One of Best drama I ever watched

I usually never write reviews. Guess this is the first time. Guys, just go ahead and watch. It's one of the best dramas i ever watched. I really wish for a season 2. Sung soo ji as an adult. It will be a hit. Just a high schooler with her wits, guts and help from friends cleaned an entire school. She is really one of the best character. I admire her. Not like she's perfect. But she is strong, brave, dare to think, dare to do anything she can to solve the issue. She didn't just stay the same as she is in the first episode, she evolved, improved and got better. This teaches you a lot. The concept is just mind blowing. A pyramid.. You know the one who is in the bottom can be the one who gets to new heights as long you are brave enough to face everything. Just great. Ost is also good. Higher ??.

Thrilling,captivating and a good watch

If you are looking for some thrillers set in highschool then go and and watch it. I didn’t feel any drag anywhere. The drama is also written well and acted out very well too. I did not expect shin seul ki bro, she was one of my favourite in singles inferno i did not even recognise her here. I was so surprised to see her. Jang da ah also did so great considering it her debut. Overall a thrilling,great drama.

High School Drama that shows Societal Complexities

I was hesitant to start this drama when it came out all because it might just be another high school drama. It was not. I finished this one in just 3 days whereas my usual was a week or two for short dramas, sometimes to a month for a full-length (16 episodes, 1 hr 15 min run time). I was shocked that it had several elements and not just youthful elements. It really showed that adults can influence their children and as these children learn from adults, in turn, that's how they are as they grow. Yet, these adults wonder how they could have raised such children. Well?

It was fast-paced and just had the right amount of episodes to fit all the things I needed to see. It does not really offer a good ending but I believe that's just how it could have that "happy ending" in reflection to real-life happenings. Despite having the option to escape things, the powerful, the rich, and those who have more resources and connection ALWAYS find their way out.

I already know that the protagonist will overcome things but getting there, it was thrilling! Just when you think she gets it, she doesn't. The solution was easy to end it all but getting there, as life always is, is complicated, or rather, we always try to complicate things before stopping them. This is also one of the best dramas for me this 2024.

This drama was good but it felt kind of empty

So I just finished this drama last night and I kind of have mixed feelings, because I really like the cast and the story but there’s a few things I wasn’t really a big fan of.
For example the implied ending. I didn’t really like the implication that there’s gonna be some sort of repeat of everything that we just saw.
It’s like even if the main girls might be able to stop the game before it starts this time because of all that’s happened before, it still makes me think—what was the point of all of this if it’s gonna end from the start you know?
And I think the feeling of emptiness I got from it comes from the fact that— despite there not being many moments when I felt bored— not much happened throughout all 10 episodes. I think I wish there was more episodes with more stuff happening. I’ve become exhausted with these short season dramas and tv shows.

Anyways yeah that’s it.
Good but kind of lacking in some ways.

A pleasant surprise.

This show is absolutely amazing. When I started watching it, I didn't have very high expectations, but oh, was I surprised. The acting of all the characters is incredibly on point, and they don't lack depth at all . Each character is fascinating in their own right, hiding secrets and undergoing character development throughout the series.

Let me tell you, the story is so interesting. Despite only being six episodes in, so much has already happened. Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of girls' love themes before, but this drama completely changed my perspective. The relationships (ships), are unbelievably cute, and I'm rooting for them to become official.

The female lead is insanely intelligent, something that I admire. Additionally, the second female lead has the kindness, creating a perfect balance between the two characters. Together, they form a duo that complements each other beautifully.

This drama has my heart, and I highly recommend giving it a watch.

the acting is really good but the ending could have been better if they follow the story.

I've read the webtoo and I'm honestly quite disappointed that they didn't follow the ending...the whole reason Harin picked on Ja-Eun was not because 'she used to be a bystander and didn't play with her' but because they were sisters. their parents where poor and couldn't take care of 2 children. the wanted to put one of them out for adoption. the sisters made pact but Ja-Eun betraid Se-eun/Harin at the very last moment. Harin had to leave, she endured a lot of torture in the orphanage. one day she saw her sister with their mom being all happy and she decided to get revenge.

Nothing special

Bound to deal with the bullying issue from the start. But is it worth watching?

How could anyone not like Bona as the main role? But we expected some feminine Weak Hero Class here, so the disappointment is great. Instead, she's just a common girl who's a bit smarter than others, that's all.

The main antagonist has a very weak motivation. Ha Rin is not a pshycho, and not well motivated either. The writer probably tried to avoid extremes. As a result, the story is plagued by holes.

Fun to watch, but nothing special. Enjoy without expecting miracles.

Sigh

Koreans do love the sight of their own self-imposed suffering, however, this drama was inexplicably terrible at eliciting any sympathy and it might have had a more negative impact that even my regard for the well being of the characters (and by extension, Korean citizens) is at rock bottom. I just don't care if they push themselves to death or whatever other fun ways they devise to bully and hate on others in their society.


Perhaps if they try hard enough, Korea as a country might implode and reset itself. Anyway, the drama was melodramatic for no reason at all and I hoped they'd all die.
