It took me a while to get through the first episode but ended up loving the show. Although you could've guessed the killer at the beginning they made a good job making us second guess everyone else as killer/accomplice. There are likeable characters you genuinely care for. It's kind of unexpected mix of genres but it weirdly works.

unfortunately this drama wasn't it.. first of all, they should've picked another name because the "siren" plot was so weak. They should also remove the mystery tad because everyone and their mother guessed everything correctly after first three episodes. I have seen dramas where you could guess the perpetrator quickly (honestly sometimes it's better than throwing a barely believable plot twist just for the shock's sake) but still enjoyed the show because the rest of the plot was fulfilling and entertaining and that simply wasn't the case here. Also, Do Eun Hyeok killing everyone for even looking at Seol Ah the wrong way but Seol Ah ending up being the main suspect for ALL his killings is beyond ridiculous. He should've decapitated the entire police force then because it came off like he was trying to frame her.
Unfortunately I was right about Baek Jun Beom being highlighted of the show because it went downhill after his death. So there are some good performances from the main cast but that's about it. The japanese version sounds better

I love how the guy's universally become Joo Dan Tae 😂 it's hard to compete with Kim Go Eun!

me too, loved Bad and crazy! Loved little women as well but the sister trio held that one

WHJ keeps being typecast as Dora the explorer 😂

honestly he's the one that kept me watching the most

Honestly it would make sense if Seol Ah turned out to be the final master villain behind all the deaths. If she came with a plan to get rid of him and didn't want to be found. Otherwise it's simply stupid 😭

I noticed her being sus in today's episode too, while looking at the suspect board. For her to be the murderer in this version she would need to have some serious connections with either young Seol Ha or one of her exes. So far she's had too little screen time but there's still four episodes left so who knows, theoretically they could wrap it up nicely. I didn't expect baek jun beom to die already so I don't think he's the main villain

only the high school bullying part and it was even more gruesome in real life. The girl didn't have to do revenge because the police reacted and punished bullies and the school. I don't know if they based the revenge arc on some lther story 🤔 But you're right, I was thinking the same, with everything going on worldwide right now nothing's even makjang anymore 😭

the wildest part about The Glory is that my friends thought that the whole burning someone with curling iron plot was makjang and that part was actually true story 😭

it sounds promising. I quite like serious, well written dramas. I don't mind even if it's slow paced. To me Stranger was great because it didn't undermine the viewers' intelligence, villains weren't cartoonish and there were no plot holes. Give it a try when you have time!

true, it's a style! penthouse is a good example because it has the most makjang tropes out of all dramas I've seen so far. But it's genre is thriller/drama/mystery. Historical dramas can be makjang as well as thrillers and melos. You can't really know unless you start watching it because it's not really labeled

hi! Would you say this drama is worth watching? I hesitated to start it because of all the makjang comments but your comment made me reconsider. I'm definitely all in for a serious adult drama! I also see Stranger in recommendations which is my all time fav drama

it's an over the top, exaggerated drama with crazy, soap opera like plot twist and often overly dramatic acting. Penthouse is zthe perfect example. I wanted to watch this so I surely hope it's not a makjang

I do. The background music is also over the top sometimes

I wasn't sure in ep12 especially when Bokhee was scolding her, she seemed to enjoy it a bit. But either way the romantic progress was non existent with with all the men and it would be quite a bad writing to throw her in a relationship with anyone. An open ending was the most we were going to get. I must say this writer really avoided all the clichés! Like, apart from the whole undercover operations, their relationships and personalities are all realistic and growing naturally like irl. I hope she writes more dramas

True, but after ep13 it was clear they weren't going to go down that road 😭 they were teasing us for a while. I'm just happy she chose sisterhood and didn't get back with her ex either 😍 I also hope to see him in more dramas as the ML! but I think his character here made it more special 🥺

And mdl ratings BETTER go up now it's about damn time

For two years now I've been looking for a drama that gives you all types of feelings, sadness and joy and anger and hope, series where you actually get a whole lot of developed characters you care for, with their own stories going on, who don't exist only to cater to main leads romance or life. I also wished to enjoy a drama that isn't a dark, gritty, fast paced thriller for once 😂 Now, two years later I found all of the above in UMH. Definitely going to binge it again.
Also, writers everywhere should take notes from this. This is how you write a 16 episode drama that's watchable without skipping.
Congratulations to all the cast and crew on fantastic ratings!

I can't believe I eagerly completed a 16ep kdrama and.. I want more?
