Hierarchy season 2, if it happens, would have to revisit the love triangle between Kang Ha, Ri-an, and Jae-i The show focused more on a love triangle than a revenge plot, causing controversy Hierarchy's post-credits scene was a massive cliffhanger.

If Hierarchy season 2 happens, it will have to revisit the high school K-dramas most controversial storyline. One of many Netflix original K-dramas, Hierarchy premiered as a limited series about a scholarship students mission to expose everything that was happening at Jooshin Academy. Despite its status as the countrys top school, Jooshin let bullying systematically happen and rewarded a twisted culture of high-class students being favored over scholarship ones. Although Hierarchys ending was self-contained and wrapped up the show, its post-credits scene was a major cliffhanger that set up a sequel.

Hierarchy season 2 has not been confirmed as of the writing of this article. Plenty of limited series ended up returning for...

Hierarchy has love triangles, murder mysteries, and secrets, poised to be Netflix's next teen drama hit. Kang Ha infiltrates Jooshin Academy, seeking answers about his brother's death, facing bullying and a love quadrangle. Hierarchy, while not flawless, is a solid high school K-drama.

Hierarchy is Netflixs new high school K-drama, and I believe it can become the streamers next major hit, especially if it returns for season 2. Netflix has become the home to some of my favorite K-dramas of recent years, from original titles like Love Alarm and Squid Game to licensed shows like Queen of Tears and The Atypical Family. Although there are a lot of K-drama genres, high school dramas are usually among the most successful Korean series on Netflix.

Even shows that would not necessarily be described as high school stories often use this particular setting, one major example being All of Us Are Dead. As such,...

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Hierarchy.

Kang Ha led the fight against the elite families at Jooshin, aiming to expose the school's corrupt system, and he succeeded. Jae-i's mysterious character and background made her the most intriguing lead in Hierarchy, with secrets and complex relationships. Woo-jin's hidden relationship with Ji-soo and involvement in In-han's death were also a major part of the show.

Hierarchys five main characters were all full of secrets and hidden agendas, but some of the K-drama's protagonists were more interesting than others. The newest Netflix K-drama saw Kang Ha executing his revenge after the mysterious death of his brother, who had entered Jooshin High School thanks to a scholarship program. Hierarchys cast includes a lot of promising young actors who perfectly brought their characters to life in one of the most anticipated K-dramas of 2024. While Hierarchy had flaws, its characters were a highlight of the show.

Warning: This article includes Spoilers for Hierarchy.

Jae-i's love triangle with Kang Ha and Ri-an was complicated by guilt and unresolved feelings, leading to a complex finale. Hierarchy resolved the mystery around Kang Ha's brother's death, allowing the characters to rebuild relationships. Jae-i decided not to choose between Ri-an and Kang Ha, focusing instead on herself and reconnecting with her mother at the end.

Hierarchy, Netflix's newest K-drama web series, followed a very intense love triangle involving Kang Ha, Ri-an, and Jae-in, the last of which was facing a very difficult moment while also having to sort out her feelings. Despite being a thriller K-drama with a lot of twists, Hierarchy also had time for love stories. Jae-i and Ri-ans breakup at the beginning of episode 1 leads into one of the shows biggest mysteries what happened to Jae-i during her time in the United States. Although the series eventually answered that question,...

The cast of Hierarchy brings Netflixs newest K-drama to life with a mixture of established names and rising stars. Hierarchy combines revenge K-drama tropes with a high school story where one student has to go against an entire institution. There have been some great K-dramas on Netflix recently, with Hierarchy now joining the list of original web series released exclusively on the streaming platform. Whether Hierarchy season 2 will happen is difficult to say, but the show was originally described as a limited series.

Hierarchy episode 7s ending includes a major cliffhanger that could be revisited in a potential season 2. Regardless, Hierarchy tells a...

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Hierarchy episode 7.

Hierarchy season 2 seems inevitable after episode 7's cliffhanger, setting up a new murder mystery. The epilogue hints that Kang Ha may be the next suspect, but it could also be a red herring. Season 2 would bring major changes - new mysteries and potential new villains.

Hierarchy season 2 has not been confirmed, but episode 7s post-credits scene means the K-drama needs to continue despite its limited series status. The newest Netflix original K-drama followed Kang Has quest for revenge as he infiltrated the Jooshin High School to investigate his brothers death. Kang Ha slowly exposed all the cruelty, bullying, and violence that was happening at the school, yet he also fell in love with Jae-i in the process. Hierarchy is a revenge K-drama, but the story has the potential to go beyond that now that In-hans killer, Ji-soon, has been arrested.

While...

Hierarchy's post-credits scene sets up a new murder mystery, leaving room for season 2. Kang Ha's revenge leads to the revelation of the school's toxic environment and arrests for In-han's murder. Jae-i chooses to rebuild her life with her mother.

Hierarchy episode 7 concluded Netflixs newest K-drama series with surprising redemptions and major twists, including a post-credits scene that sets up season 2. Thought to be Netflixs Elite replacement, Hierarchy ended up being closer to Pretty Little Liars as it combined the high school genre murder mystery tropes. While Hierarchy can be described as a revenge K-drama, Kang Ha only confirms who killed his brother toward the end of the show. Still, Hierarchys finale makes it clear that, while Professor Ji-soo was the one who killed In-han, virtually everyone at the school was to blame for what happened.

After...

If you’re going into Hierarchy expecting a rush of emotions and a high-speed narrative that’ll keep you guessing, then I’ll tell you right off the bat: don’t bother watching it. The series, meant to be the Korean version of Elite, doesn’t even live up to older K-dramas that explore similar themes in a much more engaging manner. Hierarchy is plain boring, and there’s simply nothing that makes the ending worth the 7-episode wait. Hierarchy tells the story of a 17-year-old boy named Kang-Ha, who is a new scholarship student at an elite school in South Korea, obviously considered the best school there; however, there’s a morbid motive behind Kang-Ha’s presence at the school—revenge. Now, when you hear this premise, you’re thinking, I’ve already seen a dozen shows like this, or that this sounds rather interesting despite it being a...

With Elite ending in 2024, Netflix's new show Hierarchy is set to be the perfect replacement, focusing on wealthy high school students. Hierarchy, a South Korean drama, shares dark tones with Elite, exploring mature themes like class differences and violence among teenagers. Expect Hierarchy to be graphic, intense, and dramatic, diving deep into issues such as the wealth gap, making it a strong contender for Elite's spot.

Among Netflix's cache of popular streaming hits, the Spanish teen drama, Elite, is a favorite and has run for seven seasons so far, with an eighth and final season coming in 2024, which means that, unsurprisingly, Netflix has a similar show, a k-drama called Hierarchy, set to replace it. Since 2018, Elite has told the story of a group of working-class students who attend an elite fictional high school in Spain called Las Encinas. The series follows their social and romantic relationships, along with controversial issues such as homosexuality,...
