Compared with the previous two seasons, the ratings performance of "Penthouse 3" can be described as less than ideal.
Originally with the blessing of the first two seasons, the first episode of "Penthouse 3" broke the first viewership record of the series with a rating of 19.5%, but this data has not been surpassed since.
At the end of the day, it's because the plot of Penthouse 3 isn't so appealing anymore.

Recently, there is a report that the original script of "Penthouse" was exposed, which quickly caused a hot discussion on the Korean network.
Many netizens think that the original script is ten times more wonderful than the current version, and it is a pity not to shoot.
Let's take a look at what the original script looked like.
First, the character setting
Chu Hye-jin's mother is The Liang butler, not Kim Mi-sook, who was killed by Chu Dan-tae;
Qian Shuying is Qian Shuzhen's brother, not his half-sister;
In addition to Eun Seung-jeong, Qian Shuzhen and Xia Yunzhe also have a son named Eun Chan;
Qianshu's stepmother is Shen Xiulian's mother;
Qian Shuzhen and stepmother
Originally, shenyun group was not bankrupt, and Shen Xiulian's mother was the president of Shenyun group;
Zhu Dantai started by relying on Shen Yun Group, far less than the current version of the hand to the sky;
Luna is completely different from now, it is a replica of Zhu Xijing, and she once felt inferior because of her poor family situation, and had two faces of good and evil;
Luna
The original script was centered on Wu Yunxi, and the current version was changed to a group play;
The decent camp figures are Wu Yunxi, Logan Lee, and Eun Chan, not Shen Xiulian, Logan Lee, and Luna;
The biggest villain is not Zhu Dantai, let alone Qian Shuzhen, but Shen Xiulian...

Second, Min Xueya
Min Xueya and Pei Luna are twins, not Zhu Xijing, who bullied her;
Zhu Dantai killed Min Xueya instead of the drunken Wu Yunxi;
Min Xueya did not fall from the building and die, but fell down the steps and died, Shen Xiulian saw and acquiesced;
Wu Yunxi entered Hera's palace on the condition that he killed Min Xueya by default...

Third, the characters love and hate
Eun Seol is very dependent on Eun Chan;
Xia Yunzhe does not love Wu Yunxi, he loves Qian Shuzhen deeply, and even does not hesitate to bear the guilt for her;
Qian Shuzhen, Logan Lee, wu Yunxi are triangular relationships, and Qian → Luo → Wu;
Shen Xiulian cheated and also planned to snatch Logan Lee;
The original setting was Logan Lee & Wu Yoon Hee, not Logan Lee & Shen Xiulian;
Logan Lee & Oh Yoon Hee
Zhu Dantai and Shen Xiulian have a vendetta, Zhu was originally the son of a rich family, because Shen's parents led to the fall of the family, and his parents committed suicide;
Zhu Dantai and Shen Xiulian are in a love-hate relationship, and Zhu acquiesced to Shen wearing a green hat for himself;
It was not Zhu Dantai who killed Min Xueya and Luna's biological father, but Shen Xiulian's father;
Oh Yoon Hee adopts Luna;
Oh Yoon Hee and Luna
Min Hyuk likes Joo Seok Hoon instead of Jenny Liu;
Because Ju Seok-hoon likes Luna, Min Hyuk bullies Luna to death;
Zhu Xixun and Zhu Xijing almost kissed;
Hera Palace has a total of 6 children, 5 like Xi Xun...

It can be seen that the original script was almost changed beyond recognition.
The reason for all this is related to the casting to a certain extent.
In fact, in the beginning, Park Yin-suk played Xia Yun-chul, Ha Seok-chen played Logan Lee, and Shin Sung-rok played Ju Dan-tae.
Later, Shin Seung-rok took over the Korean drama "The Void" and resigned from "The Penthouse", Ha Seok-chen chose to get off the bus, and Logan Lee eventually spent Park Yinshuo.
Logan Lee played by Park In-sook
In addition, the actor who now plays President Song was scheduled to play the president of Shen Yun Group.
Comparing the two versions, it is not difficult to find that the relationship between the characters in the original script is more complicated, and the plot is more bloody.
If it was really filmed according to the original version, I am afraid that it would be able to shoot several seasons.
No wonder Jin Shunyu has not said a word so far, it is estimated that she is unhappy about the script being changed.
So, do you prefer the original script or the current version?
