Hierarchy

Could have been so much better

It wasn't the best, but it did keep me coming back to see the next episode ... I guess that says something.
I found the series trying to mimic "Boys Over Flowers", but a much darker less satisfying story. I think the main difference between Hierarchy & BOF was the likeability of the characters. With the "Flowers" cast, you could root for and see a good transformation from bad to good with each passing episode. All, with the exception of Ha Kang, no one had any likeable qualities, whether you were watching episode one or seven, it just wasn't there.
Chae Min, who I'm definitely a fan of, did a great job with his performance ... but at times it was a bit difficult watching the rest of the cast blend together. It was a rough road.
Toward the end, there were so many antagonists not getting what they deserved, that was a real turn off ... but like I said, it did keep me coming back to see the next episode. I just wish it could have been a bit better of a conclusion in the final episode.

bad storyline

i think this kdrama will be so glamourous, chic, fancy and something expensive. i understood if some people say an acting so cool! but the storyline really sucks, have many a lot of hole plot but, for properties i like it so much!! the problem in this k drama just BAD STORYLINE, the revenge isn't revenge, OUHHH romantic on this drama really excessive.. like student hs with teacher? not make sense really.. i finished this drama with 2× speed in one day, i just wanna see a pretty girl and handsome boy, so the POINTTTT IS this drama having a great cast but the very bad story line

It was a fun watch, not too complicated

I liked this drama better than the hyped dramas that came this year till now. It starts off slow but picks up pace from the 2nd episode. And after that you just can’t stop watching. The plot keeps you going till the end.
Jae-i had good chemistry with both of the guys but I wanted him to end up with Ri-an and I am happy she kind of did picked him in the end. She was herself with him only and he was also sincere with her. So I am glad that they sorted out the mess and ended on good terms.
I am not sure about kang ha,maybe there should’ve been another female lead for him as love interest bcz Jae-i loved Ri-an and they are more suited for each other.
I liked the rivalry and the ups and downs on their friendship. He-ra was amazing. Loved her character. She was more interesting character than Jae-i. 🫢

Overall I wasn’t as interested in the school bullying thing as it got too toxic but that was the main plot of the show. I was more interested in what was going on between Jae-i, Ri-an, Kang ha and He-ra love square. Overall it was a good watch to complete in one day.

Attitude is everything

There are hard hitting subjects sewn into the fabric of this entertaining High School drama, about the kids of the rich and super rich. The drama is Boys Over Flowers meets Weak Hero Class 1. Personally, I loved it. This school is other worldly in design. The Korean Drama has a high class flashy look and an attitude to match. This was a high octane ride.

Off the bat, there is an Assembly to introduce the new scholarship student, the odd man out in the school for the super rich. These students are so rich that they have car Valets. The drama has smoking music, interesting script, and fantastic cinematography. Young talent showed off their acting skills. All the dots of the story were connected in the end, to set-up things for Season 2.

For those who were waiting for the highly anticipated Korean Drama Hierarchy, it just hit NetFlix. There is a death covered in this Korean Drama.

Same old plot, same old love triangle!

I was so excited for this drama thinking that it will give me something new and different but boy was I wrong.

Plot:
I'm so sorry but the idea of someone getting bullied and killed for trying to be friends with the most popular girl in school is so stupid. The fact that the whole plot is literally the most beautiful girl in the school makes silly decisions or mediocre decisions and some how it effects the whole school. I still don't understand how the ML fell for her. Honestly the whole show was trying to make us feel sorry for the rich students but I couldn't care less. Another thing I found annoying was how useless the ML was. He really had no plans on bringing down the school. His whole talk of getting the highest grade was so useless since we didn't see anything on grade ratings or him studying. I kind of wished he was more overpowered- having more tricks and secrets up his sleeves. Without the principals son, the ML wouldn't have found his brothers killer. And the fact that he can't fight was so anticlimactic - literally getting punched by everyone. Lastly, if you HATE love triangles, Dont watch this. Again the guys only love her because she is different and smiles once in a month. I feel like the love wasn't needed at all especially if you know your mission is to find your brothers killer, I Dont think you should be foliacing with girls.

Set and casting
The cinematography was stunning and the settings, houses and the school will call you broke in seven languages. I loved the cast. They can all act and visuals were on point. Too bad I was bored by the 3rd episode.

Music
One of the worst part of the show. It sounded like tesco Billie eilish. I couldn't tell whether was songs were in English or Korean.

Conclusion
Overall it wasn't bad. It was like every other mediocre rich kids drama but with a big budget. So anticlimactic And will leave you dissatisfied. If you want a movie to watch that is way better than this show with more drama and plot, watch student of the year.

absolutely worth it.

This series dives into the cutthroat world of corporate power struggles with an intricate plot full of twists that kept me hooked from the first episode. The characters are complex and their motivations are slowly revealed, adding depth to the already gripping story. The lead actors' chemistry is intense, and their performances are nothing short of stellar. Visually stunning with its sleek cinematography and high production values, "Hierarchy" also stands out for its sharp writing and perfectly matched soundtrack. If you're into suspenseful dramas with a touch of romance, this one is a must-watch

this drama was iffy

The start of the drama was amazing if felt like the director put time and effort into the first couple episodes however I felt the ending of the whole thing was rushed and they just didn’t have any idea what to do

I hated Ri-an in this drama so much I felt like his character wasn’t it and just wanted Jae-I. I feel like Kang Ha and Jae-I are a better match idk why I just love the rich and poor duo a bit to much …lol.

I’m guessing Jae-I went to her birth mother at the end and I thought that was cute because earlier in the drama she want to go to quite place and guessing it was her mum. Jae-I dad got on my nerves and her brother , like why flim her and treat her like she a nothing to you, Her dad holy he was so annoying like how can to talk Abt your daughter and her birth mum like that. I just want to slap some common sense in him.

i love how they director showed that Kang Ha and Kang in Han like I didn’t even know they were brothers especially fertile twins like wow.

overall this drama could have been better If there is a s2 will defo watch it
