Pyramid Game

the plot line sounds the same and I first thought the Japanese version was the prequel but its actually adapted from manga and the Korean one is from a webtoon.

Similarities:
- Both are psychological dramas
- Involve school bullying
- In a school setting
- Both involve a predatory teacher

- Both fl reveal how evil students can be

Difference:
- Nanno (Girl from Nowhere) is an entity
- Seong Su ji (Pyramid Game) is human
- Girl from Nowhere is a Thai Drama
- Pyramid Game is a South Korean Drama
- Nanno's (Girl from Nowhere) goal is to go around fixing school systems
- Seong Su Ji's (Pyramid Game) goal is to destory the Pyramid Game
- Girl from Nowhere has more fantasy elements
- Pyramid Game is more real life coded

Some of the scenes take place at school
There's a lot of pressure from the parents
The students kinda have to go against each other but some relationships are formed

Similarities:

- In a school setting
- Yuri (Girl from Nowhere) and Ha-rin (Pyramid Game) both hurt innocent people, have a sadistic nature and desire to control people
- Both fl transfer from school to school
- Both fl reveal how evil students can be

Difference:

- Yuri is more prone to hurts innocent people to help with her vengeance
- Baek Ha-rin just hurts innocent people for the fun of it

Both Pyramid Game and The Whirlwind share a common theme of intense competition and strategic planning, where characters often believe they have the upper hand, only to find out that their opponent had a more cunning plan all along. This creates a dynamic where the person who is watching is constantly on edge, thinking the antagonist has won, only to be surprised by a twist.

Unconscious after a car accident, university student Chun Yu and her best friend Qing You mysteriously find themselves inside the dangerous world of a VR game. Several other people have also unwittingly ended up here, and they soon discover they were all involved in the accident - except for substitute teacher Gao Xuan, who claims to have simply fallen asleep. Seeing no other option than to play the game, they eventually beat the level and wake up ... only to immediately return the next night. Faced with deadly monsters, puzzles, and mind games, the players have to learn to cooperate despite being unsure if they can trust each other. The pressure increases when it turns out that people who die in the game fall into a coma in real life. And then several more students are dragged into the game! The group spends their nights trying to survive the next level and their days investigating who is doing this to them and why. As they grow closer, friendships and budding romances are repeatedly put to the test by the stress of the situation and the evil machinations of the people behind the game...

Both about schoool bullying. Both also depict victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. Kang Na Eon was on both shows.

They're both centered around a relationship between two girls and they're both dark high school dramas with plenty of ambiguous characters and some twisted depictions of love. Pyramid Game falls into less harmful stereotypes and Soshite is more explicitly queer but fans of one would enjoy the other

Pyramid game is a drama while the devil’s plan is a variety show
And technically DP was based on the Liars Game, but the alliances, the planning and manipulation are the same
It’d have been fun if PG had side games, but they make it up with the bullying and mind games

- Involves bullying
- A higher ranking/position basically enables them to take advantage of others who rank lower than them.

both dramas talk about bullying in high school, an app to bring people down, and they share an actress
