SKY kaeseul (2018)
Exceptional and complex
I enjoyed watching this show. The story depicts the realities of a highly competitive society and complexities in the family. The struggle to be the best in one's environment in order to survive is a crucial point. This challenge apparently drives people to edges.
I noticed how forgiveness and reconciliation is quite easy for everyone.
I like the diversity of characters and roles in the plot. Each one deals with his own thing. For instance, the hilarious pyramid-obsessed dad was very traditional and authoritative yet lovable since he tried to adjust his restrictive character to preserve his love to his family.
Dr. Kang's wife is a typical mom who struggled to accommodate her in-laws' expectations as well as her social community by denying her flawed past. Maybe she was under the impression that her pretense will serve as a survival tool in order to co-exist against societal biases. However it eventually caught up on her. One can run but can't hide forever. She wants to protect her family at all cost even if entails resorting to drastic measures.
On a different note, coach Kim's dark tones and manipulations went overboard by taking advantage of desperate people's weaknesses at the same time gratifying her own. Although she may be evil on one side, but her soft spot surfaces when her daughter is involved. Also, when she got caught, she attempted to spare her men.
Hyena's tragic fate was undeserving. Her flaws could have been dealt with differently considering her existing circumstances. It's true that she had a perplexing personality that displayed a devious character in the making. Her struggle for love and acceptance went wayward. This is quite disturbing in the real sense. However, her other side also showed a loving daughter and strength of character. She wasn't given the chance to prove her worth thou.
In general, at least each one's unique battle shares a moral lesson for viewers.

Empowering, Heart fluttering,Interesting.
This is truly one of the best I've ever watched. First, amidst the historical portrayal on prejudices against women in terms of power, freedom, and societal status, the heroine is an epitome of someone who had proven this preconceived notion otherwise. Her phenomenal character stood out despite her predicament. Secondly, the story depicts how true love transcends beyond gender and status. Although the unconventional affection that was portrayed in the earlier episodes was a deal-breaker in a male dominated culture and era, the plot was carefully elucidated in a very realistic lens. I wish there's more of this.
The story shows how power corrupts the minds of some, but brings out the best in others.
The cuteness of the cast is overwhelming.

Interesting and informative
The story unfolds important points regarding culture, politics, and societal structure of two different worlds in a single geographic location. However, despite the differences, both sides prioritizes their will in bringing forth peace and order by respecting each territorial rights and boundaries.
Hyun Bin's overzealous attitude in eliminating risks that may put her love interest in danger shows how the power of love dominates in the process.
The path in overcoming challenges in search for true love and happiness is not an easy one. It is complex, perilous and rough, but it will always find a way.
The cast performance is phenomenal and the story is very informative.
