And since these children live in SKY Castle, they only have the three options that “SKY” stands for: Seoul National University, Korea University and Yonsei University. It starts off simple, with the everyday lives of four wealthy families in the SKY Castle community, and then it branches off into the dark, mysterious, and surprisingly hilarious antics that they get into when preparing their children for college. So what is this drama really about? It’s funny because the summary itself would be like a tangled web or an endless maze. With that said, it’s time to gather ‘round, pour the tea, and dish. This particular story may focus on the wealthiest of the wealthy, but it is relevant to anyone living in South Korea in this day and age. Because, yes, SKY Castle had the trifecta of excellent directing, writing and acting, but it also had the bravery to tackle sensitive subject matter in an explicit fashion.

The show reminded me of Heard it Through the Grapevine, as well as the American series Gossip Girl–all three gave an honest, if not also exaggerated, take on the foreign world of the elite. As the show topped the list of highest-rated cable dramas, I could only nod and think Yeah, sounds about right.
I ask myself “What’s the catch?” The catch happens, and I’m disappointed. With hyped-up dramas, I’m used to a certain cycle: I watch an episode. SKY Castle’s ratings kept going up and up, at such an impressive pace, and what was amazing was that those numbers felt 100 percent earned. An addictive story was set, with veteran and rookie actors so talented that they made you question whether or not you could even root for their characters. The satirical dramedy had a quiet premiere, with 1.7 percent, and from there on out, an unexpected spark happened. But watching the astonishing progression of SKY Castle’s viewership ratings had become so entertaining on its own that I just had to jump in. Never in my life have I tuned into a drama solely because of its ratings.
