“Voice,” which first premiered in 2017, has solidified its spot as a top Korean thriller drama with four seasons.

Few things are as satisfying as a well-crafted investigative thriller, whether in the pages of a book, within the dark surroundings of a theatre, or broadcasting to your TV screen every week. A few things hold true for the ones that capture the imagination.
Chief among those elements are the investigators through whose eyes we experience the story and the investigations themselves. Ideally, they are interesting stories that are cleverly revealed to viewers as the investigators uncover plot layers, bit by bit. However, these two elements are mutually dependent – without one, the other will not work.
The final season of the hit “Penthouse” series is here, and the residents of Hera Palace are still thirsty for revenge.
Set in a 100-floor luxury penthouse apartment called Hera Palace, the first season featured three women at the heart of the tale: the “queen” of the penthouse Shim Soo Ryeon (Lee Ji Ah), the “prima donna” Cheon Seo Jin (Kim So Yeon) who will stop at nothing to get what she wants, and Oh Yoon Hee (Eugene) who will do anything it takes to get into the world of high society. “The Penthouse 2” ended with Shim Soo Ryeon witnessing Logan Lee (Park Eun Suk) getting involved in a fatal explosion, and she’s about to get to the bottom of it all in the third and final season.

Voice began in compelling fashion, introducing us to a gruesome new group of killers, adding the suave Song Seung-heon as a co-star, and shifting the action to South Korea’s idyllic Jeju Island.
Combined, these elements were more than enough reason for us to dive back into the unique auditory investigations of Kang Kwon-joo (Lee Ha-na ) and her “Golden Time” emergency call centre team.
Sadly, after a breathless and intriguing opening, the show has barrelled forward with a hodgepodge of lacklustre investigations and a principal villain who has grown more confused and less threatening with each episode.
