bad storyline
i think this kdrama will be so glamourous, chic, fancy and something expensive. i understood if some people say an acting so cool! but the storyline really sucks, have many a lot of hole plot but, for properties i like it so much!! the problem in this k drama just BAD STORYLINE, the revenge isn't revenge, OUHHH romantic on this drama really excessive.. like student hs with teacher? not make sense really.. i finished this drama with 2× speed in one day, i just wanna see a pretty girl and handsome boy, so the POINTTTT IS this drama having a great cast but the very bad story lineWas this review helpful to you?
Too many angry fans so let me be the only positive reviewer you need
I have always had Hierarchy on my watch list but edited it out after reading countless bad reviews,so the other day I started trcking Kim Jae Won(Mr eye candy) after seing him in King the Land and Hierarchy is one of his recent and most famous drama and it was only 7 episodes so i knew i would watch it in one seating.Due to bad reviews,I went in this with lowest expectatioons and only to pass time before continuing with Red Sleeve.So i will make this simple and easy to read
THE PROS:
1.The cinematography was good, shot in high quality picture and the set was meticulous
2.The rich was very rich,if you want to see excessive wealth on display and many Heremes boxes,this is the show for you
3.The two MLs are beautiful men,I dont know who cast them but give this casting director their flowers,to be honest I loved their acting and knowing how young they are in real life,I think they did a pretty good job and yes I need men who can cry a river and bring out seriou emotions weither its love or lockeroom fights,the rest of the casts was ok
4.The wordrobe was expensive and really good peices especially for the men.THis goes for them houses,cars and everything expensive
5.The fact that that it was short,they wrapped up things quick,i didnt have to seat and watch the FL being a tree for 16 episodes..
Overall if you enjoyed Penthouse,The Glory and Sky castle,add this to the rich but dont expect a strong storyline just enjoy rich people doing rich people things.

It was a fun watch, not too complicated
I liked this drama better than the hyped dramas that came this year till now. It starts off slow but picks up pace from the 2nd episode. And after that you just can’t stop watching. The plot keeps you going till the end.Jae-i had good chemistry with both of the guys but I wanted him to end up with Ri-an and I am happy she kind of did picked him in the end. She was herself with him only and he was also sincere with her. So I am glad that they sorted out the mess and ended on good terms.
I am not sure about kang ha,maybe there should’ve been another female lead for him as love interest bcz Jae-i loved Ri-an and they are more suited for each other.
I liked the rivalry and the ups and downs on their friendship. He-ra was amazing. Loved her character. She was more interesting character than Jae-i. ?
Overall I wasn’t as interested in the school bullying thing as it got too toxic but that was the main plot of the show. I was more interested in what was going on between Jae-i, Ri-an, Kang ha and He-ra love square. Overall it was a good watch to complete in one day.

Disappointed by the lack of a storyline. It gave nothing for real
The first episode was really good. A man on a mission to revenge his brother, a wealthy frigid female lead, and her equally wealthy ex-boyfriend, who is vicious and hopelessly in love with the female lead. However, all of this turned into a disaster. From vengeance to falling in love with an icy affluent female protagonist who is lonely and afraid (damsel in distress), which resulted in a love triangle that was not necessary, plus the rest was just not right.Was this review helpful to you?

Same old plot, same old love triangle!
I was so excited for this drama thinking that it will give me something new and different but boy was I wrong.Plot:
I'm so sorry but the idea of someone getting bullied and killed for trying to be friends with the most popular girl in school is so stupid. The fact that the whole plot is literally the most beautiful girl in the school makes silly decisions or mediocre decisions and some how it effects the whole school. I still don't understand how the ML fell for her. Honestly the whole show was trying to make us feel sorry for the rich students but I couldn't care less. Another thing I found annoying was how useless the ML was. He really had no plans on bringing down the school. His whole talk of getting the highest grade was so useless since we didn't see anything on grade ratings or him studying. I kind of wished he was more overpowered- having more tricks and secrets up his sleeves. Without the principals son, the ML wouldn't have found his brothers killer. And the fact that he can't fight was so anticlimactic - literally getting punched by everyone. Lastly, if you HATE love triangles, Dont watch this. Again the guys only love her because she is different and smiles once in a month. I feel like the love wasn't needed at all especially if you know your mission is to find your brothers killer, I Dont think you should be foliacing with girls.
Set and casting
The cinematography was stunning and the settings, houses and the school will call you broke in seven languages. I loved the cast. They can all act and visuals were on point. Too bad I was bored by the 3rd episode.
Music
One of the worst part of the show. It sounded like tesco Billie eilish. I couldn't tell whether was songs were in English or Korean.
Conclusion
Overall it wasn't bad. It was like every other mediocre rich kids drama but with a big budget. So anticlimactic And will leave you dissatisfied. If you want a movie to watch that is way better than this show with more drama and plot, watch student of the year.

"Netflix: A Series of Dull Story, Uncaptivated by Korean Dramas"
Why netflix is so obsessed spainsh elitè series. Money waste , boring plot and acting sucks and cast selection is bit wierd like twinkling watermelon old couple did not suited well for the characters . It is remake of elitè series with slightly some changes into it, taking is not impressive too like korea 's used to take. Nothing is there in it only time waste series.Was this review helpful to you?
absolutely worth it.
This series dives into the cutthroat world of corporate power struggles with an intricate plot full of twists that kept me hooked from the first episode. The characters are complex and their motivations are slowly revealed, adding depth to the already gripping story. The lead actors' chemistry is intense, and their performances are nothing short of stellar. Visually stunning with its sleek cinematography and high production values, "Hierarchy" also stands out for its sharp writing and perfectly matched soundtrack. If you're into suspenseful dramas with a touch of romance, this one is a must-watchWas this review helpful to you?

this drama was iffy
The start of the drama was amazing if felt like the director put time and effort into the first couple episodes however I felt the ending of the whole thing was rushed and they just didn’t have any idea what to doI hated Ri-an in this drama so much I felt like his character wasn’t it and just wanted Jae-I. I feel like Kang Ha and Jae-I are a better match idk why I just love the rich and poor duo a bit to much …lol.
I’m guessing Jae-I went to her birth mother at the end and I thought that was cute because earlier in the drama she want to go to quite place and guessing it was her mum. Jae-I dad got on my nerves and her brother , like why flim her and treat her like she a nothing to you, Her dad holy he was so annoying like how can to talk Abt your daughter and her birth mum like that. I just want to slap some common sense in him.
i love how they director showed that Kang Ha and Kang in Han like I didn’t even know they were brothers especially fertile twins like wow.
overall this drama could have been better If there is a s2 will defo watch it

Plotline was messy and displays horrible character development
bruh i dont get how this kdrama is on netflix, everything is happening all at once like so many plots that it's just weird, i don't get how basically no one was actually punished except for the teacher, a kid was murdered and everything just turned out for the best like wha... there was a love triangle going on, there was a revenge going on, there was a rich friend group drama going on, there was family issues going on ( but that's in every kdrama ), there was a teacher student thing going on, i felt like the screenwriter just found every popular genre and just randomly threw it into the drama. Most importantly the capture of the teacher was sooo anti climatic, like she did nothing to defend herself and just got arrested just like that. Moreover, if they reallllllly wanna play off the bullies as slightly good people at the end ( which is just soo goddamn weird cuz no one would randomly just switch up like that ), they should at least implement a slight bit of guilt scenes like PTSD anxiety or sth :////// and the storyline was overall just not flowing at all, things just randomly happen out of nowhere, like bruh they didn't give enough indication that JJY was actually still in love with KRA. And I think the only good character in this kdrama is KH, like he stuck to his morals to the very end even if it meant hurting someone that he likes cuz that was what he came for and didn't stray from his principles ( kinda ), everyone else's development just either didn't change or just randomly became good after a few mins -_-Overall, mid kdrama, dunno why its on netflix, it was the first kdrama where I felt painful to watch

the plot
The story is VERY good, but I feel like they didn't take advantage of it well. Maybe if it had had more episodes the plot could have been developed much better, the ending shocked me a little because everything It was so fast, I mean, they imprison the culprit and that's it? I would have liked them to have concentrated more on the story than on the characters' love affairs, even so I feel that it is a good kdrama and that it deserves for people to watch it!! I love all the actors who were there.Was this review helpful to you?
A mediocre show that had potential
It was mid. While the story had potential, i don't think there was enough episodes to execute it properly. The 5 main characters also had potential but they focused on the romantic drama when they should have focussed on the friendship drama. The side characters were so annoying. I'm glad there was some consequences for the horrible actions of the characters but I wanted more pay off since that was the whole point of the show. The 7 episodes didn't allow for this though. There were also some cringe nonsensical moments that were hard to get through and made me roll my eyes so hard. For example, the car race scene just so Jae-yi could break up with Rian (why?) and the one scene where they play American foot ball (yikes). The cinematography was great and the soundtrack was also good. I really like the actors which is also kind of frustrating because they should have gotten great character writing and would have been able to pull it off. They did good with what they were given. Also, can we please stop showing these creepy teacher/student relationships? At least she got some punishment but media should not depict these relationships without showing that they are explicitly wrong and have a negative impact on the student. whether they are a boy or a girl or if they are rich or poor.Overall, a show that had potential but was badly executed with not enough episodes to flesh out everything.
