This wasn't a good show. The acting wasn't good, the writing was even worse, and there's not one likable person in the show. Granted, I don't even care if most of the characters aren't likable, at least make them entertaining. The FL is beyond stupid and the decisions she makes throughout the show frustrated me so much. When she started getting blackmailed, I was rooting for the blackmailer. That's how stupid she was.Baek Je Na has potential to be interesting but she wasn't really giving anything at all. Every time she was on screen, she literally had like two facial expressions. But her backstory is the most interesting thing about her character so far.
There's not one likable person in this show. Everyone is either mean for no reason or beyond stupid. Not one character is written well and the mystery takes a back seat to focus on how stupid and desperate Kim Hye In is for money. She spends a good chunk of the show complaining about how bad her life is and how much she hates being poor. In the beginning, they did have her work but once getting accepted into the school, she starts doing things just to get money (including changing in front of a perv boy). I don't mind a power hungry character but the way she's written is so bad that it doesn't seem like she even has a brain. It also doesn't help that the actress isn't a strong actress either.
A show like this should be easy to write. Rich kids behaving badly, murder/mystery, and some romance. With a show like this, all you have to do is write well written characters and have characters that even if they aren't the most likable, you still want them to win. I can give or take the acting since strong writing matters more to me. Instead, we got this poorly written and acted show.
Despite not enjoying the show, I did thought the plot twist at the end was kinda interesting. Since it's not a long show and since I love to torture myself, I'm going to give Season 2 a chance but I'm in no rush to watch it.

Freshness
I just finished this series, and I must say I really enjoyed it. So much so that I spent 5 hours and 50 minutes glued to the screen without distracting me because at each episode I was getting more and more immersed, I couldn’t wait for the next.This Drama is fresh. It reminds me a little bit of Élite Spanish series but doesn't stand up to comparison with Bitch and Rich because there are fewer scenes of excess alcohol and no sex scenes especially not at the excessive level of Western production.This is due to the modesty of Korean film production. A side that I appreciate more and I don’t think I’m the only one by now I think many people like watching series, movies korean for that sense of naivety, modesty and authenticity.

way to slow for my liking
Me personally I feel like even the episode structure it being 10 episodes, 30 min each ep is too long, like in the middle of the k drama at ep 4 is when the actual plot as to when she sees a girl being killed taking place 🤦♀️ like I felt like the first 4 episodes were just fillers to make up the 10 ep as a way to push the actual plot to the end instead of filling the last episodes to make it boring. but it already lost me at first anyway....the only whole point of those 4 ep was to portray and establish the main character hye in's personality.....and those girls who were gossiping and being rude to her at her old school because of her faking being rich by borrowing the identity of a she was tutoring.....I was on their side...it made me dislike the FL due to her pride not wanting to admit she was wrong, but it just makes you think how actually, to a certain extent she is relatable....in the sense of being blinded be greed, fantasising the life of being rich. but all for this for 4 episodes....really? 2 episodes would've been enough🤧. I'm on episode 6 now and right now the actual plot PLOT has started and there's 4 episodes left so...there won't be much dragging to be honest.....this could've been shorten to like a 7 episode k drama, each ep being an hour long...as that's the only format length that I've seen that would be suitable for this k dramaWas this review helpful to you?
Bad Blood & Black Cards: Bitch X Rich
There were many things about this K-drama that I really enjoyed, but just as many that left me disappointed.The acting and cast were perfect — they kept me watching even when the storyline itself didn’t fully satisfy me. The performances were also supported by sound effects that I found to be spot on for the different moments: suspense, satisfaction, realization, and everything else this K-drama has to offer.
The mystery’s resolution was intricate yet simple. I’d call it a plot twist that some people might find disappointing. Personally, I found it fairly satisfying, but I respect and understand the perspective of those who feel otherwise.
I’m rooting for season 2 to have a more developed romantic storyline, especially exploring those that were left unresolved — though I’m a bit disappointed that Lee So Mang won’t be part of the next season.
I have high expectations for season 2. I believe it will incorporate many more genres compared to this season.
I’m giving this K-drama an 8 out of 10 because, despite some narrative flaws, it delivered a highly engaging and emotionally resonant experience. The acting was top-notch — every character felt real and well-portrayed. The sound design also stood out, perfectly complementing the mood of each scene.
What held the show back from a higher score was the pacing and underdeveloped subplots, particularly in the romantic arcs, which I hope will be explored more deeply in Season 2.
Overall, it’s a well-crafted drama that had a strong emotional impact, and it left me genuinely excited for what’s to come next.

soooooo cringy and irritating at first glance
I really tried to bite through this one, I didn't like the first season that much, but I kept going because it left us on a cliffhanger. I'd say that the actors and the actresses did their job excellently and left us with so much irritation towards them which I think is quite well done. Although this drama is based off of a quite dumb narrative in my opinion, going that much trouble just to get "rich" is insanity of work.Was this review helpful to you?
Welcome to Cheongdam International High School
I’m officially back in my crime thriller era, and Bitch X Rich reminded me exactly why I love this genre so much. The premise hooked me almost immediately, and despite being a fairly short drama, it packs a surprising amount of mystery, suspense, and twists into every episode. It kept me guessing the entire time, and I genuinely didn't see some of the reveals coming.What I enjoyed most is how the characters live in that beautiful gray area I always gravitate toward. Nobody is purely good or purely evil. The protagonist isn't your typical goody two-shoes. She makes questionable decisions, gets messy, and somehow you still find yourself rooting for her. The antagonist, despite being an absolute menace, isn't reduced to just being "the bad guy." You slowly realize there's more beneath the surface, and that moral ambiguity makes the story so much more engaging. Half the fun was constantly asking myself, "Are they an ally... or are they about to stab someone in the back?"
For such a compact series, Bitch X Rich never felt rushed. It managed to juggle multiple twists, shifting loyalties, and layered characters without losing momentum. If you're into crime thrillers where everyone's motives are questionable and every episode leaves you second-guessing your theories, this is definitely one I'd recommend.

Bitch x Rich
Well rating this high (7/10) is for sure an unpopular opinion.To be honest I have watched because of Yeri, but I had a good time watching this, there is not many episodes, they are short. It is typical drama about school bullying and stereotypes about rich kids. Still worth giving a chance if you not start watching with negative opinion.Spoiler or not - open ending, there are also rumours about season 2, we will see if it turns out true. Actually it really deserves second season cause there are few unanswered questions.

so i binge watched it cuz mini series and i was very excited to watch the series cuz i love thrillers. this started well and was going well too and even paced up a bit in the last few episodes but it ended with a cliffhanger and rhat was my last straw.
and i have to say it yeri's acting is not that good (ofc nobody is perfect and given she is just starting her acting career she has so much room for improvement and i would love to be on the same journey with her)
the drama was very fast paced and i shouldve known it ends on a cliffhanger that was my res flag but i ignored my red flag but still the thriller was good so ill hope the next season is just as good if not better than this ine cuz i really wanna know what happens next. (if they dont do a season 2 im suing)
ps - lee so mang is my new loml.

?keep watching till you reach the end of the story
How do I like this story?It is necessary to see that when you see, do you feel that you are diving without any hindrance or not?
If you ask me I can say without hesitation I loved it and also the soundtrack music is amazing.
Soundtrack music is the heart of the TV series.
"Crystal" by Kris and "Dit it Myself" by Kid Milly bring the entire sequence of episodes to life.
Following are few lines that came to my mind while listening to music while watching the series.
--Kid Milli - Did It Myself | Bitch X Rich--
👋 i dream of conquering you
In the day i see life is same
i conspired to defeat you
you lose i win
i have the same pain again
i made your accusation my retribution
i have the same pain again
i blamed fate
i forgot the meaning of life👋
--Kriz - CRYSTAL | Bitch X Rich--
👋They say life is beautiful
Your smile is lovely, people also say this.
Then it all becomes an excuse.
when the heart is lost in love
