Certainly, 2024 has emerged as one of the most prolific years for Korean series on streaming services. A testament to this is “Hierarchy,” the romantic drama that skyrocketed to the top of Netflix‘s global chart just three days after its release, as reported by FlixPatrol.

Produced by Studio Dragon Corporation, a key Korean partner of the #1 streamer, the show joins a catalog already filled with other beloved titles provided by the Asian entertainment company such as “Crash Landing on You” and “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.”

Following the trend of similar productions, it quickly captivated viewers, prompting many to binge-watch the show and complete it within hours. Although it received mixed reviews, most agree that it offers an interesting twist on the high school genre.

‘Hierarchy’ became the fourth most-watched series on Netflix worldwide

Korean high school dramas, particularly those with a dark twist, always generate immense interest. So, it’s no surprise to see the recently released “Hierarchy” reaching the Top 4 series worldwide on Netflix.

Remarkably, it has even surpassed “Bridgerton,” despite the latter experiencing intense rewatches due to the upcoming second part of its third season. Currently, it’s engaged in a neck-and-neck race with “Raising Voices” for the third spot on the chart, with a high likelihood of overtaking it.

Set in Jooshin High School, an extremely prestigious institution, “Hierarchy” depicts a disruption of peace when a new scholarship student enters the scene, unsettling the delicate balance between the elite and the rest. As expected in Korean dramas of this nature, the high-status students are irritated with this intrusion and will do anything to eliminate it.

Similar to “Elite,” the series boasts a star-studded cast that will explore themes of love, friendship, and revenge: No Jeong-ee, Lee Chae-Min, Kim Jae-Won, Ji Hye-Won, and more.

With a promising post-credits scene hinting at a second season, anticipation is already building. Stay tuned for updates on its release date.
