Mindblowing
How do I start this review? I honestly wanted to watch SKY Castle cause I wanted to know why people were praising it so much. I let the hype died down a little and I even came late to the party as I'm watching almost three years later since it came out, but I can say with my hand in my heart that I have cero regreats. It was totally worth the 20 episodes.
It's been so long since I last watched such a raw and cruel drama. The story itself is so twisted, and I love how it shows what a person is capable of doing to achieve their goals. In this story, I dare to say that the adults are the scariest people, what they are willing to do, even walk over others, to achieve everything they want.
This drama gave me the biggest, scariest and longest goosebumps ever. I couldn't believe what my eyes were watching, what I was hearing. The cruelty of every character, how selfless they were, I literlly cried of pure anger and frustration.
One of the things I liked the most about this story is the development of the characters, the difference between who they were when it started vs. how they grew up as the story was concluding. The characters themselves were amazing, each and everyone. The antagonists, the secondary characters, the main cast themselves, everything fitted well and was done excelently.
But certainly what I loved the most about this drama was the message they were trying to convey. How obsession with education and with being the number one can drive you crazy, how society imposes this idea that evevryone has to graduate from school and go to college otherwise you are no one, how greed can make you do the scariest things, even get you killed. I love how raw this story is, and how it shows the true faces of people.
I don't know what else to say, those 20 episodes are totally worth it, every second of it. I will probably rewatch it in the future.
