Both of these dramas are black comedies that skillfully take on the controversial class division that exists in Korean society. These dramas particularly focus on extremely wealthy and educated families with dark secrets that threaten to ruin their perfectly (and somewhat falsely) constructed reputations. There's also some forbidden romance and even a bit of danger. You're in for a treat.
SKY Castle is almost like the drama version of Parasite, minus the theme on the broken education system (well not really, there's a similarity here since the poor son entered into the rich family's house as the English tutor for their high school daughter). The rich families in SKY Castle resemble the rich family's life in Parasite, except in the movie there's not much background about the rich family so you have to extract it from their small conversations, e.g. when the husband and wife are spending the night together on the couch. Both are heavy on social commentaries and have a good mixture of satire and shock elements. Enjoy!
both dramas are similar in a way that the plot surrounds students being pushed to do extreme things in order to pursue a successful future.
however, sky castle focuses a lot on family reputation and how one failure in the family can drag everyone down altogether, leading to a lot of mind manipulation and emotional casualties.
definitely recommend watching sky castle if you enjoyed extracurricular!
