Pyramid Game is a 10-part Korean drama series that follows students at an all-girls school who soon find themselves tormented by a ranking system based on social status.
All those in the A ranking are considered to be the "best", with this one going to the most popular students, then the letters go up to F, which is the lower category made up of those who are considered to be the "worst". Naturally, this has some pretty nasty repercussions.
The series is directed by Bak So Yeon (The Heavenly Idol) and written by Choi Sui. It also marks the third project developed by Paramount Plus and TVING, following on from titles such as Bargain and A Bloody Lucky Day.
