I love this k-drama it truly is a drama, it really despisers how school is because it exposes how school social status functions like a pyramid game, even without the rules being spoken out loud, because people who are popular are always the ones who are "better" in schools and have the power unlike an outcast myoung jaeun, the higher points in the pyramid were aloud to bully the F tier the ones who got not votes in the class voting system. In my opinion baek harin had no rights to create that game her reasoning "I was bullied, you were a bystander." that doesn't give her the right to bully others in her upcoming years, she held a grunge to jaeun just because she was a bystander when they were very young, which young people don't have any cognitive skills. This is the social hierarchy of the world and this show really did an awesome job showing that. And the fact that the school system is messed up, with a not a real teacher, teaching and hitting students because they tried to speak up about their harmful game everyone seemed to have no problem with, even when it was destroying friendships. And I love the way the friendships and alliances shift constantly no one is completely safe or completely evil. Ja-Eun and Soo-Ji’s bond feels real because it develops under pressure, while the higher-ranking students’ constant backstabbing shows that power is fragile. And also the game isn’t just a game like the show is saying even in the title "pyramid game." it’s a mirror of real life. Even without official rules, social hierarchies naturally emerge, showing how humans gravitate toward power and conformity, often at the expense of kindness. I loved the dynamics the character changes, crazy plot twists, high stakes, intense lore, scary fighting, horrible bullying. Just really shows how this world can be. And if you are struggling with something don't try to "overcome it by yourself." you need to talk to a trusted adult. But in the beginning of this show song sooji has many questions and wonders why they are playing the game, and she wants to get rid of the game, since its obviously harming everyone. Then she slowly gets friends that side with her, they overcome hardships and even betraying one time. And eventually they overrule the game, and the game is destroyed, because as baek harin said "this is everyone's game." now we can't do this in real life, destroy the hierarchy but this really shows how life can be with all the struggles, and learning to get help. The fact that in that whole school no teachers were trying to help except one which got kicked out at first, since she backed up sooji by saying it was the camera she placed in the room, when sooji did it because she was desperate to have someone understand their situation and be heard. This show is awesome for someone who likes drama, especially school kdrama, betrayal, hardships, social hierarchy's, emotion, life, school, action, friends, overcoming problems. And I love all of those in a k-drama so I do really think this show was amazing and it was a perfect thing to watch since I watched all 10 eps in 4 days I was very invested showing that I truly was interested in this crazy kdrama, a reflection on the real world.
