Bitch X Rich

both unfold inside prestigious high schools ruled by wealthy elite students who follow strict social ranks and hide dark secrets. a newcomer from a humble background transfers into this privileged world and disrupts the order while investigating a suspicious death or crime tied to the school. both dramas expose how rich families and powerful people cover up truth and protect their own no matter what happens. they show harsh bullying deep corruption and dangerous secrets hidden behind fancy school walls, and both keep tension high as the newcomer fights to uncover what everyone else is trying to bury.

The cover screams homo, the synopsis screams homo, the title screams homo, the character dynamics are homo, but the characters are actually straight because homosexuality doesn't exist in korea.
but if you put on your yuri goggles, medium thickness is enough, you can just imagine it's lesbian and it works perfectly

Really, they should invent a separate name for korean dramas like these, not exactly "womance" more like "schizo closeted" on a meta level

Rich student setting

*is also a law drama

Death of a student / mystery

School violence

Rich kids

If you liked "Bitch X Rich" then you'd enjoy "Class of Lies" because:

• Both are set in school & about figuring out who the perpetrator of a murder case is.
• Although "Bitch X Rich" has more of a web-drama feel, it will definitely have you wondering who the killer is; Because everyone is suspicious.
• Both dramas serve no romance for the MLs.

Overall: I'd rate "Bitch X Rich" around a 6/10 because towards the middle it fell flat and the had an open ending; Whilst I'll rate "Class of Lies" around a 7.5/10.

Class divide & privilege ? Both dramas explore the sharp gap between the wealthy elite and ordinary students, showing how money and status shape relationships.

School setting ? The main conflicts unfold in prestigious schools, where competition, secrets, and ambition drive the story.

Identity & transformation ? Characters struggle with who they are versus who they want to be — whether through magical change (Golden Spoon) or social climbing (Bitch x Rich).

Moral dilemmas ?? Each drama asks: What would you sacrifice for success? Choices around loyalty, friendship, and ambition are central.

Dark tone with suspense ? While not horror, both series carry tension, mystery, and emotional weight that keep viewers hooked.

School and bullying, revenge, etc..

Homicide mystery in both.

Both dramas have the main leads who are growing up in poverty, while the second leads are rich, also school bullying is evident in both dramas.

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

the main premise isn’t similar, but the two dramas involve prestigious high schools in which poorer female leads are able to attend. in both, dark events occur but in bxtch x rich they are darker.

Solomon's Perjury is a good mysterious school death story. The two parts together also amount to a similar length to the mini drama - longer than a typical movie but quicker than a full length drama.

Quite Similar cuz in both drama main lead is an female and they fight ?????????

Both drama has
-Fake identity.
-Bullying.
-High School.
-Power females.
-Peculiar male leads.
-Teen School.

Both explore elite school settings and the divide between rich students and outsiders.
Each story involves bullying, manipulation, and survival themes.
Characters are morally ambiguous, driven by ambition and desperation.
Despite being youth?centered, both lean toward dark tones rather than lighthearted school life.

This is a second season to first season which was mainly about....
