‘Hierarchy’ trailer begins on a chilly note and that sets the tone for a series wrapped in mystery and scandal. As news of a student’s death becomes public, tension grows and secrets slowly begin to unravel.
At Jooshin High School, the air is thick with privilege and hidden agendas. This elite playground is ruled by school queen Jung Jae-i (Roh Jeong-eui) and her boyfriend, Kim Ri-an (Kim Jae-won), known as the king. Their reign is unchallenged until Kang Ha (Lee Chae-min), a scholarship student with a vendetta, transfers in. Driven by revenge, his presence begins to disrupt the intricate web of relationships at the top. Alongside them, Yoon He-ra (Chi Hae-won) and Lee Woo-jin (Lee Won-jeong) complete the circle of exclusive students who govern the school.
The trailer also captures the tension-filled conflict between Ri-an and Kang Ha while teasing a shake-up in the school’s social order as Jae-i tells Ri-an she wants to break up. What chaos will this cause in their tightly-knit group?
