VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING DRAMA WITH AMAZING ACTORS

What an outstanding drama. Unique plot. Beautiful script. Amazing characters. I was addicted from start to finish. I had to drop the other one I was watching just to see how this played out and I was not disappointed at all. While most dramas about rich families just focus on their pampered lives, this one takes you down a path where you learn that behind all the prominence is pressure. Pressure to succeed and pressure to have children to succeed after you. The parents in sky castle will do anything to solidify the future of their children, but at what cost?

The main characters were multi-dimensional, thoughtfully written, and the actors executed their roles perfectly. There were quite a few scenes that got me emotional, and the well-written script enhanced the performance of everyone involved. The young actors and actresses in the cast gave great performances (especially Chani. He's an idol but he was very good at emotion), but the veteran cast stole the show. The housewives were undoubtedly the foundation of sky castle and their husbands were handfuls to match. My favorite family was Ye Seo's family. Fave character was Soo-Im. Her family was the only one I never got frustrated at and genuinely rooted for.

Overall I give this drama a 10/10. Even if you weren't a kid who grew up in a suffocating household like the sky castle children, there was still a lot to take away from this. I think the main themes are that what society dictates as success doesn't always bring happiness to those who achieve it and that one's happiness and self-identity should always be put above other people's expectations. There are other interesting themes and dark undertones. I agree that episode 16 was dragged out but it was only so you could see everybody get a happy ending but it's definitely skippable. I also think the ending was realistic because there will always be people in the world who crave money, status, and accomplishments to satisfy their greed. But it is never too late to realize one's errors and make amends for past mistakes and heal what is broken.

Just incredibly amazing

This
drama is just awesome. It is very well
written, all of the actors did a perfect job.

The cinematography is just perfect. The
direction is perfect too. The OST gives me
goosbumps and is always played at the
perfect timing. Every character is very
well-written and the drama has full of
twists and turns.

It a serious drama with serious topics but
the fact that it still makes you laugh out
loud at times is just fabulous. Its like the
drama is so perfect that it controls your
emotions. It’s a full roller coaster of
emotions and the fact the villain in this
drama isn’t shown as the “ most evil”
person is so much amzing. Like in other
dramas when they show that villain is the
worst person.

This drama showed us the perspectic of
the villain too and her reasons as why she
does the stuff she doing now. All the
characters have their own flaws. Mostly
dramas try to show that the main leads
are down-to-earth and are just perfect
but this drama did the exact opposite. It
showed how the main characters were
flawed a lot.

Also the drama gives a very strong
message to not only the Korean society
but to the whole world that why should
you pressurize your students so much to
study. Its just an awesome drama and I
just don’t have words to explain my love
for it.

It’s VERY Good

Although I was intrigued just by reading the synopsis of the drama, I still went into this not knowing what to actually expect. Before watching, I read a few reviews and comments and saw how a good bit of people actually didn’t like it bc they felt it was highly over exaggerated and unbelievable but trust me, it’s not. Parenting like that of this show actually happens in parts of the world and once those viewers understand that, they’ll realize that this drama isn’t as fictitious as they want to believe it is.

Anyway, on the the actual drama: First of all, the actresses/actors deserve awards bc I’ve seen so many shows/dramas/etc. in my 22 years of living but never have I seen such amazing on screen chemistry and talent. The only other drama I can say even comes close is Just Between Lovers.

The story and plot are both intriguing with many twists and surprises to keep the viewers hooked. And don’t even get my started on the ending omg. I swear, there NEEDS to be a season two but I’d be okay if there isn’t.

Please everyone, just go watch this. Some parts may make you want to reach through the screen and strangle a few ppl, but you’ll keep coming back for more. I guarantee it.

I wish I could explain it in words how much I love this drama. I have watched almost 75 Asian Dramas and recently when I watched this, it became my No.1. I never knew a Korean Drama can be this good. This drama deserves to be nominated for Emmy Awards (most famous awards for American Series).

The acting was Oscar worthy by almost all the actors and that makes watching this drama even more exciting.

I am so emotional right now. This drama has a place in my heart that no other drama has. I resonate with this drama so much.

I hope I get to see something more brilliant like this in future.

At first I thought it was overrated. But I am now sure after watching it that it deserves more love. As it's a Masterpiece

Made me intouch with my emotions

When I finished watching this show I’ve never thought that I could feel what I felt when I finished this show. I’ve watched many dramas but I have never been so in touch of my emotions after watching SKY Castle. When something happy happened I felt happy, when something was funny I laughed and when something was sad I cried my eyes out. No other show has made me think these feelings.

When I finished, I couldn’t just help just reflect on society and just realised how much in my life I’ve taken for granted. It sounds sad but after seeing what happened to Kim Hye-Na I’m just so grateful that I have parents who look after me and love me.

There were characters in which truthfully pissed me off but at the same time I couldn’t hate them because they were doing their actions out of greed or love, in the end they all were eaten away by guilt and eventually mellowed out and because decent human beings and lived their lives without lying to themselves. The OST “We All Lie” holds so much meaning to me after finishing SKY Castle because it showed me what lies can do to a person and how it can eat someone inside.

I highly recommend this show for your own enjoyment and also you could learn a life lesson while watching this show like I have and I’m most definitely going to live my life to the fullest and try to change myself.

Surprising!

I was unsure what to expect going into Sky Castle, I was aware of its incredibly positive reputation and central theme but not much more. I will say I was pleasantly surprised, yes some of the acting was over the top and yes some of the events of the plot were a bit out there but the storyline gripped me once it started going. It's crazy that some of these events of the drama mirror reality for some young people in Korea. I don't think its a drama I will ever revisit but its one I enjoyed nonetheless.

때로는 때로는 긴장하고, 때로는 슬프고, 때로는 슬프고, 때로는 좋지 않을 수도 있습니다. 그냥 농담이고 각 에피소드를 지켜 보는 것입니다.
참고로,이 드라마에서 그것은 정말로 약간의 로맨스입니다. 그것은 드라마가 풍성한 사랑 테마의 대부분을 키우지 않기 때문입니다. 그러나 그것은 지루하지 않습니다. 이 드라마의 가족은 완벽한 패키지이기 때문입니다. 자녀들을위한 부모님의 사랑은 우리로 하여금 그 순간 어머니를 포용하기를 정말로 원하게했습니다.
그래서이 드라마가 좋은지 아닌지, 또는 지켜지지 않을만한 가치가있는 사람들, 또는 이미 사랑에 빠져있는 사람들 - 사랑 이야기에 호기심을 가진 사람들에게는이 드라마가 추천됩니다!

The story overall is good, I relate to the story because I have lived similar incidents.. But the ending was too sweet for me as if another writer did it, if Hiye na didn’t die the ending will match the story but with her death which passed by as nothing & meaningless I didn’t like it. In the end the solution for the writer was not to study which didn’t fix anything but ignores the whole problem & present to us how spoiled the kids are because their parents will spend on them so they can do what they like. On the other hand, Seo Jin which was the main problem & villain for me, gets everything, the man, the happy ending, her mother in law liked her, her daughter changed which also gets everything in the end without a time to process the change or repent their sins.

as for the acting it was good though sometimes they either overreacted or was impassive & has no emotions.. but Kim seo Hyoung did a marvelous job as her role & acting skills was amazing.. which was the best amongst all.

Overall it was a good drama with lots of incidents but the twist in the end ruined the dark theme of it.

Damn. This series was great! Can't believe it aired in 2018 but never watched/heard about it before. I must commend all the actors and actresses though. Aside from their beautiful/pretty faces, they portrayed their roles very well. Professsor Cha's family is my favorite. ? Also for the plot/story.. I considered it as fast-paced but it does not seem like it was rushed. OST was also good. Everytime I hear it, it makes me hyped. As a teacher, I wish a lot of students, as well as their parents, can learn a lot and give them realizations. ENDING WAS VERY SATISFYING ❤

Una competencia mortal por ser el mejor

La élite coreana se reúne en este drama para evidenciar las falencias de un sistema educativo basado en la competencia.
Las familias de Sky Castle lo dan todo por la educación de sus hijos. Academias, mentores, dinero y más dinero, solo para que entren a la Universidad Nacional de Seúl y obtengan calificaciones perfectas.
Drama con rivalidad, competencia, muertes, peleas, pero también amor fraterno, complicidad y empatía.
Súper recomendado.
Sufres con estos chicos que cargan con tanto

A Riveting Indictment of Tiger Parenting...

As someone who was forced to go to dental school by his doctor and dentist parents, the plotline and trailer for this K-drama immediately captured my attention. Melodramatic and manipulative though also exciting and engaging, I can see why this drama is the second-highest-rated drama in Korean cable television history. Topical and relatable, this series showcases the detrimental effects of strict tiger parenting. 'Sky Castle' should be seen by all parents who push their dreams on their children, viewing him as trophies to brag about rather than as human beings with their own dreams and goals.

On a side note, it's hilarious how the parents were so obsessed with their children getting into medical school, but not finishing it. I absolutely ADORED Professor Cha's and Soo Han's families! They were easily my favourites out of all of the families at Sky Castle.

I love this drama. It is dramatic and yet you feel like it speaks to things that really happen in reality. The characters are profound, the episodes always have exciting cliff hangers and the soundtrack is so good. When I started this drama, I didn't expect anything big, but it surprised me positively. The dialogues are well developed and there are many surprising twists and turns. But what I love most is the profound characters. Each of them has a history and plausible motives. What also surprised me were the jokes. This drama is funny without being pushy. I laughed, cried, got excited and thought about this drama for a long time. Not every drama can do that.
