Kdrama Penthouse did blackface?


Recommended Posts

Weird caricature aside, how are they conversing in two different languages? 🤔 They'd both be speaking the same language if they had one in common. The dude even has a translator at first, then he just leaves. 😆

i don't get why they want to kill off characters but then miraculously bring them back with twins. they already did that once so where is their creativity? using black actors to portray gangsters was a red flag for me but many people were defending it. now i want to see what mental gymnastics people do to excuse this character. just as i got over them getting rid of the lgbtq+ storyline as well. this show moving like riverdale and would've sufficed with one season instead of the plot getting more illogical and nonsensical

I kinda agree with you on riverdale. S1 of that show is really good. S2 is really bad and ridiculous. It's pretty similar with penthouse. They should have ended S1 by focusing on the main plot which is Seol A's death but the writer keep giving out the other unnecessary plots. Character wise, I like how some character's development in S2 but every character seems like back to how they were in S1 even after all that happens. Really disappointed with this drama.

The statement too 😕  what a mess

why
 

 

"Admiration"? Like that? Who thought this was a good idea? Clearly not an African American 🙄  I get he's an actor and may not have a word but why did the scriptwriters and the others involved think it was a good idea without consulting an actual African American? The plot is already going bad this wasn't going to save it.

Props to Park Eunseok for addressing the situation.

Erm, a person can understand a language and not speak it?
