Comments

whynot Jun 14 2021 10:25 am Why are all these women not employed? Is the drama from 1940?

Find me Jun 13 2021 6:58 am I somehow find this drama irritating and fun somehow....but I like the characters especially the jin jin-hee family because they make me laugh when the husband is drunk or sick....but I liked them all(characters) some have boring characteristics...

I'd rate this drama (8.5/10)

Ten May 27 2021 1:32 am Can someone maybe give a little explanation... about Soo Im? From beginning to end, she is portrayed as someone who is never wrong. But most of the big things she does is oh so wrong. Writing another family’s tragedy like it’s her own story to tell? Getting angry that they don't give her permission? Meeting with someone else’s child for interviews without a parent’s consent? Pushing her views onto others? And so many other things. She is nosy and self righteous. But because the series seems to make her the good guy through it all, I can’t help but wonder if something is lost in translation or if it’s a culture thing? Do Koreans really feel the things she’s done is supposed to be right and okay!? Because... wow, it is not right to me at all o_o...

Meh May 23 2021 3:16 pm I went through this drama basically hating everyone except Teacher Jo who was just doing his job. Hyena, Soo-Im and Seung Hye were my top 3 annoyances but I'm sure the majority would disagree with me. Soo Im really irritated me with how much of a busy body she was, acting like the better person but constantly wedging herself into the drama anyway... And then insisting on writing about what happened with Young Jae like it was her truth to tell. Seo Jin's obsession with one upping everyone also became a constant running joke for me. Basically Teacher Jo was the only one I didn't feel like slapping while watching this.

CV May 16 2021 6:08 am Great drama. Innovative story, great cinematography, great acting,plot and all. This is the first drama where i can't expect what will happen next. So unpredictable. Good job. Ohhh and the ost really built the vibe

Kdrama Apr 06 2021 7:35 am Just finished the drama after 15 straight episode. I found out its funny that many comments think ye seo better than hye na. The only reason she give in not because she have good heart but because its make woo joo go to jail. I guarantee u if it is not woo joo she will never ever think about it for a second. Hye na looks bad but from her perspective its understandable. And i prefer that family crumble almost all members in that family is first grade liar and hypocrite.

Realistic Fan Apr 03 2021 6:26 am Sorry, I'm just here to say that – I find it hilarious and a bit sus that this drama came out just a few months after the 2019 College Admissions Bribery Scandal broke out.

Chengcheng Apr 01 2021 9:33 am Han seo jin was really annoying!!!!!!!! Hyena was already dead she still selfish!!!!! She only cares for her daughter that is too much spoiled

Chengcheng Apr 01 2021 1:49 am I was so iritated with seojin attitude!!!! And her daughter grhhhh

Jaz Mar 15 2021 1:11 am The hell, I'm watching it because after 2 years late, didn't knew that this drama was on top 10 highest rating. At first, i felt that it was boring, but after awhile it got suspense and the character began to reveal their personality. It deserved my praise! Bravay¬

MB Feb 27 2021 3:16 am This drama has it all. It doesn't lack anything. It was honestly a nice break from all those teen dramas, where all you get is a love triangle and cheesy ending. This thing is more complex and it talks about real issues. That's why should people pay attention to it. Definitely recommend watching this.

alfpa Feb 25 2021 1:45 am one of the most epic kdramas I've ever watch. the storyline, cinematography, actors, actress, director, staffs are top tier!! i got so much from this kdrama. istg SC deserves an oscar

Paula Feb 07 2021 11:13 pm A stand out drama once again showing and proving that older actors are so much cleverer, more experienced and better actors than the young stars. It obviously takes some years to learn the craft. I started watching Run On, terrible acting, same Start Up Hospital Playlist. Private Lives was good and CLOY of course. Back to Sky Castle , brilliant acting by the 8 parents and Dr Kim. Young Jung Ah stand out and Jung Joon Ho also Kim Byung Chul but all good. The young kids didn’t stand a chance against them. About the theme, fascinating. Korea is starting to follow along with Japan, China and Thailand the American model of hot housing their children and doing everything money and illegal acts can do to get their kids to win. Unfortunately, there are people inside the institutions in on it getting a take, so that is how it succeeds. Korea, wake up before it is too late.

Luckily, it is not so easy in the UK to cheat the system. You find genius students in Oxford and Cambridge that are there on their excellence and have poor backgrounds or uneducated parents. Professors who are the first generation of excellence. Also, both Oxford and Cambridge set separate additional exams and interviews after the University entrance exams have been completed, so their new students are a year older. Australia and New Zealand are still pretty straight but it could be just beginning with China insisting universities teach certain Chinese components in their syllabus.

Asia is famous for its Tiger Mums who make heir children study 18-20 hours per day, not realising that this actually stunts their potential.

Congratulations Sky Castle for bringing this important topic to light. Great Directing giving the older leads a pretty free rein to ad lib and do their parts. Some great scenes. Good photography and script writing. Interesting for the young actors to be shown up so much. Needed more of an ending for Mr Jo.

Arif Se. Feb 06 2021 8:56 am The first half of this drama is really boring and annoying, but don't know why i just couldn't stop to watch because of the curiosity. The last quarter is really tearjerker.. the mother's love makes me cried a lot. And in the last episode, i felt so entertained by Cha min hyuk. His expression when he knew nothing about Hye na is really funny and when he is being consoled by his wife.. From this drama we learn that grade and title is not everything and being greedy will only ruin everything we have.

Jane Jan 27 2021 7:24 pm the perfect slice of life kinda drama! the actors and actresses are perfectly nailed every character. the ost that always played at the end of each eps was really building up the spirit of this drama, makes it really hard to stop at one episode and to not continue it to the next one! its true that expectation ruins reality, especially the too much one!

L Jan 17 2021 1:30 pm ?

sunflwrssss Jan 13 2021 3:52 am this is the best drama ever, there's nothing more to say! i just recommend everyone who's reading this to watch this drama! and this drama is what makes me fall in love with kim hye-yoon

Lisa S Jan 08 2021 1:32 am I guess many couldnt figure out that one of the joke here is " Park Mi Hyang " is the registered name of the Kim Jung On (north korea's leader) sister in the Bern, Switzerland when she was studying. Han seo jin's real name is actually park mi hyang in this drama :D

none of your business Dec 28 2020 6:19 am idk why, but i hate hye na and su im :)) i love seojin but the fact that they made them bad afterwards i really can't choose who to side on.... then i really hate mostly hye na t the point that i want to side with ye seo HAHAHAHA

Solada Srisak Dec 24 2020 2:43 pm that growth in ratings though omg

mg Sep 27 2020 2:18 pm And also this series gives me Big Little Lies vibes for no reason

mg Sep 27 2020 2:09 pm not only for kdrama fans, this drama has unique vibes, anyone around the globe should watch it.

Eranga chamara Sep 20 2020 5:13 am After I finshed watching first 10 episodes ,I felt Im going to have a heart attack .

09/10

diana chan Sep 06 2020 7:44 am This drama is honestly 10/10. The reason being it touches on many real life issues eventhough it may seem cliche but the whole plot was executed very well by the actors and actresses. The drama touches on sensitive issues that are real and prevalent in most society that many people have closed one eye / not aware with. The mental health implications and plot twists really are real life examples that are happening around the world. A great drama overall!

K2_KimJeHa Aug 10 2020 11:30 pm Plot: 6/10... The plot is simple all about greed and ambition... Nothing exceptional...

Acting: 10/10... The actors nailed theit characters...

Excution: 8/10... How they laid out the story is perfect...

One plot hole that I notice is that they didn't clarify how Hye Na really died... it was only establish that Coach Joo Young is the mastermind... but on how she really died during the night of Woo Joo's Birthday is unclear ... Who killed her??? The Driver??? Teat

Nia K. Haryanto Jul 26 2020 4:37 am I’m extremely glad I watch this drama. Another Korean Drama that everyone must watch. It are always very relevant to many individuals. A satirical, a black comedy drama. Really, It’s a whole new level of pyscho with a very heart-wrenching plot. Reminder for all parents in the world. Two thumbs up for the cast, for the writer, and all people behind it.

shark Jul 24 2020 8:19 pm i hate han and kang!!!!!!!!

Linkin Jun 24 2020 12:17 pm One of the most epic dramas last year!!! It offered a lot more than was advertised.

And might I add, as a villain, Kim Seo-Hyung does a fantastic job!

tru though Jun 21 2020 9:54 pm there are lots of aspects to this drama that even i can relate to, being brought up with such a pressure on education. and then making unwanted decisions due to all that pressure. this is a reality, probably moreso in korea. I am so glad this was brought to awareness through this drama

ben May 26 2020 9:56 am Damn, went from a 1% rating to one of the highest rated cable tv shows

Really loved the acting of all the veteran actors and the rookie ones. I liked how they used many fresh faces as the cast for the children and gave them an opportunity to shine

This whole drama felt like an adventure and every episode was so exciting! Favourite couple is Jin Jin and the doctor with the problematic back, they were so entertaining

and oh my goodness, Coach Kim's facial expressions really made me want to slap her, it was all so natural i loved her acting (and she's so gorgeous too)

Kang Ye Seo!!!! Jin Jin said in an interview that she was shocked because Kim Hye Yoon (actress for yeseo) did not hold back at all in front of the veteran actors and just shouted at them when she had to. Even Kang Joon Sang (yeseo's dad) said in an interview he felt abit angry when Yeseo was so rude to him, shows how good Kim Hye Yoon is at acting HAHA love her so much

But I felt like the last episode was abit draggy? i guess they wanted to give a nice closure for everyone but I felt that it took too long and seeing how intense the drama was in almost every episode, the last episode felt too happy and peaceful (?) But the very last scene, where they showed Coach Kim's face... gave me goosebumps... SKY Castle Season 2? O.o

shi May 22 2020 7:01 am quite entertaining but maybe not just my typical drama. Its all about extreme obsession about title, ranking in society and getting the kids to top school. Dealing with so much inferiority complex to the point of nonsense. I couldn't believe that such culture in Korea exist. The actors are excellent 9/10. story 6/10.

Jumuseyo May 21 2020 9:26 am Just finished this drama, I started to run out of k dramas to watch so decided to watch this. I’m pretty glad I did. It’s not the best k drama in my opinion but it does teach great morale especially for parents, students, well any individuals out there about greed and ambition. Many of us think too much about bragging about ourselves or our children about how they are where they study, their grades, etc. never heard such thing as ‘coordinator’ in korea before until i watched this drama. Pretty sure that it actually exists in south korea seeing how TOO seriously people take education in korea. Hours and hours of studying and doing assignment. They barely get any sleep at night all because they need to get into top universities to actually be recognized... what an irony. I hope this drama opens many eyes. Hope it reaches out too many people. Too many students became victims of their depressions trying to survive this. It needs to stop. I’m a mother too but would not want to take extreme measures for my child’s education bcs people here arent as obsessed with education as how it is in korea. Ps the bad guys in this k drama really get into my nerves!!

hehe May 15 2020 11:29 am This drama just reveals how the society in this world nowadays. A lot of parents want their kids to be successful, yes its not wrong, just that their methods of teaching their kids can be wrong. Being ambitious is good but being over ambitious can make us blind and forget about humanity. The characters are being real here as well. Anyway im so pissed with Kim Yo Jong. She's so evil.

Honey May 12 2020 9:43 pm I love this drama

secret J May 06 2020 6:13 pm We all lie !!!!

Tops Apr 29 2020 7:51 am Hye Na -why does she need to be symphatised? She is smart enough and can move on and live her life to the fullest, but why is she being revengeful? She needs to get what she deserved?? By ruining others' life? Wow. She deserves to die bcos she keeps provoking others and is not being grateful. Shes smarter than Ye Seo. Thats it. No need to provoke Ye Seo. Hye Na is such a pretentious bitch. Shes not kind. She treated the maid like trash.

Ye Bin - everyone loves her cos shes not a mess. But how come she love Hye Na more than her own sister? How come shes defending Hye Na's mother and hurt her own mum feeling?? Why? She likes it that her father has another woman and baby? She likes it?

Woo Jo - stupid guy. He likes Hye Na cos he thinks shes kind, brave and strong. Lol but that is only Hye Na's acting. Shes pretentious.

Hye Na was raised with love and well mannered but how come she is being revengeful? Ye Seo was raised as a spoil brat but im surprised that she has a common sense towards Woojo. That proves that Ye Seo has a more sincere heart than Hye Na. I like Ye Seo because she only minds her own business. Yes she is arrogant but that does not bother anyone. Unlike Hye Na, looks so nice but she ruins others' life.

Yuya Linn Apr 24 2020 4:21 pm One of the best k drama that i've ever watched.. it's worth to watch all episodes the whole night..

Kimkim Apr 18 2020 10:34 am I like this kind of drama. Jtbc drama always surprised me

go ara Apr 07 2020 10:18 am This drama surprised me ! At the beginning i was like nah this is not my type of dramas but i was just bored and decided to watch it , i was going to give up from the first episode but the ending of each episode makes me want to watch the next ep ,the director was really brilliant that every end makes us want more , about the characters am i the only one that hated kim hye na ?? She is really too much and i was happy that she died like that coz she played a game that's bigger than her and she kept provoking every character even if she was yeh suh's sister she shouldn't have provoked her and her mom like that and wanted to destroy their lives , she could have gone to her dad and told him that she was her daughter from the beginning , otherwise i liked yeh suh's character even she was a little rude but i liked the fact that she's not too faced like hye na , also i liked that she wasn't influenced by kim joo young like the son of the previous family , at the end she didn't want to stay quiet and saved woo joo from staying in the jail , jin jin and her family was annoying and every time they appear i skip their scenes. at the end i recommand this drama this is worth watching

Kpopandgrime Mar 29 2020 2:09 pm I’m not going to lie, I was about to skip this drama when I first saw the poster and the plot synopsis. Thought it would be a slow and one those dramas that u would only chat around a table. However this drama was not what i expected and it blew my imagination. Daebak !!!

I fell in love with all 4 families and this one of the few dramas which linked all the families so exceptionally well and the audience had to fall in love. This definitely jumped into my top 10 and for me personally this drama is better than Goblin. All I’m gonna say is do not skip this drama due to the poster or the synopsis of the drama. Highly Recommend!!!

Love From London ❤️

Sweetie Mar 22 2020 8:47 am This story is for mothers or parents out there. Realize there should not be and should be. Anyway I think this is not my cup of tea but makes me realize I cannot keep hating Kim hye na and Kim joo-yoong.. This two character is really a damn two faced in overall they are most damn.. Unlikely the others.... Anyway is a good drama..

Oof Mar 21 2020 4:23 am Nothing about this drama appealed to me tbh The over melodramatic plotline itself was a tad too much, add in makjang tropes and it was a total turn off.

The performances were great though especially Kim Seo Hyung and Kim Hye Yoon. You know the actor's doing an amazing job if he/she is making you hate the character beyond reasoning.

Only recommended to people who enjoy makjang or over the top school dramas mixed in it makjang tropes.

Madman999 Jan 20 2020 9:32 pm Overall great drama. Writer and director did an exceptional job of leaving you on a cliff hanger at the end of each episode. Great acting and worthy of all the awards and accolades. Lots of the characters were people you loved to hate showing you their good sides and bad sides. Good use of humor and light situations to keep the mood from being completely dark.

chicken L0ver Dec 18 2019 11:45 pm I can't help but hate Kim Hye Na and Lee Sue Lim in this drama >.<

gelly Dec 04 2019 2:26 am I love this drama. Gad. Some thing that should be watched by parents who keep pushing their children to take what the parents want.

I've seen people (even myself) who were pushed to take this course or study in the university they didn't like and ended up lost in the crowd. Even in high school, I've seen people get depressed or cut themselves over the pressure of grades and extracurricular acts dictated by their parents.

P

Dora the Explorer Nov 30 2019 2:50 am This drama stressed me out real time. I know to myself that I am greedy too but not like these characters. The things they can do just to reach their needs were too much. This really stressed me out to the point I watched it without sleeping just to finish this drama, I actually didn't go to school just to watch this. I personally thought that everyone of them were mentally sick. How could they push their children to study nonstop just to fulfill their selfishness and egoism. How sad it is to think that they raised their children like that because they were also not raised right. And the fact that Kim Joo Young coaches students just to feel less guilty for what she did to her daughter were so irritating. She felt like the students she coaches to, were hers. Just thinking of them stresses me. Anyways, they are all sick. They got bad parenting skills except Lee Soo Im's family, Jin Jin's family although they sometimes got greedy but they overcame it for the sake of their son, and of course No Seung Hye.. she really deserves respect! She became mentally and emotionally strong for the sake of her children. She did what she had to, she did what a Mother should. Some of them were really selfish and got blinded by their ambitions to the point they push their kids for the dreams they didn't reached. I understand all their points but they are just so annoying. Thankful that they finally changed and do what's right in the end though. It's just so sad to think Hye Na didn't get to experience the love of a father and the fact that she had to die in the story for others to realize the wrong things they have been doing. It really makes me sad when I think of Hye Na, she's been through a lot. Anyways, the actors and actresses portrayed their characters so well. Job well done everyone! To those who have finished watching this drama and has plans on watching it again, I salute you! Because I, myself, can't even stand the thought of watching it again and it stresses me out.

Piggy Wiggy Oct 26 2019 12:50 am Painfully relatable, impeccable acting, great writing, great cinematography, great directing, great editing.

I like how good characters are not all that good, bad characters are not all that bad, and the happiest family is actually not what it seems like.

I love the families, especially the Hwang family and Cha Family... I like how humble the Hwangs are... And i adore the Cha twins

WanWan Oct 25 2019 12:18 am this drama hit a lot of sore spots some of the scenes was really emotionally draining I almost drop watching but I muster the courage finishing it. To who ever said Yeom Jungah-nim looked a bit like Philippine actress Vilma Santos I totally agree with you. I hope that this would be a wake up call to all the Parents who are putting to much pressure on their children's with it comes to academics. Also for the Teenagers don't copy or make the mistake as Seri did, making her Parents believe she' studying in Harvard. Ye Seo high pitched voice was really annoying but when she started opening up I really feel Sorry for her I just wished that the Writer could have done a different with her relationship with Hyena. I was also dumbfounded that this drama was categorize as Comedy there are moments & also thankful for Min Hyuk, Yang Woo & Jin Hee for breaking the tension in this drama yes there are some funny parts but still most of the drama was really heavy. As for the twins Joe Byeong Gyu when he grows up he will look like Yoon Gyun Sang while Kim Dong Hee will look like Jung Il Woo. If someone will make Sky Castle Adult version I sincerely hope both of this Actors will play the twins.

m0chii Oct 09 2019 12:46 am Im crying too much for this drama ㅠㅠ i love the storyline ❤️

mayumi Oct 01 2019 10:33 pm After watching at least around 8 to 9 episodes, I realized that Yeom Jungah-nim looked a bit like Philippine actress Vilma Santos.

This drama is intense. I never knew the influence coaches like Coach Kim have on the families who hire them to get the rich kids to excellent universities. It's like, for rich people, SKY are the only universities or you're out. I've watched other K-drama which are high-school themed, like "Jungle Fish 2" and "Master of Study." When I watched "Master of Study," I didn't understand why the students have to stay after class to study. And in "Jungle Fish 2," I saw how intense student life in South Korea is to the point that some students, especially the rich, will do anything to maintain that status. Also, that VVIP bidding was the first time I had encountered about it. So, those social gatherings we always see on TV are not just what we think they are. The rich are there not to enjoy, but to plan how to boost careers or the kids' resumes. It was like that in "Class of Lies" where the piano recital is where parents would agree upon who will get which award even if there is really no announced competition in it in school.

Yeseo was extremely irritating at first. Her high-pitched voice was very annoying. It was only after Hyena's death where I finally see that she can, at least, have some bit of conscience. A great tragedy really can change a person's outlook in life. In the last few episodes, I had lots of tears. My favorite kids are Yebin and Hyena. Yebin is street-smart and people smart, unlike Yeseo who is mainly bookish. Actually, kudos to the actress portraying Yebin. Whenever she cries, I cry too. Her cry sounds so heartbreaking. And Hyena is not the usually good girl who is poor and who studies a lot. She can be very manipulative to get what she wants from the rich. She's actually very scheming, and it's refreshing to see a poor K-drama character who is highly intelligent.

Coach Kim is a psychopath and very manipulative, where she throws the blame back to the parents. When you can see her backstory, you can see why she tended to make the rich family dysfunctional. It's like, my life is miserable, so I'm gonna bring you down with me. But still, it does not mean that what she did was right. Teacher Jo, at first, seems like an insignificant character. But I realized in later episodes that Teacher Jo's devotion to Coach Kim was like Kazuma's devotion to Bishamonten/Veena in the anime "Noragami," or Katherine/Zandra's loyalty to Prince Zardoz in "Voltes V." Antagonists who have good-looking sidekicks usually make me smile. (Sorry, but I think Coach Kim and Teacher Jo looked a bit cute together, ahahahaha). That part in Ep19 when Coach Kim, after telling Teacher Jo to send the severance pay to other teachers, told him to leave, he held her wrist and announced his loyalty and token of gratitude, and she called him by his first name Jaejun for the first time. I think it was a bittersweet and sad moment. Another was in the police bus in Ep20 when Teacher Jo smiled sadly at her before sitting a few seats in front of her. Coach Kim's sad look for Teacher Jo and her flashback was also a very sad scene. Another scene that made me cry was when Coach Kim struggled with her daughter not to eat the curry rice.

Jinjin's hug scene with her son was very cute, especially when she always say how cute her son is and she pats his butt. That's why, that scene in the drama that made me cry buckets was when Soohan ran away after Jinjin cared more for her decorative dishes than for her son. That chase scene until that scene where Jinjin hugged her son to sleep was very touching.

As to the actor portraying Professor Cha, whenever he was at the verge of shouting and holding in his anger, with tight lips, I thought he was going to have hypertension on the set.

This drama is worth the watch. I think I should watch this again. It's a very interesting take on the secrets of the rich in South Korea with regards to education, and why there are a lot of students purposefully killing themselves.

Heba Sep 02 2019 8:38 pm I’m currently at ep 16 and I have to say I’m writing this feeling too suffocated of how greedy and selfish those people are, I am so sick of how realistic this drama, I can’t believe these high class people have children who treat elders like garbage it’s like they’re extremely ill in their mind, I can’t even watch 3 episodes in one day I truly get stressed because of such JOKERS

Rich people literally aren’t even close from class, they act like gangsters especially Yue suh I truly am speechless of herself. especially when she knew about her mother’s truth, her greedy selfish stubborn attitude..I don’t know if it’s the right time to judge her but she really doesn’t learn from her own mistakes and never listen to anyone as if she never had a family before.. she actually played it so well that everytime she shows up I almost throw my phone for real

Reinjun Aug 25 2019 9:20 am Honestly even though i cheated on this drama (by skipping to the ending when i was in 11th episode) due to my school's upcoming, i can still say with conviction that this drama is fantastic because it is realistic! I love how it put emphasis on how education system actually eats up student's lives. Because even though we're breathing, we feel like we're already dead being suffocated with studies. Especially when you have parent's with titles, it is such a pressure that is so hard to comprehend. With such status, people that surrounds you expects you to always be on top, and it is very exhausting. To the poiny you want to end it all . Whether by escaping or by never waking up.

wintertime Aug 22 2019 3:02 am A masterpiece! Definitely one of the best Kdrama that ever made!

Cheryl Aug 10 2019 6:41 am Outstanding drama! The acting is superb, the writing is brilliant, the direction is flawless and even the music is so haunting. I would highly recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys a finely tuned, flawless drama. I will never, ever forget this drama.

AyamGeprek Jul 07 2019 8:31 am Im not a kdrama follower and i didnt regret a single second watching this drama. Every character(parents & children) is different, the story doesnt dictate only a single parenting style is right. It sort of makes us the viewers to reflect on ourselves.

Every family have it own story yet it is seamlessly blend together. Because every cast is having a very strong character and able to show it really well, we the viewers can predict the character choices. Its predictable in a good way, because the characters is so well depicted. They didnt make the story look weird or off for the sake of making a plot twist. So the whole story and plot make sense.

Pretty Toeti Jun 18 2019 5:40 am It's a very good drama. Strong characters, nice plot etc. All the parents or parents to be need to watch this. Reevaluate our life values if needed is not a shame thing to do. Live life to the fullest.. :D

KL May 30 2019 8:24 am This is a drama that you need to give it a go! Even though it predictable after you reach the middle part, it's still the drama you need to watching it until the end.. The acting of the cast, camera angle, and editing is top notch. Mr. Kim byung chul really deserve to be best supporting actor . Ji Jin hee family is my pick XD omama...

Anne Hussin May 24 2019 5:44 am Interesting 1-2nd episodes but as it stretched, each episode become boring and predictable. But u still glued to the tv n just wanting to watch till the end. Ok to watch if u have much time not doing anything at home.

Lyana May 15 2019 11:40 am I watched this after reading many good reviews about the drama. Overall, great casting and storyline. The acting is top-notch. There were many best scenes. No wonder the ratings are very high.

You should give this a watch if you're tired of the rom-coms. Best drama I've watched.

naeul May 14 2019 6:16 am If you thinking to watch or not,

My Answer is Yesssss! I watched this drama finished it in a day and half! The director really did amazing job. Theres humour even in a tense scene and you will never forget about it. Teach people about living in reality and parenting.

Many loves for this drama! You never regret watching this drama:)

Mercy May 13 2019 5:34 pm Woah! First Time Submitted a comment and making a review on any Kdrama series I have seen. This series is beyond Perfect. I’m awe, Well-done to all Sky Castle Team ?

happ May 11 2019 8:05 am Reached 16th ep today. I know I'm late. I stopped watching at ep3 then come back few days after I get my mind clear from ep1-3. This drama is really different than other drama..very raw, realistic and Im really impressed at the actors who brought the scenes really well. I love how they portrayed Hye Na. Eventhough most ppl would hate her but I think she did what she needed to do, shes a very strong character who did well in her studies despite her personal problems. I dont know how serious and important background and status for Korean ppl but this drama shows that it has to stopped. I understand that it happens everywhere. Hope that this can become lesson to everyone who watched. What important is Family. Other than that...comes second. And communication and honesty are important. It's not okay to lie, cheat and harm anyone. Please don't be selfish and greedy. Everyone has our own ego but if you do realised you have one. Please learn to crush your ego..nothing good comes from it. This drama is what every country needed. Hopefully it ends well..thanks for no spoiler here

atamaiihito May 04 2019 8:43 am Wasted episodes, 12 episode would be enough

Gelsemium Sempervirens Apr 28 2019 9:56 pm Loved this drama so much! Great casting and thrilling storyline. It is one of a kind, indeed. This is a must-watch for students and parents (especially). Will definitely recommend this to everyone!

JusticeHero Apr 25 2019 11:42 am Acting 8/10, StoryLine 8/10. But beware that level of the boring & predictable storyline is follow the rating. It keep increasing. 2 first episode is top notch.

Marga Apr 25 2019 12:15 am ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kang joon sang Apr 24 2019 1:50 pm Best Kdrama ever!!! Remind me of school dramas alike,but this was topnotched drama,i never this excited watching kdrama tho,perfect! Make me want to watch kdrama again(im jdorama lover🤗). Love the plots,casts,and all,cool!! Im in love with this drama btw~~

Rosalie Apr 20 2019 5:50 am Best drama ever!

Kdrama_fan Apr 17 2019 8:12 am Satire drama? Black comedy drama? Suspense thrilling drama? Kind of. Give it try if you're looking for korean drama with great plot, superb acting, and quality of directing and cinematography. Not typical lovey dovey korean drama. You will love it.

Carla Apr 07 2019 10:53 am Well portrayed! great storyline! Thank you Sky Castle. This is the 1st Kdrama I watched purely because of the story.. not just because I am a fan or have crush on the actors. Learned a lot from each families.. I feel bad for the korean kids if this cut throat education in Korea is happening.. but however I admire them for their perseverance.

sky castle Apr 07 2019 10:33 am one word to describe this drama: legend its so realistic and i hope this would be a wake up calls to all the moms out there in the world that studies and academics are NOT success for your child, but its the happiness that your child has. for the kids out there, be true to yourself, do not rush, and i realize that communication is the key. always be truthful to your parents about what you really want, do not be scared that you'll disappoint your parents, because as long as you're happy, your parents would also be happy. also, i learnt that we should all love ourselves as who we are and also, love and appreciate the people around you (your friends, your family, or maybe even your pet XD)!! fighting to all the students out there in the world!

kuddos to the production team, writer, editing team and all the staff out there for producing such an amazing, beautiful and legendary drama. love all the angles of filming, the flow of the story, the background music and including memorable quotes to take away!! thanks for making this drama alive! :D 100000/10 recommend!!

juhyun Mar 26 2019 8:16 am Ugh this drama is so realistic i love it so much. Thumbs up to this director huhu all i can really say is it's such an amazing drama

Hanahanahealing Mar 26 2019 7:11 am This drama keeps me interested and coming back for more ! It’s also very timely , with all the fixed college admissions scandal in USA! The characters are so well portrayed! I find replicas of many mothers that I know , the American version ! I am very curious to see how this all ends !!!

N Mar 25 2019 4:11 pm This is one of the best kdramas ever, if not the best! I rate it 100/10 i’m not exaggerating!!! i cant even watch any other drama because they cant top this! I really hope there’ll be a sequel for it.

Ferdous Mar 11 2019 1:08 pm In 18 episodes now, cannot bear more of yeh suh's mom's evil doings. She is such a disgusting mom. She accompliced that evil coach & made everyone's life hell. Btw thumbs up to the director & all the actors actresses. They all potrayed their characters perfectly.

Kate Mar 11 2019 12:08 pm One of the best, well-paced dramas I've seen in a long time. The twists and turns kept me so interested all the way through. Longest ending episode I've ever seen, showing endings for every single character! Kim Byung-Chul...the king of facial expressions...went from pathetic to hysterical...loved him. So completely disagree with Diane's comments below, from her first sentence to the last. Nothing wrong with kids "finding themselves", especially after what the character had been through. He'll learn a lot more about life on the road than sitting behind a desk. Plot done many times??? Hmmm...not this way, not by this awesome director. It's rare I don't fast-forward a lot in dramas. Barely did in this one...didn't have to.

Diane Mar 10 2019 10:59 pm I wish drama writers would stop telling kids to travel to Europe or America to "find themselves." This is a bad idea. Overall, this was an involving drama, and I'm sure it struck a deeper cord in S. Korea. As far as chaebol moms and their kids... the plot has been done many times, but as far as I'm concerned, nothing, including this one, can top "A Wife's Credentials" from 2012.

Jinny Mar 08 2019 1:48 am I beg JTBC, please have a sequel?? it's been 1 month since Sky Castle ended and i miss it so much, showing different family problems with the same characters is fun, and congrats to We All Lie i saw it also topped in Music Bank for OSTs. I'm grateful for myself for watching this drama, i learned a lot

dawnsky Mar 02 2019 5:54 am Brilliant. I have nothing else to add. It is perhaps no coincidence that the script, director and actors' acting blend so well to portray a bleeding social wound and the fact it has become the most watched drama in cable television history in Korea. Hope this is a sign of social change!

elle Feb 22 2019 6:07 am been watching kdrama more than 15 years and this is one of the best.i cried my heart out watching the last episode ?

Fantasy Feb 21 2019 1:05 pm Woo-Joo (chani) congrads for the new song It is really amazing?? 'Enough' by sf9

skyresident Feb 17 2019 8:37 am Kim Joo-Young style somehow reminded me of Maya Akutsu sensei from Queen of the Classroom which makes me wanna watch Jyoou no Kyoushitsu again..

Myung Feb 16 2019 6:42 am Basically everyone in South Korea watched this drama. I just finished it today. It is so good. Anyone who's reading this comment and hasn't watch it, should give a try. You'll get hooked from the first episode.

Blacklabels Feb 15 2019 3:53 am This drama reminds me Avengers Social Club, just a little bit with the same situation that the main story is about parenting and school life, Just imo. But overall this drama was really gooodddd.

Arisya Feb 14 2019 2:42 am Im here after knowing brother..actually,this drama has always been in my watch list..But I had to catch up last year drama?? because of my super big and important exam..but then I heard this drama is about education and family,so I give it to go two days ago..and here I am,finished this drama yesterday??while giving up my sleep..this drama is so precious..I like hwang family and seunghye’s family(but not her husband),and coach kim,I just want to smash my handphone..I cried really hard on episode 19,world is full on unfairness..Did I’m the only one like yeh suh then hyena..yeah,yeh suh is brat..but hye na,she is too harsh on people who love her too..Glad that kang’a family repent...the storyline is too good.now I know why they deserve the highest rating drama for now..Full of lesson,show the reality..❤️❤️I wouldn’t mind if there are season 2,although there are different cast and story..although this drama already perfect..and

???I can relate the scene of the high school student..Education is important but there are the limit..I studied really hard last year,gave up watching kdrama,kpop,variety show..but as I watch how korean student study,I think I’m far behind them.but I didn’t regret at all..i think i had done what I can do,I trird to study while enjoying my last year at school..Im serious when Studying but playing around when time to rest..I like that korean student are hardworking and shockwd that they study up till midnight,they deserve applause..Their school have good library and study room,which can let them to focus more on lesson..But I will choose my own school if I have to choose..their schedule is too packed,and didn’t give me a chance to breath..many of my friends are a good student,but their schedule are not too packed..just good enough to do anything..U can achieve something if ur way is right without straining urself..I hope One day,we will not worry too much aboutour grade and result??although I know,the world is becoming too busy...

Sunday Feb 13 2019 12:12 pm After hearing all the hype about this drama, I decided to give it a go without any expectations and damn, I was blown away! I was immediately hooked after episode 1. The plot was interesting and every episode left me looking forward to more. I absolutely love the fact this drama addresses the issue with parents pressuring their children to be the very best in school instead of nurturing their children to be the best version of themselves by supporting their dreams. I believe it's extremely competitive in S.Korea, but I think it's also a problem in many Asian families so this drama can possibly be a bit of an eye-opener for many families. Anyway, the acting was exceptional. Everyone in this drama did an amazing job at portraying their character. I found myself hating and loving some of these characters because they felt real. No one is perfect and you live & learn.

Cutie Feb 12 2019 9:05 pm This drama is definitely one of the best dramas Ive watched. The plot is great and the directing is amazing. The suspense moments are enough to make u get interested but it's also not too fast. The only hole I found is at the near end but I guess it's negligible. I love the message of this drama the most, its a very important message for the parents. 10/10 for me

M Feb 11 2019 8:32 am This drama is exactly why I don't want my children to go to school in Korea. Im married to a korean, and live in korea. Even he agrees with me to not put our children in school in Korea. He went to one of the most prestigious universities,only because his parents wanted it. He had already found his passion, web design, photography (which he is now one of the most sought after in korea) But he studied bio technology because of his parents. And that's the problem with korea, just as long as you have a university degree, you get in. Like my husband his skill was web design and photography, he studied bio technology... doesnt matter if he had experience before and was so good, no university bye bye. But now with experience since almost 10 years after university, he can change company all he wants and decide his salary, even european companies have contacted him.

He told me even his mom hit him. And i was shocked. My mother on law did that? Shes an angel! That just shows how extreme the korean culture and mindset is. Even the most loving mother could do it. But he told me, she always cried. But she didnt know better cause that's what they were taught to do. My mother in law is the most loving and considerate person, and to think that she could hit her child,  it really gives perspective on how extremely f-ed up it is

Momo Feb 11 2019 2:51 am I'm here because jisoo and jennie watch this drama so yeahh ?

cyiie Feb 10 2019 7:15 am I stopped watching Kdramas for more than a year now. I tried watching some though but I could not bring myself to finish it. Even those dramas that my fave actors starred in.

Until I came across this drama through the variety shows that I was watching. At first, I was just curious why it got so much attention and high ratings so I decided to watch the first episode only but guess what, I got more depressed. Haha. But the story is so interesting and the actors are very promising that I kept on watching it. The plot twistssss are so crazy. The OSTs are beautiful. I love the fact that the actors/actresses that took the roles were not mainstream but still hit it big. The characters were insane (except Hwang family and Seunghye and her twins lmao).

Kang Family is a mess. Woo Family is sometimes annoying but hilarious. Cha Family is my favorite esp Kijoon. Well, not the dad. Hwang Family is too perfect. I'm torn between wanting Soolim as my mom or Dr. Hwang as my husband. And Woojoo, gosh I cried every time I see him in the later episodes.

I love each one of them even sometimes I want to jump into the screen and slap Coach Kim and Seojin's face. Well, proof that they are good actress.

Overall, I give this drama a 10/10. It immediately became one my fave and best drama for me along with Scarlet Heart and DOTS.

Cosmic Boy Feb 10 2019 12:28 am I cried watching Yoon SeA's acting. Absolutely the best.

ray Feb 09 2019 7:55 pm This drama is good but it somewhat makes you sad, that no matter what happen, most of the times, bad reigns..

Mays Feb 09 2019 6:35 am Amazimg drama ? deserves all the hype ??

Casual Feb 08 2019 12:11 am To Gray. There's a little bit of funny moments in this drama, even though it is not the main part of it.

glos Feb 07 2019 5:16 pm I love how the story come up with beautiful plots and all the twists. How they put bunch of comedy scene, how the characters developing It just so great. Honestly I can tell this drama is worth the hype and worth the rating. I'm just done watching and still get hangover to thisss ughh.

10/10

Mina Feb 06 2019 12:56 am Woaaahhhh this drama daebaakk I love so much ??

ellie Feb 05 2019 7:54 am I cried watching episode 19. Great!

Gray Feb 05 2019 12:12 am is there a comedy in this drama?

lvrfn Feb 04 2019 6:46 am ok i guess those who say the end of this drama is bad actually they don't understand this drama. for me, I'm very satisfied with this drama. from the beginning to the end. one of the best, like signal.

kdramafighter Feb 04 2019 2:43 am overall drama is good...so interesting.. but the ending is suck..

godwinben0@gmail.com Feb 03 2019 12:25 pm MY REVIEW : SKY Castle

10/10

Best Drama Of All Time. Sadness, Pain, Anger, Happiness... All the dammn feels.

JTBC slay-ed one more time with a daebak drama. SKY Castle beats all time tv ratings in the Korean television series.

The acting was so perfect. The music beyond anything and everything. Every single episode ends with "We all Lie" (can't get that song off my head). Man, the music is just so perfect. Now coming to the main part - Acting. Every single one played their role so perfect. The depth in the acting. I really wish I could mention everyone here but... Hmmm. Every single scene and acting is spot on. Kim Joo-Young, the woman who played the coach was... No words. So real.

Everything was so spot on. Don't you ever ask if you have to watch it! Go Watch!

ClamChowder Feb 03 2019 3:19 am Just realized the meaning of SKY at the final episode hahaha. A rly top-notch drama!!

AL Feb 02 2019 11:14 am I'm here bcs of BTS RM.. It's an awesome drama!! like a roller coaster. I felt everything. Sadness, anger, happiness, glad, depressed.. and the after-credit scene is make me curious, I'm waiting for the season 2.. SKY castle, jjang!!

Mely Feb 02 2019 7:47 am Wow Good Job SKY Castle..You make me like rollercoaster in the beginning until middle episodes but you make me cry like a baby in 2 last episodes. This is Really Good Drama, I mean I never found drama with story and plot like this.. Thank you for everything in this drama, like how good the writer-nim written this story, directors and staff who did good for made this drama and also all cast for their perfect acts.. I got so many things to learn from this drama, for how to be good parents (soon if I married and have children) and how to be human. I will wait another drama like this..Everyone Fighting on your own, I believe Everyone doing the best for their life :)

Aurelia Feb 02 2019 12:07 am Wow! Finally finished this drama after 20 episodes and i must say that to anyone wondering whether this drama is worth watching, do yourself a favour and just watch it. A lot of dramas i watch, i tend to drop it when it is close to finishing because it doesn't keep me on the edge of the seat to keep wanting to watch it. However, this drama has so much suspense but at the same time is balanced with the humour added in the drama, making the drama seem quite realistic, relatable and not tooo dramatic. I must congratulate the producer, director, writer, costumers, and everyone who participated in this drama because the filming, cuts etc. were truly well done and not a scene was boring. I loved how they played the music at exactly the right moment, it definitely played with my emotions :D This drama had me on an emotional high HAHAHA crying one moment, laughing the other and feeling anxious for the kids because it was so relatable. Throughout the drama i was left shocked at the surprising scenes as well! Also, the introduction of new characters throughout the first half of the drama was very well planned! I was so amazed by what a huge roll Hye Na ended up playing in the drama. The ending of the drama didn't leave any gaps unfilled and covered every single characters' ending in a very unique way. I love how they especially ended Hye Na's character, Yeh Suh's and Kim Yoo Jung's. Also, how they introduced the new family at the end was very unforseen but made the ending more symbolic, meaningful, and rids of any feelings of cheesiness because you can see that their showing that it isn't the end but a continuous cycle. I congratulate the whole crew and cast!! The acting was absolutely spot on!!! This is a drama i will definitely rewatch now, and in the future :) It is on the top of my list of dramas and definitely deserved the top ratings!!!

Sefryena Feb 01 2019 11:22 pm This is one of my top 2 dramas for 2018❣Awesome script, awesome cast❣❣Jjang, jjang, jjang! So much to learn from it, especially the last few eps. Indeed, most people learn from extreme pain in order to change for the better, to grow. Highly recommended!!

Chewie Feb 01 2019 10:34 pm There's an after-credit scene in the final episode. :)

Mayo Feb 01 2019 8:48 pm DAEBAK!!!

Rosette93 Feb 01 2019 4:37 pm god I loved this drama from the first episode!!! good job Yoo Hunmi for writting a really good plot for it. I watched it first for Chani and Choi Wonyoung but fastly Seunghye and Cha family won my heart?

Nananacchan Feb 01 2019 10:04 am the difference is that ma yeo jin/akutsu maya were actually very kind, while coach kim is really evil. omgg i really love this dramaa!!!!

windymae Jan 31 2019 11:36 am @Chibimaruko same! when I first see Coach Kim its reminds me of Akutsu Maya and Ma Yeo-Jin from Queens classroom.. (Japanese&Korean vers)

CHODING Jan 31 2019 10:31 am This drama is very unpredictable like other typical korean drama. cuz it told more about family matters rather than love line. i luv itt.

btw the poster looks like magazine cover lol very nice design. somehow it reminds me of SK II cosmetic product advertised on tv luls

ouh and Jung Joon Ho here looks verrrryy handsome im astounded lol but he's a year older than my mom what am i thinking xDDD. I can tell that every man can be this handsome just because of the hairstyle (hair-up, forehead exposed), expensive-looking glasses, moustache+beard. JJH is the example. hahah if you're a man you should try to dress yourself like that. im sure yall gonna be succeeded to attract women lol

Elle Jan 31 2019 4:04 am this drama was absolutely one of the best. I honestly get goosebumps every episode because It Was That Good!! I recommend this drama, I realized a lot of things so I really don't know why people are getting bored lol Watch It, It Was More Than Worth It!!

Chibimaruko Jan 30 2019 6:31 pm Coach Kim reminds me a lot to Akutsu Maya in Queens classroom..

Chittaranjan Jan 29 2019 7:30 pm @kuwakuwi what is makjang drama ? Anyway I am addicted to this drama . Every episode make me wanting to see new one . Thumbs up to the cast . Lov from Manipur , India .

Flower power Jan 29 2019 7:01 pm I really like this drama. I'm a k-drama hard fans who has watch over 100 drama with different genre. Sky castle has taught us a lot of things especially to be a good parents. Loves this drama can't wait for the finale

luna Jan 29 2019 3:32 am here am i watching this thanks to hwang hyunjin

kuwakuwi Jan 28 2019 7:00 pm is this not a makjang drama?

Yong Jan 27 2019 11:49 am Cant belive that sky castle beats my fave all time drama reply 1988.. but, when i watched this drama "okay u deserve it"

reply 1988 still no one in my heart hahahahahaaa.....

Andz Jan 27 2019 9:05 am @carlete here It can be quite boring for some, most especially to foreigners who do not really understand the education system and high society issues in Korea. Simply because it does not apply to them. But as for Koreans, they know the struggle of going through extreme lengths just to prep for the college exams. The competitive nature of the story surrounding the families is very real especially for Koreans. This kind of mindset and system is a continuous battle for them and that's why Sky Castle lives up to their realities. Well of course, the plot is overly exaggerated for entertainment purposes.

tarotaro Jan 27 2019 8:36 am THUMBS UP!!!!! ??? Nothing compares to this drama. I love it

Judith Jan 27 2019 6:22 am I just can't wait for the finale .it's too much.. Woke up ..no update abt ep19

carlete here Jan 27 2019 5:20 am I’ve been watching this drama, and now on episode 12. but honestly i don’t get the hype. Everyone saying this drama is a mega hit but, as long as i watch this i don’t really agree. I thought this drama has super genre like reply 1988. Can someone give me an answer why is this drama so high rated. Because i found it a little boring and kinda want to stop. I waited for 12 ep but nothing really exciting happen. But i like the cast especially hayoon in A-teen

byeol Jan 26 2019 4:25 pm i just started watching this 2 days ago and I'm currently at episode 13. i just wanna say that Seojoon Gijoon's mom >>>>>>> every mom in sky castle.

BCL Jan 25 2019 5:27 pm I've waited for one week to watch episode 19 but??? That soccer match emm Need to wait for the next day and next week. I'm getting impatient huhuhu

favour Jan 25 2019 5:09 pm I have watched more than 50 Korean series but it's drama it's nothing compared to this.....I used to love romantic Korean series but I just fell in love with this....the actors are superb every single one of them contributed to the amaziness of this drama even miss Kim joo young no matter how much I hate her she acted her part so well....thumbs up to the writer directors and producers u guys did a great job...this drama deserves an award

Radha Jan 25 2019 8:20 am Oh god please give me some energy to wait for this drama

Rima Jan 24 2019 10:19 pm I am stalking everywhere for sky castle . From outside Korea , India??

Kady Jan 24 2019 5:54 pm a piece of art!!! it's been years that i wasn't this impressed with a drama the writer is truly gifted, a genius!

Cici Jan 23 2019 2:32 am I really hateee kang familys ugghhh

kermoet Jan 21 2019 5:53 pm really highly recommended kdrama for those who like or try to watch kdrama for d 1st time. for getting more than 20% of rating, it was so hard for a kdrama. never been curious n kinda impatient for waiting for next episode of any kdrama before EXCEPT THIS ONE eventhough they gave us slight review for next ep but daaamn that was made me even really hope for next episode

Lalalove Jan 21 2019 5:09 am I hate most of the character but can't stop watching! Deym!

SCR Jan 20 2019 5:28 pm I really like this drama bcs of the plot and the acting of cast itself. But srsly i still waiting for this moment, for someone kill that crazy psychopath witch Kim Joo Young or at least put her in jail

Laishram Kishan Meitei Jan 20 2019 1:47 pm Best kdrama so far..... amazing actors ??????

Cha Jan 20 2019 7:30 am I think all of us who watching this drama are so proud because we're watching it while this drama is still airing lol. This drama seriously the best

GZB Jan 19 2019 11:08 pm I'm super proud of myself!! I was comment number one in this page. I knew this drama would be a hit the day I read the synopsis! At the very least, I knew I would love it even if others didn't. It's gonna hit 25% in the finale y'all!! Amazing story, amazing cast, the director saw how amazing it would be when he told the writer to extend the script to 20 eps even before they started shooting!!

HEY Jan 19 2019 11:34 am DAEBAK This is high rating drama. its the same with Goblin

ukulla Jan 19 2019 10:49 am NO SPOILERS! Wow, what an amazing and unpredictable plot. I've seen many many dramas, but this one have a special place in my heart! Not only is it a realistic and a life-learning drama, but the plot also makes me crave more and more of this show. Furthermore, the actors and actresses are absolutely incredible. They make me cry, laugh and most of all speechless! NOTE: If you're reading this and wondering whether u such watch this drama, I'll in advance warn u - Don't watch this drama if u've exams, because I'll assure u, that u'll binge watch this show!

Seses. Jan 18 2019 9:51 am I like how the story change to the mystery genre. I think there's something about Teacher Jo. He seems does not like Kim Joo Young too much. Maybe he will be the key answer for Woo Joo's family. Btw, I'm impressed by the development of the plot. It is so unpredictable. Jtbc and Ocn dramas far is great than sbs,kbs or mbc dramas. Keep it up! For me, acting 10/10 and storyline 9/10.

Vanya Jan 18 2019 8:54 am Pretty sure I've hated almost every character at certain point in this drama

Sana Jan 18 2019 7:53 am This drama realalllyy awesoomeee Waahh Kim joo young, i hate u so muccchhhhh ??

Lalalove Jan 18 2019 7:44 am Daebak! ??

Sky castle lover Jan 18 2019 3:37 am This drama is too good to be true DAEBAK

Soo Jan 18 2019 12:36 am This drama is so good and addictive, I started watching it two days ago and I'm already in the 16th episode. WOW..... The plot, the casts, their acting 10/10 I like the fact that this drama doesn't revolve around one or two persons, it's about lots of people and lots of stuffs which makes it very alluring. This drama is just awesome I couldn't have asked for better.

qinqin Jan 17 2019 11:05 pm It's been such a long time since I last watched a drama, let alone a K-drama. But wow, this is such amazing series in all aspects: acting, writing, direction and cinematography. Good job, JBTC !

zia githa infahni Jan 16 2019 11:07 am i really like this drama, because of the story is very very insteresting and we can learn many thing from this drama

Tomtom Jan 16 2019 9:54 am SPOILER, SPOILER..

Kim Hyena got the spotlight here for the plot and got killed. I really want to see how his father reaction but get push to ep.17. Not your typical korean drama, writer not going to road to happiness after killing Hyena. Kim Bo Ra deserves to be on the Main.

Sky castle nos 1 is no joke and what you learnt after watching the drama. Jeffrey chua Jan 14 2019 3:23 pm Two mistakes of now modern parents learnt from sky castle drama. First, nowadays parents raised their kids just to boast to friends n others. Secondly nowadays parent always said whatever we do are for the goods of their children and eventually they will understand. One lesson of life to learn from sky castle drama is not to lie cos one lie lead to another lie plus not to do bad things as one bad thing you do will lead to more in future to cover up the bad things you did at first.

maria Jan 14 2019 1:16 pm No spoiler [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] PLEASE WATCH THIS DRAMA !!! Ep1-16 (10/10)

At first, I thought this drama was merely a drama related but then the issue that they are trying to disclose is really relatable to any of use living even in different countries. Because you cannot deny wealth and mental health are real and can consume your life.

The storyline of this drama is very unpredictable and scary of how people can be blinded by some words spit through into them. From what've learned from this 16 episodes so far series and 4 more episodes to go. I think that this drama has really told really powerful lessons.

1. Be suspicious of whom you met and want to bring into your family. 2. Tell the truth and be honest even if it hurts it's just a matter of time the truth will come out soon or later. 3. Don't let greed eat you.

After all, this drama deserves daesang!!! Thank you, directors, the casts, the writer and all the crews. This drama is very well made. Can't wait for the last 4 episodes! Let's hope the justice will prevail!

Jjivler2 Jan 14 2019 10:36 am My bad. It was a 20 episode series. I thought it would just end at the 16th episode. I am hooked to this series that's why. More exciting episodes to go. The best drama to be concluded.

Jjivler Jan 14 2019 10:25 am I've just finished the finale episode of this series and I was really disappointed and left hanging. How could you do this to us? Is there a season 2 for this? there's a lot of things to settle to call it's the end? Why? Tell me there is a second season and I won't rate this series as a bluff. What happen to Woo Joo. Whag happen to that evil Kim Yoo Jong. Where is justice? We need more than that!

Sejong Jan 13 2019 6:43 pm Hard to believe hyena aka kim bora is the oldest cast among all the kid in this dram. She even older than Yeri aka park yoona. Wooowww what a baby face she has...!!!!

TaroMilkTea Jan 13 2019 10:53 am As of Episode 16, Sky Castle has officially gained the HIGHEST Rating from any Cable Drama in Korea. Ignore the haters, ignore your doubts, this drama officially beat Goblin and Reply1988 - if that don't convince you, then have fun missing out ~~ That is all.

ClamChowder Jan 13 2019 1:33 am I tried to become impartial while watching several epusodes but I cant help hating Hye Na..sigh, even if I dont particularly like Ye Suh or her mom.

Hana Jan 12 2019 10:27 pm Please get Ms Kim into jail

MikaruAngelo Jan 12 2019 8:13 pm Sky Castle break 'Reply 1988' records highest ever viewer rating in Korean cable television history with 19.243% (AGB Nielsen average rating).

Jullia Jan 12 2019 10:50 am this drama really something. I can't help but every episode always made my jaws drops. all cast did really great job. the story smash me to become a nice parents. my kids is not mine, they have life themself. This drama must get award. You never regret to watch this drama.

Hana Jan 12 2019 7:53 am I love this drama

Abil Jan 11 2019 10:20 pm The more you watch it, the more you frustated

Grassrootcastle Jan 11 2019 4:41 pm Characters development are great. And every actors and actresses really did a good job portraying their characters.

Jieun Jan 11 2019 5:14 am Hope Hyena is alive and this drama is daebak.

Andre Jan 10 2019 1:30 pm why hate Hyena?? Shes born just with her mother, study + part timer for pay hospital and Yee Suh get everything she want and her mother Kwak Mi Hyang also pursued HyeNa from organization, her work. Please see from Hyena's perspective !!

Sejong Jan 10 2019 2:01 am Why everyone hate hyena...!? I dont think she came for the revenge, like another child hyena also hope for her father love. Since her mom died, its normal a kid look for their father whom still alive and wanted to live there.. Everyone is complaining about what hyena dis to yesuh, but is yesuh kind to hyena..??

Say New Year Jan 09 2019 10:09 pm JBTC and tvN drama so good !!!! Yeah ByeBye to KBS , SBS , MBC .

Tibong Jan 08 2019 7:07 pm uhh i really hate Kim Hye-Na

clubbers Jan 07 2019 5:41 am cant wait episode 15. best actor seri appa

oi Jan 06 2019 8:03 am i just watched ep 14 and omg i'm so worried about yesuh and her family. This kim joo young is really crazy, she already got into yesuh mind. and Hyena too, she's getting weird. I feel bad about her but she's so manipulative that it's scarier.

Edna Jan 04 2019 10:29 pm The women & men on this drama are so pretentious, living on their own fantasies! I'd say not in real world!

Maria Jan 02 2019 3:16 am This drama so great even the poster seems like promise it

Forever sky castle Dec 30 2018 8:57 am I have watched till ep12 and waiting for more. I dont hate hyena. And i hate kim joo young who is guiding kang ye seo in wrong way. She is becoming worse and worse and even not respecting her own mother . And her mother is turning blind eye for the cruel things did to prev family done by that kim joo young.

Kimchi Dec 30 2018 5:29 am So cute and heartwarming, the relationship between Soo Han and his mom. The young actors are really killing it in their roles. The drama should win Best Ensemble in K awards shows, if ever there is one.

Susan Dec 30 2018 1:49 am Loving Yoon Se-Ah's portrayal of calm and elegant lady. The lead actresses are all good but she stands out on her interpretation of her character. Among the kids, Kim Bo Ra's eyes speaks volume, just a twitch here and there and you can really relate to what she is feeling, nothing exaggerated.

Honey ko Dec 29 2018 9:58 pm After Mr sunshine, it’s a wonderful drama. Every actors n actresses all play well with their roles. It reflects the society of people who called themselves rich n high education. It also points out the reality of rich people. They are ambitious, greedy about delusional fame. So they force their kids to reach the highest level in education to satisfy their egos n selfishness. Unfortunately, they face the falling down at the bottom. They absolutely fail n regret. They feel ashamed with their consciences. Don’t justify people with their appearance. Their souls n heart are very important. Then to be rich is not happy n famous in this drama maybe in our society. Live your true life is always better!???

Rizuchan Dec 29 2018 7:27 pm 12 episodes in, the only character that I think redeemable is probably Cha Ki-Joon. The rest is just acting out of their personal agenda.

yaya Dec 29 2018 6:11 am Hyena deserved to be happy ... she is very mature for her age. Compare to spoiled Yeh su .. I prefer Hyena. Yeh su mother is terrible

Kimchi Dec 28 2018 11:07 pm Yeh Suh's mom finally discovers that Hye Na is the daughter of her husband. Karma is a b*tch, Kwak Mi Yang.

Tara Dec 28 2018 12:19 pm Why everybody hate hye na? She’s nice and I think she’s potrayed like that bcs she has nobody, and the ultimate enemy of her has everybody. I hate ye suh and her mom, although they are the main character of this drama . Such a jerk family who’s always envious with people who’s better then them.. sly lol

Vamshi Dec 27 2018 9:45 am Sympathy comes from your past experiences, mostly we are the same person with whom we are showing sympathy. I am not from Korea but I feel Korean moms are too much into their children and their personal lives....but surely I can't judge from few dramas, they have shown both parents like woo Joo moms and yeh suh mom's but more dangerous are parents like Cha min hyuk he doesn't know that he is right, ignorant and over confident fools are more dangerous...

Baksoendul Dec 27 2018 2:47 am Hey why everyone hate hyena, what do you expect from a kid who strugle the most? She doesnt have father, her mom died, didnt have money, didnt have mentor. I think she is a good girl who can handle her own life. Im rooting for her because i just want to see her live happy without concern anything and get love from their parents like her friends

Kang Chani's noona Dec 27 2018 1:29 am I'm still at ep 4, why ppl here hating on Hyena? Im gonna watch it and figure it out

Nasii Dec 25 2018 2:05 am Hyena is lowkey manipulative person,and why kim bora seems have pick the same role with this character?

Kimchi Dec 25 2018 2:01 am To Hye Na haters, sorry guys but she's bound to end up with Woo Joo. If you're a guy, do you want to have Yeh Suh as a girlfriend? No way in hell! 3 reasons why. 1) She's a spoiled brat who cannot handle failure and doesn't respect anyone when it doesn't suit her. 2) Her sheltered existence makes her weak-willed who will never survive if the odds are against her. 3) Her mom is a lying, pretentious bitch. Would you want that for a mother-in-law?

SunnyNight Dec 24 2018 10:21 am Dunno why, but for me no one beside Doctor Hwang and Woojoo, Soohan and Yebin, Cha Twins and Seunghye seems favorable. I used to like Lee Sooim at first, but she started to appear meddlesome and annoying at some point.

I've been like "Woojoo, not Hyena please." since Hyena first appeared. However, as the characters introduction in the drama's official website said that they will ended up together, I think I need to brace myself from now on. Prof Cha was so annoying but starting from the 'ramen cold war', he started to seem kinda cute and funny for me. Hahaha. Also, I somehow think that Kim Jooyoung actually planned to ruin her students' family.

nina Dec 24 2018 4:06 am I may be the weirdest but I didn't like hyena from the beginning and same for woojoo's mom.. she didn't mind her business and kept on getting on yesuh's mom's nerves. hyena wants revenge but what for? her dad didn't even knew her existence so do his family, she seems so sly I really can't stand her and the way she uses woojoo to get to yesuh really makes me irritated by her. otherwise I looove the twin's mom and can't wait to see her daughter, I think it will be funny with the father.

YryskanShamshieva Dec 23 2018 9:18 pm I really like Hye Na.They look cute with Woo Joo❤

Jinayaaa Dec 23 2018 12:15 pm I love this drama, but I don't know why I really hate Kim Hye Na. She's so annoying. I think she is gonna be hurting Ye Seo's family. And she looks like have a plan to do a revenge to Ye Seo's family. Oh God, I really really hate her.

greenygrass Dec 23 2018 11:15 am Very well-made drama I must say, actors may not be A-list but the acting is really realistic, the plot is so interesting and the end of every episodes always make us keep looking forward next week! Gosh this drama is very likely win big in next year awards, mark my word.

Mei Dec 21 2018 11:45 pm I got hooked after the first episode however i hated hyena from the start and now I strongly hate her, she’s so annoying she just wants to take revenge and hurt yehsuh and yebin’s family. Like gurl, im getting irritated by her and honestly I hope she doesn’t end up with woojoo. I hope he realizes that she’s not that good of a person and either ends up with no one or yehsuh. If he ends up alone I want yehsuh to end up with one of the twins

Yep Dec 21 2018 9:51 pm I hate Yeh Suh's mom, I'm grateful because my mom doesn't like her. Success isn't about you passed the best university, but how you can control ur greediness. And don't just look at the result, the process is more important. That's important thing so you can face the reality in life. I like how Woo Joo's mom solve the problem, like first you should be patient and let just the wind blows then if they still stubborn af you should kick them lol. And for Kim teacher, *insert the best insult words*. One of high quality kdrama after Mr. Sunshine. I LOVE IT.

Styles Dec 21 2018 4:06 am I really love this drama. I remember when I was teen. I got scolded very much even my grade is good. I can't play with my friends. All I did is study. I ever took pills (brain nutrition) for final exam. I tried to kill my self because mom treated me like I never did good in anything. Good thing, she changed now. I will recommend this kdrama to her ?

jingga Dec 19 2018 8:45 am I really like kim hye na, i hope she will have a happy ending with woo joo

Mong Dec 17 2018 3:29 pm This drama is really good!! I really got speechless with the parents in this story (except hwang family and the twin's mother). They treat their children poorly. And after watch ep 8, i keep wondering how will be Kang's family will be turned out? But one thing, i really hope kang ye suh and han suh jin (ye suh's mother) will got slapped,lol.

Btw, kudos to all actors and actresses. They potrayed the characters very well and make me annoyed with their character here hahah.

ish Dec 16 2018 11:24 pm i dont know why but there are times that i feel annoying with sue lim. but this drama is really good. :)

Anne Dec 09 2018 2:22 am Actually, the drama makes me curious about how parents in Korean educate and treat their children.

Tibong Dec 07 2018 12:22 am uhh it so sad look the kids live like that T.T The good parents for me just WOO JOO Parents and twins Mother. Other of them is crazy

maya Dec 06 2018 9:48 am such a great drama!! iam rooting for all of them actually, cant wait for another episode. hwang family is so cool, the moms aren't bad people, even tho they a lil bit evil, but twins mom love her sons, suh jin loves yeh suh and that younger mom is comical ><

and iam curious about their daughter and sons love story, lol, i think yeh suh will fall for woo joo, and the ki joon fall for yeh suh its just so cute, lol.

Nanana Dec 02 2018 8:43 pm Awesome drama with great casts and storyline. Hidden mistery, secret and lies, ambition, prestige, wuahh.. those elite and vvip life. I think it gave me some Big Little Lies vibes. Everyone please notice this great drama and give it a try!! the ratings keep rising eventhough it head to head with some blockbuster drama. It gives me feels, so much feels, and chills.. only eps 4 and you will curious what will happen next. Jjangg... SKY Castle fighting!!!

Hre Dec 02 2018 8:13 am As expected, the show is litttt!! So much happening, never a dull moment! Everyone is slaying their roles!

Upi Hwang Dec 02 2018 7:18 am I really like Hwang's family.. and i like Kang Ye-Bin and Cha Ki-Joon, i like their character.. Kang Chan-Hee i'm here because of you??

dia Dec 02 2018 6:25 am oh my gosh. the best ongoing drama. never really seen anything like this one before, so kudos to the writer and might I say the ensemble is brilliant. sky castle fighting!!!

Jamjam Dec 02 2018 1:33 am 4 episodes and there's not much screen time for the kids except Ye-Seo. I mean I know the main focus is the parents and the main family is Ye Seo's family but I hope to see more of the other kids especially the twins.

MikaruMikaru Dec 01 2018 6:12 pm Daebak episode 4 rating is 7.496%.. i remember episode 1 rating is 1.727%.. increase so much just in 4 episode.. and the screenwriter is Bridal Mask screenwriter.. Can't wait for next week..

Sky castle Dec 01 2018 5:05 am Daebak

northerngirl Nov 25 2018 3:44 pm Satirical look at upper middle class seoul society. hahaha....so full of themselves . well executed though,.

MixMi Nov 25 2018 1:02 pm Like it so far. The adult cast is interesting. Then there is Kang Chang-Hee which makes this even better.

prisca Nov 24 2018 9:14 am I'm interested in the high school daughter & sons story hahaha... that smart but bratty girl with the twin boys & newcomer rival boy.

Karis Nov 24 2018 2:52 am Loved episode One. This one I must watch to the end!

Zoka Nov 04 2018 7:21 pm This kinda reminds me of Queen Of Housewives, which, it was amazing!!!! Hope this too!!!

Erkhe Nov 03 2018 8:30 am It looks interesting
