Synopsis
The Penthouse (펜트하우스, 2020) is a South Korean crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Joo Dong-min. Set inside Hera Palace, a fictional 100-storey luxury complex in Seoul's Gangnam district, it became one of the most-watched Korean dramas of its era — appointment television built entirely on revenge, class warfare, and operatic betrayal.
The residents of the top floors are wealthy, ruthless, and deeply connected to the world of classical music education. Status here is measured in floor numbers. One woman will cross every line to reach the penthouse, and the transformation from ambition to something uglier is the engine of the whole show. The series runs three seasons — launched in late 2020, completed in 2021 — and each episode ends at exactly the moment it hurts most to stop watching.
This is not a show interested in subtlety, and that is precisely the point. The villains are glamorous, the plot turns come fast, and the melodrama is fully committed to itself. Stream all seasons of The Penthouse online on iFILM.
