The webtoon titled Pyramid Game by Dalkkonyak was first released in 2020 and concluded in 2022. With popularity and a reader count of 15 million, it's no wonder TVING decided to adapt it into a Korean drama series with the same title. The webtoon version has 104 episodes, while the drama version will feature 10 episodes of an even more exciting story.
This Korean drama, which falls under the mystery and thriller genres, will tell the story of a mysterious game that takes place at Baekyon High School, involving only female students. The drama will address the issue of bullying that frequently occurs in South Korea. From the first episode, viewers can already see a scene where a student brandishes a weapon towards her classmates in a chaotic situation. Although this scene may be brief, a few months after the incident, the audience will be introduced to a transfer student named Sung Soo Ji, who becomes the main character in this drama.
In addition, the drama also portrays the harsh social inequality at Baekyon High School within the Pyramid Game. In the game, there are 4 main groups that represent the upper-class students who have great power or influence in the school. On the other hand, there are also groups of students who are often discarded, ignored, and frequently subjected to bullying. The dramatization will surely astonish the audience with its intrigue.
