A thought-provoking series that critiques society and delves deep into self-discovery

‘Hierarchy’ is a hidden gem that requires analysis to understand its message and appreciate how it’s presented on screen. The characters are presented to viewers the same, stereotypical way they are perceived by others in the series. Jae-i is portrayed as someone who doesn’t easily get influenced or bothered by others as she leads a perfect life. Kang Ha, as someone who’s so optimistic and new to the school that he’s naive to its dark truths. When pushed to their limits by the vulnerability of their regrets from the past and fear for the future, the main leads slowly unravel their facades. They reveal themselves to be the total opposite of how they seem at first glance. Viewers can only guess what they’re thinking, which adds to the intrigue and plays a big part in capturing the audience’s attention. This is an engaging series that’ll pull one in with just enough information to make them want to see where it's going and understand the leads’ motives behind their actions.

The show follows the story of two individuals who are both victims of the harsh world, regardless of their differences in social class. Despite having problems that seem contradictory, Jung Jae-i and Kang Ha provide each other with strength and solace. Their shared support enable them to overcome their struggles, even though they're on opposite sides of the conflict. By prioritizing understanding, they use past tensions to become stronger than the problem and move on from what once held them back.

It shines light on the important aspects people often neglect in life, such as letting go and its impact on both ourselves and those around us. The female lead’s mindset is split in two parts parallel to the plot and highlights the changes that letting go can make. She becomes a better version of herself after she is shown reflecting on her thoughts with the only source of light being a strike of colour. Rainbows signify hope and new beginnings. It's following this scene where she reconciles with the lost part of herself and lets go of her unnecessary burden, represented through her lost baby, that the events take a turn for the better.

Eight teenagers are under a crushing pressure to stay fit into the roles society and their own families cast them in. They want to break free, but their fierce desire to escape their predetermined futures remains confined between the walls of Jooshin highschool. Run by two of the country’s most influential chaebol families, its goal is to provide the heirs of the top conglomerates with the best education. With important reputations to adopt from their rich and demanding parents, the successors of these groups have grown in hiding. Jung Jae-i and Kim Ri-an’s true, imperfect selves are locked behind flawless facades that push them to become people they don’t want to be and blind them from the real world and its injustices.

Jooshin’s recent death was driven by the desire to keep concealed what they wanted to hide the most within the school’s walls; which is the importance of fame and influence rather than the focus on actual studies and the well-being of students. When someone of lesser importance in society brings light to the case the school tried to cover, the students whose reputations are at risk of being tainted try to push him out and stop him from discovering the truth. Because at the stem of the reasoning behind the student’s death lies the school’s dark reality.

When the scandal threatens to reveal the truth among their concealed lives, all the top scholars struggle to find a place to stand ground, aware that only one can remain at the top of the hierarchy.

With the support of other scholarship students who have been victims of disrespect, Kang Ha orchestrates a scheme to destroy the school’s unjust and toxic hierarchy. He believes that change is necessary because the students of today are those who will determine society’s future. Kang Ha predicts that the social classes will limit those who are of less wealthy families. By stringing together clues from the past, he plots to bring down the school and give justice to those who have been wronged. Wanting to be the hero in the story, Kang Ha fights to differentiate the good from the bad and balance the consequences in a way that’ll only hurt those responsible for it. But with the close and conflicted bonds within the school, achieving that goal proves to be more complicated than anticipated. He’s forced to step back and reflect on what it is he truly wants.

Jung Jae-i and Kim Ri-an’s love for each other is stronger than anything else. It’s only a matter of time until the two leaders of the school will be forced to sacrifice their secrets to a case that threatens their reputation and the school’s. Even with the possibility of losing each other’s hand down the road of lies, secrets, and rivalry; they continue caring for each other with the same love they wish they could give their own selves. This dependency they shared with one another formed the base of their relationship and proved to be unhealthy. It ends up serving to Jung Jae-i as evidence of how unfit her current life was for her, resulting in their break-up and eventually prompting the start of her new life. It was only after letting go of the opportunity of what they could be together by giving up their future as parents that Jung Jae-i not only managed to see what was right for her own self, but also gained the maturity to set things right with those around her whom she caused harm.

What He-ra and Kang Ha have in common is that they both are in positions that set them up to seek revenge on Jae-i. However, the growth they underwent through the friendship she provided them with enabled them to realize the true source of their problems. For He-ra, it was her selfishness and greed. She wanted to have Ri-an by her side to give disillusion to her family’s monetary problems and assert her power as it progressively grew uncertain. Her numerous attempts fell flat and ultimately led to her disliking Jae-i; whom Ri-an claimed was the only one he had an eye for, even though those feelings of his remained unreciprocated following their break-up. It took Woojin, someone equally selfish and greedy, to make He-ra realize it was her own selfishness that caused her hatred for Jae-i. She came to the realization that it was her own self that held her back from coming to a resolution to her problem—a problem that could only be resolved with Jae-i’s help. By only caring about gaining enough money to stabilize her family’s financial state and wanting revenge on Jae-i for taking away that possibility, He-ra was blinded by her own pride. Had she overlooked her own problems and favoured understanding between friendships and societal classes, she would have had the opportunity to solve her worries. Before her family’s financial crisis, the only things He-ra possessed was money and power. She ended up going from being chased after for her power to being the one doing the chasing. Somewhere along the journey she took to get through her highest and lowest point in life, she gained a trustful and understanding personality.

As for Kang Ha’s situation—his strong desire to find the reason for his brother’s death—its cause was actually the teacher that was initially portrayed as a good and caring individual. What led to In-han’s death was her selfish desire to become part of the ones of more importance and authority, by dating Woojin. When the killed scholar had posed a threat to her reputation, her desire to stop him drove her insane and she chose her chance at being at the top of the hierarchy over his chance at life. This highlighted a greater problem within the school, because it meant that the teachers, who are supposed to be guardians for the students and protect them, were influenced by the hierarchy. So in the end, the problem for Kang Ha and He-ra was the hierarchy and it was by succeeding in bringing it down that Kang Ha got the revenge he wished for.

Kang Ha loves to care for those who are victims to the cruelty of the world. Thus, him going to Jooshin high to get justice for his bullied brother and consequently falling for Jae-i, who was struggling to carry the weight of her regret and guilt. This is the reason why, in the end, he's simply content with knowing that she shared the same feelings for him as he did for her. Seeing her give him one of her happiest of smiles, which he wanted to see all along, was the only closure he needed to their relationship. Kang Ha sees In-han, his deceased brother, through Jae-i because of how they share the commonality of being treated unfairly and feeling hurt. So through the smile he put on Jae-i’s face, it was as if he was also able to make his brother feel better and see his smile. As for Jae-i, who felt that she failed to protect In-han in the past, she sees him through Kang Ha. So although she let In-han down by not standing up for what was right or being by his side like she was for him, she ended up protecting Kang Ha. This happened following Kang Ha’s sentence that she started living by, which was to protect, no matter what, who you care about and love the most. This allows viewers to make the realization that between both male leads, it was clearly Kang Ha who had won over her heart; bringing an end to their love triangle. In the end, it was Kang Ha who got what he wanted most, which was seeing Jae-i smile at him and getting closure to In-han’s struggle through her, as well as ensuring the school a better future and having the bullies acknowledge their wrongdoings.

The series closed off Jae-i’s path to self-discovery, which she paved with her own sweat and tears, by leading her to her mother. This reunion showcased her immense character growth since Jae-i grew up in fear of her father throwing her away like he did with her mother; whom he deemed worthless. She let that fear control her life and hold her back from living the life she actually wanted, feeling obliged to live by his expectations. In the end, she made decisions based on her own will and was able to face her new life with a smile because she was no longer scared of being a failure in the eyes of those around her.

Through his decision to attend Jooshin and get revenge on those responsible for his brother’s death, Kang Ha used the traits he shared with his brother (caring and understanding) to carry on his brother's legacy. Not only did he solve the school's mysteries and get it punished for its insensitivity towards scholarship students (something In-han always wanted to achieve but did not have the chance), but he also transformed the ruthless students into better people. It was through Kang Ha that Jae-i was able to gain the courage to face her problems instead of running away, like she had done in the past after discovering her pregnancy. By caring for her and providing her with assistance, she ended up facing her struggles head-on and setting things right. She embraced her struggles as part of who she is, permitting her to move on from the many things that had been holding her back (her guilt of In-han’s death, feeling like she wasn’t able to tell Ri-An about their baby, her unhealthy relationship with her boyfriend) and lead her life with the best version of herself that she found through Kang Ha’s love for her.

Though Kang Ha got his revenge in the way where the school itself had to acknowledge its mistakes, the ending scene sets up an enthralling conclusion to his journey in uncovering Jooshin’s wrongdoings by implicating the others. An immobile student (suspected to be Jae-i’s brother who caused her much torment) is laying on the ground and yet the focus is placed on the top students, highlighting how someone is a killer. Just like how Jae-i ends up facing her fear, they all might have to relive the torment of a student’s death and face it with a better approach.

In Korea if you're rich and good looking you can get away with anything, even on Netflix.

I usually don't write reviews, but this show really struck a nerve

In Korea if you're rich and good looking you can get away with anything, even on Netflix. I can't believe they gave these evil characters a redemption arc even though they barely faced any consequences for their horrible actions.

Good series to pass the time, but empty.

I just watched it, and it feels like I spent about 7 hours watching NOTHING. I would prefer the series to have 16 episodes as usual and everything to be more developed.

I'm starting to understand why dramas don't have second seasons and don't end before the tenth episode.

My feeling is that they didn't have the courage to make this series. It had a promising start, the final hook of the first chapter was simply perfect. But something got lost along the way, and the series looked like one of those Nickelodeon programs for ten-year-olds.

What upset me most was the series' boring attempt to redeem the villain himself. Come on, bro, if you don't want this guy to be the villain, give the villain to another character! He was easily the stupidest in the entire series, but I got the feeling that I didn't watch some parts because out of nowhere FL kept saying over and over that her priority was protecting him??

That was another thing that upset me. FL and SML had no personality. In fact, their "personality" was both of them. SML only served to cry for FL and to beat the other characters. Fl only served to cry, defend SML for any reason even though he didn't deserve it, and stroke something in his ego with ML.

ML, in turn, forgot about his revenge for about 4~5 episodes. And at the end there was that post-credits scene, which didn't leave much to be understood.

What I think would be correct: FL understands that she is emotionally dependent on SML, and not in love with him. Understand that she likes ML. End.

I'm not even going to talk about the secondary characters, for me the killer was the worst possible choice. It was better to leave the mystery. It was as if they chose the least interesting character in the series to discard for the next season.

If next season, or part two, happens, I hope they reevaluate this season's lack of courage.

Flash Over Substance

I was originally just going to write a comment but it got out of hand so...full review it is.

The show started off somewhat interesting, but they didn't really bring anything new to the table. We've seen this done multiple times already in Korea, as well as in other international Netflix properties...and better.

Having multiple actors who were in SKYCastle made it all the more obvious how bad the pacing and writing was in this show. I can see what they wanted to do, and I'm okay with watching shows with similar plots and tropes, but not when the writing is lackluster and the acting is...missing something.

Lee Chae Min(Kang Ha) and Lee Won Jung(Lee Woo Jin) were the only actors amongst the younger cast that I believed and saw the subtle emotions they tried to get across. Chae Min studied acting and it shows. Even though he's only been active since 2020 he has a confidence in front of the camera that is important for a lead actor. The was an insecurity showing from Kim Jae Won that I didn't really understand.

TBH the reason I wanted to see this show in the first place was because of the lead actress Roh Jeong Eui and after watching her performance...I have some questions. Where the hell did her extremely prominent dimples go? Why do actresses keep get tweakments RIGHT BEFORE shooting a drama where they need to be able to emote? Her smiles seemed forced and unnatural for most of her scenes with Kim Ra In. There was no connection between their characters. And I don't know what it is about Kim Jae Won's eyes, but it's giving 'no thoughts, head empty'. She's been acting for over a decade, and I really want to know what happened here...was it her...was it the director? Other than what I've already said I'm not sure what went wrong with this performance. It feels like they said "your character has no personality so just stand there and don't smile, don't show any emotion"

Okay, let me put this in a way that you can understand why I'm a bit harsh with the emoting and chemistry. If you've seen the show Maxton Hall recently you might have seen the lead actor talking about how he'll go over a script and see what lines could be omitted and just be expressed through a look instead. The LOOKS that the entire cast give in that show...you can practically hear their internal thoughts/struggles.

There is a way to express cold and standoffish without giving statue and dead eyes. The reason I was drawn more to Kang Ha as a character was because he had those looks down. He had his mask side, and his true self. He had emotions that spanned more than just happy and disinterested. There were thoughts in his head that the audience could interpret. Same with Woo Jin, best example, when he realizes what he's done in bringing about the unhappiness of the girl he likes and his best friend.

I'll give it to the make-up/wardrobe department for doing the work towards the end to soften the characters. The different make-up techniques on the girls were noticed.
Using Prada for the FL is smart in that it is extremely structured and angled, but simple, classic and understated. *snaps*
I just wish we could have gotten a few more "relaxed" versions of the characters. There was a lot of what I like to call "over produced" scenes that should have been more intimate. We really didn't need the Michael Bay level break up scene...I swear I was waiting for an explosion to go off as she walked away. A lot of the cinematography was flash over substance imo. It's one of the things I notice the most in any production. A lot of the show felt more like an ott music video(which is how Michael Bay got his start as a director) than an actual human story.

We also never got to really see Kang Ha's personal space. Everyone else's rooms were over the top or cold and impersonal. It just all felt so...fake. I know that that was the intent for some of the set design, but there was little to no contrast and it all just felt the same person decorated multiple locations. The only space that sort of showed the personality of any of the characters was Woo Jin's studio.
We should have been shown a home at some point, what we got were show rooms.

We had enough of this plot already.

Hierarchy (2024): A Disappointing Climb Up the Social Ladder

The tired trope of "poor student at a rich school seeking revenge" returns in Hierarchy, a forgettable addition to Netflix's K-drama library. While the official poster and synopsis initially sparked my interest, the show quickly fell flat. The casting, despite featuring fresh faces like Lee Chae-Min (looking sharp in "High Class," 2021) and Kim Jae-Won (chillingly stoic in "King: The Land," 2023), ultimately felt off. Even Roh Jeong-Eui, who surprised me with her transformation from "Badland Hunters" (2024), couldn't elevate the series.

Unfortunately, all three leads delivered stiff and uninspired performances. The first two episodes were enough to convince me to abandon series entirely. The execution felt poorly done, lacking the punch of similar dramas like "Bitch X Ritch" (2023). The predictable plot offered no surprises, leaving me with zero anticipation for future episodes.

While Lee Chae-Min's visuals hold promise, his acting needs further refinement to truly resonate with audiences. Kwon Eunbin would have been a more fitting choice for Jung Jae-I, potentially imbuing the character with greater strength and edge. Here's hoping Mr. Lee receives roles that better utilize his talents.

Despite topping Netflix PH's charts, Hierarchy's hype is ultimately unjustified. The show fails to deliver on its initial intrigue.


P.S. I am clearly new to movie and show reviews. I aim to become better. Grace and Peace. Follow for more movie and Korean drama show reviews. My main interests are Korean dramas and contents.

a mystery thriller turns out to be cheap comedy show.

for me it was a lame comedy show bc you are telling me that kang ha really liked Jae i that deeply? his actions were hilarious to me as he was more focused on saving fl's ass than taking revenge.

i didn't like any of the main 3 leads as they were--

Kang Ha: a simp who is also incompetent in taking revenge.
Ri An: a toxic simp who is also a bully and a crybaby chaebol.
Jae I: a victim of blackmail, daddy issue. an unreliable,toxic lover.try to act as a goody two shoes when it's too late.
......
i know in the most of characters redeem themselves(even it was Forced, rushed and absolutely unbelievable)but whatever.
......
i gave it 6.5 i would have given it 7.5 if ONLY ONE the leads had their characters come a full circle. in that case i liked the supporting character more bc they at least had a good character development or they were actually good in their acting.

He Ra: i know she was a two faced b*tch but her acting was better and a character development
Woo Jin:his acting was good but his character was really a wasted potential.
the Student President: like he was doing most of the work and liked the actor too.

hera,woojin and the president are bad i know but thought that they were more convincing as a character than the main 3 leads.

kang ha just seems like a pointless side character

in my opinion, it was so hard to believe that there’s a way he’s a main lead. maybe if he ended up with jae-i at the end he could’ve been considered a main lead, but he didn’t. other than the romance plot, the whole reason he came to the school was to get revenge for his brother, but he ended up barely doing anything. his presence honestly just seemed SO pointless. the romance between the teacher and woojin also seemed kinda pointless. they were dating and everything, but their breakup honestly seemed so rushed too. like one second they were “in love” but the next second they were broken up because woojin suddenly liked hera?? if they were going to do something of that sort, they should’ve at least added at least a bit of a plot. i swear she was only added to the drama to be an nuisance to viewers. this show didn’t have a plot whatsoever.

So much potential, however..

First I want to say how amazing the cast of this show is. They all have great chemistry with each other and rlly bring their characters to life. Especially Lee Chae-min (Kang Ha) caught my attention from the very start and he truly gained a new fan of his person and acting with me. Did the series have major flaws? Yes. The storyline wasn't able to live up to its full potential, due to bad writing. The love triangle was very unnecessary, since it's unrealistic for a grieving brother to fall in love with the potential murder of ur brother.. just because the girl is pretty. Kang Has revenge should have gotten way more attention and detail. However apart from that each episode was very enjoyable to watch and it never bored me in any way. I hope they are able to do a season 2, where they stop focusing on the romance (or at least in a better way) and start the real journey of Kang Ha with the school.

WATCH IT! It isn't as bad as what people are saying!!

I saw the many negative reviews but decided to give it a chance and I'm glad I did.

IT WAS NOT BAD! It was a simple drama to watch, nothjng special but it was a good type of simple.

I felt the actors did a very very good job. The storyline is the only thing I would have wished more of. The revenge plot was very poorly written. This guy is literally his twin brother. Get your revenge, who cares about the girl?

Then you have also have some sort of twister good villian story going on. Having you confused. I didn't care that they were in love and treat each other good. The fact is they bully the leff fortune. SIMPLE!!!

Again the story was a good 'one' watch.

youtube ads have better crafted writing

no chemistry between the leads whatsoever.

if only they had focused more on acting and plot instead of pretentious glitz and glam maybe then the show would still be redeemable.

the show tried too hard showing the affluent privileged lifestyle which just felt forced and not natural.

they're playing 16-17 year old high school juniors but it feels like you're watching a business show featuring 40+ ahjussi and ajummas.

No plot!!

I started watching this drama solely for the female lead, as I've enjoyed her performances in previous shows and find her acting quite impressive. However, I was extremely disappointed. The drama began on a promising note, but after episode 4, it consistently went downhill. As someone who enjoys dramas like 'Penthouse,' I had high expectations for this one. Unfortunately, it lacked a solid plot. The only aspect I liked was the background music.

When I saw the first episode I was so excited, I said "this is going to be a great drama." But slowly my disappointment grew even more. I didn't really mind that the teenagers shared themselves like more adult people. In The Glory, it was perfectly shown that although they were not of legal age, they partied, drank, had sex and smoked. Things that teenagers usually do. The Elite thing didn't bother me either, it is known that if you are the son of a Chaebol family you can escape from everything bad you are doing and if you are a scholarship recipient they will treat you like shit. What bothered me were several things:

1. I don't know anything about the protagonist. I don't know if he has a family or how he managed to get into this high "prestige" school. We didn't even know where he lived or anything about his family. Big mistake

2. The separation of the protagonist with the secondary one. It really looked like they were divorced or something and they're teenagers for God's sake!

3. The revenge was never fulfilled and was totally predictable. If they wanted to portray bullying and the power of bullies, they did not succeed.

4. I really don't have much criticism of the actress's performance. I think that she did seem emotionless because she was raised that way, by her father. Even when she opens up to the protagonist she says that it is like that because she has been raised that way and she doesn't know how to act any other way, because of the terror she had of her father. But here there is a problem, I think I am going to disagree with some people but for me she did have chemistry with him ML, but not with his ex-partner.

5. Even though I managed to empathize with FL, her behavior towards her ex-boyfriend became frustrating for me. It was an extremely toxic relationship. He considered her "his", as if she were her property and did horrible things so that no one would come near her. He kept her isolated, like a toy belonging to her. And when ML wanted to go against her partner, she protected him and threatened the protagonist. She is really stupid, and gives an extremely dangerous message

6. "Revenge" was replaced by a failed love triangle.

7. "Emotional dependence." In the end she thanks her ex-boyfriend because according to her she was able to survive thanks to her. That is not surviving, it is emotionally depending on your partner to the point that the relationship became extremely toxic.

8. In the end the "revenge" came to nothing, with a very stupid resolution. What I liked.

1. In my opinion Lee Chae Min, he did a great job as an actor. He actually portrayed very well when he was pretending to be kind and how his features transformed when his hatred or contempt was reborn.

2. I really did see the chemistry between FL and ML, unfortunately this was spoiled thanks to the fact that FL was so obsessed with defending her ex-partner, which was extremely violent and toxic.

3. I think although I would have liked FL and ML to end up together. I think it was a good decision that she won't keep any of them. That she will confront her father, she will lose the fear that she had of him and she will abandon her life of luxury to go find her biological mother and she will decide to live a life without luxury. She needed to find herself and know what she really wanted for herself. You can't properly love anyone if you don't even know what you want or who you really are.

4. The imaging was really beautiful. You can tell they put a lot of budget into this drama but unfortunately if the plot seems like a jumble of things, that's not going to save the drama. In conclusion, I would say that the acting was decent but the drama was very poorly written. Many compare it to Elite, I haven't really seen it because I don't like series in Spanish, so I couldn't talk about that because I haven't seen Elite. I can only compare it to The Glory. The series really had potential but for me it is too greedy to want to create a similar plot with only 9 chapters. If the script had been well written and had 16 chapters, the story would have been different. Unfortunately it was not like that. Do I recommend it? I couldn't say. The first few episodes were interesting and I enjoyed them but if you are looking for a drama that addresses these themes and has romance, I really don't recommend it. And even more so when the obsession and justification for your partner being obsessive, very toxic and violent is highly romanticized.
