Netflix has been on a roll with its thrilling, original Korean dramas this year, but its latest must-watch K-drama Hierarchy combines the life-or-death stakes of shows like The 8 Show and The Glory with the rich-kids-behaving-badly vibe of Gossip Girl. The seven-episode drama, which landed on Netflix on June 7, follows the drama that fills the halls of Jooshin Academy, an ultra-elite high school that educates Korea’s 1 percent. Of course, prestigious schools like these always include a selection of scholarship students—what is Constance Billard-St. Jude's without a Little J or Dan Humphrey? But at Jooshin, scholarship kids who get on the bad side of the most popular students could face deadly consequences.
Hierarchy season 1 focuses on the arrival of Kang Ha (Crash Course in Romance actor Lee Chae-min), a confident brainiac who enters Jooshin on a mission to identify the killer of his fraternal twin brother, In-han (Kim Min-chul). By the end of the show, In-han's killer has been revealed, but there are still some shocking mysteries for the students of Jooshin to contend with in the future. Below, read on for everything to know about Hierarchy's chances for a second season.
