Annie Oct 29 2024 8:28 pm This could've been good if they pulled a Revenge of others, anyways hope they make a sequel where Nara and Seah can reunite, hopefully they have an affair this time ngl

kaito Oct 29 2024 2:23 pm I hate relationships where couples dont communicate. 1st episode, chaebol girl ghosts then breaks up with chaebol bf and when asked why, she just said "you dont need a reason to like or dislike someone"—while that could be true in some cases (i found some people in my life just naturally offputting and i cant figure out why they make me feel that way), she's clearly angry at him so it's not for no reason; just communicate! so there's closure and you can both move on.

Also, I hate the cliché of men being so submissive to the women they like in these kdramas. i know it must be a fantasy for some to have beautiful slaves who are so infatuated, they will do absolutely anything for you, but oftentimes such characters just seem stupid, weak-minded, and instead of looking like strong protectors of the weak, they just look more like a collared guard dog of one b*tch.

Most of these "hero" type male characters are often portrayed as nice but they're only nice to their love interest because irl a lot of women are overly jealous and these shallow women dont want a genuinely good person who's good to everyone, they want an asshole who's only nice to them. Like, there are shallow women who would fight their partner for holding the door for others. So the fake nice or nice-only-to-their-target male characters are so prolific in inferior kdramas because they're the fantasy of shallow women.

Yu Sep 17 2024 11:41 am The acting of all the actors just really bad. Even the FL had same expression all the time, so boring.

James nesbit Aug 13 2024 5:10 am The series seemed to be great on the surface but it really dropped off by about the 4th episode. Also, why did the writers make Ms. Han, the teacher that was having an affair with a minor so damn stupid? And by that I don't mean that technically she is raping a minor, as "Lee Won Joo" is still a kid. No, I meant when she found the hidden pen camera and discovered there is evidence that she caused the accident - why the hell did she keep it?? I mean, if I found incriminating evidence of a crime I committed, the first thing I would do is destroy it. Furthermore, despite the fact that she was having an affair with a chaeboi kid, deep down she knew their relationship wouldn't go anywhere, so why the hell did you trust Lee Won Ju??? Dumb writing, that's why! I agree with a few of the comments posted here, it was a waste of time!

HoneyB Aug 12 2024 5:08 am Why the pregnancy test look like Covid test kit??? ??????

Sonia Aug 09 2024 1:19 pm I can't actually articulate what a waste of time this show was. The plot started out as promising, but quickly dropped to unwatchable. The FL had the same expression throughout the 7 episodes, and the attempt at acting heartbroken by the ML was laughable. The revenge was halfhearted after he fell for a girl and instead switched to protecting her? Seriously?

Julie Aug 01 2024 11:22 pm The revenge was disappointing and flat. Me thinking it’s another revenge kdrama and it’s like redemption storylines

Lalala Jul 14 2024 10:46 pm RJE's acting is really bad but honestly both LCM and KJW acting are equally bad too.. They are competing for the worst acting in this drama

The only good acting is the FL's female friend, she carried the whole drama on her back

azedogawa Jul 13 2024 7:47 am I only watch this bcoz of Roh Jeong eui... I love her at 18again..she is more beautiful in there

Ginny E Jul 03 2024 9:00 pm Loved this. Wonderful actors, played their parts so well!

Kept my interest all the time.

I would like it to continue. Another season please!

Thank you!

shhaanr Jul 02 2024 8:45 pm this series is damn stupid. the storyline is so messed up! script and acting is very bad. there is so much potential but endup disappointing.

It's me NIWA Jul 01 2024 3:11 pm The story is very interesting to me. I think it needs another season 2. I also want to know about their adult lives. Like their jobs, teacher H's fate, how will he be free and all

spaghettimuncher78 Jul 01 2024 2:37 pm this drama must be one of the worst shows i have ever watched, and the bad reviews in the comments are 100% right.

1. the so-called ,,revenge" kang ha wanted to get (chanmi wannabe?) kang ha's formula of getting revenge is upside down, i think. how can you forget what your brother, Twin brother, had to experience in Jooshin, and then let him down and go after a girl who someone else is in love with? the love triangle was literally SO unnecessary and they could've sticked with ri-an + jae-i. the way he was so dumb even ju-won had to remind him what his goal was at Jooshin, and that Someone Else had to do it for him. you should expose the killer, not him-- idk what the writers were thinking when they thought of this??

2. bad acting i tried to inhale my laugh as ri-an comforted jae-i when talking about her pregnancy. i did not shed a tear at all. and that's what people do when they see good acting. it felt like they were forced to stand there and had the same expression 24/7 throughout the show, it was annoying to look at. hera and woojin carried the acting on their backs, and these actors should get some lessons asap

3. extra points for eunbin and hera as she is my CLC bias. 3/10. wasted actors

OmgSeason2 Jun 26 2024 9:46 pm Please do not compare this to your typical Korean HS Drama, I think this is based on Elite(Netflix) that's why the scenes are over the top and the plot is very confusing.

Jenny Jun 25 2024 2:01 am Unlike “Black dog” and “Melancholia” which provided a believable and informative picture of the school system in South Korea, “Hierarchy” is a fanciful depiction of a fictional school in which entitled teenagers exhibit sociopathic behavior towards less fortunate students while pretending to be adults. I wonder what the screenwriter was thinking when he put pen to paper. Thankfully, there are only 7 episodes.

Alok Jun 25 2024 12:08 am Too many things has gone bad for this drama: 1. Messy writing 2. Unnecessary Love triangle 3. the biggest letdown is Acting (Lee Chae-Min can't act for sure, Roh Jeong-Eui is good actress but her acting is also very flat & dull in this drama, some of them did very overacting & few of them were doing good like Choi Won-Young & Yoon Se-Ah but they have been given very little screen space) 4. It's a revenge drama so story should have been intense focusing on revenge but it lost track & Ending is not satisfactory at all.

CritiQueen Jun 24 2024 12:22 pm FR the writer needs to attend seminars on writing revenge plot dramas. What revenge are they talking about? And why should jae i and ri an feel sorry to kang ha's lost. Ri an didn't even instigate the bullying, so why should jae i take all the damage? Very messy plot, they could have just stick with jae i and ri an's love story

Karrin Jun 24 2024 12:13 pm The drama is so interesting I love every bit of it that please we want season 2as soon as possible

cao Jun 22 2024 1:37 pm I do agree to other comments tho. It was the writers FR. The cinematography, cast, the settings and vibes at most?!? But it was ruined by the plot, script and all…

cao Jun 22 2024 1:29 pm Honestly, I had a lot of fun watching it because of the romance thingy (unfortunately?) but in serious note, the plot is reaaaally confusing.

First of all, Kang Ha is confusing about his intent being at that school. For revenge? He doesn’t show the grief I was expecting and he kinda played with a savior complex personality, but for what? BFR

He does stay as he said to become the first scholar student to graduate at that school, but it was really clear from EP1 that he only wants to know who killed his brother. And after all of that he just stays on that school? ?

A lot of questionable scenes to be honest that I can’t explain further.

Besides the revenge part, I think this series also highlights social class problems and inequalities. (I mean it’s stated on the title tho but I think no one in the comments mentioned about this)

Hmingi Jun 22 2024 7:11 am I hate Kang Ha he has such an annoying character

Annonymous Jun 22 2024 5:44 am First: I would rate this show like a 6.5/10 Reason: Because it could’ve been more developed. I felt like it was too rushed and something was lacking a bit and i’m not talking about the acting. It was as if the writers and producers just decided to drop things like around episode 3? And was just trying to scramble a bit to see how to tie everything together since they made the show only 7eps. It felt like they tried to squeeze like a 12-14ep show into 7eps. It would’ve been nice to get more background on everyone, including the parents and siblings of the main characters. This felt more like a web drama versus an actual drama. Opinion on the cast & their performances: I will say that based on these comments, it seems as though everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of bashing and just being hateful. Like i don’t think those who are bashing the actors and actresses acting skills are not taking into consideration that all but one of the main cast (that are young faces) are just starting out in their careers. And if they looked at their filmography credits, it shows they are still at the beginning of their careers. So it may take time for them to improve. So for them being new and fresh, i’d say they did a pretty great job with the little experience they have compared to those who have been in the field for a while. And for the one actress who played jae-i who actually has a long list of credits, i think yes, her performance could’ve been better. But i’ve seen her in other projects and she does pretty well. Now i think the performances of the actors and actresses shouldn’t be solely judged based on the actors or actresses themselves. People need to start taking into account that maybe it could’ve been the director, producers and writers that also played a role in the performances as well as they are the ones who have the vision and direction in mind of what they are trying to convey. I just say all this because y’all are having way too high of expectations for the actors and actresses when a majority of them are still fresh and new to the industry. So some may not be season and phenomenal right out the gate as they also need to gain more experience to fine tune their skills. Not everyone is perfect or phenomenal right when they start out on anything, even the most talented people. So give the actors and actresses a break. We should be encouraging them to try to improve on their skills. Not insult them and make them feel like they shouldn’t do what i’m sure they wanted to do, finally get to do and enjoy. I say good luck, best of wishes to the cast in their next projects and hope for their success in their careers as actors and actresses. Because acting is not easy.

Coffeemilktea Jun 22 2024 1:50 am This drama could have been great. The concept is good but the storyline was a mess. I was confused with what the plot should be. Where's the revenge? The supposedly plot was squeezed into 1 episode. Jae-I would have been good if only she didn't stuck herself into an obvious red flag guy. Well, out of all them, Kang Ha is the only one with the best role here and had the best acting.

Nimi Jun 21 2024 5:30 pm This drama is actually interesting and I loved every bit of it,wonder why people are saying otherwise A 7/10 for me Good actors Good storyline Good outfits

Mimin Jun 20 2024 9:02 am Drama was just meh. I haven't been watching dramas recently, so the cast members seem like fresh new faces. Is it just me or does Kang Ha look like Lee Dong Wook, Ri An look like Park Seo Joon, and Yun Seok look like Kim Woo Bin? Woo Jin looks like a familiar face too...

Laddoo Jun 16 2024 11:44 am i couldn’t even finished the first episode and didn’t have any courage to watch their shitty acted??☠️

LB Jun 15 2024 8:27 pm ! SPOILER !

The ending was just unnecessary in my opinion. They could have ended it at a „wholesome“ point, with them showing the consequences or like 5 years later and that. Shorten the season but teasing for a second doesn’t even make sense. It should have ended there, cause what do you even fighting for now, after exposing everything? He found the murderer and still wants his revenge after that … like why forcing another scenario at the end?

Over all without the irritating ending, I sonst find the acting that bad as well as the drama, it was okay.

Kedibone Jun 15 2024 4:50 pm This forms part of my top 5 Korean dramas like??I loved the entire series,the music drove crazy ,the characters were also on point.I adored how close Ri-an ,Jae-I ,He-ra and the other guy were and how the story line exposed how bullying and being rich can lead to such events.I kept on screaming whenever Ri-an got possessive ,that drove me crazy as well,im a hopeless romantic.Man this was nice ,only if it wasn't limited.

Oh dear..... Jun 15 2024 2:10 pm Usually, I'm not too fussy about the weirdness of kdramas I watch. proven from it takes me 6 episodes to finally go here and check the comments section. I am sharing some of thoughts here:

1. Weird storyline. At first, i thought "ah.. this seems interesting". But then as i keep on watching, i can't help but feel especially irritated to kang ha and jae i. Like, what the frick bro?? You came there to avenge your dead twin brother, but the heck you fell in love (and trying everything to protect) with jae i instead?? Bro? You literally only met her several times. Tf bro gets blinded by love so easily and forgot about his real motive. Bro is playing hero just get "I will listen to you and protect what i love" and "If rian got destroyed, i am too. I will shield him" sheet. Bro. Wtf. I wanted to slap him so bad.

2. Bad acting and my review on the characters. As i said before, i don't really fuss about korean dramas I watch and so i don't really pay much attention to the acting, even if others says "xx acting is really bad", sometimes i don't feel it. BUT. Even I, being like that, have felt that the acting in this drama is really bad. I just frowned during the supposed to be heartwarming scene when rian confronted jae I about her pregnancy. I just frowned when they cried and rian apologized. He sounds like he's just reading script and not really "saying" it. When i watch dramas, i cry easily when the characters cry too.

For Jae I, i don't know if it's her acting or just the blandness of her character, she's really annoying lol. I watched her in our beloved summer and 18 again, she's not that bad actually. It's just her character deserved to get a smack in the face along with kang ha too. Rian is just a sad boy hopeless romantic that tries so hard to be the "school bigass bully" but fails miserably. He didn't deserve a smack but just to let go from the role, and find other suitable role.

No comment on Woo Jin's character as he's too passive.

I personally think Hera is the best character in this drama. She's the only one with emotion, functioning logic, and while she's the "bad guy", she still has her conscience (she got mad at jae I's brother instead of supporting him, and then felt bad for Jae i). Her attitude towards jae I is also understandable, as jae I is cold and stiff like a rock to her, her bestfriend!! Even kang ha knows more about jae i, compared to hera, her childhood bestfriend. SMH.

-----

I am on the end of episode 6.. I don't feel like wanting to continue watching but i only have 1 episode left till the end.... reading others' review doesn't help too.. I don't have much hope left for this drama..

Also, can anyone tell me what are the westernization?

Yanz Jun 15 2024 10:20 am the story is ok.. kang ha's acting is indeed the best.. like he is the leading character but can't wait.. there must be a second series.. kang ha will attack and fight Rian.. because of his brother and because he wants jea i

Koreanzombie Jun 14 2024 11:14 am Imma say, this is the lowkey version of Elite(Netflix). There might be a season 2 which I look forward to it.

OmgSeason2 Jun 14 2024 5:30 am I guess there will be season 2? I also think this is like the South Korean version of Elite with less mature scenes I guess since South Korea is a "conservative" country.

Mayou Jun 13 2024 11:57 pm Honestly I got hooked for first 2 episodes, then it got worse and worse. If this show have been for about 16ep with more expansive storyline based on revenge etc., it would be great I guess. However making it only 7 episodes was the worst idea, because of that nothing make sense to me, it felt so rushed and so on the plot became dumb

hew Jun 13 2024 6:43 pm Its the way i forgot LCM is the ML xD when i said ML, i meant the actor playing Rian. In short, i just feel like the dudes could use some acting training because its gonna be a waste of their visual otherwise. But oh well i still blame the writing :p fighting everyone!

nave Jun 13 2024 12:58 pm also haera (best friend) was the only decent actor, and actually good at playing the chaebol. and i think the writer was making them do quite a bunch of pointless things. female lead dumped one for the other, gets back with the ex, then dumps him again for the new one?? all while her best friend haera seduces her ex, and the ex just simply continues to befriend her knowing she keeps trying to separate them. lmao save your time it makes absolutely no sense.

nave Jun 13 2024 12:51 pm poor acting from the start, the female lead was extremely boring and her face was so uncomfortable, the only good thing here is the proportion of attractive male:female actors but it’s basically made for teenagers. wouldn’t get passed the 3rd episode.

Breadji Jun 13 2024 10:14 am This show had a lot of wasted potential. Like they said that this show would be about revenge but really wasn’t.. and it didn’t seem like Kang Ha was the main character because the show was just focusing on Jae-i and she always had the same expression I give the show a 7/10 what a waste of a huge budget :/

Nellee Jun 13 2024 8:07 am Honestly I was hooked from the first episode but then it really started to decline from there. It took them 6 epispdes to get to the actual "revenge" and it was such an anticlimactic ending. The characters were pretty bland tbh and everything was rushed by episode 7. The "plot twist" signaled a second season but I'm not sure if I'm really looking forward to it as much. 6/10

Scarlett Jun 12 2024 10:43 am All the actors, especially RJE, have poor acting skills. Only Lee Chae Min carried the entire series.

JACKIE Jun 12 2024 3:20 am It's a good drama. You just don't get what's the writer really want to portray. LOL

LJ Jun 12 2024 2:28 am Watch for the hot guys. That's basically the only reason. There's so many other K-dramas with the same plot, but done so much better.

Bee Jun 12 2024 1:59 am I was skeptical about this drama when i saw the trailer on Netflix because of the way it looked so American, and because i dsliked Mask Girl from Netflix but i decided to give it a try. I'll give it an 8/10 because i basically binged the show, i liked the fact that I saw fresh faces and they delivered their roles especially He-Ra and Ri-An, they delivered as well eery other person, Ki-Young ate as well. I was not satisfied with the revenge but i was so surprised at the twist of who the killer really was in the end.

I was hoping the ML would maintain his cause because 'if you stare into the abyss, it stares right back at you'. Glad he got justice but it was not as brutal as I had expected.

I look forward to seeing more of Ri-An, He-Ra and Kang Ha in more dramas.

Lani Jun 12 2024 1:31 am This was actually good but overall just confusions hard to watch. I love all the characters but jaei not being able to choose one or the other was wild. How she break up with her ex, go to a new one who weirdly but obviously had feelings for her and then leave him for the ex After making everything public. It seemed like she didn’t know what to choose and I couldn’t stand it. I was rooting for her and kang ha to get together cause that would be epic but nope, she went back to her ex just to leave him in the end. She was so confusing. And then her little brother, what was his purpose?? If he wanted to blackmail her he could’ve easily published it himself to get money and pribalem solved. He sent that around and got mad when other ppl would turn on him or wouldn’t do his dirty work. Let’s not forget about jaei’s little friend hera. I loved her acting and character and I can understand why she didn’t want to let go of her friend but even then, why would you go through all that trouble and let things get so bad and only go back to being friends Afterit’s decided she’s gonna leave. And then the teacher? What was her purpose?? Why would she fall in love with a student. As the teacher you would think she had the upper hand but actually falling in love with ur student and loosing ur mind over him is wild. I was actually hoping that hers and him would have that typical love triangle. Where the lead actor likes the main actor but the main actor doesn’t . I felt bad for her trying to get someone she couldn’t but let’s be realistic here, liking someone since you were six and it being years after is so odd in a sense ????. And how did rian’s mother get the video and send it to him?? Like I Dont get that. And then everything is so confusing and misleading and not in the good way. I finished this within a day but with multiple stops and interventions. I understand things don’t have to be clear when working on a script but this was far too complicated to even understand it made me frustrated to say the least. Nothing makes sense and I won’t lie when I say they’ve aced the whole “not like other kdramas” thing but overall the confusion doesn’t make it enjoyable. And I forgot to mention but kang in Han?? What was his purpose.. like it started off so good, So good then ended really weirdly. + the whole “revenge” he joined cause he was curious on who would’ve killed his brother right? Then why did he go through such lengths to do so.. then him not thinking things clearly made things even worse how u wanna protect the little girl you like but already gathered up a gang?? The ending I don’t get either. A random student was killed and it was blamed on rían? Are we gonna get different seasons on them taking down each one? That would be really interesting but if that’s the case they shouldn’t make it so far apart.

Isaki Jun 12 2024 12:31 am Bro? It's great but the twist at the end .. could be much enormous more better. Hm

Hari_yike～♡ Jun 11 2024 6:40 pm Over hyped!! I stopped write from 1st episode coz it was just not it

Roni Jun 11 2024 6:13 pm Not a fan of this one. It was confusing and all around poorly scripted. I never understood the lead female…I wanted to feed her she was so frail looking. Her smile wasn’t genuine and overall I just couldn’t get into it. The male lead was cute but I just didn’t get how he was so in love with someone he kissed once. Strange show. They could have left this one on the bottom shelf. Sorry Netflix…not a winner for me.

anie Jun 11 2024 11:47 am I don't quite understand the plot of this series and the purpose of every character is confusing. The kind of vengeance or the truth that I been waiting is not exciting at all. I finished watching this series hoping that the story gets better but nothing I was dissapointed not only to the story but to the young actors as well however I think chae-min and hye-won did it better.

Ema Jun 11 2024 10:27 am The acting of jeong eui and jae won is So Bad. I couldn’t even immerse in the drama because of their coldness. I was expecting more since they are the “leads”?!! Even hye won and won jung act better when they are not the main couple… i felt like hye won carried the drama on her back. Such a waste of time actually. I continued watching until the end just out of curiosity tbh.

Hyewon Jun 11 2024 8:54 am Those rich kids did not look like rich kids lol. I stopped at ep 2.

Heeza Jun 10 2024 7:23 pm This drama is trying to copy gossip girl so bad, rich kids with lots of scandal. ??‍♀️ the story line is okay but the main actors are too stiff.

Jan Jun 10 2024 5:57 pm I think the show was not that bad but I thought Jae-i will get with Han cuz i felt some chemistry but let me down when she got with the other guy.

Y_nnep Jun 10 2024 5:11 pm I was bored by the female lead to death. That I had to forward her lines the last 2 episodes. Bad acting. And not a chaebol material, the best friend looks much better.

zuzu Jun 10 2024 2:38 pm I’ll be honest, it was not a good show however I think people are wrong in saying that nothing changed towards the end because the actual killer did get arrested and the principal who condoned the bullying was fired and the main bully somehow showed remorse¿ but the problem was the execution of this show. The writing just seemed lazy and I couldn’t feel Kang ha’s dying urge for his revenge like the show and the acting just felt quite empty and I’m sure a lot of you agree as well. This would have been a decent show if it was more revenge focused than westernised visuals and romance.

Daniel Jun 10 2024 8:20 am Had high expectations and wasn't let down. I thought there'd be more revenge and less romance but it made sense as the story unfolded. The acting was amazing. I'd rate it 9/10

Haruharu Jun 10 2024 6:20 am I'm sorry but this is one of the worst series I've ever watched

Vangie Jun 10 2024 5:01 am The drama started with great potentials, then it went to a direction that's so meh. I was so confused what happened. What exactly was the intention of the writer?

berry.bunny Jun 10 2024 2:22 am I was anticipating this kdrama so much.. the plot was meh and the actors need improvement… anyway, the face cards were 0⚬0 !!!!

Kfan Jun 10 2024 1:33 am I just watched it and kept forwarding throughout the drama. It was such a drag, too boring. Don’t understand the point of the story. Just watched it for the sake of watching it. Aesthetics and production of the show was good but the acting was cringey and the story was lame.

Actors were good looking thou. I watched 18 again prior to this and I didn’t even had a clue the female lead was the same actress, i am shook!

tacosity Jun 10 2024 12:08 am Roh Jeong-Eui acting is soooo baddddd

Samunin Jun 09 2024 8:58 pm Watching this kdrama felt like watching "Sky Castle", and turns out it was like a mini-reunion of actors from that drama: Jae-i's dad, Ri-an's mom, and the new principal of Jooshin.

Kyoposan Jun 09 2024 4:13 pm Was really looking forward to this, but I feel like Netflix went overboard with the wealthy class vs the lower class school theme, it's cliché and boring. Maybe as the setting for a drama with some real plot lines, but not as the main story. There's no creativity, no character development, no heartwarming back stories here. Besides Jeong-Eui looking absolutely gorgeous, there's not a lot of reason to watch.

Jamse Jun 09 2024 2:36 pm My take is that this was an engrossing drama with a satisfying end.

Arual Jun 09 2024 11:43 am I finished watching this kdrama last night. It was promising at first, but the storyline just ended up being disappointing. It was so random, they tried to pack in many different topics in just 7 episodes. I don't know how to feel about it ... it was just predictable and cliché.

Solar Jun 09 2024 10:28 am Currently watching ep 1 -5, like hellllooo ??? Where’s the plot ? The storyline was flat since first ep. No intense at all.

Dramamama Jun 09 2024 9:43 am I don’t know but, this drama is lacking of something. I was waiting for some kind of major plot twist. Class of Lies was more thrilling

Sweet Jun 09 2024 6:57 am I enjoyed watching this drama, looking forward to see season 2...

Jimmy Jun 09 2024 5:22 am I think this kdrama is overrated. The idea of making a story like other kdrama genres (school, drama, thriller) is interesting. But sadly, not the plot, which I thought was a mess

Sarah Jun 09 2024 4:56 am I enjoyed watching this drama, looking forward to see season 2. Xoxo

Huu Jun 09 2024 3:57 am Rich casting Poor plot, acting, script, camera movement The only thing that good is the trailer lmao

dee Jun 09 2024 12:40 am Well, I wouldn't say the acting was bad (except for rian, sorry). But the writing was indeed a nightmare. It started good, like the suspense of eps 1 and 2 ending honestly made me watch it further. After that, I couldn't say much about it. Maybe I expect too much cause it reminds me of Elite, especially with Kang Ha and Jae-i went "keeping the other person in check and fall in love in the process" thing, which is very Carla and Samuel.

And yet, it's more like teenagers with much baggage and accidentally has their hands on a murder as side dish. That "Hierarchy" is none.

Fff Jun 08 2024 11:43 pm Rating this drama 2/10. Plot and acting were terrible. The writer is trying so hard to westernize but failed. Please stick to how Korean dramas are usually are or do something better. Don’t copy, be creative.

Unni noona Jun 08 2024 10:35 pm The worst Netflix kdrama. That's it.

Jiyeon Jun 08 2024 9:27 pm The plot is very bad and makes no sense. Rate 2/10

what is this Jun 08 2024 9:13 pm The way the male lead Kangha promised his brother that he would expose all the crimes the killer did but instead had the teacher’s pet do it for him instead and in the end, carry on with their lives like nothing happened??? Only the teacher got punished but what about the bullies??? Who even wrote this mess? Please never write for a drama again.

All was said Jun 08 2024 8:49 pm Like all the previous commenters said, to put in short ,such a waste of money and time. It’s thoroughly disappointing in every possible way.

cailin Jun 08 2024 7:01 pm bro actually wtf was this show, it was so anticipated yet so dissapointing. First off the acting was like C tier it was soo basic and had no depth even in emotional scenes and don't even get me started on jeon ji-a she was so selfish to even ask kang ha to protect ri-an, second of all, why was the show centered around revenge when he barely actually got revenge?? kang ha's character honestly wasn't the right type for a revenge drama, he ended up falling head over heels for someone who didn't mind seeing his brother getting bullied? like the drama had a confusing yet somehow boring and anti-climatic storyline. honestly i don't even understand what the directors were trying to make?? especially when the budget was so high? the cast, settings and special effects were all top tier, but it was sad to see it all go to waste.

Winnie Jun 08 2024 6:55 pm The acting is horrendous and it's just ep1

Maggie Jun 08 2024 5:11 pm This was Not worth the wait

sara Jun 08 2024 3:36 pm The whole time I was watching I was waiting for something to happen until I found myself at the end of the drama

sara Jun 08 2024 3:32 pm This drama was such a waste of time. There was no climax and it was so slow. The plot is just characters talking, talking, and just talking, they are all saying that they will do this and that but they don't do anything. Kang Ha came to revenge his brother but instead he fell so easily for Jae-i for no particular reason and wanted to protect her not knowing anything about her. I don't see Ri-an's role as anything other than just a sick romantic for Jae-i, everything he does in the drama is just for her or because of her. Don't even get me started about Woo-jin and that teacher's disgusting relatshionship. Even when Kang Ha found out his brother's true killer he did nothing to her and just let the police take care of her. I was expecting much much more from him knowing what they did to his brother but instead he just talked about justice. What would he do if Jae-i didn't give him the camera pen she got from Woo-jin?

Quinn Jun 08 2024 1:26 pm LOL high schoolers racing around a track driving million dollar sports cars (in ep1)??? Come on, be for real. This show is such a joke.

Mi mi mi Jun 08 2024 9:34 am I can agree with everyone that the story is confusing in an annoying manner. Till episode 7 I was wondering why all the drama leading to his brothers death.

jayana Jun 08 2024 9:11 am it’s was disappointing but it was a good show to watch if u don’t have anything to watch i feel like the main couple didn’t have anything feelings for each other and i felt like jae-i and kang ha would of been a better couple but other than that the show was mid and i think don’t think it’s the worst show nothing worst than strong girl nam soon the show should’ve been like the kdrama live on but better

Yol Jun 08 2024 8:34 am This is the worst love triangle ever in kdrama history, i don't know who's the male lead here even after finish all episode ? jung jaei is also the worst female lead character ever, she's pregnant but running away to america without telling rian, comeback to korea then falling in love with kang ha, getting back together with rian but running away again after telling kang ha she still has feeling for him, smh ?

RT Jun 08 2024 7:41 am I wait in anticipation even if the storyline or plot is very typical or common. I watch it but it's not giving. I wasted my time. Maybe I expect too much?

Kheydi Jun 08 2024 6:56 am The cast was good but the story is meh. I was looking forward for this show but so boring, dark, and no excitement at all. High school shouldn’t be this boring and dark.

lyhns00 Jun 08 2024 6:54 am The casting was so bad that made the drama not giving. All of them look very awkward acting their parts. The chaebol looks like a scolarship student. Rian has no aura of arrogant chaebol while Kangha is giving the arrogant vibes more than Rian lol. Not to mention all the female casts including JaeI look so stiff like a stick. The emotion just not giving. It's not the plot or storyline could make the whole drama better lol

Shin Seo Rin Jun 08 2024 3:47 am I don't think Lee Chaemin can pull as a scholarship student he has an Chaebol aura i don't get an aura for him to pull as a scholarship student character it's not suit with him.

mimi Jun 08 2024 3:14 am my expectation was so high. i end up very disappointed. there is no climax. so much drama. no character to hate and love. giving 3 out of 10. 3 for the actor effort. the storyline can go down the hill.

wth is this Jun 08 2024 1:37 am such a disapppointment and a wasted drama.

kr_mm_rk Jun 08 2024 12:54 am The drama's trailer looked intriguing, but once the episodes were released, it became tedious and unpleasant to watch. It had great potential, but it was wasted. My expectations was HIGH and all I got is disappointment.

The first three episodes met my expectations, but after that it went off a cliff and clearly focused too much on the romance; I was definitely expecting more, especially for a seven-episode drama.

The budget, the aesthetics, the production, sets and props ate down but the plot was so much predictable.

ths is as bro wtf Jun 08 2024 12:33 am man I was expecting more, what a let down

noh Jun 07 2024 11:47 pm Aside from their stiff acting (except for Hera), idk what the writers were thinking when they put the teacher-student love plot. They don't even have a chemistry ??

carat soup Jun 07 2024 10:15 pm very disappointing I had high expectations for this drama. This did not exceed it. It was a new level of the deepest pits low OK maybe I’m being a little extra, but it wasn’t amazing as a trailer showed but now that we’ll be at the trailer after watching this drama. It was nothing special. I just hyped it up because I thought it would be a bit like elite. it’s a bit similar at certain aspects, but it’s not gonna meet the same standards. Of course I wished I saw more of Hera and Woojin, I wanted to see their connection grow!! I mean woojin had more of a liking to her, but I was wanting to see her start to grow a liking to him, but that’s not what we got. whatever it’s a solid 5/10.

LaLaDi Jun 07 2024 7:31 pm Had high expectations but was disappointed:/ it could’ve been really good especially since it’s only 7 episodes

Arceli Jun 07 2024 5:55 pm I thought I was disappointed at the end but Kangha and Jung Jae I....season 2 please.

Bubbles Jun 07 2024 2:49 pm Spoiler alert *

This drama had potential but the writing and acting just didn’t do anything. There was no revenge at all because the bullies didn’t get any sort of punishment and went back to live their normal lives so what was the point of Kang Ha going to the school in the first place? Jung Jae-I‘s acting was Horrible. She looked so sad and frail the whole time and had no chemistry with the male lead. I was very excited for this but the show let me down.

ewr Jun 07 2024 2:34 pm Worst drama ever, weak actress and poor acting skill. Jung Jae I acting was the worst I ever seen, emotionless, cant act like a rich girl ... Dont watch !

saoiso Jun 07 2024 12:15 pm excuse me but im at episode 3 so far and this drama has zero soul in it, the writing is bland and the director also made some scenes look awkward as hell... the actors are decent but the plot is too generic... zero chemistry in all areas :/ atleast theyre kinda hot.. if you want a drama where you dont need your brain watch this

HierarchyReview Jun 07 2024 11:40 am I was looking forward watching this one just to be disappointed. It so bland. The Chemistry between Jae-I and Ri-an is not there, MC has a bit chemistry with the girl than Ri-an lmao Ri-an character is kinda off, especially when it comes to crying or drama lol

But I still enjoyed watching it....I liked character's like Kang-Ha and Hera, their actor played them very well

Ash Jun 07 2024 10:31 am I’m sorry but this is so predictable. I didn’t see any romance between jae i and kang ha. The chemistry is not there. Even if they try so much to show how they care about one another, I didn’t see it.

Also, the transition of scenes were not smooth. The choice of songs especially.

It’s so sad. I was really looking forward to it.

koleha Jun 07 2024 7:39 am this was the most boring and bland kdrama.? koreans should stop westernising kdramas, literally ruins the originality. it was all glitz and glamour and no plot.

Daniel Jun 07 2024 6:18 am Just finished episode 3 and this show is amazing so far. The writing and acting, great. Ji Hye Won ?

Der May 16 2024 10:57 pm Considering it's Netflix, I would say it might be more similar to Elite than Gossip Girl or The Heirs.

icha May 16 2024 1:03 am i guess this is much closer to korean gossip girls compared to the heirs

gravela Jul 17 2023 10:34 pm the kdrama version of gossip girl??? looking forward to all the young actors' performances in this one since i like theirs in previous respective projects (18 again & our beloved summer, crash course in romance & see you in my 19th life, king the land, sound of magic & my perfect stranger)

Thighwanese Jun 29 2023 10:37 am Ko mi Sook meets Baek Hee Seob again

excited Jun 24 2023 12:33 pm can't wait!! esp now that I've discovered Kim Jae Won. Fighting~?

x Jun 21 2023 3:48 am so basically, Cheongdam International School

Orange Jun 10 2023 5:21 am I feel the Heirs vibe in this one. Heirs. Hierarchy.

Hmmm. Will keep this on my bookmark.

San Vee May 31 2023 1:34 am Its like Boys Over Flower/Heirs, but with the roles reversed. Instead of poor and pitiful girl , its a guy?

Kxkai May 25 2023 6:30 am Wow a chaebol teen drama <3

Sun&Moon May 15 2023 12:09 am Woww I love the cast
