So it took me a little time to actually finish this (I actually binged it on a day I took off work as I was sick XD) but in a way I'm glad I binged it. If not I would have gone bold from the frustration of waiting for the next episode. This is one of those dramas that actually stay up for their hype. I actually watched the first few 4 eps and waited so in a way I did know it was gonna be awesome but damn the writers have done an excellent job in creating one hell of a unique story. Everyone was flawed, everyone had their secrets. Some not realistic but it gives a peak in to the rich and powerful people in Korea and how they actually use that power to get what they want. It also shows family dynamic. Not the cheesy "oh we're such a happy family" but real family problems.One thing I can't seem to agree is that I just can't like Kim Hye Na. She was without doubt my least favorite character yes she was standing up for the unfairness of everything but she just as the parents did, used everyone around her. While all the kids had some innocence in them KHN did not. Yes she was forced to mature earlier than everyone due to her mother's death but still I could not fathom how she went about with her revenge. In any way I do not think she deserved to die but still I didn't like her character. In my books my favorite was Ki Joon's and Suh Joon's mother. She didn't have supportive husband still she managed to get up and go against all odds. Even Woo Joo's mother at least had support from her son and husband but she made it on her own. Yes she needed a slight push by WJ's mom but still I applaud her for her strength. Specially loved the scene where she got er kids to carry their father out and throw him out of the house. Kudos for the twins too XD
Anyway I'm not so sure of the re-watch value due to the fact that the mystery element is clearly gone after watching it once but nevertheless I would really recommend this to anyone. One of the drama after Goblin for me that actually kept up to the praise it received ( I was not a fan of Reply 1988. Thought it was waaaaay overrated) With that I will finish my short review :)

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 really wanted to see this drama even if it's not my viewpoint as a scholar but it's just another stupid drama that tries to see things from the viewpoint of old people without actually changing anything. It doesn't bring any change to korean culture it just says "hey what we are doing is wrong" and that's it.

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!

Mabuhay!
Mabuhay! Maligayang pagdating sa SKY CASTLE kung saan makikilala mo ang mga mayayamang pamilya, respetado sa kani kanilang larangan at matatalinong bata.Ganda ng intro no? maituturing mong isang paraiso ang kanilang subdivision, PERO may isa kang kailangang gawin para manirahan at manatiling respetado, ano iyo? ang MAGSINUNGALING. siyempre sino ba ang gustong pagtawanan, laitin ng kapwa niya kapit bahay kapag nalaman nilang ikaw ay galing sa iisang pipitsuging pamilya, at nag aral sa di kilalang pamantasan diba? May panghahawakan kang dignidad. At ang dignidad na iyon ay hindi mo ipapa apak sa ibang tao.
Habang pinapanuod ko ito mga unang episodes ay nakakatawa siya, light mood pa eh yung tipong nagpapataasan sila tapos as usual may taga sulsol para magka iringan silang mga magkakapamilya, pero nagbago ang lahat nung namatay yung nanay ni myung joo at nung pumasok na sa eksena ang tutor at doon na nagkanda letse letse idagdag pa natin yung paglipat nina soo im. Grabe nakaka stress itong palabas na ito pero worth it naman siya panoorin, marami kang matututunang aral dito. base nga sa kanilang ost na we all lies. Tama nga naman din kailangan nating magsinungaling para magkaroon ng katotohanan. Ang tanong, masama ba ang magsinungaling? pero bago mo masagot iyan, ano ba ang tama at mali? ano ba ang batayan para masabing tama iyan at mali ito at vice versa.
Tapos relatable siya saakin kasi ang kuya ko ay nag stop ng pag-aaral and pag nag aask ang mga friends ni mama ay sinasabi niya na ayon nag aaral pa rin kuno. hindi naman ikinakahiya ni mama si kuya pero ayaw niya lang kasing siguro na pag usapan pa ng mga kaibigan niya diba? ako naman ay naiinis pero pinagbibigyan ko lang, hoy ang hirap kaya ng ganon kailangan mong magsinungaling para lang sa ikabubuti ni kuya diba. Well kayo na manghusga kung mali ba iyon o tama.

Почему стоит смотреть?
от этой дорамы я была в полном восторге! один из немногих сериалов, где было сложно предугадать действия героев. При этом дорама поднимает острый социальный вопрос классового неравенства и подхода у обучению, а так же насколько высока нагрузка у корейских школьников (собсно из-за чего и случаются самоубийства). Все что показывают в данной дораме имеет место быть и в реальной жизни. Сериал побил всевозможные рейтинги просмотров в Корее.Was this review helpful to you?
