On February 6th, TVING unveiled the main poster and trailer of its new original series “Pyramid Game”. This is a drama about the survival of students in Class 2-5 of Baekyeon Girls’ High School being divided into perpetrators, victims, and bystanders and gradually falling into violence through a secret vote by selecting a person to be bullied once a month.
This work is arousing keen attention due to the first acting challenges of Jang Da-ah and Shin Seul-ki.
Jang Da-ah is three years older than Jang Won-young and she has been so famous among fans as Jang Won-young’s pretty sister even before her acting debut. Starting her career in the entertainment industry by signing an exclusive contract with King Kong by Starship last year, Jang Da-ah will play the role of Baek Ha-rin, a student in Class 2-5 who is loved by everyone, in “Pyramid Game”.
Rising to stardom after participating in Netflix’s “Single’s Inferno”, Shin Seul-ki is also challenging herself as an actress. She will appear as Seo Do-ah, the pyramid game host and the No.1 FM class president in school.
The released main poster of “Pyramid Game” stimulates curiosity with the appearance of students in Class 2-5 of Baekyeon Girls’ High School, where the cruel game takes place. Once a month, Class 2-5 needs to pick a person to be bullied through a secret vote. Upon her transfer, Sung Soo-ji (Kim Ji-yeon), who sits on the floor in the middle of the class, is in F grade, which is the lowest rank where there is nowhere else to go down. On the other hand, Baek Ha-rin (Jang Da-ah) sits on the table confidently with a relaxed smile because she’s in the high class.
Myung Ja-eun (Ryu Da-in), who is always in F grade, catches the eyes of viewers as she doesn’t even wear her school uniform properly. Seo Do-ah (Shin Seul-ki) and Lim Ye-rim (Kang Na-eon) are also in the high class as they sit on both sides with Baek Ha-rin in the middle.
The teaser video then raised the tension of drama fans by showing transfer student Sung Soo-ji stepping into the cruel survival. On the last Thursday of every month, Class 2-5 of Baekyeon Girls’ High School will vote for a person to be bullied through an app. The students call it “Pyramid Game”, but Sung Soo-ji notices that this system is used as a way to legalize bullying and harassment.
From the moment Sung Soo-ji is given F grade, reality becomes a nightmare. The violent survival among the students who try to protect themselves and prove their rank is scarier than they could imagine. In the middle of confusion, Baek Ha-rin comforts Sung Soo-ji, saying “It’s not your fault, Soo-ji ah”. Sung Soo-ji replies, “I have to find it…. the way to get rid of the F grade”, suggesting her rebellion to change instead of staying on the floor. Many viewers are looking forward to the official broadcast to see whether Sung Soo-ji will be able to break the pyramid.
Jang Da-ah and Shin Seul-ki’s debut drama “Pyramid Game” will premiere on February 29th.
