It wasn't uncommon for me to experience physical abuse for disobeying anything or not achieving expectations. Actually getting perfect? No compliment, only expected to upkeep the results. Got an A, but it wasn't 100%? Not good enough. When I was growing up, anything not perfect was considered failure. Some elements of the drama are definitely exaggerated, but parenting ideals are unfortunately very accurate. This drama hits extra close to home and really resonates with people who relate with any of the characters' upbringings, which is fairly common amongst Asian households with views along the conservative side of the spectrum.Īs someone that grew up in an environment frighteningly similar to some of the children in the drama, these issues are very real. Yes, the aforementioned are important, but at what cost? Certainly not at the expense of giving up all of one's happiness or opportunity for happiness. SKY Castle focuses on a person's wellbeing above all else, be it education, money, or job position. The drama tends to often be dramatized, especially as it is a satirical work, but the underlying themes are never truly lost. The drama has impeccable directing, story is full of plot twists, comedy is subtle and melds well, and the cliffhangers are absolutely wild. SKY Castle is a satirical drama that criticizes practices from corrupt business hierarchy to extreme parenting environments. If I could name a drama equivalent to The Handmaiden, it would be SKY Castle. You can skip to the end for a tl dr summary of the review if you do not wish to read everything. Rewatch Value 9.0 This review will not contain any spoilers, but it will be a long, emotional one-and at some points, very personal.
