Once a month, students at Baekyeon Girls' High School cast their votes in a popularity poll. The result? A brutal ranking system that determines the entire social hierarchy of the school.

Sung Su Ji has just transferred and scores a zero. After starting at the bottom and becoming a target of school violence, can Su Ji make her way to the top of the pyramid? Or will she topple the game altogether?

Hierarchical social ladder, brainiac FL underdog, unshaken head administration, psychopathic female character, cruelty and bullying and mild betrayal in sisterhood, male lead with an agenda

dark, school drama to keep you on your toes. Great quality and great cast. If your looking for a drama to binge this will really have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

"To.Two" and "Pyramid Game" have different plots, but they have similar concept about social hierarchy in school where the students are divided with barriers that gives them conflict with each other and shows various problems in school due to it. "To.Two" uses tickets for a social media app while "Pyramid Game" uses popularity poll for a ranking system.

It has a high school setting as well. A transfer kid. There are rich kids bullying the poor and transferred ones mercilessly without any consequences as parents and teachers have turned a blind eye.

Similar aspects of a popularity contest being organized by the unlikely villain and being used as a basis for bullying and unfair treatment. The villain has almost everyone under their control and wants to be the center of attention.

Differences - high school ( Pyramid Game) College ( Beauty Newbie)
- Beauty Newbie has other side stories ( romance,family drama) besides the main plot.
-Beauty Newbie (being Thai) it's less intense/violent/cruel.

There aren't many things similar between these two but pyramid game definitely gave me sky castle vibes
Some of the scenes take place at school
There's a lot of pressure from the parents
The students kinda have to go against each other but some relationships are formed

Unconscious after a car accident, university student Chun Yu and her best friend Qing You mysteriously find themselves inside the dangerous world of a VR game. Several other people have also unwittingly ended up here, and they soon discover they were all involved in the accident - except for substitute teacher Gao Xuan, who claims to have simply fallen asleep. Seeing no other option than to play the game, they eventually beat the level and wake up ... only to immediately return the next night. Faced with deadly monsters, puzzles, and mind games, the players have to learn to cooperate despite being unsure if they can trust each other. The pressure increases when it turns out that people who die in the game fall into a coma in real life. And then several more students are dragged into the game! The group spends their nights trying to survive the next level and their days investigating who is doing this to them and why. As they grow closer, friendships and budding romances are repeatedly put to the test by the stress of the situation and the evil machinations of the people behind the game...

Pyramid game is a drama while the devil’s plan is a variety show
And technically DP was based on the Liars Game, but the alliances, the planning and manipulation are the same
It’d have been fun if PG had side games, but they make it up with the bullying and mind games

- Involves bullying
- A higher ranking/position basically enables them to take advantage of others who rank lower than them.

-smart yet manipulative female lead
-female centric
-enemies turned allies
-hierarchy in society
-single parent
