Woo-jin, Ri-an, He-ra and Jae-i aren’t exactly…

Woo-jin, Ri-an, He-ra and Jae-i aren’t exactly great characters but yet we’ve seen so many montages of their friendship and romances that it feels completely ill-fitting. I don’t know about you guys but I genuinely could not care less about these people.Why should we care about these guys when they’re all scheming and horrible to each other? The show feels like it’s stuck between being a conventional K-drama with familiar plot beats and a more sinister drama like Elite where there’s a balance of good and bad characters.The ensuing result is a bit of a mess, and the dragged out scenes between Ri-an and Jae-i are a great example of this. It’s hard to care about their “romance” when the real crux of the issue should be finding what happened to In-han.As we reach the finale, it’s clear that this experiment in Hierarchy hasn’t quite worked, which is a shame because the show does have a lot of potential but it’s been squandered.
