Hierarchy (2024)

Se você é fã de dramas tradicionais coreanos, então este drama pode não ser ao seu gosto

Na minha visão, a crítica que essa série de televisão recebe por sua suposta "ocidentalização" parece ser um pouco exagerada. É claro que a série se afasta do formato tradicional dos dramas coreanos, trazendo elementos típicos de produções ocidentais, como em 'Gossip Girl'. A atuação também foge do padrão habitual dos dramas da Coreia. Sem dúvida, existem algumas falhas na trama, mas isso pode ser devido ao planejamento da Netflix para uma segunda temporada, considerando o final que foi deixado. Muitas pessoas esperavam cenas extremamente eróticas, com drogas e violência excessiva. No entanto, é importante lembrar que estamos falando da Coreia e de um drama coreano; as chances de haver esse tipo de conteúdo em um drama sobre adolescentes são praticamente nulas. Eu daria uma nota sólida de 6/10 para essa série. Se você gosta de histórias sobre jovens ricos, mistérios de assassinato, atores charmosos e reviravoltas na trama, provavelmente vai se divertir com este drama. Por outro lado, se você é fã dos dramas coreanos mais tradicionais, pode não ser o seu gosto (assim como eu)

Nah this sucks ngl

I've only watched 6 episodes, but I don't wanna watch the last one. it just feels like time wasted, dude. In the 6 episodes I've seen its just felt awkward and the characters haven't grown at all.

All the characters are annoying, and I couldn't care less about any of them. Why are they acting like theyre gods. People keep talking about the main antagonist like he has some sort of superpower "watch out or he'll kill you!" dramatic ahh

The concept of having a hierarchy school is a concept that can work. Just look at the anime "Classroom of the elite".

All the characters in Hierchy are just forgettable. None of them have a interesting backstory that'll get you emotional. They just feel like the cliché "I'm cool because I'm rich".

Of course, He-ra (who's the only name I remember) and her family got bankrupt, but then the main female cast helped her and said "I've always seen you as a friend" and that's just stupid because clearly when that party thingy was, she didn't introduce He-ra's father to her father, because she didn't feel like it. The characters are just inconsistent.

The main female cast is also just shit. 6 episodes in and she still wants to protect the antagonist. "He's done nothing wrong!" yeah that's cap. she feels like one of those "I can fix him!" type of girls whom I despise.

Overall this show's dookie

Too much romance?? wtf was this show.

Recently a lot of shows with plots that have so much potential get wasted because they decided to focus on the romance more and not what actually makes sense.

This is very biased as I prefer plots without unnecessary romance but I just don't get why all that had to happen?? If you think about it, In Han's death having any correlation with any of the relationships is so far fetched.
1. Without RiAn he still would have gotten bullied and would of had to escape and run away
2. The teacher had no reason to run after him??? literally???? and it could have been easily replaced by him witnessing something else and not a makeout session

The plot had so much potential since it's so similar to Revenge of Others but it kind of just failed??

The mc is also just a fucking simp?? Whenever Jaei was talking about how it was her fault and only hers, he really denied it and said he'd go after whoever is threatening her???? then when RiAn breathed the same air, Kang Ha accuses him of every single crime possible?? Jaei also needs to make up her mind. She's obviously in love with RiAn but she admitted to having liked Kang Ha?? In my opinion this just seemed so force and I'm glad they didn't end up together, I mean, she was literally involved in your brother's death?? the reason why you're here??? He didn't even fully expose her or RiAn and they barely got any punishment and at the end she literally says "This isn't enough for what we've done" YEAH WELL. If only Kang Ha actually had a backbone..

Ep 1-2: exciting, new, Jaei and Kang Ha's romance starting to develop and we understand the reason why he's here more
Ep 3-4: Climax of the story, omg????
Ep 5: Could have ended here
Ep 6-7: Dragging it on

The plot was boring and left so many things unclear
All I'm saying is that we could have totally ended the show by Ep 5-6 if they didn't show a bunch of romance scenes that had nothing to do with the plot. I mean, how are you going to come up with a good plot then waste it by throwing in kissing scenes???

Try hard-chy

The early episodes of this drama is so busy trying to give an impression that it will be edgy like the western teen soaps that it seeks to ape that it forgets to set up characterization for any of the main characters moving into the story. It soon falls into the usual school drama cliches, just with a bigger budget and the lightest possible sanitized take on whichever taboo subject it's using for shock value. None of the cast have the acting ability to carry any kind of nuanced angst or charisma needed for any of these kids. The show is so wishy washy to fully condemn the bad behavior of the rich chaebol bully main character and there is also no bite to Kang Ha's plan for revenge for In Han. Putting aside he somehow easily got the probably highly sought after empty scholarship slot left by his murdered brother, he has no genius plan at all. He just lucked out finding Ju Won has all the illegally recorded videos and even after everything is turned over to the police, there is no cathartic change or justice aside from low pawns on the totem pole like the principal getting fired and the pedophile getting rightfully arrested for murder. Woo Jin is the minor being abused, but he's also definitely an accomplice to hiding the murder. It's also sickening the show keeps presenting the rich kids with wholesome friendship moments like typical kdrama leads and are so wrapped up in feeling bad for them that Kang Ha, the reminder of them being horrible classist bullies pretty much disappears for a lot of the episodes, so the show could pretend they are a whole different drama other than the one where these are the bad guys that they set up. Jae Yi and Ri An confirm their love for each other, but it doesn't evoke any strong feelings or romance, neither does Jae Yi confirming to Kang Ha that she did have a little bit of feelings for him. Aside from feeling horrified for Jae Yi being threatened by multiple people with both her illegally filmed by her brother sex tape (that's CP as well) and miscarriage, I don't feel bad for the rest of the chaebol bully crew at all, there is no dimension to their stories. This show is unable to form complicated characters, doesn't have any great acting to elevate it, and it's generally boring. The post credit scene of the last ep shows Kang Ha taunting Ri An after the latter comes upon a bloodied student. I can't even tell who that is supposed to be and why it means anything except for the show using supposedly shocking imagery but not delivering anything in the storytelling.

could this be the worst kdrama in 2014?

First off, this is my opinion. If any of you liked the drama, then good for you. Just respect the fact that not everyone liked it

This drama made me wonder if Korean elite really lived like that. Seriously, students who rule the school, so much so that the teachers are afraid of offending them??? Be that as it may, the extravagant display of wealth i.e. helicopters, chauffers, butlers, etc... was just a bit too much for me.

I though that this story revolved on bullying but the sub-stories easily overpowered this notion. The FL, while visually pretty, was nothing short of irritating, Blank expression from start to finish... MEH... I hated her character really. The way she avoided her ex BF would make you think that the guy did something MAJORly bad. But loh and behold.... it ended up that she was "protecting" him. Seriously, what kind of storyline was that. Protecting him from the fact that she got pregnant and miscarried? Very lame.... This show was literally children playing grown-ups by making common life problems a BIG issue.

And Hera? From bitchy BFF, it felt rushed how she turned a 360 sympathizing with the FL.

This story has just too many flaws and I wholeheartedly agree with anyone who gave it a low rating.

Not to belittle the efforts of the cast and crew, but this really was such a waste of airtime on Netflix.

Not Good Enough

'' Hierarchy '' is a school melodrama that is more about the cinematography than the story. In other words, is more about looks than substance.

The story is pretty basic, makjang style, with some rich kids terrorizing the poor students while dealing with their own personal drama. Still, there were some interesting elements at the start of the drama, with some intriguing plotlines.

However, as the series progressed, the story got more and more loose, getting boring to boot.

As for the romance, or love triangle, it was boring and the leads didn't really have any chemistry.

Also, they tried hard to make the rich kids look extra, but they just ended up not looking like teenagers, but rich makjang housewives.

At least the performances were enjoyable.

So, overall, three out of ten.

simplesmente raso

no início parece que vai ser ótimo, mas no final é uma bagunça. um dos PIORES doramas que eu já vi. querem que você torça por um casal rico em que o par masculino é responsável consciemente de mais da metade dos problemas que acontecem e você não sente a menor empatia por ele. as amizades são falsas, as vinganças não são fortes, nada parece certo. só existem dois personagens (kang-ha e jae-i) que talvez mereçam alguma paz, mas ambos tem fortes falhas, principalmente a jae-i que decide proteger o ri-an que é desprezível. no final as relações são rasas e a história ainda mais sem profundidade. uma pena.

Waisted Budget

I was very excited to watch this drama and was really looking forward to it, unfortunately I was disappointed. The cinematography and scenery was really good, you could tell they put effort towards the production. Also, they’re outfits and the settings were cool. I was looking forward to watch this drama because I usually like the high school trope that involves revenge. The first episode started okay though after that it fell off. I’m not even sure what the plot was supposed to be after watching it. I was looking forward to see some revenge or at least chemistry with the characters. Nothing against the characters but the script was clearly not it. Hopefully, they make better high school tropes as it seems dramas have been lacking in that genre. Wouldn’t recommend ?

Time wasted

This is my first time writing a review, so bear with me. I had heard a lot of bad reviews, but I still wanted to watch it. The 7 episodes started out good, but then the plot just didn't go anywhere. The main character focused so much on the girl that he totally forgot about his brother.

Why was it so short, and why did it go nowhere? I mean, I guess the teacher got arrested, but still.
They should've addressed the fact that the teacher was literally a pedo. She got arrested for the murder but not for her relationship with Lee U Jin. He Ra might as well have been the female lead because Jae i didn’t do much. He Ra was the best character. Did Kang Ha waste his time focusing on Jae i only to get rejected? It’s frustrating—they had so much potential but brought nothing to the table. Episodes one and two were good, but after that, it was pretty bland.

There were some scenes, like the car race, that weren’t needed. They spent so much money on that instead of developing the plot. The love triangle was pointless. Why mix a love triangle with a murder mystery? They combined two plots but still couldn’t make a good drama. The way they tried to imitate American football in Korea was so funny.

Since the actors are a bit older, it feels weird watching them try to act like teenagers—you can tell they’re not, not just by their looks but by their acting.

How to delete this from my brain?

Hierarchy: A nonsensical combination of Gossip Girl and Elite that ultimately tries too hard and absolutely delivers nothing.

There's still hope that there won't be a second season, cause honestly let's invest that money into actual good well written kdramas. Let some of the actual good actors shine in a piece that will do them justice instead of making them return to this. This is truly a case like madame web HOW DID THIS GET FUNDED? WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? I now have personal beef with the people that gave this the green light. Studio Dragon do better! Also, my two year old nephew can even tell a more cohesive story than the writer(s) of this actual drama. AND IT'S THEIR JOB!

My negative nelly truly came out but this show really pissed me off. And I was actually enjoying it for the first two episodes despite being unrealistic as hell. I can only throw so much of my brain out of the window while watching something as nonsensical and unrealistic as this. By the end of episode 5, I was still watching the show because at that point I was oddly curious at how kuch more ridiculousness they could add. How much worse could it get? The answer was soooooooo much worse.

Plus, they dressed up an 18-year-old high schooler as a 30+ rich house wife that has to deal with a cheating husband and a horrible mother in law..... make it make sense please

YAY another frustrating piece woohoo

Basically, this drama feels like another version of love alarm: there was potential for this to be good, but the writing was so poorly done, the characters' choices and consequences don't make any sense. The love pentagon thing that occurs is terrible cause it feels like a bunch of elementary schoolers trying to "love." Kang Ha falls in love with jae i, which I guess is fine, but when he finds out that SHE LITERALLY DIDN'T PROTECT HIS BROTHER FROM BULLYING unfazed him is illogical. How can jae i still love ri an when he is abusive and elitist when she doesn't have the same values as him? Why does he ra love u jin? Why does he ra love ri an? What's the motivation behind ju won? All of these questions go unanswered and the plot essentially crashes out. The actors portray their characters decently with what they were given, but the hate is warranted. Please don't watch this drama and find something else lmao. Couldn't finish it
