Penthouse S1 Ep. 7: “I broke my rule for YOU!”

Welcome back Roomies! So sorry about taking last week off without notice. Although I didn’t take the week off I was just extremely busy with work and school that I for some odd reason had already thought that this episode had been edited and scheduled for upload.

Yeah that was the week I had…

Anyways, please join me as I discuss the intensity that is in this drama. We have an affair, we have a breakup and a make up, childish adult pranks, we have Rona aka the biggest B bratting off to her mama, the student body bullying Rona, and poor Yoonhee working hard for little to no appreciation.

What in the childish prank is going on with the three men? Did Dante the Devil kill Min Seol A? How did Seok-Hoon know about that night? But most importantly, did that patient, that Dr. Ha performed surgery on, live?

Penthouse S1 Ep. 6: "This position was already yours."

Welcome back Roomies! Make sure to grab yourself a cup of coffee or wine or whatever drink of choice because this episode is a long one.

Join me as I discuss the wild events that are occurring as Su Ryeon starts to avenge her daughter’s death, the Secretary Yoon being a kind soul and helping out Su Ryeon, the Devil catching on, how SeoJin went from SeoJin to being Satan, and poor Yoonhee making bad decisions left and right.

What happened to the sketchy congressman? Why is Secretary Yoon helping out Su Ryeon? But most importantly, why is no one making the right choices?

Penthouse S1 Ep. 5: “She died because of me!”

Welcome back, Roomies! And so sorry about that 2-week hiatus. I hope you guys are charged up and ready to listen to episode 5.

I really wanted the video portion to work. I really did but I have been having issues with my camera and I noticed that editing was MUCH more difficult and longer when I had a video portion. So for now, I will only have audio uploads. I will try to fix the camera issues and find a way to record both audio and video for this podcast but not now. With school and work, I am drowning.

ANYWAYS, please join me as I discuss the crazies and all the chaos that has happened since the last episode: Suryeon learning of the evil deeds of everyone around her, the rich Hera Club Kid’s getaway trip, Anna’s USB, vandalism at the Hera Palace, Yoonhee’s “court” hearing at the school.

Who killed Min Seol A (aka Anna)? Was it Yoonhee? Was it one of the Hera Club kids? Or was it the maid? The maid is real suspicious! But most importantly, what the heck happened to the sketchy congressman?

Penthouse S1 Ep. 4: “Mom is so sorry for not recognizing you!”

Welcome back Roomies! Welcome back to another episode! Today we are discussing…*drumroll*.....MORE INSANE EVENTS. Brought to you by Dantae the Devil.

Join me as I discuss the Hera Club members covering up Min Seol Ah’s murder, the women hustling in their ball gowns, Su Ryeon learning about her real daughter, and Eunbyeol’s suspicious activities. Was it really Yoonhee that killed Seol Ah? What is up with the maid? Will Su Ryeon be discovered? But most importantly, does Su Ryeon have super sonic speed?

Penthouse S1 Ep. 2: "You're not even my real mom!"

Hello Roomies! Welcome back to Room 343!

I honestly feel like I am being too detailed when talking about these episodes so starting from episode 3, I will try to just talk about the big events and skip the minor details.

But do let me know which you guys prefer: long & detailed vs. short & big picture.

Join me as I discuss Yoonhee blackmailing to get what she wants, Dantae and Seojin’s continued affair, Seojin trying to prevent Rona from doing well on the Chung Ah Arts High School Admissions Test, the reason behind the twins’ angst, Anna’s poor situation, along with the scams.

How will Anna get out of that bullying situation? Will Rona move up from the waitlist? Will Anna use that blackmail-worthy footage of Dantae and Seojin? But most importantly, what in the world is up with the maid?

Penthouse S1 Ep.1: “You can sing over my dead body!”

Hello Roomies!

Are you guys ready to talk about episode 1 of Penthouse?!?

I am!! WOOT WOOT!

Disclaimer: this episode is quite long. I got carried away with the notes.

For next episode, I will try to make it brief and just summarize the big points...sorry

Join me as I discuss potential MURDER on the first episode, attempted homicide, psycho parents, soprano singers yelling, and rich people parties.

Was Anna pushed off the building or was it a suicide? Will Rona get kicked out of the school? Will Yoonhee make sure Rona gets into ChungAh Arts High School? But most importantly, how did Yoonhee survive the neck slice?

Hwarang: The Beginning Ep. 9: "I will kill anyone who makes you cry."

Hello! Welcome back to Room343!

Please join me as I discuss my least favorite episode in this drama. This episode was rough y'all, I'm just saying.

Join me as I talk about the never-ending cycle of flashbacks on flashbacks on flashbacks, Aro figuring out the truth, Sam's confession, Seon-woo's confession, the Queen's confession, Princess Sook-myung's arrival, the Hwarang's performance, and Ban-ryu's decision.

In retrospect, I understand that half-siblings were allowed to be married if they were in the royal line. I mean the Queen explained that but I was probably not paying attention and was just plain grossed out.

What the heck is going on in this episode? Does the Princess really not recognize her own brother? When will the Queen finally take the hit that Ahn Ji-gong is not interested in her? But most importantly, what is wrong with Aro? Seriously girl, get yo' self together!
