Penthouse Plot
Penthouse is divided into three very entertaining seasons. The first season entails Shim Su Ryeon (Lee Ji-ah), whose husband is the shady Joo Dan Tae, played by Uhm Ki Joon. But their marriage is far from perfect since Joo Dan Tae is hiding something from Shim So Ryeon.
Oh Yoon Hee, who is played by Eugene, is someone who is not rich. She is humble and lives a simple life, but for the sake of her children, she wants to climb the social ladder. Cheon Seo-jin (Kim So Yeon) is a famous soprano whose father has been the head of Cheong-ah Arts School since high school. Oh Yoon Hee and Cheon Seo Jin get embroiled in a love triangle with Ha Yoon Cheol, played by Yoon Jong Hoon.
The thing about the residents of Hera Palace is that they would go to any extent to ensure that their kids are happy and that they get into the Cheong Ah Arts School. However, things fall apart when a girl, Min Seol Ah (Jo Soo Min), falls to her death during a party at Hera Palace, and while the residents are trying to cover up the fact that Min Seol Ah died at their place, they cannot help but be suspicious of each other about who murdered the poor girl. The season in question deals with the murder of Mi Seol Ah and how the residents of Hera Palace react to it.
The second season of Penthouse deals with Shim So Ryeon’s death and Oh Yoon Hee’s need for revenge. At the same time, Cheon Seo Jin has a fall from grace. But Oh Yoon Hee is framed for murder, and Cheonn Seo Jin decides to get married to Joo Dan Tae.
