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.

A Virtuous Business
(2024 - Netflix 12 1:30 eps)

Set in a small town in the early 90s, 4 women begin selling adult products. The money, & the breaking of taboos bring empowerment & friendship. For side stories, there is a mystery, some crime & romance.

Great acting, with period-appropriate costuming, sets, & props. The 4 FLs are struggling because of the men in their lives. We see how women are defined by their relationships with men & how difficult it is to have a sense of themselves because society refuses to acknowledge them as independent people.

The pacing is great, with a lot of marvelous comedy, touching moments, & friendship development. The last 1/2 of the last episode was slightly disappointing - not bad, & it wasn't that the story went astray - a different wrap-up would have been more appropriate.
