'Penthouse 2: War in Life' Episode 4: Why did Bae Ro-na return? Yoon-hui's plan for revenge hurts her daughter
'Penthouse 2: War in Life' saw Bae Ro-na return to South Korea from the US without her mother Yoon-hui's knowledge leaving her in a bad place. Turns out Yoon-hui confessed to her daughter about killing Min Seol-ah, Su-ryeon's daughter and that creates a huge rift between her and her mother. After Yoon-hui had been released, she had left the country along with Ro-na.
However, one of the things that Logan had her do was to confess the truth regarding what really happened the night of Min Seol-ah's death. Ro-na has now begun to see her as she would a monster and this was why she had stopped keeping in touch with Yoon-hui as well.

However, Ro-na seems to have other ideas as she ends up approaching Seo-jin to beg her to accept her back into Cheong-A Arts School. At this point, it is not clear how Logan would allow something like this to occur since he also wanted to exact revenge on Seo-jin and Dan-tae as much as Yoon-hui. It is also clear that Seo-jin will attempt to manipulate and use Ro-na to hurt Yoon-hui and we cannot help but wonder, will Ro-na end up pulling her mother down again.
While we cannot entirely blame Ro-na, she did push her mother to the corner when Seo-jin had tried to leave her out of the admissions process in the first season. She had also blamed her mother for not getting into the school. It was under this pressure that Yoon-hui had been in when she had attacked Seol-ah. Now, Ro-na has returned yet again and Seo-jin has already begun to think of ways that she could use Ro-na to protect herself from an attack.
Can Yoon-hui really let Seo-jin off this time to save her own daughter? Beyond all of this, where is Logan? We understand that his powerful father might very well be in cohorts with Dan-tae as we had seen at the end of Season 1.
However, he was the one to have helped set Yoon-hui up with a voice that she had had before Seo-jin had attacked her with a trophy that she had won by cheating. If one were to go by merit alone, the trophy would have belonged to Yoon-hui, instead, she was left with nowhere to go and vocal cords that were completely damaged.
Now, a lot is at stake considering how Yoon-hui and Yoon-cheol had even faked a marriage to ensure that they could somehow end up getting back at the couple who ruined all of their lives.
At the same time, Ro-na will also end up damaging Eun-byeol's self-esteem like it did the first time around. Similarly, she might also bring a rift between Seok-hoon and Seok-hyung. Jenny's mother will also learn about her daughter being bullied by the other kids and this is what ends up creating problems between her and Dan-tae.
Yoon-hui and Logan have only one shot, and if they do not succeed, Hera Palace's owners Dan-tae and Seo-jin will become untouchable.
'Penthouse: War in Life' Season 2 episodes will air on Fridays and Saturdays at 10 pm KST on SBS and can be streamed on Viki.
