Pyramid Game

Pyramid Game: A Brutal Ranking System in a South Korean High School

Zero to Hero or Zero to Nothing?

Sung Su Ji, a new transfer student at Baekyeon Girls High School, finds herself at the bottom of the social ladder after scoring zero in the school's brutal ranking system known as "Pyramid Game." With Kim Ji-yeon, Jang Da-ah, Kang Na-eon, and Shin Seul-ki at the top, this hierarchy determines everything from social status to opportunities within the school.

The Pyramid's Grip

Every month, students cast their votes in a popularity poll that reshuffles the pyramid. Those at the bottom, like Su Ji, face isolation and ostracism, while those at the top enjoy prestige and influence. This ruthless system creates a constant cycle of competition and backstabbing among the students.

Playing the Game

As Su Ji struggles to survive at the bottom, she witnesses the devastating consequences of the pyramid game firsthand. Students bully those below them to maintain their status, and rumors spread like wildfire, destroying reputations in an instant. Through it all, Su Ji grapples with her own insecurities and the desire for validation.

In a chilling conclusion, the pyramid game leaves an indelible mark on the school and its students. It exposes the dark side of society and the lengths people will go to for power and acceptance. As the series draws to a close, the consequences of the pyramid game serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of conformity and the importance of individual worth.
