[HanCinema's News] Kim So-yeon Thanks "The Penthouse" Staff for Celebratory Cake

On November 28th Kim So-yeon made a post on her Instagram account. In the relevant pictures, she can be seen standing in front of a cake that is in the back of a car while holding balloons and flowers. A nearby banner declares that Kim So-yeon is a thief, for stealing their hearts, and that they're hopeful she will come steal them again in season two of "The Penthouse".

The phrasing from the banner alone does not make this clear, but the text of the Instagram post explicitly confirms that the cake and decorations came from the staff of "The Penthouse", who Kim So-yeon credits with having had a fun and happy time on set. Kim So-yeon also thanks the staff. She can also be seen shining brightly.

This picture would appear to confirm that, for Kim So-yeon at least, filming for "The Penthouse" has ended. This is somewhat surprising, as it had been previously reported that production had shut down due to a COVID-19 outbreak, despite the drama being closed to finished. It is not clear, however, when the picture was taken.

The post would also seem to confirm that Kim So-yeon will return for the second season of "The Penthouse". Presumably staffpersons on the drama would be aware of her character's fate at the end of the story, and that a return is at least theoretically possible. However, with "The Penthouse" not yet completed, there is only the faintest speculation about what the storyline of the two subsequent sequel dramas could even be.
