“Pyramid Game” is a favorite among Korean drama enthusiasts, and one character that garners attention is Myung Ja Eun (Ryu Da Eun), a classmate of Sung Soo Ji (Bona WJSN) in Class 2-5 of Baekyeon High School.
Initially depicted as reserved, Myung Ja Eun’s life takes a turn when Sung Soo Ji witnesses her being mistreated by Bang Woo Yi (Ha Yul Ri), Kim Da Yeon (Hwang Hyun Jung), and Koo Seol Ha (Choi Yoon Seo) in the school warehouse. After the bullies depart, Sung Soo Ji steps in to assist Myung Ja Eun.
As time progresses, Myung Ja Eun undergoes significant character development, largely thanks to her own determination and the support of Sung Soo Ji. These changes become evident in episodes 5 and 6. So, what exactly are the transformations in Myung Ja Eun’s demeanor? Let’s delve into them below!

However, with Sung Soo Ji’s entrance into her life, Myung Ja Eun’s outlook begins to shift. Initially, Sung Soo Ji approaches her to form an alliance against the game system. Despite Myung Ja Eun’s repeated refusals, she eventually warms up to Sung Soo Ji, particularly after witnessing his plight in Class F.
Gradually, Myung Ja Eun becomes more at ease conversing with Sung Soo Ji and endeavors to forge connections with other peers, aiming to secure votes to avoid falling into Class F.
2. Asserting Herself

However, with Sung Soo Ji’s influence, Myung Ja Eun begins to assert herself. For instance, when Baek Ha Rin orders her to join the lowest class to face physical abuse, Sung Soo Ji prompts Myung Ja Eun to express her refusal directly to Baek Ha Rin, which she does without hesitation.
3. Asserting Her Presence

During a dodgeball game, unable to tolerate Pyo Ji Ae (Kim Se Hee) being targeted repeatedly, Myung Ja Eun intervenes to shield her, demonstrating a kind-hearted nature. This act not only earns her peers’ recognition but also elevates her status among them.
Sung Soo Ji’s impact on Myung Ja Eun’s life proves profound, offering her a sense of security and empowerment against Baek Ha Rin’s harassment. As the series progresses, viewers are left to wonder what further changes Myung Ja Eun will undergo. Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes of “Pyramid Game”!
