The Penthouse: War in Life (2020)
(2020 - Viki 21 1:25 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review. Search/Avoid with #WhooshReview]

Residents of Seoul's top luxury apartment will do *anything* to help their families succeed at the noted arts school & climb the ladder of success, including getting rid of anyone in their way. The parents' behavior is echoed in the high schoolers bullying their competition. A revenge scheme becomes the priority & things get crazier.

An entertaining revenge makjang: usual flat characters with no growth & completely erratic behavior - almost all are easy to hate. Superb OTT acting with murders, back-stabbing, jealousy, cheating (in more than 1 way), high finance & more unbelievable plot twists. The cinematography & costuming leans into the dramatic & the sets provide a lot of symbolism. We even have a costume party with Rococo costumes to drive home the point of privilege.
