The plot is brilliant and ADDICTIVE, honestly. Towards the end, everything crashes together and implodes. Every single episode builds layers onto the core plot. This is a slow-burning drama that starts with a few threads that multiply and tangle, leading to chaos in the end. There are other smaller threads as well but if I bring up every single one of them, we’ll be here all day.
There is respectability and pride, classism, elitism, and how far one goes to achieve something. While academia is the core of the drama, the plot is built on other aspects as well. It shows how academia and grades rules families, familial relationships, how one lives their life, how one is respected, and more. That is one thing I LOVED about this drama. But academia bleeds into Asian lives regardless of the family member. It is generally spoken about in terms of parental, societal, and peer pressure on students and the adverse effects of it. the plot was brilliantĮducation matters a lot in Asian families.
SKY CASTLE RATING HOW TO
I have SO MUCH to say about this drama and I don’t know how to say it all without becoming a blubbering mess of “IT IS BRILLIANT!” All I want to do is shout “WATCH THIS” and hope people pick it up, LOL. They come together to create this brilliant drama with several layers. While these women are the core of the drama, their families and some other characters are also a part of the main cast. The last critical woman is Kim Joo-young, a university coordinator/teacher who manages students’ studies and portfolios to get them into the best universities. All the other families look down on them because of their low roots. Her family is not used to luxury and moving into the posh neighbourhood called Sky Castle is a novelty for them. In contrast to the above women, we have Lee Soo-im, an author from a humble background. She seems to be stoic and a pushover but she is actually quite smart and cares about her children. Jin-hee also dreams of getting her son into Seoul medical university later on.Īlongside them, there is No Seung-hye, the wife of a law professor who is the most elegant of them. She looks up Seo-jin a lot and follows her decisions. Then there is Jin Jin-hee, Seo-jin’s “best friend” and right hand, who is not as polished as Seo-jin but wishes to be. Her family is seemingly perfect on the outside but has several cracks that others don’t see. The most important character is Han Seo-jin, the wife of a high-profile doctor whose goal is to get her elder daughter into Seoul medical university. While the drama is about four affluent families, the stars of the show are the women of these households and how they run everything. Sky Castle is a dark satirical drama about the lives, motivations, and greed of upper-class families and how it all comes down to academia.
