I don't know what title to give this
Well I saw negative reviews before I started watching it because I was actually looking for something to watch and this drama came up. I said "well I'll give it a chance, maybe I'll like it and it won't be so bad."
It's not bad but it's not good either.
I mean that all the protagonists here are garbage, morally speaking.
I mean, the protagonist is so stupid. What's wrong with not being rich? Why do you always blame your bad decisions with the excuse that you are poor?
I know that in Korea people really die to buy brand name things, if you don't have them you're trash. I've talked to Koreans and believe me the only brand they know is Chanel. They have a very big obsession with that brand and having things from that brand. I have seen Korean influencers who only upload their bags, their shoes, their earrings or anything that is Chanel.
Also a guy asked me what brand my cell phone was, I told him it was Samsung. When I told him that, he was surprised and he told me why don't you have an iPhone? I was a little confused at that time, because Samsung is a very famous brand and it is from Korea. So I asked a close Korean friend about this and she said "believe it or not, people who use Samsung are considered poor" and I was like "What the hell? It's just a damn cell phone." Here in my country it has also become popular that you should use iPhone. So maybe I can try to understand why the protagonist is so obsessed with appearing rich.
But come on, you're stupid and it's not because you're poor.
There really aren't any plot twists that you don't assume are going to happen. Nothing is really surprising.
Plus I don't understand why they all end up sleeping with Yeri's friend's boyfriend, if they don't even really like him.
I don't see a clear "hierarchy" between poor or rich people.
Besides, the school is a park or what? How can you be at school at night, like it's a public park or something lol.
Clearly there are things too absurd, so much so that he came to consider this as a Makjae.
It was obvious, and with how short the drama is, that nothing was going to have a final resolution. So I knew they were doing this to make a second season.
Which I really won't see. It's not worth it because FL has no personal growth at any time. At no point does he think that he should change those silly ideas in his head.
Furthermore, he also did not fully understand why if you are not rich you want to go to a rich school. You really don't have to be very smart to know that if you go to a rich school, you will be treated like trash.
I had a boyfriend who had a double life. He loved having expensive things and surrounding himself with people who were rich. But none of his "friends" had seen his house. According to him, because his house was poor and had damp stains on the wall. I always thought his house was nice, but that's when I discovered that he lied compulsively about what his lifestyle was like. He was 27 years old at the time, I was 20 years old. But he wanted a great job, with a position "that was right" for him and to earn a lot of money. But he didn't even leave his house to look for a job lol
(and no, it wasn't Korean).
So I never really understood and will never understand that need to want to go to a rich school or university. Sooner or later the truth will come out that you are lying.
And honestly, I have studied in private schools. Not because I wanted to, but because my parents thought I would have "a better education." I really ended up shying away from going to those schools because if they found out you were there for a scholarship, they would treat you like shit.
And I'm not rich, I just come from a very hard-working family. So when I had to go to university, I preferred it to be one where there were people like me. That they did not come from upper middle class or high class families.
So i'm didn't really understand that thought.
The performances were decent, not great but not bad either.
The cinematography was not something that stood out either. It was average. And the music didn't match the drama.
So there is nothing meaningful to see in this drama. In the pyramid game, there were also only 10 episodes and some of the protagonists were their debut roles and they did it as if they had been working in the industry for a long time.
And he achieved what he had to fix, without illogical things involved and well-constructed characters.
I recommend it? I really doubt it. Although the drama is short, it is boring and the plot is extremely stupid. I think your time would be better spent watching a much better drama than this one.
