SKY CASTLE

SKY CASTLE

Cast : Kim Bo-ra and Kamg Chan-hee

Storyline : Housewives living at the exclusive Sky Castle community use every way they can think of to get their children into Seoul National University.

It's not the typical kdrama but a more realistic one. It makes you laugh, cry, sympathize and what more can you ask for in a drama.It shows the harsh reality of today's generation. 

It discusses on issues such as peer pressure in today's education system both by school and parents,deaths due the stress and other issues teenagers go through. It's been so long for a drama to have such a convincing and satisfying ending. One could not love or hate the characters unless the actors did a convincing job. 

And this drama has got the bestest crew. Each and every family will make you fall in love with them, despise them and empathize with them. The evolution of each and every character is totally believable and makes you understand the meaning of life.  

The constant theme in Sky Castle is ethics, have faith in your children's own hard work and progress without beating them over their heads to succeed. Do not destroy a child's spirit for the parent's own greed. 

However,it ends on a note where it explains that it's okay not be perfect , it's okay not to get into Harvard, it's okay if you don't get into medical school, it's okay if you want to take a year break, it's okay if you want to drop out, it's okay if you don't want to be a doctor or engineer or prosecutor.All you need yo be is happy and healthy and as parents you need to understand that not getting into a University doesn't means end of the world. 

I enjoyed this drama and would give a 9.2/10 for acting,story telling and direction.
