I didin't like it too much

I watched this Drama because of a lot of good reviews, but for me it was an average tv show. Let's start with the fact that no one recognized the main character who only put on makeup, which is funny to me. The heroine was terribly annoying, sometimes it was impossible to watch.
THE ENDING:
Su Ho left for 2 years, didn't speak for so long, and Ju Gyeong came back to him right away when he arrived and suddenly a happy ending for everyone. I feel bad for Seo Jun who was around her for so long and she didn't appreciate it. I usually don't watch love triangles because it's usually the case that the other man is much better than the main character.
I liked this kdrama for the first few episodes, but the more I watched the more I didn't like it anymore. I finished out of compulsion because I don't like to abandon tv shows.
I know the drama is based on a weebtoon that I haven't read, but if it looks like this tv show then I definitely wouldn't like it.

“Hierarchy” – Promising Concept, Poor Execution

Overall Rating: 6/10

“Hierarchy” promised an intriguing plot with its premise set in the elite social circles, reminiscent of “Elite” from Netflix. However, while the idea had great potential, the execution left much to be desired.

First and foremost, condensing such a drama into just seven episodes was a significant misstep. The storyline had the foundation to be much more engaging if given at least twelve episodes to develop. The current format felt rushed and incomplete, failing to deliver a satisfying experience.

Characters and Development

The characters in “Hierarchy” were disappointingly shallow. There was a noticeable lack of depth and complexity, which made it difficult to form any meaningful connection with them. The interactions between characters were devoid of chemistry, leaving the relationships feeling forced and unconvincing.

The main character, who had the potential to be a strong lead, did little to earn the audience’s sympathy or admiration. The plot’s conclusion was particularly lackluster, with the final episode wrapping up so quickly that it was hard to register that it was indeed the end. This abruptness left a lot of unresolved issues and did not provide the closure that viewers look for in a drama.

Comparison to "Elite"

Comparing “Hierarchy” to “Elite,” it’s clear that it falls short. “Hierarchy” felt like a diluted version of its counterpart, missing the intense character dynamics and gripping plot twists that made “Elite” so compelling. The drama tried to mimic the high-stakes, glamorous world of the elite but failed to bring the same level of intrigue and engagement.

Production and Acting

On a positive note, the production quality was commendable. The lavish settings, luxurious houses, and high-end cars did add to the visual appeal of the series. The aesthetics of the upper class were well-portrayed, creating an attractive backdrop for the story. However, this alone was not enough to compensate for the weak narrative and character development.

The acting, unfortunately, was another letdown. It lacked the intensity and emotion necessary to elevate the script, resulting in performances that felt flat and uninspired.

Soundtrack

One of the redeeming aspects of “Hierarchy” was its soundtrack. The music was well-chosen and complemented the scenes effectively, adding an extra layer of atmosphere to the drama. It was one of the few elements that stood out positively.

Final Thoughts

“Hierarchy” had the potential to be an engaging drama with its intriguing premise and visually appealing production. However, its rushed pacing, shallow characters, and unsatisfying conclusion left much to be desired. While it’s a quick watch, it’s unlikely to leave you feeling fulfilled. For fans of dramas set in the world of the wealthy and elite, it might be worth a look for the visuals alone, but don't expect to be captivated by the storyline or characters.

Overall, “Hierarchy” is a drama with a lot of missed opportunities. With a stronger lead and more episodes to flesh out the plot, it could have been much more impactful. As it stands, it’s an average series that’s visually pleasing but ultimately falls short in delivering a compelling narrative.

Destroyed potential

The drama got off to a good start, but the more I watched, the more bored I got. I really like it when the action happens in prison, so the beginning was very interesting, especially since nobody knew who Big Mouse was. When the law came out, I was disappointed because I expected something else, and it was predictable after a few episodes.
I’m a little surprised because I really like dramas where Lee JongSuk is the main character and I always watch the episodes on a regular basis, and here it took me almost a year to watch it.
I don't know about the others but I didn't like the show, the other half is just boring and hard to watch. When I started watching it, I thought it would be one of the better dramas, but I was a little disappointed.

Great melodrama

I've been planning to watch this drama for 4 years and somehow couldn't get around to it. Recently I was looking for something to make me sad and I found it. Great acting, full of drama, mysteries, death, murders, crime story and Seo In Guk in the main role. In my opinion he played the role very well. There were some things that I didn't understand too much, especially that they completely forgot about the first murder. After all, the main character was also involved in that murder, so why didn't they do anything about it. I also don't understand why Jin Gook stabbed Moo Young back then if he felt so sorry for him. Perhaps he was afraid that Jin Kang would find out about her past? I don't know because it wasn't explained.I fell pain when because of a stupid joke about Jin Kang being Moo Young's sister, it ruined everything. But on the other hand, I really like it because I like to feel that way while watching tv shows. I'm very happy with the ending, it made me sad and cry, which is what I was looking for. It's just a pity that I watched it after such a long time and missed a really good drama.
