However, other netizens were concerned that “It’s Alright” would just be a “Penthouse” wannabe. They believed that even if the cast stayed the same, it could never be as great, and shoving in all these characters would only create a fragmented story. “It’s Alright” will likely become a failed version of “Penthouse”, these netizens claimed.
