen Han Ji Hyun (who plays Seok Hyun) to carry out this part, she is far better in her acting and a lot more convincing.

Choi Ye Bin has definitely gotten better and taken some of the criticism about her to improve, but I understand she wouldn’t be able to wow us in such a short span of time, there is no one who could just go from 20 to 100 in a month or so. I am sure her sunbaes are giving her guidelines on what do to, this is a great opportunity for her.
