After a long wait, WJSN Bona's much anticipated series "Pyramid Game" has finally made its debut to deliver a riveting narrative that appeals to the public.
Apart from entertainment, the show also aims to raise awareness about the rampant and never-ending school violence, class conflicts in society and more.
Sung Su Ji Comes To Hell
Due to his soldier father's nature of work, Sung Su Ji has attended a huge number of schools since she began her schooling. She now attends Baekyeon Girl's High School.
She becomes a student in Year 2 Class 5 but unfortunately, her classmates seem to be cold and unwelcoming. Their homeroom is also located at the weird, isolated part of the school.
She sits next to Myung Ja Eun (Ryu Da In) who's covered in bruises, suspecting that she's being bullied by the whole class. Because of this, she decides to avoid her.
As time passes by, Sung Su Ji notices the hierarchy inside the classroom. She plans to associate herself with the more popular girls.
The Pyramid Game
Although she has no clue, she joins the game called Pyramid Game, an app where one can vote for 5 students from the class and each can be placed in ranks A to D.
Sung Su Ji feels dejected when she receives zero votes, sending her to rank F. Unbeknownst to her, students in F can be legally bullied by the students from ranks A to D.
Unlike Myung Ja Eun who's not a daughter of a military father, she doesn't let anyone trample over her. She is then bullied, learning that by joining the game, she will face consequences.
Bang Woo Yi (Ha Yul Ri), Kim Da Yeon (Hwang Hyun Jung) and Goo Seol Ha (Choi Yoon Seo) beat her up, and even make her eat a cupful of earthworms.
The Mastermind
She realizes that it's impossible to survive in her school without putting up a fight, especially now that she's staying in Seoul for good after her father is deployed in the area for a long time.
With this, she decides to take down the system and find the perpetrator who came up with the game. Sung Su Ji then convinces Myung Ja Eun to pair up with her but the latter refuses.
Baek Ha Rin (Jang Da Ah), the class' princess, is the only nice person inside the room. However, Sung Su Ji suspects that the mastermind of the game is trying to camouflage herself.
Turns out that her suspicions are all correct as Baek Ha Rin is the one who burned Myung Ja Eun's palm with a burning cigarette at the back of the main building.
The Dream Team
It's also revealed that Baek Ha Rin chose Sung Su Ji as a replacement target for Myung Ja Eun. She keeps her thoughts and plans to herself to avoid being busted.
Sung Su Ji also plans to ask for help from the teachers but it turns out, most of them are also perpetrators who are scared of Baek Ha Rin, the daughter of the chairwoman of the school.
She also learns that the president of their classroom Seo Do Ah (Shin Seul Ki) is the daughter of the director of Seosim Hospital, and that her bullies are also conglomerates.
Thankfully, Sung Su Ji finally convinces Myung Ja Eun to help her in her plan, and promises that they will escape their ranks in no time.
