The drama Bitch X Rich, released on the 7th, portrays the intense power game and psychological battles that unfold when Hye In (played by Lee Eun Saem), the only witness to a female student's murder case, transfers to the highly admired Cheongdam International High School and encounters Je Na (played by Yeri), the queen of Diamond 6, the most influential figure on campus. Lee Eun Saem vividly portrays the true nature of school life through her role as Hye In, evoking a sense of relatability to reality.

When Hye In interrupts a Cheongdam International High School entrance interview by splashing water to correct Na Yeon (played by Ko Ju Hee) for taking advantage of her weakness, she suffers the consequences. She is accused of stealing and becoming the center of school gossip.

Seeking leniency from the chairman of Cheongdam International High School, Hye In's wishes are not granted. She desperately tries to cling on and waits aimlessly in the parking lot. However, Hye In, who briefly fell asleep, is startled when she sees Hae In (played by Jang Sung Yoon) falling from the rooftop.

After the incident, Hye In decisively decides to transfer to Cheongdam International High School and confidently leaves the school. Wearing luxury shoes to match her school uniform, Hye In receives mysterious notes and begins to suspect Je Na, who was seen wearing the same shoes she lost, leading to a confrontation between the two.

Lee Eun Saem's performance is praised for showcasing the unique personality of a seemingly ordinary but extraordinary character based on her solid acting skills.

Ghost Studio, her agency, stated, "As the narrative of the character who transfers to Cheongdam International High School after witnessing a murder case truly begins, Lee Eun Same, standing in the eye of the storm, will lead the drama in an exciting manner. Please look forward to how she will navigate the story and build relationships with new characters."

Meanwhile, Bitch X Rich will be available every Wednesday on Wavve and Netflix.
