In the classroom of "Pyramid Game," rank isn't decided by grades — it's decided by a vote, and the number you're given can end your year before it starts.
What is Pyramid Game about?
Every student in this class is ranked by an anonymous, ongoing vote that sorts them into a rigid social pyramid, and everyone knows exactly where they stand. Those at the top get protection and status; those near the bottom become easy targets for exclusion and cruelty, while the ones in between have to decide how far they'll go to keep from sliding down. When one student is pushed to the very edge of the pyramid, the series follows how the group around her splits into attackers who drive the cruelty, victims who absorb it, and bystanders who could intervene but don't. "Pyramid Game" doesn't focus on a single villain; instead it tracks how an entire classroom sustains a system that hurts almost everyone in it, including the students who think they're safe near the top. The 2024 series builds tension episode by episode as alliances shift and the vote itself becomes a weapon.

Context & significance
"Pyramid Game" premiered in 2024 as part of a run of South Korean school dramas that examine peer cruelty and social hierarchy from the inside, told through the eyes of the students living it rather than the adults trying to fix it.
