The drama follows four wives who live in the elite SKY Castle neighborhood, a neighborhood populated with elite and upper class families who would do anything and everything to keep their status in society and who are obsessed with sending their children to the top three universities in the country.
#SKY CASTLE RATINGS TV#
This drama enjoyed monster ratings and enough attention that US TV network NBC announced that they will be making an American remake of the show, something I’m really not that keen about, but I’ll share more on my thoughts about that later.
It was directed by Jo Hyun Mi, was written by Yoo Hyun Mi and ran from Novemto February 1, 2019. “SKY Castle” ran for twenty episodes on JTBC and was also released on Netflix and VIU as well. This was definitely worth the hype, although the last episode came across as a little bit too preachy in the end, making this an almost perfect Kdrama classic of this generation. While I may be very late to the party, this drama went above and beyond my expectations what with great direction, a tightly paced story and a brilliant ensemble cast that was balanced all throughout the drama. With monster ratings, a lot of hype, and somewhat touchy subject matter, “SKY Castle” was one of those dramas that I felt was going to be a great one and one that I wanted to watch as soon as it came out last year.
