Sung Soo-Ji (Bona) is transferred to Baekyeon Girls' High School in Seoul. She begins classes there in grade 2 class 5. On her first day at her new school, she notices her class being generally peaceful, but also a bit weird. She has to participate in a strange vote called the Pyramid Game, where the students in grade 2 class 5 participate. The game is held once a month and it is like a popularity vote, but the student who gets the lowest number of votes gets an "F" and becomes the target of school violence. Sung Soo-Ji gets zero number of votes and becomes the next target. She is bullied by her classmates and nobody seems to care about that in her class. Sung Soo-Ji tries to get out of her predicament and also tries end the Pyramid Game at her school.

Riddhima Apr 12 2024 10:21 pm I seriously thought that he and Bona are going to be in a relationship in Pyramid Game...Their chemistry is vey good on screen>

mikayla Apr 08 2024 8:15 am such a brilliant show with numerous plot twist!! i really really liked song soo ji (bona), myeong ju eun, seo do a and kim da yeon acting. honestly they all acted so well. they fit their character so well and are able to portray the right emotions. bona is so smart in this show and i’m so glad there's a smart person in this type of drama. i really fell for myeong ju eun.. she is so sweet and puppy-like and cant believe shin seul ki acted in here so well?? it made me feel like single's inferno was an act instead... how can her character be so different... woah. baek hae rin did well she really made me dislike her... she was able to portray inner pain so well... the plot is great. 10 episode was a bit long but it was worth watching

mimimomo Mar 30 2024 5:17 pm promising and interesting storyline but executed quite badly. kinda boring and repetitive, nothing memorable. acting was ok, Bona's acting is so monotone like she is always with her same facial expression and always sounds tired. Jang da ah was ok her acting was refreshing, Her smile was so scary, though she has no expression but still better than Bona. Bullying scenes not really that impactful like the glory or other dramas ive watched. but still alright, mediocre drama.

Rule of Rose Mar 28 2024 10:48 am Pyramid games remind me of "Rule of Rose" game, it's an old game that also have rank in an orphan, and the new kid got the lowest rank

Aimen Mar 28 2024 2:20 am One of The Best dramas of this year.....I, a 100% recommend this.....wowwwwwwwwww, what a journey it was....

PANDORA Mar 27 2024 7:44 pm Koreans have been killing it with the manhwa adaptations, the genre of dramas that surround student has been incredible, add this to the list. The acting? Ate. The story will keep you hooked, it was consistent & no plot holes. Nothing over the top & actually realistic in some sense. I love the main characters, Sooji is so calculating yet kind, Jaeeun is like a little black cat so clumsy and sweet, Harin ate the villain role. Everyone involved with the making of this show deserves their flowers. I love that they weren’t afraid to add the hints of girl love. 11/10

Mochi Mar 25 2024 2:39 pm The chemistry between all the leading casts is insane! They portrayed such complex emotions and delicately touched on the interests (platonically and romantically) they have towards each other and emphasising commonality of the same in our society.

Also, to state that being a bystander is just as bad as advocating or participating in bullying activities, while not devaluing the fact that fear and survival instincts are what direct people. This is such a beautifully made drama, and there is a sweet brush of silliness, humor, friendship, and simple heart flutters to keep the audience fully engaged.

Xu Mar 25 2024 6:13 am I just finished watching this drama, the story in this drama is very interesting and i hope there is another season 2

Ji Mar 25 2024 4:20 am So it finally ends. It was such an enjoyable drama. It also raises awareness about being a bystander in a school bullying doesn't make you innocent. Kudos for actors and crew who put together this good piece.

Some things of course can still be improved, like we're shown how dangerous Harin is in the eyes of others. But when the curtain's lifted, she's not that dangerous. Almost feels like she was bluffing the whole time.

Oh, and I also hope there wouldn't be a season 2. It'll only show that we can't escape from bullying. One's gone, there'll be another.

rian Mar 24 2024 11:39 am One of the best korean drama so far. I’m not sure why some of you did not like it and found the first few episode boring because on the contrary I found the story building really effective. Considering that they are only going to air 10 episodes. I don’t have issues with the drama except that I found DoAh’s character not utilized enough but again I think the issue here is the runtime.

The story is really about school violence and how the whole plot of the game is manipulated by the ruling class. I also really found some characters really believable like they really could be just normal people and just so happened to be grouped together in a class. I found the resolution of the story quite effective I just hope they never pushed the Miryo Twins Baek Harin 2.0 agenda cause what was the point of finally winning over the powerful game master if they’re just going to go back in that cycle after the traumatizing event that took place prior to the resolution.

As for acting, every one did a great job. Bona obviously nailed it. I think this is one of her greatest projects yet. Jang Da Ah’s micro expressions were effective in delivering the plot. The bullies especially Hyunjung were phenomenal. I really hated them to my core.

Yeon Mar 24 2024 8:34 am It's bad, the whole drama was bad. Don't waste your time on this.

Hannah Mar 24 2024 3:16 am I watched the first 4 episodes because I had high expectations that it would be similar to Night Has Come, but it was not. It is about bullying, and while each episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, for me, the story is awful. The first 4 episodes are boring and don't make sense. I thought it would be similar to the survival theme of Night Has Come.

Abc Mar 23 2024 4:34 pm Nice drama. Loved the psychological tussle between bona and jang da ah, myung ja eun innocence and even other students were nice in their own way. But would have loved to see downfall of bad adults also.

Hmm Mar 23 2024 3:48 pm Jang da ah and bona both did weak acting. Why bona always breathes out air at end of sentences? She wasn't intolerably bad but not good either. Girl playing myung ja eun gosh her character was bad and super annoying but add to it her wig or extensions that were covering 80pc her face.

Jang da ah's acting was very weak and bland. Firstly her facial muscles don't move. Secondly, when she is angry she gives expressions which little kids give.

Starship got it's leads casted but honestly noone was good enough to main lead level. Maybe starship or jang da ah's family had investe din the show. Last 2 episodes actually were disappointing and very anticlimatic.

Mariaaa28 Mar 23 2024 9:02 am I can't take my mind off something so I'm leaving it here. Jang Da A's micro facial expression is just on top. How do you even move the muscle under your eye? She was so good at that. Anyway, 9.0 for the whole series. Last two episodes didn't really meet my expectations. Still good tho

D's Mar 22 2024 1:06 pm Excellent! I wan't to see how sung soo-ji will overcome the twins. But I think it must end here. Not every cliffhanger ending drama needs season 2. Coz sometimes season 2 ruined the whole story.

Ashley Mar 22 2024 3:22 am The drama was interesting, can't wait to see how the twins will act and how sung soo-ji will overcome this new obstacle as a senior. Baek ha rin din't have that Antagonist feel, I personally think they could have done something better with the character like the Antagonist in The Glory. Overall it was not that bad 8/10

Ashley Mar 22 2024 3:17 am The drama was interesting, can't wait to see how the twins will act and how sung soo-ji will overcome this new obstacle as a senior

geunyangpaen Mar 22 2024 12:43 am please don't add a second season to this. not all good series needs a sequel

Kalatus Mar 21 2024 10:00 pm Jang Gyuri is one of the twinsss!

Willow Mar 21 2024 8:30 pm Does anyone know when the new season is coming up? The one with the twins? I just finished episode 10, so excited for the next season.

Duh Mar 21 2024 5:21 pm Very awful storyline. This adopted girl is controlling school, media, politics, korea's biggest conglomerate's owners her father, mother and grand mom, controls army, their training and using all these resources just to put one girl in F group. This girl has such super natural powers she can actually land on mars by just using force and lift from her farts, no rockets needed.

Juwwol Mar 21 2024 11:57 am I didn't even know that most of the students characters were portrayed by new actresses. They all looks like a pro

song jae hyung Mar 21 2024 9:11 am best drama right now no debate! their acting is very great! need to watch this at least once in a lifetime

Noona Mar 21 2024 9:07 am The drama was just awful in all aspects. Don't waste your time.

Rie Mar 21 2024 6:14 am I personally enjoyed this show sm

Rie Mar 21 2024 6:12 am I guess I wasn't the only one who thought the twins looked like gyuri, I Need To Know Asap

Mimi Mar 21 2024 3:15 am An absurd story about how a high school student can control the school, teachers, parents and even the army? Honestly, this story is good, but too much for a high school kid.

Angelo(gelo) Mar 21 2024 12:48 am I wish it have season 2 its so perfectly nice like the end was so exciting sung soo jii smile at the end like wtf...?im so excited to have season 3

ieiejj Mar 20 2024 11:56 pm The last episode at the very end the “twins” she looks like jang gyuri am i tripping or what? ?

Sow Mar 20 2024 11:52 pm the girl that appeared on the last episode at the end looks like gyuri. Am I Tripping Or What ?? I need answers yall

Sei Mar 19 2024 6:01 am I like the show it is not boring and each episode has plot twist that doesn't make the show boring but is makes the show amazing.im very excited about the episode 9-10 but also kinda sad because after that there will be no more pyramid game episodes I wish they could make a season 2?.

Jij Mar 18 2024 12:02 pm Will there be a 2nd season? Anyone knows?

verl Mar 17 2024 5:55 am What is the absolutely unnecessary hate for this drama here? Looks like we got some haters because some of the girls are related to kpop.

Safe to say, the drama is amazing and the acting is above average too.

jias Mar 15 2024 11:57 am @wesside : How can you say Jaeun is a cool character? I always skip parts because I'm fed up... Jaeun is the biggest loser

There are so many flops in this drama, and the casts like a bunch of losers... the storyline is boring and doesn't make sense

Aus Mar 14 2024 2:37 pm At first, I think this is a great drama with lot of twists. But later, it gradually become boring and the storyline is too slow. All the twists keep repeating with messy story. Honestly it’s not worth the hype except the first few episodes

Hoon Mar 11 2024 3:31 am lol this is a bs drama hahaha God level visuals of female leads but horrible story. Hahaha why dont PDs nowadays dont create dramas with original creation, not basing on webtoons? There are webtoons that should stay as webtoons because it sucks, just like this

Popppy Mar 10 2024 10:34 am @Janee yes i understand to lil extent so do ah knowing that but why so do ah reveals it to harin, wasnt she a nice person or rather why was she scared to do this thing.

Janee Mar 10 2024 10:12 am Remember when soji switch her phone to do ah, i think do ah knew that it is not her phone she hold and it is soji's phone, thats why she gave it to harin and thats the time harin knew about the recordings and maybe Yerim also told her because harin threaten her for the sake of his lover

AJ Mar 10 2024 3:21 am There are 5 class for year 2 not only 1 class. Please watch it carefully. Only their class is separate with other classes due to Harin grandma. She want to give her granddaughter new class building and build it with more modern design that's why she separate their class to different building. The main reason why most grade F just accept all the bullies it that because they agree to the rules when they first play the game and they are afraid of the consequences if they break the rules. But for Ja Eun, it always her the main target of Harin maybe because she did something before and Harin was so mad about that and it is Harin way of revenge. I think this game was created because of Myoung Ja Eun. The webtoon was written so well and the crew did so well by casting all the cast for the roles. They nailed their role so well. Can't wait for the next episode.

Popppy Mar 10 2024 12:59 am When harin tells do ah first time you are being cute what does she mean then she says it again when she gives mobile. Also why did do ah give mobile to ha rin? It was anyways sujis dumb mistake. But again why did do ah betray.

It is always super satisfying to see da yeon getting beaten up, the girl doing the role is justifying it so well that u wont feel ounce of mercy for her. Even if shes beaten badly at home and is controlled by harin, do you jotice she us a vile bully by nature and even when harin tells her not to harass or abuse anyone she still does, she isn't that way due to harin, she is fked up on her own and deserves all those kicks from dad.

Fia Vabellia Mar 09 2024 8:14 pm I love bona, she is really good acting

Prinst Mar 09 2024 8:42 am Love the FL (Sooji/Bona) acting! She is the best cast for Sooji. And surprisingly all the rookie actresses are so good!! I read the webtoon and really excited with the drama, it's not disappointing. Good job!

ssuga Mar 08 2024 5:19 pm Sooji's father is really useless.

cool Mar 08 2024 10:19 am I really hate psychos like Harin. Acting all smart and mysterious meanwhile all she does is use her family's power and influence to force others to do her bidding. When a real smart person shows up, it's very obvious that her previous control is all an illusion. Kudos to the actress though, she's really killing it, because everything about the character infuriates me.

Js Mar 08 2024 12:16 am Strong Protective Suji and Precious Loser Jaeun ??

Ololol Mar 07 2024 5:46 pm @17:38 grandma has world's best teeth, whitest onesm

Weedbroth Mar 07 2024 2:39 pm Today's episodes seem so rushed especially episode 6 but Baek Harin is really psychotic. Her mother calling her a psycho made me laugh really hard.

Abc Mar 07 2024 10:38 am Very intresting like boyhood drama. Can't guess what will happen next. We feel that protagonist won but then again villian will be one step ahead.

Jungwon’s Girl Mar 07 2024 10:35 am I’m curious about Myung Ja Eun and Baek Ha Rin’s history. Like what led to Ha Rin’s hate towards Ja Eun aside from Ha Rin’s psychopathic nature. I also love Sung Soo Ji’s tough and tactical personality. This show is so fun so far!

chng Mar 05 2024 10:12 am Ep 5&6 will be released on March 7th. I think it’s 2 ep every Thursday

straycat Mar 04 2024 4:08 am Does anyone know this drama’s airing schedule for a week? The be dropping 2 eps per week but idk exactly the dates…

Yellowstrat Mar 03 2024 8:01 am Without the bullying, Bona and Ryu Dain is making quite a comedy here

Somili Mar 02 2024 2:55 pm @ Ji, Do ah also reminded me of Choi Yebin’s Jungwon character from night has come. They’re both short haired and reserved, smart, plotting

Chen Shiyu Mar 02 2024 2:53 pm Only 4 eps are out right now but it’s Insanely good oh my God. 11/10 so far. The mind games are CRAZY and the characters are soooooo smart. It’s so well paced and acted too. Fk I need more of this right now Pls Drop All The Eps At Once I Cant Wait Anymore

sayrah Mar 02 2024 1:59 pm this can be a funny thing for me to say but wonyoung's sister look more like wonyoung than wonyoung herself... probably because she lost a lot of weight after izone

Not now Mar 01 2024 5:25 am This drama seems to be more of a kitty party of starship agency. Both leads bona and ha rin are with starship, there was endless promotion of mosnta x a starship group, just showes the agency has major share in investment.

curious Mar 01 2024 4:07 am and how many episodes will this have ? anyone ?

Ji Mar 01 2024 1:18 am Up until ep 4, it' perfect! Gosh, Harin really freaks me out. So manipulative and resourceful. I want to know what she has on her father.

Other characters are very well performed as well. Oh, and I thought it was Choi Yebin playing DoA, but it's Shin Seulgi. Not bad. It I'm looking forward to next week's episodes!

Mariaaa28 Mar 01 2024 12:27 am For the first 4 episodes, I'm giving 9.5/10. Really good.

Mariaaa28 Mar 01 2024 12:24 am Watching this because I'm a fan of Bona. I like it when she's still savage while they were bullying her. And gosh everyone's acting is just so great. I think they studied their character so well.

Shin Seulki looks a lot better in short hair compared when she was in Single Inferno.

Ryu Dain's charm is just on top even when she's acting like a loser hahahaha.

Jang Da Ah looks so much like Wonyoung. If Wonyoung face did not change from Izone to Ive, they'd probably look like twins. Great acting for a first timer.

This is Hyun Jung's 3rd drama and her tone and pronunciation just make this drama even better. How can someone so young be so talented? Next episode I think is about Na Eon and Ju Yeon's characters. These two have been doing well in their other dramas. Everything just shouts GIRL LOVE whenever they're on the screen.

Abc Feb 29 2024 5:30 pm Drama has capacity to become masterpiece

Forion Feb 29 2024 1:07 pm I love the storyline though i hate those lgbt story , Bona really great being main lead

Q Sep 08 2023 10:58 am Shin SeulKi even tho u didnt choose our dex, i will still support you. Fighting!!!!! ?

ta_95819 Aug 17 2023 7:46 am Bonaaaaaa-yaaaaaaaahhhh !!

baegggggggggggggg Jul 07 2023 3:32 am I can't wait to see Bona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone stan WJSN fr

Sun&Moon Jun 04 2023 11:48 am Shin Seul Gi? In this drama? Can't wait to see her as an actress

min May 31 2023 11:13 pm i loved this webtoon! looking forward to watching the drama !! the casting is great
