Penelitian ini membahas tentang relevansi antara education fever yang dipahami orang tua terhadap kebahagiaan anak seperti yang digambarkan dalam serial drama Korea berjudul SKY Castle. Relevansi antara education fever yang dialami dan dipahami orang tua terhadap kebahagiaan anak yang ada dalam drama dianalisis dan dibandingkan dengan fakta sosial yang ada di Korea Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori sosiologi sastra menurut Alan Swingewood (1972) serta perspektif education fever dan kebahagiaan menurut Jeong Kyu Lee (2017). Berdasarkan hasil analisis, ditemukan dua bentuk education fever yang dialami orang tua drama SKY Castle, yaitu diberikannya pendidikan tambahan kepada anak dan adanya orientasi yang berlebihan terhadap pencapaian akademik. Selain bentuk, ditemukan juga dampak education fever yang diyakini orang tua terhadap anak, yaitu stresnya anak dan munculnya pikiran anak untuk bunuh diri. Terakhir, drama SKY Castle menunjukkan relevansi antara education fever yang dialami orang tua terhadap kebahagiaan anak melalui tiga pandangan, yaitu dianggapnya education fever sebagai semangat pendidikan yang kuat, education fever di Korea Selatan bukanlah cara yang tepat untuk meraih kebahagiaan, dan dijadikannya education fever sebagai salah satu kesempatan untuk memperbaiki status sosial dan politik.

This research discusses the relevance of parents' understanding on education fever to children's happiness as represented in Korean drama series entitled SKY Castle. The relevance of parents' understanding on education fever to children's happiness reflected in the drama is compared to the social facts in South Korea. Comparison is achieved by using the theory of sociology of literature proposed by Alan Swingewood (1972) and by incorporating three perspectives of education fever and happiness by Jeong Kyu Lee (2017). Lee argued that education fever has been regarded as the strong zeal for education; that education fever is not a suitable means to pursue happiness; and that education fever gives opportunity to upgrade one's socio-political position. Based on the analysis, there are two forms of parents' understanding on education fever reflected in SKY Castle. They are parents' high ambition to provide private education for their children and parents' high expectation in their children's academic achievement. The research also finds that there are effects of parents' understanding on education fever on children such as children's stress as caused by parents' academic pressure towards them and the children's tendency to commit a suicide attempt. Then, SKY Castle shows that there is the relevance of parents' understanding on education fever and children's happiness. Finally, it is shown that education fever can not provide happiness for children characters as portrayed in the SKY Castle drama. This research concludes that SKY Castle drama represents the relevance of parents' understanding on education fever and children's happiness in South Korea.
