Ok before we start, I need to tell you how much I really loved this. I watched Hotel Del Luna prior to this and thought that no other drama could top it because of the amazing visual effects, storyline, cast and OST but oh my I was proven wrong. Sky Castle is that one drama you should watch especially if you are Asian because it debunks sooo many misconceptions and myths held within the Asian society and I could highly relate.

Sky Castle was such a thrilling ride throughout the 20 episodes. Maybe the 20th episode got a little boring because it was wrapping up all the drama that had happened in the past 19 episodes but it was tolerable and understandable. I personally thought the ending could have been slightly better as Woo Joo completely dropping out of high school was a bit extreme to me. I thought it would have been better if he took a gap year instead because he is a talented and smart kid who is capable of doing so much and not having his high school diploma is a bit of undervaluing himself? Because let's all face it, we need at least a high school diploma to do something in life afterward. So I thought that decision of his was a little extreme and misguiding. I mean totally go explore yourself / backpacking around Europe but maybe do it after graduating from high school and taking a gap year? I think that's really the best time for any individual to take a break and think about what he wants to do in the next phase of life with college and work. Besides Woo Joo's a little extreme decision, I thought that the ending neatly tied up everything. So my rating remains a 10.

I especially loved how Yeh Suh's family changed towards the end and finally realized that grades really don't matter as much as the Asian society makes it to be. Doing your best and being happy is way more important in life because we all live once so we might as well live our lives to the fullest. I also loved Seung Hye's role like can a mother get any better? She is so brave and willing to protect her kids from her own husband when she sees that his views for his children's education are not really in her son's best interests. I aspire to be like her - to stand up for what I believe in be it whoever I need to stand against.

I could go on writing about each character's importance in the drama and especially when it comes to the flaws in not just Korea's but Asia's competitive society but that would essentially mean the next 10 hours for me and juicing out the whole drama for those who intend to watch it and leaving none left to anticipate. Therefore, I will stop here. I really hope those who are reading this will try to watch this drama. It is just so much more than just a drama. Finally, hats off to the cast!
