Hierarchy

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Hierarchy (2024, South Korea)

Director: Bae Hyeon Jin

Writer: Chu Hye Mi

Mini-review:

Oof, what a disappointment. I feel like this wanted to be one of those transgressive teen shows we get in the West, but then it didn't have the guts to go all the way and ended up being like any other kdrama about the rich and the poor. And even then, it's just not good at that either. The writing leaves a lot to be desired, and it gets more boring with every episode. The acting is also all over the place; some of the actors do a solid job, but most of them are mediocre or downright terrible. Tbh, there are two things that save this drama from disaster: firstly, the director adds a lot of style and flair to the proceedings; secondly, sometimes it's fun to see a bunch of super pretty people all together in one place. But still, there are a lot of shows where you can find those things with much better quality. I wouldn't recommend Hierarchy, unless you really love someone in the cast...

My Fellow Citizens

Synopsis:

Yang Jung Kook (Choi Si Won) is a veteran conman, but he has never been arrested. He meets Kim Mi-Young (Lee Yoo Young) and tells her that he runs a business while Kim Mi-Young is actually a Detective, but tells him that she works for a small company because her past relationships have failed because of her job. They develop a relationship romantically, and on their wedding day, Kim Mi-Young reveals to Yang Jung-Kook that she is actually a detective.

Meanwhile, Park Hoo Ja (Kim Min-Jung) runs a private loan business that she inherited from her father. Her father was swindled by Yang Jung-Kook, so now Park Hoo Ja blackmails him into running for a national assembly seat to ensure that legislation that benefits her is passed.

The Best Things About This Drama:

Everything

Park Kyung Hye

Everyone

5/5. This was just an all around GOOD drama. The pacing of the episodes were all great with good energy and interest; there were no slow points or drawing things out unnecessarily for dramatic purposes. The story was incredibly well thought out and planned and the editing and delivery kept you entertained, interested, and invested emotionally. They knew they had a good script and an excellent cast and let it all speak for itself.

Everyone on the cast delivered - there were no misses on this one in any way for me. Park Kyung Hye as Yang Jung-Kook (Choi Si-Won)'s sister very nearly stole every scene she was in, and would have gotten away with it if it weren't for everyone else being so damn good. Even Tae In Ho had me rolling with his unexpected comedic timing, but equally drew me in with his sincere and emotional deliveries.

Watching the relationship between Yang Jung-Kook (Choi Si Won) and Kim Mi-Young (Lee Yoo Young) evolve so organically was really interesting to see. Some people probably would have preferred that the romantic overtures were more emphasized, but I like the way they handled their relationship. It felt more sincere and mature and did justice to each of the characters.

This was just really fun to watch. It left you feeling like there were still good people in the world, and that redemption is possible. There it one line that Tae In Ho's character gives: "Since the day someone is born, that person cannot always live making only the right choices for their entire life." I really like how the emphasis is that we all have and will screw up and make the wrong choice, but that doesn't mean we can't start to make the right ones.

Dizi 10’ar dakikalık kısa bölümlerden oluşuyor. 3 farklı hikaye olarak seri yapılmış. Yine bir okul ödevi tadında kısacık eğlencelik minnak diziler. Her birinde tanıdığımız, sevdiğimiz oyuncuları görmemiz mümkün.

The Universe's Star;

Woo-Joo yetenekli bir şarkıcı-söz yazarıdır ve Byul-Yi ise bir ölüm meleğidir. Hayranı olduğu çocuğun hayatını alması için gönderilince aralarındaki romantizm dizinin konusu olur. Benim yorumum üçlemenin en pasif ve silik hikayesi buydu. Hikaye anlatmak istediği duyguları anlatabilecek kadar uzun olmadığı için izleyiciye pek bir şey geçmedi. Ama çok da ciddi bakmamak lazım tabi.

Romance Full of Life;

Çok uzun süredir polis memur sınavlarına hazırlanan So In-Sung  8 kez başarısız olmuştur. Buna rağmen hiç neşesini kaybetmemeye çalışır. Kız arkadaşı Wang So-Ra  ise artık onunda ayaklarının yere bastığını görmek ister. Aynı zamanda o da kendi içinde zor zamanlar geçirirken anlık bir kararla ilişkilerini bitirir. Dünyası yıkılan In-Sung  tesadüfen gördüğü  "Hayat Dolu Deney" isimli bir ilaç deneyine katılarak para kazanacağını düşünür.  

Bu hikayenin konusu ilginçti. Tamamen mükemmel insana dönüştüren bu hap ile yapay bir popülerlik kazanan karakterimizin aslında ne istediğini keşfetmesini anlatıyordu.

Queen of Ring;

Benim seriye başlama nedenim ve en eğlendiğim hikaye ise buydu. Aileden gelen genetik bir çirkinliğe sahip kısa boylu bir kız olan Mo Nan-Hee bir gün annesinin sırrını keşfeder. Ailesinde nesillerdir ailenin kadınlarına miras kalan bir yüzük vardır.  Yüzüğü sevdiğin kişinin sana takmasını sağladığında karşındaki kişi seni görmek istediği ideal güzellikte görmesini sağlıyordur. Babası gündüz işteyken yüzüğü annesinden ödünce alan kızımız okulda sevdiği erkeğe dünyanın en güzel kızı olarak görünür. Ancak yakışıklı çocuğumuz Park Se-Gun yüzüğün büyüsü ile yıllar önce karşılaşıp beğendiği bir kızın yüzünü görmektedir. İşte o kız bizim Nan-Hee’nin arkadaşıdır ve aynı okula kaydını yaptırınca işler karışır.

Hikayeler böyleydi. Üçü de yumuşak, kısa, keyifli zaman geçirten tatlı dizilerdi. Çok uzun konuşmaya gerek olduğunu düşünmüyorum. Sıkıldığınızda açıp 10dk bakıp kapatabileceğiniz, küçük bir kaçamak olarak düşünebilirsiniz.

Note: For this list, I decided not to add a symbol for shows that center queerness, because in a way all of these shows do that and at the same time almost none actually do. Queer characters and their love stories are featured in every show in this list, but most of them do not address any other queer aspects of their lives and only some address the fact that they are queer at all. This is not a critique of South Korean shows, but just an observation of their current media landscape and added as context, in case you are interested in watching.
