Hierarchy (2024)

Good series to pass the time, but empty.

I just watched it, and it feels like I spent about 7 hours watching NOTHING. I would prefer the series to have 16 episodes as usual and everything to be more developed.

I'm starting to understand why dramas don't have second seasons and don't end before the tenth episode.

My feeling is that they didn't have the courage to make this series. It had a promising start, the final hook of the first chapter was simply perfect. But something got lost along the way, and the series looked like one of those Nickelodeon programs for ten-year-olds.

What upset me most was the series' boring attempt to redeem the villain himself. Come on, bro, if you don't want this guy to be the villain, give the villain to another character! He was easily the stupidest in the entire series, but I got the feeling that I didn't watch some parts because out of nowhere FL kept saying over and over that her priority was protecting him??

That was another thing that upset me. FL and SML had no personality. In fact, their "personality" was both of them. SML only served to cry for FL and to beat the other characters. Fl only served to cry, defend SML for any reason even though he didn't deserve it, and stroke something in his ego with ML.

ML, in turn, forgot about his revenge for about 4~5 episodes. And at the end there was that post-credits scene, which didn't leave much to be understood.

What I think would be correct: FL understands that she is emotionally dependent on SML, and not in love with him. Understand that she likes ML. End.

I'm not even going to talk about the secondary characters, for me the killer was the worst possible choice. It was better to leave the mystery. It was as if they chose the least interesting character in the series to discard for the next season.

If next season, or part two, happens, I hope they reevaluate this season's lack of courage.

So infuriatingly mid

It reminded me of HBO's The Idol in that it looks stunning - of course it does, it's the same director who did Alchemy of Souls S2 - but there was no substance beyond that.

My biggest issue is with the plot. It was a mess. Period. I was so confused watching this, not knowing what the point of it all was. Our main character Kang Ha gets introduced as a cunning guy with a plan for revenge, but what does he even accomplish in the 7 veryyy long episodes of this show? Pine for some girl who may or may not have been involved in the murder of his brother. He keeps talking about how he's going to change things and expose the people at the school, but he does no investigation - no nothing. He conveniently gets all the evidence handed to him on a silver platter by another person and is then credited as the genius behind the whole thing. HE DID NOTHING!!! It makes me mad. He had so much potential, because it really did seem like he had a some kind of plan in episode 1.

The acting definitely left something to be desired. Go girl give us nothing. Jae Yi was mysterious and intriguing in the first episodes but it got tiresome very quickly. She is pretty. I really didn't get much else from her character. It's a shame, because her backstory and all she's gone through is really interesting, but all she does is just stand there. Yoon He Ra was a joy to watch, because the actress was acting her boots off. She's also the only person with some semblance of character growth (slay h&m fashion queen).

The tension felt so artificial with the whole: "I have a bow and I'm ready to release the arrow" "I'll stand ind front of him and take the arrow" - like cmon I couldn't take it seriously, because NOTHING HAD HAPPENED FOR SEVEREL EPISDOES WHILE THIS DUDE JUST KEPT MAKING EMPTY THREATHS. and it wasn't even his "bow"??? dude did nothing this entire show.
