The Penthouse: War in Life is really mysterious like the drama Law School. Just like this drama there is murder not 1 but a few. The plot twists are amazing as well. The dark vibe you get from this will really shake you up. The actors and actresses do an outstanding job with their characters. I was amazed. Definitely recommend it!!!

So..
It may seem well off but Penthouse strikes to be the much more modern and adapted version of Boys Over Flowers. I believe they follow the same basic plan of a drama and develop into different plots. In both series, a lot happens in every episode. The plot of Penthouse is more thought out and the quality of the drama is top. I rate both these dramas very highly, Boys Over Flowers is more of a comfortable vibe.
There will also be other similar shows such as:
Heirs (Inheritors)
Sky Castle
Meteor garden
The Chinese/ Thai remakes of BOF also
And other similar dramas…

the storylines of both drama are quite different but similar at the same time. Both are about the rich & privileged people who used their privilege and power to step on other people. The characters in both dramas hide murder and their crimes together to save their elite status, also Bong Tae Kyu and Yoon Jung hoon are in both dramas as friends, accomplices or partners in crime. Even characters of Bong Tae Gyu(Lee Kyu Jin) in both dramas are similar(childish & stupid). Anyway both dramas has the same feeling and ambiance.
Fun Fact: As first Shin Sung Rok(ML in Return)was to play the main character of Joo Dan Tae which is later replaced by Um Ki Joon due to schedule conflicts.
