SKY Castle

Wow, every episode just keeps get better as the story unfolds. It really brings awareness on the social issues concerning the education system and also how the high class members of society desperately tries to make sure their child succeed in every way. It also brings to light the stuffs students have to go through in dealing with pressure at home and at school.

A masterpiece, and not just the brilliant acting but also the writing, direction, OST, sound effects, camera work-all of it in perfect sync, perfect timing as each scene weaves its tragi-comic spell. The satire on these parents is spot on and very satisfying, but the effects of such obsessive behavior are wrenching for their kids. The series is relentless from the beginning in exposing the narcissism and danger of parental intrusion in their children's lives for their own self-glory.

SKY Castle is a satirical drama that criticizes practices from corrupt business hierarchy to extreme parenting environments. The drama has impeccable directing, story is full of plot twists, comedy is subtle and melds well, and the cliffhangers are absolutely wild. The drama tends to often be dramatized, especially as it is a satirical work, but the underlying themes are never truly lost. Brilliant directing and production, engaging plot, convincing acting with a powerfully befitting soundtrack to boot. This drama is very well worth your time.

All this chaos because everyone wants their kids to become doctors. Wonderfully acted and the story line is engaging compared to the plethora of rom-coms littered on my Netflix home screen. A tad too long, the final act lasts a couple episodes more than necessary. I can't say I enjoyed it on a personal level because holy ... 90% of the cast is sooo unlikable. Most of the time I was going ... eff these rich ass people ... Which goes to show you how well acted the families are.

This drama is so stressful. Watching it, I was thinking about myself as being a student. I have never gone through this much. Maybe this drama is exaggerating much yet this practice is done someplaces. Like I watched a documentry where I got to know Korean students actually reads 12-14 hours.

However, I loved this drama. It has so many leyers, you can't but wandering around. Everyone is hiding something, everyone is trying to reach the top of the pyramid by any means. It also shows the bad side of Korean education system or can say harsh education system and misuse of power so amazingly. What happend in end, clarifies what actually education,moral, happiness actually means. Power doesn't buy happiness and peace of mind.
