🍿 NEW K-DRAMA! Sky Castle EP1 Reaction

One of my best kdramas! thanks for reacting to it

i dont know whether someone already mentioned it, but there is a fanmade mv for BTS N.O using clips from this series and the whole song makes perfect sense.

OMGGGG I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE REACT TO SKY CASTLE IM SO EXCITED

Familia! You really have to watch Dear X in the future, it’s just so good too

I can't believe Sky Castle actually won the poll! One of the best k-dramas I've ever watched. Sky Castle and Goblin/Guardian are some of the most famous k-dramas of that time. I finished watching the first episode and immediately went to listen to N.O "In Seoul, to the SKY. Would parents be happy?" 🎵 And to think that BTS was already bringing this type of content in their lyrics at the beginning of their careers

can't wait for the next episode 😊

thank you for the reaction familia

I think you didn’t full get the book club scene they all read The same book but the girl was saying that the book says being selfish is good and the boys (twins)were saying the book says only humans have the ability to overcome the selfish genes I.e even if you have selfish genes you as a human don’t have to be selfish , here the drama is showing us how even if you read the same book your takeaways from that will be different based on your own personality

Hello Familia. Although this drama is mainly focused around rich people where it does have so many commentary about class, especially in South Korea. I hope you guys keep in mind that the education system, the pressure, the overbearing parents who appear to be caring, the stressed students, the abuse in form of care, everything is so relevant even today in not only South Korea but also Asia as a whole. I'm an Asian myself and it's crazy how students still unalive themselves because the education system and pressure and the society is just so cruel to us students. This drama is very nuanced and it may appear dramatic but there is an underlying commentary which I loved so much.

i love to watch this with you familia

So excited to see familia reaction to first Makjang k-dramas.. and since this show is Makjang you can really tell some parts are quite over dramatic and intense.. but i guess new experience for the new K-dramas genre right? 😭🤣

feel honored that my comment getting an appearance in the Familia video, kinda not expecting at all 🤣

THANK YOU FOR THE REACTION FAMILIA 🩹

I know you guys remember that BTS mentioned this K-drama OST befor but here the short clip about it 🤣 https://youtu.be/kEHlPwgVdDU?si=CLQVG1pzXHbFlajs

Buckle up familia, because you don't know what's you got into after this one episode down 😭

A looot of times in Asian communities controlling moms come across as very caring moms like here you guys thought she’s doing this for very selfless reasons but it’s nit though right she wants to gain favour of her mother-in-law by getting her daughter into med school she’s also doing all these since many years imagine how much pressure that would put on the child seeing all that even if the child wants the same thing it would make the child feel like a do or die situation instead of just an achievement that the child desires

SKSJSMDNDJSMKL IM SO EXCITED TO REWATCH THIS SHOW WITH YOU BOTH 💜

So when the subtitles translate to mam or sir they are not really speaking the Korean equivalent to it it’s just the English doesn’t have a word that exactly translates to that Korean word like here she called the staff ahjeomoni which doesn’t have an English word it’s just a term used to refer to older ladies doesn’t automatically mean respect you can call someone Ahjeomoni will still do disrespectful things 😅sometimes even when they use the word hyung-nim it gets translates to sir

Just finished watching this, familia. Thank u! U have no idea what u'r getting into. And it gets even crazier. Buckle up!

thank you for reacting sky castle familia 💜

Fyi, just like the footage you watched in Rise of Bangtan before that explain about how in SK, university placement dictates social mobility, career trajectory, income, and even marriage prospects. The "SKY" Acronym: Represents the top three elite universities—Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University.

It's kinda funny everytime you referred them as Im Sol and Taesang here, but they truly giving different side of acting and personality here.. Funny because everytime "Im Sol" appeared on the screen, you mentioned Sunjae but then we got crumbs with "Taesung" instead 😭🤣

Can't wait to watch next episode with you, familia 💜

I first watched maybe 4 to 5 years ago. Didn't know I'd like it this much. I am sure you'll like it too

Fun fact: The actress who plays Im Sol's mom, Yum Jung-ah, is actually an ARMY! 💜 She's mentioned several times on other shows that she's a BTS fan. A little context about the setting: Daechi-dong, which was mentioned a few times in this episode, is an affluent neighborhood in Gangnam, Seoul. It's especially famous for being the heart of Korea's private education scene and one of the most competitive areas in the country when it comes to college admissions. So when Korean viewers hear "Daechi-dong," it immediately brings to mind wealthy families, expensive private academies, and intense academic competition.

Fyi, in South Korea, SKY is an acronym representing the country’s top three most prestigious universities: S - Seoul National University K - Korea University Y - Yonsei University Admission into a SKY university is widely viewed as the defining key to upper-class success, wealth, and power in South Korea.

Tbh this kdrama is so uneasy to watch, but this time i try to watch it again with you, Familia 💛

Okay i did not expect that ending what the helly

Uthman’s expressions whenever things got cringe had me laughing out loud. There are definitely a few cringe parts, but the overall storyline is genuinely really good. Can’t wait for the next episode! 🍿🔥

I really appreciate how Familia stopped to digest the tension in Episode 1 instead of just rushing through. It immediately reminded me of "N.O" by BTS—back in 2013 they were already talking about how parental ambition can weigh down students. Seeing that dynamic dramatized here really gives you a clearer look at the system. Solid start to the series! ✨

FINALLY SKY CASTLE 🤩

Yay super excited to watch this for the first time with you familia

Help. I cant keep up. Lol. Been too busy. Im currently still watching the final 2 eps of atty woo but im super excited to be able to rewatch sky castle with u familia. U will see a totally different Im Sol in this kdrama. One of the best btw. RM and Suga recommended this so I watched it.
