1. [+922, -12] People prefer quality dramas now. We're past the generation where people watched dramas just for the star cast.

2. [+865, -9] Because the drama is full of great actors right down to the child roles. All four ajummas and ajusshies of the castle are so good.. and Kim Seo Hyung gives me goosebumps.

3. [+737, -6] Watch it once and you'll fall for it.. the characters are so perfect and goosebump-inducing~

4. [+90, -6] Well, duh? We're tired of dramas about lovey-dovey somes. Park Bogum and Song Hye Gyo are always doing the same old roles... Standards have gone up and I feel like 'Sky Castle' really raises the quality of Korean dramas. The director said that the cast really put their soul into their acting and we can see that.

5. [+75, -2] 'Sky Castle' is so good that it feels gross to even compare it to 'Boyfriend'

6. [+58, -3] The tension in the drama is crazy, it's been so long since I've waited week for week

7. [+46, -4] Duh, no one can relate to 'Boyfriend'

8. [+44, -1] We no longer care about the stars! Dramas with crappy acting and bad scripts are only ever going to be sold in China or SEA anymore ^^

9. [+42, -3] I can't stand 'Boyfriend' because Song Hye Gyo just doesn't match with Park Bogum at all no matter how youthful she is. The story's boring too.

10. [+40, -3] Duh. It's a GG with how fun 'Sky Castle' is compared to how boring 'Boyfriend' is.

11. [+39, -2] 'Boyfriend' is well below expectations considering how much media play it had. Can't even compare to 'Sky Castle' since their entire cast is made up of talented actors, even down to the young child actors.

12. [+31, -3] Top stars are only useful for the first episode. Just like how a good restaurant needs to have good food, a drama needs to be a good drama to keep people interested.

13. [+30, -2] Best drama of the year!

14. [+28, -3] Can't even compare to 'Boyfriend'... 'Sky Castle' truly shows what it means to have an hour fly by

1. [+328, -6] Oh daebak, Seri nuna is finally going to show up. I'm super curious what her personality will be like.

2. [+153, -7] So she's the Harvard daughter of Professor Cha and Yoon Se Ah... I have a feeling she'll show up in the story after dropping out of Harvard or make a return with a foreign boyfriend and shake things up....

3. [+25, -1] Hul, this drama has become such a headliner now. Really shows what a drama without a star casting can do as long as it has great acting and a script.

4. [+20, -1] Didn't think we'd see Seri but I guess we are, Professor Cha's most favorite daughter

5. [+12, -0] Professor Cha kept bragging about how she's so smart because she takes after him, finally we get to see her ㅋㅋ
