In the Korean drama “Pyramid Games,” there is a pyramid game run by classes 2–5 of Baekyeon Girls’ High School. The rule of the game is that whoever receives 0 votes during voting will be placed at level F and become a victim of bullying.
Within the rules, there are prohibitions that must not be violated. However, these violations have occurred, leading to punishment for the offenders. What are these violations? Here are three of them:
1. Cho Woo Ri Reveals Bullying Incidents to the Teacher
Footage of the drama Pyramid Game (doc. TVING/Pyramid Game)before the introduction of Seong Su Ji (Bona), this game led to the suffering of a student named Cho Woo Ri. She became the sole student at level F and endured bullying from Kim Da Yeon (Hwang Hyun Jung) and others.
One day, Cho Woo Ri reported the bullying behavior to the homeroom teacher. Unfortunately, the teacher exploited Cho Woo Ri’s statement as a means of blackmail against the perpetrators and their families.
In retaliation and for being considered a leaker, Cho Woo Ri received severe punishment. For instance, she was coerced into performing a striptease, which was recorded by Kim Da Yeon.
2. Seong Su Ji Threatens Level D to Merge into Level C
Footage of the drama Pyramid Game (doc. TVING/Pyramid Game)- In this pyramid game, there is an intriguing rule: anyone bullying level F without authorization must obtain permission from level A, otherwise, it’s considered a violation.
In Seong Su Ji’s case, when she aimed to dismantle the pyramid game, she coerced a level D ally to facilitate everyone’s ascent to level C. She used threats against Ju Seung I (Yoon Ga I) to achieve this, leveraging the threat of exposing his secret.
However, Ju Seung I had already allied with Baek Ha Rin (Jang Da Ah). They staged a suicide attempt, causing Seong Su Ji to lose her voting rights. Nonetheless, she retained the right to be elected.
3. Baek Ha Rin Is Accused of Disclosing the Pyramid Game to Parents
Footage of the drama Pyramid Game (doc. TVING/Pyramid Game)Following Ju Seung I’s staged suicide attempt, parents were present at the school. The commotion in the class drew their attention, and Baek Ha Rin ended up explaining the game to them.
As a result of her actions, Baek Ha Rin was deemed to have disclosed the game’s secret. Similar to Seong Su Ji, Ha Rin lost her voting rights but retained the right to be elected.
For those who choose to participate in Pyramid Games, it is strictly forbidden to violate the established rules. Any violation will inevitably lead to severe punishment. What are your thoughts?
