Pyramid Game

Positives:

This show's main focus is bullying, and they show it in an entertaining way while giving a good message on how to deal with it.

Despite the 10 episodes, each approx one hour long , the show is mostly engaging, and the editing is sharp in most of the episodes.

The cast is super awesome, especially the actresses who played Soo-ji and Ha-rin.

It's a binge-worthy show.

'Higher' song that plays during the intro and in between, enhances the experience of watching the show. Also, I like 'In the Dark' song that plays at the end.

It could be a good watch for fans of All of Us Are Dead and Squid Game.

The last scene did a good job setting up for season 2.

Negatives:

There's a lot, lot, lot of staring, which sometimes can bore the audience, like me, where the characters are just staring at each other without speaking.

If there had been eight episodes of about 30-45 minutes each, it would have been a better watch.

Episode 8 and Episode 10 have some overstretched and boring scenes. The finale episode (the 10th episode) wasn't that good or engaging. Also, I didn't get all the answers, especially the one related to the first scene in the show.

Overall, it's a must-watch show because of the amazing cast and interesting storyline. Ignore the negative points I shared and give this show a try, it might be the best show released this year. I hope it gets the hype it deserves and is renewed for season 2.

Korean Drama '' Pyramid Game '' is a drama about school bullying and social classes.

The drama has a strong start, with the viewer being introduced to the characters and to the pyramid system. It was interesting to follow the main lead, as she was trying to understand her new position and how to change things. It was also nice that she wasn't all good and innocent, rather, she was a grey character who was selfish and manipulative. Hence, her character development was enjoyable to follow.

On the other hand, the drama had a weak second half. It felt anticlimactic and the ending was a let down.

At least, the performances were all strong by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

"Pyramid Game" is a concise series, spanning just 12 episodes, with a plot centered around bullying. The casting is notably effective, as the actors deliver convincing performances. This drama is a suitable choice if you're looking to pass some time. The depiction of bullying is strikingly realistic, although the game element is fictional. Yet, it cleverly illustrates societal dynamics-how the rich gain more power and continue to thrive, while the poor remain oppressed and stuck at the bottom of the pyramid.

Overall, it's a worthwhile watch. If you have some spare time, it's definitely engaging; however, if your time is limited, there might be other priorities for your viewing list.

This show is such a good show because of the ongoing plot to take down the bullies, and form alliances & friendships I also loved that Korea decided to take a different approach with gl and added some romance between two women in the show it was actually very fun to see and refreshing and new and it was so interesting every single episode made you want to watch more and more even when the first season was finished. Season 2 is definitely deserved because of the ending leaving an open entrance for a reason 2!! Yall would love this if you enjoy wlw and in a kdrama too!!! If you enjoy a show with a lot of plot twists and interesting storylines between a lot of female characters then this is the show for you.

Pyramid game deals with the well-known school bullying. As if today's kids aren't already too creative in their methods of bullying, they have just given them another idea with this series.

Regardless, the series started intensely and interestingly, but soon they started messing with the timeline. Every episode is cut in key scenes and without any explanation why what is happening, the scene continues confusingly and without meaning. Cut scenes are returned sometimes in the middle or at the end of the episode, sometimes at the beginning of a new episode, and sometimes they completely forgot to return the scene to show what actually happened in the part that they deliberately did not show.

Overall, the series wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't played too much with the timeline and thus made everything confusing.
