Hierarchy

It was good, I watched almost all the episodes without getting bored, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, it was talking about the problems in society due to the class problems we always see in kdramas,As the name of the series already suggests. I also liked Lee chaemin acting Even though it's my first time watching his drama. Even though I found big gaps in the drama, the scriptwriter tried to close the gaps, even if it was ridiculous, towards the end. We saw a new murder at the end of the series, but I don't think I will watch it if there is a second season. The first season was enough for me for now. This is my first review, I will continue to write from now on.

To be honest, there was no likeable character in this show. Maybe He-ra and sometimes Kang Ha, but everyone else sucked. Like the mystery/revenge wasn't executed well and the ending was super underwhelming. The romance was also bad, like they would insert past clips of the female lead and second male lead, for what? To make us like them?, because they were both terrible people to be honest and dull.

Every actor besides Lee Chaemin also looked lifeless. Literally no emotion. The only good thing about this show is maybe the visuals, but tbh even with the good looking actors, it still sucks.

Don't watch this show. It's a waste of time. Only the 1st episode was decent and then it went downhill fast.

A big budget, beautiful actors and sceneries, and nice cars could not propel this KDrama to the level of others that share the same tropes. It's not all bad, but there were so many wasted opportunities for this to be spicy.

Characters: FL-dull and lifeless; ML- I liked, but I was sneak dissing him by the end. Other characters- awesome opportunities to explore how they could have pushed the plot, but didn't.

Unnecessary parents- did not impact or improve anything.

Avenge your brother-period. Nope. Let's "change the school's culture". Unrealistic outcomes based on a lackluster plot and mediocre acting.

Romance? Let's race to see if we stay together (Boys over Flowers vibes). They tried to have a triangle, but that failed.

The "blackmail" idea became tiresome by the end. This could have been so awesome with some twists.

The biggest letdown, IMO, were the underdeveloped relationships, irrelevant flashbacks, and overall failure to launch (all over the place).

Watch it. Grapple through all 7 episodes. At the end, I think there's an aftertaste that needs a spoonful of sugar.

I'm a huge fan of the Spanish show Elite ( till the 3rd season atleast ) and I expected something similar with Hierarchy. To an extent it was and that's why I rate this 5/10.

The best part of the show was it's only 7 episodes and wasn't dragged out. The suspense and the end to it was satisfactory.

The two male leads are the saving grace of this show. In my opinion they're not great actors yet, still young and raw, but they're okay enough to carry a show.

The female lead playing Jung Jae I needs to eat something. Hopefully then she will have the energy to act and give different expressions.

Worth one time watch and would watch if there's a season 2.

I had high hopes ....kind of 2nd tier KDRAMA actors as leads and honestly only a couple seemed to define their characters....typical Chaebol belittling the underclass - with violence in the extreme.... Just none of the characters were likable ......beautiful settings as befitting KDramas where the super rich and powerful rule....i would have loved to know the budget for the one of a kind fleet of cars they used!!!

When I see movies like this - and this made me realize this will be my last like this!! - it makes high school cliques in America and other countries look like kids play.....and It makes me wonder how much truth there is to the class system in Korea.....Asia ...... I would only recommend if you are totally bored - have nothing better to watch (?) - but then again if it gets down to that - take a walk or read a good book!!!!
