Drama 

The center of the gripping tale is a satirical drama that explores the parents of affluent families' frantic attempts to raise their kids better than anybody else in Sky Castle, a housing development where the wealthiest 0.1% of Koreans reside.

The best university in the drama, Junam University, houses only families of chosen professors in SKY Castle, which depicts the tale of education, honor, money, and the higher desire of those who are indispensable.

How are their kids going to study for the college entrance exams?

From mothers struggling with private education to creating a third-generation family of doctors, and legal professionals, fathers struggling with bluff, and children suffering from entrance exam hell have distinct characteristics, doubling viewers' interest and revealing incidents every episode and hidden secrets from Castle residents.

The fresh story with "private schooling for entrance tests" in the foreground, the aspiration of upper-class wealthy people, and the somber inner satire are dramas that make viewers feel refreshed and empathized at the same time every time and reflect on what a successful life is.

① The Origin (Planning Intent - about the director) 

Q. How did the child actor casting go?

"A casting director is generally present. Director Cho Hyun-tak cast the actors in SKY Castle himself. I met countless actors all day and repeated this for days and weeks in order to select a young actor from a pool of many new performers.

Q. What was the problem with the ending scene?

"The script for the tenth episode had already been released when I began filming the first episode. As a result, I was able to forecast the plot behind me and plan the ending with ease."

Q. Since the theatrical production lasts the entire drama, what do you pay special attention to when directing?

“Because there were so many lines that people exchanged, I attempted to concentrate on looks and actions. I attempted to capture and communicate subtly changing facial expressions, gestures, and shoulder shaking. On the outside and within, there are numerous stories. I attempted to express a double picture that was celebrated verbally but not inside. Even if a guy lies, I don't believe he can lie from behind.”

Q. How did you feel when the script leaked for Sky Castle's 17th episode?
While editing the 17th episode, I discovered the 17th episode of the script leak. It was beyond embarrassing. In the editing room, I was debating how to cut the 17th part so that viewers could see the drama without losing the tension. I was enraged, though, when I learned that the script had been leaked and the content was spreading outside. Once upon a time, the labor of a theatre was a little overstated, such as "creating blood pus by squeezing it." But I can't believe someone ruined everyone's hard work! Some say it's marketing because of the Sky Castle script leak, but I never thought so. I never intended to. I recognize that this is a continuing investigation, and I believe that this is a rigorous crime."

Q. Did you cover any aspects of the production?

"I actually parked in the Daechi-dong academy district and stood there for quite some time. A teenage student was seen walking along the street with a credit card, visiting businesses, and eateries, making payments, and exiting. If I hadn't been the director of SKY Castle, I wouldn't have known."

Q. I heard that some people are looking for a coordinator similar to Kim Jooyoung.

“I had heard that there was someone looking for such a coordinator. That, I believe, is the stark face of our educational reality. It's both annoying and unfortunate. Because of education, we wanted to discuss the interaction between parents and children.”

Q. What is the best scene in director Cho Hyun-tak's drama? 

"The early suicide god of Lee Myung-joo is the same, but the iconic scene that comes to mind right now is when Han Seo-jin (Yum Jung-ah) kneels down on Kim Joo-young" (Kim Seo-hyung). "Can you manage it?" Kim Joo-young inquired. Han Seo-jin said, "I can manage anything" and "I'm confident in anything," and when I was filming the moment, I realized that this would not only be the narrative of a mother sending her child to Seoul National University Medical School but could also leave something to the audience. Is there a villainous aspect to the character Han Seo-jin in the play? It is selfish and unlike the character of main character that people are familiar with. As a result, he is a difficult-to-like main character. However, I was curious how people would react if I performed truly in the spirit of my mother."

Q. Have you ever heard of the Sky Castle ending spoilers?

"There is, of course. It's incredible how they extrapolated the finale in such detail as if it were an actual screenplay. "However, none of the predictions I've heard have come true."

② The difference between Drama and Real person

Kim Seo-hyung is the primary antagonist in the play SKY Castle. Born in 1978, perhaps.

She has a sleek and slender body with no disheveled hair, a firm, low tone and voice combined with his usual black outfit, and a sharp attitude that does not back down regardless of what the opponent says, displaying great charisma and dealing with high-class wives from the background while maintaining a high-handed and coercive attitude. However, he/she skilfully changed his/her attitude depending on the situation, and while dealing with Su-im, he/she opted to cry and appeal to the other person's sympathies.

She stated of her true personality, "There is a forceful side, but it is a more just side. She appears to have a personality that expresses herself." I close it tightly when I don't want to talk, she explained. “I tend to move based on my emotions.”

The protagonist of the drama "SKY Castle" is Yeom Jung-ah.  Born on November 17, 1976.

Kang Jun-sang's wife,  Kang Ye-seo, and Kang Ye-bin's mother are all members of the Kang family. She is the daughter of a bank president and a family of distinguished children, but her real name is Kwak Mi-hyang, as stated on the official website, and she was raised by the parents of a bank president recognized by SKY Castle residents.

Her self-esteem is utterly overwhelming, and she is skilled at threatening and negotiating, regardless of the cost to her daughters.

"After filming all night, Yeom Jung-ah is digesting the schedule of sleeping little by little in the car on the road," an official said, adding, "I am really exhausted, but I have never been irritated or dissatisfied with people around me." "I always handle my assistants gently," she explained. Yeom Jung-ah highlighted her personality as well. "In fact, she's a really dutiful style at home," she explained. "I don't even talk to my husband," she exclaimed, prompting amusement from the audience.

The main character's rival in the drama "SKY Castle," played by actor Lee Tae-ran.

Among the key protagonists, he is the last to arrive at SKY Castle. Hwang Chi-wife young's and the mother of Hwang Woo-joo. On February 10, 1976, I was born. Hwang Chi-young is the universe's stepmother, but she has the nicest and most harmonious household of the characters in the book, and she adores Woo-ju as if he were her own son, which is difficult to conceive.

Han Seo-jin is a high school graduate who unintentionally knows everything of her sad background, which makes her uncomfortable with Seo-jin, who checks himself, and Jin-hee, who pursues her.

In an interview with Lee Tae-ran, she said, “I liked the human Lee Soo-im character because the character itself was simple, easy-going, and felt similar to me.”

③ Feelings for Popularity, etc

• The first secret to "Sky Castle's" appeal is that it reflects the reality of Korea, which is embroiled in a vicious entrance examination conflict. Even in average Korean households, the primary concern is the education of their children.
  The drama emphasizes the topic of children's education and harshly satirizes contemporary educational reality, particularly the excessive private education of the upper class. This is particularly effectively exemplified by an admission exam organizer named Kim Joo-young. Although it is dramatized since it is a setting in the play, people sympathize with it because it mirrors the unpleasant reality of schooling.
• The second key to popularity is a diverse cast of characters. The play is led by Han Seo-jin (Yum Jung-ah), Lee Soo-im (Lee Tae-ran), Noh Seung-hye (Yoon Se-ah), Jin Jin-hee (Oh Na-ra), and Kim Joo-young (Kim Seo-hyung), all of whom are charming as different characters.
  To begin with, Han Seo-jin is a man who falsely lives his life after eliminating his family in order to elevate his standing. Recognizing this, Lee Soo-im attempts to exhibit his bare face about his ambition to advance in rank, and the thing to observe is how Han Seo-jin displays his attitude toward Lee Soo-im. Furthermore, the presence of Noh Seung-hye, Jin Jin-hee, and Kim Joo-young around them draws the attention of the audience. Noh Seung-hye, seduced by her spouse, meets Lee Soo-im and discloses her feelings, but Jin Jin-hee is a follower of Han Seo-jin, and he slips, loses his backbone, and wanders. Furthermore, Kim Joo-young, a coaching teacher in charge of them, is directing the play with a powerful girl crush that makes fathers kneel.
• Their impassioned performance is the third element to their popularity. Kim Jung-intense nan's performance, which made exceptional appearances, drew viewers in from the start, and the primary characters, including Yeom Jung-ah, Yoon Se-ah, and Oh Na-ra, added to their immersion by completing their characters early on. Kim Seo-charisma hyung's as a coordinator, in particular, blows fire against Yeom Jung-ah, and Lee Tae-ran, who has a completely different atmosphere, joins as a resident of Sky Castle, resulting in an interesting cultural confrontation. Veteran actors portraying husband roles and young actors playing children both contribute to the play's brilliance with performances that are appropriate for their characters.
