And yes, while the styling of the three main female leads is a draw, it’s the message behind the drama that is captivating viewers. just wished more ppl shared my views, albeit really dark views haha.It’s not easy to pull off a really good, binge-worthy Korean drama and at the same time illuminate and educate about an issue that perhaps we as a society need to re-examine, but the recent K-drama Sky Castle is doing just that. In my view her only regret is that Teacher Jo had to go down with her, but perhaps it was a sacrifice for the greater evil.

Ultimately the world is dirty no one really succeeds in life unless you know how to play the game, but she does. This explains the quote at the end too when she said 'Are you sure you won't regret this' - I think the point is that they all will, and by then it'd be too late to go back. And at the end of the day, she got away with it and will continue doing it to others (bcs there'll always be ppl out there in this competitive society who see a need for her), so she's the true winner. Woo Joo would ultimately regret quitting school because realistically it's easier to attain certain things in life with a degree, even things he genuinely wants to do, even if it's not being a doctor. They thought they chose the right path to quit school or their jobs, but that's precisely what she wanted to achieve.

I thought the whole point of the ending of ep 20 was that Coach Kim ultimately successfully ruined the lives of ALL the Sky Castle families, not just one. I wish we got more information on Hye Na’s death though! I know a lot of people wouldn’t have minded episode 19 being the finale, but I appreciated the closure. I feel like too many shows leave me with a lot of unanswered questions, while I had fewer after watching episode 20.

But I guess there are people like that out there haha.Īs a binger (waited until a few days ago to start the drama haha), I really liked the last episode. Woo Joo’s departure felt so jarring because it didn’t fit with the message most of us probably took away from the drama. At the end of the day, education is still important, but it shouldn’t supersede your wellbeing and mental health. I was hoping they’d reach a compromise for Woo Joo to finish high school, followed by a gap year to travel before deciding whether or not to continue his education. I completely agree about Woo Joo’s decision. I prefer to view the ending as not Coach Kim herself being back in the business after time passes, but that other people like her are still out there, and other families will continue seeking out those resources just like the mother of the new family that moves into sky castle. This last episode would probably be better if I was binging the entire thing but in the end, it was a great ride. Overall, Sky Castle was an amazing drama and was a great watch. Woo Joo just gave it up which felt weird. All the other characters showed a moderate level in education. Even the addition of the new mom and what the other kids are doing reinforce the idea that education is important but should be in the hands of those studying.

It lines up with what the series has talked about in terms of the importance of education and how influential it can be. I feel like it would have been a smarter decision for him to put off college and say that he will finish school and travel abroad after. Being unhappy for a few months so you can be happy and have certain qualifications seems like the worthy tradeoff than taking a break and risking never returning to school. You have your entire life to find yourself and be happy. The lesson learned was to balance education while being a good person and keeping your life in focus and in shape.

Education allowed the parents to get where they are but it was bad parenting that caused all of the problems. Woo Joo bailing on his education kind of flies in the face of what the show was showing us. Being educated is important and while not everything you learn in school is relevant to your daily life, the certification you get from completing school sets you up to live your life. The theme I got out of the story was that while education is important, it should not be the only factor parents care about when it comes to their children. Woo Joo's decision to travel was the biggest and probably the only mistake the series made. Happy for Professor Cha and I liked how their family was more of the focus of this episode. I think the end showed that the coach is still out there after some time has passed which is a decent ending at best. There was no amazing twist at the end but more closure. Episode 19 was the true finale in my eyes. Felt more like a drawn-out epilogue than an actual final episode.
