Article: "Please make my daughter like Yeseo" 'Sky Castle' popularity sees surge in academy consulting questions

1. [+1,260, -12] The point of the drama was to make society more conscious of the pressures of school admissions and yet Korea is filled with nothing but Kwak Mihyangs who'll do anything to send their kids to Seoul University
2. [+855, -13] Can people please just watch a drama for what it is ㅋㅋ
3. [+593, -25] It's because these parents are messed up that their kids are a mess character-wise. Shouldn't a drama like this encourage you as the adult, the parent, to fix your ways and make sure that your kid isn't messed up? I have no idea why Korea's education system is such a mess. All parents care about is how much they can brag about their child's profession to others and what societal position their careers earn them. This is why our country isn't advancing but going backwards, and why we'll never be considered first world. Have you ever seen other first world countries plant their kids on a desk and only think of studying as important? They don't waste their time or money on such barbaric thoughts, which is what makes them first world.
4. [+45, -9] You parents do realize that in order for your daughters to be like Yeseo, you need to be at least Yum Jung Ah's level ㅋㅋㅋ So people were hating on the character all this time while secretly respecting her and feeling inspired? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sigh. I was even reading on mom cafes that they were going to get coordis for their own kids, it makes me cringe to think of all the moms who are going to suddenly cosplay as Han Suh Jin ㅠㅠ
5. [+33, -5] The point of the drama is to remind parents to actually be parents, it's not a drama about kids getting into high profile schools and jobs. This is why you shouldn't marry women who are delusional about dramas.
6. [+21, -0] And yet the point of the drama is to show how kids can be broken by a parent's greed ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ...
7. [+19, -0] If you and your partner weren't able to get into Seoul University, don't expect your children to. Let's start by admitting that first.
8. [+14, -3] There are some kids who just aren't cut out for it, no matter how much money their parents pour into consulting and tutoring.. There are so many rich families in Gangnam with high schoolers who don't have good grades... stop dreaming up a fantasy. Your kid doesn't suck at school because they don't have a coordi, it's because you passed down your rotten brain to them.
9. [+13, -2] Colleges should be determined by your hopes and interests, not your grades and resumes... our country is hopeless.
10. [+11, -0] Consult a dumb kid all you can, they're never going to get into Seoul University. None of my friends who got into one of the SKY universities received any type of consulting. Just accept your reality.
11. [+11, -0] Getting consulting doesn't guarantee you Seoul
12. [+10, -0] Do these moms not realize that Yeseo was originally crazy studious even before she received consulting...
13. [+10, -0] As expected of the country of pigs... if anything's trending, everyone has to copy it. Bitcoin, long padding jackets, all so busy to follow along ㅋㅋ
14. [+9, -0] If everyone dreams of becoming a CEO, who will do the work?
