It was surprisingly good!

A group of students engage in an hierarchical game where they vote for eachother and are graded in groups of ABCD and then F for the person who fails to get any votes...this person then becomes a victim of consensual bullying by the other members especially those in the top grades.....Our female lead becomes a victim to this bullying after she transfers schools and lands in grade F for not having any votes......and right there and then we witness her slowly learn about the rules of the game and how it has affected the students relationships and even the students psychology or mental health...things heat up when she discovers that the person who made the game is one of their class mates...and that's when the story heats off as she tries to get her classmates on her side in order for them to destroy the game....these students are placed in a psychological warfare with one another as they try to find a way to get rid of the game.

I loved the premise of this drama and I must say it's execution was done in a way that felt really entertaining and Intriguing to me as a watcher.

What did I loved about the show?

I loved the acting...I loved how every one delivered in terms of acting I was told that it was an acting debut for the girl who played the villain of the show and Iam suprised by how good she was..her micro eye expressions and body language always gave me chills...in addition to Bona our female lead who out did her self.....the support characters also did an amazing job.

I loved the way the characters were written most especially the main female lead and the villain of the show..I love how these characters mirrored eachother in terms of strengths and determination and strategies but what differentiated them was the fact that one was using them for good and the other for bad....I love how smart these two characters were made on top of being manipulative and strategists....I loved how the main female lead was a smart planner she did everything after giving it much thought and that made her character stand out for me...I enjoyed her inner monologues since they gave us an idea on what her plans were....either way she was smart and easy to root for......the other characters also blended in perfectly since they all had different personalities which added to the charm of the series.

I loved the story pacing which didn't seem fast nor slow but just alright and it kept me invested both physically and emotionally...it was an intense yet really satisfying and emotional ride.

I loved the osts and background music that added to the intensity of the different scenes....the osts gave me goosebumps especially the opening intro ost that hyped me up for the drama.

I loved the finale and how it wrapped up most of the things in a way that didn't feel rushed but rather they took time off to answer questions arroused and also tied up the different stories of the different characters...it felt satisfying and rewarding.

I loved most of everything about this drama to be honest..it might not have been the most perfectly written but it was entertaining nonetheless.

What I didn't like about it was the fact that it was too short...it ended sooner than I wanted it too but at the same time Iam glad the number of episodes were enough to introduce the story delve into it and then finale conclude it.

Do I recommend this?

YES, If you are looking for a short yet brilliantly written and thrilling drama.

Note: There are scenes of violence and they can be disturbing but they lessen with every episode so you don't have to worry about them being many.....

It's a good and entertaining watch!
