To be honest, I didn’t watch it with a lot of expectations, and even with the little I had, it still managed to disappoint me. It’s a below-average movie that seems confused about what it wants to convey and where it wants to go. The execution felt all over the place, making it hard to stay engaged. I'm hugely disappointed in both the creators and the actors because, with the premise it had, there was potential to do something much better.
Some even compared it to Exhuma, but sorry to say, it doesn’t even hold 10% of that movie’s impact. It felt hollow and directionless.
This is my honest review after watching Dark Nuns.
Judging by your spelling and word choice you're definitely not someone who has the tiniest bit of clue about anything.…
Oh wow, so because I wrote something quickly without checking, you decided I have no clue about anything? Impressive logic. But hey, instead of hiding behind weak excuses, why don’t you actually counter my points? Tell me why Hierarchy is a good series—convince me. Or is that too much to ask or you don’t have anything to say about ?
And since you're so concerned about spelling, let me refine my writing for you once again—properly, with correct spelling. Don't run away now.
Hierarchy is just a mess—the bullies talking about morality is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The show attempts to explore social status, privilege, and power struggles but ends up being a shallow, surface-level drama with no real impact. In the end, everyone comes out clean, yet their mindset remains unchanged because they never truly face consequences for their actions. There's no real character growth, making the entire journey feel pointless. The screenplay is all over the place, lacking a proper structure to hold the story together. Moments that should have been intense and emotionally charged fall flat due to weak execution. The so-called “thrill” of the drama is diluted by predictable and uninspired storytelling.
> If a drama that claims to address social issues like school violence doesn’t give you anything meaningful back—no resolution, no accountability, no message beyond the usual power struggles—then what’s the point? A show like this should either provide a powerful message or at least showcase how collective effort can challenge and outshine power. Instead, Hierarchy glamorizes the same toxic cycle it pretends to criticize. The acting lacks depth, with most performances feeling robotic rather than engaging. Chemistry? Almost nonexistent—there isn’t a single dynamic that feels compelling or believable.
The show had the potential to be a gripping, thought-provoking drama but instead comes across as mediocre and pathetically weak. It tries too hard to be edgy but fails to provide any substance beyond the usual clichés. Just a below-average experience overall.
There. Now, go ahead—defend the series if you can.
If my mind is functioning correctly, this is the best thing like the best Chinese romance drama i have ever watch.
Initially thought would give it 9.5 but couldn't, as the OSTs stole my heart and made a place in my heart so can't reduce or takeaway anything from it, it's an absolute jam of a drama so it deserves to be 10 🌟
Maybe its not for you..I was also waiting for the same thing for this drama - to get better. And to me, it really…
Yes, it's getting on track in the last two episodes, but you're still not fully understanding why I'm frustrated yet continuing to watch. The drama is unique, and at the same time, it had the potential to explore things on a much larger scale, but it missed the mark.
And how can you defend its editing? There's no need to stretch minor details just to make each scene longer. Let me give you an example: when the female lead throws away the notebook, you've already shown that the male lead is present and watching her do it. So why do you need to show him picking up the notebook in that same place when you're going to show it in his room in the next scene anyway? This kind of unnecessary elongation is a major issue. There are many such instances, and I don't understand why the editor or screenplay writer assumes the audience is dumb. You can't do this—forcing these scenes repeatedly leads nowhere. Instead, the writing needs to be smart and engaging.
The same applies to the editing—why are you dedicating roughly 15 minutes of each new episode to re-showing scenes from the previous episode when we've already seen them? These constant stretches make each one-hour episode feel like it lacks fresh content, and it feels like we're stuck in a loop. In a mystery thriller, the editing should be much sharper and more efficient.
And why the hell is it suddenly not my cup of tea just because my review doesn’t fit your rules? If my opinion doesn’t align with yours, that doesn’t mean the drama isn’t for me—it just means I see its flaws, and I’m pointing them out. And yes last two eps were enjoying but not in it's full potential.
There are some dramas where you genuinely want them to be good. You keep telling yourself, No, it's good, even when certain episodes disappoint you. You hold onto hope that it'll get better in the next episode, almost forcing yourself to like it. But with each passing episode, it just gets worse.
The most frustrating and pathetic thing about The Witch is its editing, screenplay, and direction. The editing is awful, with nearly 15 minutes of every episode wasted on rehashed content from the previous one—unbearable, unnecessary, and weak. The screenplay moves at a tortoise-like pace, overloaded with flashbacks and barely any real progression in the story. The direction is equally lifeless, failing to create any engagement or momentum.
On top of that, there's no clear explanation or proper buildup of how she even became a witch. The story just drags without giving any real answers, making it even more frustrating. I'm so damn exhausted watching this.
It's just mess, the bullies are talking about morality is the funniest things that i have ever watched. And at the end everyone comes clear but with no change of their mindset as they didn't get the punishment for their actions. The screenplay is so out of the place, couldn't hold the story together, it had the potential to be a good show but felt very mediocre and pathetically weak overall. Performance lacks depth and honesty, chemistry is so loose that nothing looked real betn themselves so just below average.
Are you stalking me or what?? No, no, I'm just kidding! 😃😃
About commenting—yeah, I do that sometimes when it's really, really hard to choose which one I should go with first. If the person commenting doesn’t convince me with their words, I just go with my instinct.
Wow I also saw ur comments in hot stove league drama too. U have been commenting here n there. I guess u r new…
No, I'm not new to K-dramas, but I'm definitely new to Namkoong Min's madness world. Such a brilliant performer! How had I not watched any of his works until now? That’s why I binge-watched all his recent ones.😃
For me, the top picks are: 1. My Dearest 2. Hot Stove League 3. The Veil 4. One Dollar Lawyer 5. (Anyone wants to complete the list?)
It's predictable, but I still want it to be insanely intense. It's good, but the intensity somehow lacks in the first episode. Netflix should have acquired or produced it.
Started so well, but it's turning into mediocre bullshit—pathetic performance by side kicks and bad screenplay execution with so many loopholes. Where is the rivalry for which we are seated here?
They keep messing up the last 20-25 minutes with the same routine stuff. Both episodes start well but lose momentum in the second half. Choi Hyun Wook is trying so hard to imitate Park Seo Joon, but it’s tough to match his aura. That said, he's ’s not bad he's a good performer and iit still fun and enjoyable.
Some even compared it to Exhuma, but sorry to say, it doesn’t even hold 10% of that movie’s impact. It felt hollow and directionless.
