Cheongdam International High School (2023)

Point of the point is...

...that there is no point.
Food analogy: Underbaked lasagna
It literally had everything at it's disposable to make it a very gripping story and a great cast. What it lacked was execution. Shifting attention from one point to another without any real reason making the script feel loose.

I love stories that explore human beings as grey because, no one makes right decisions all the time, but still the bonds were poorly developed. It felt like they were keeping materials to themselves, so that they can make a second season purposefully.
Now, there really is genuine need of a second season because trust me when i say, none, not a single thread has been tied. It's a inconclusive loose end pro max ultra.

But nevertheless, the series is really short, watch if you have nothing else to do and want to tickle your mind slightly.

I don't know why many people don't like this drama?

After watching 9th and 10th ep i feel the writer is not that bad. Everyone know, Woo jin's GF is the real culprit .
Park woo jins Girlfriend is the one who try to kill Hye in because her boyfriend cheated on her and slept with Hye in ?, even Hye in is not innocent she is blackmailing Woo jin and Ji Naa because she wanted to become rich ?
So easy to understand ✌️

The best things i like about this drama is the bond between Ji Na and Hye in ❤... they just played their character very well . I love that scene in which Hye in crying on road and Ji na stop her car . The conversations between them are like best friends who support and try to help each other?.

I only have sympathy with Do Eon because He is the one who think his Girlfriend Hye in is victim and innocent one but She Is NOT ? ..Poor Do Eon ?

The storyline, filled with thriller, mystery, youth, and drama elements, had me hooked from the first episode. The plot was intriguing, keeping me on the edge of my seat as I tried to unravel the mysteries surrounding the characters.

The drama's fast-paced nature and unpredictable twists made it an enjoyable and engaging watch. I particularly appreciated the way it delved into the lives of the young protagonists, showcasing their struggles and growth throughout the series. The main cast did a commendable job in portraying their characters, making them relatable and genuine.

However, I must admit that I felt slightly let down by the last episode. It seemed to lack the same intensity and satisfaction as the rest of the drama. The conclusion felt rushed and left some loose ends untied, leaving me with unanswered questions. I wished for a more satisfying resolution to the captivating storyline that had been built up so well throughout the series.

Despite the somewhat disappointing ending, "Bitch X Rich" is still a worthwhile watch. The earlier episodes are packed with excitement and suspense, easily overshadowing the slight shortcomings of the final episode. If you're a fan of thrilling and mysterious dramas with a touch of youth and drama, this series might just be the perfect fit for you.

Bitch x Rich (2023) – this drama is pointless, at first I can see a lot of clips on my tiktok and got curious because most of the viewers are rooting for the villain, more likely the so called villain in the series. The actors playing the characters are also not that strong in terms of acting skills, maybe because they are new faces in drama world. The series that ends with a cliffhanger didn’t really justify the whole process of what happened throughout the entire drama. This drama is not my type but I finished it since its short. I don’t know if I should watch the next season but I don’t have the drive to go through the next season if ever there is any.

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama " Bitch X Rich " is a school melodrama with an edgy plot. However, it gets more makjang than a mystery solving series.

The drama has a relaxing pace, which was okay at first, but didn't serve it well in the end. When things were starting to wrap up, the drama rushed things and gave the story a questionably open ending.

Also, the drama was too melodramatic at times. The twists were predictable as well and most of the characters were annoying, even the main one, though one should appreciate her brutal honesty when it came to her situation and her fighting spirit. But you could see that her choices turned into unavoidable disasters one by one.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable enough.

So, overall, three out of ten.

A show about a teen girl who constantly makes bad decisions against her own judgement

It was interesting in the beginning, but it took a downward turn for the worst and the story was being rushed. There were plot twists, but not real character development or lessons to be learned.

They could've made a great ending, but they left it open for possibly another season. I believe the writers got lazy when it came to arguments and bringing the story to a close. No hate towards the cast, they seem like they could've played out a better written plot and script.

The music was weird, like some songs seemed random for the outro or off theme for the show. I was honestly trying to get to the next episode to finish off this Kdrama.

If you watch this, think of it as something to watch while you wait for other anticipated Dramas.

My opinion for now is that it's not bad actually but it's not that good .
I am saying this according to my standers.
The drama that i can't rewatch , is not good for me .
I liked the realism in it . you cannot say that anyone is a good person .
Actually from the first sight you can say that everyone is trash.
cause of there shity decisions but they are just humans .
A hoplees ones like most of us i guess .
That's also the reason i can't rewatch it.
i really can't see them do this over and over again . My blood pressure can't handle it especially the FL .
The thing that really couldn't handle it was her last stupid . I mean with this she showed all the red flags you should avoid in a person more that the villainess but i still liked this throught .
And really don't understand the motivate for the psycho against the fl i hope they clear that or that will be too much .

The cast was very good, their acting was also so good.
The storyline is also nice which about poor girl going to a rich high school and how she survive school's bully. How she dream about becoming rich. She is very strong & smart, know how to handle a bully.


The school has it's own secrets, the suspense was good and it ends with cliffhanger.


Can't wait for season 2 if the director is thinking about it.☺️☺️

I don't know what title to give this

Well I saw negative reviews before I started watching it because I was actually looking for something to watch and this drama came up. I said "well I'll give it a chance, maybe I'll like it and it won't be so bad."

It's not bad but it's not good either.
I mean that all the protagonists here are garbage, morally speaking.

I mean, the protagonist is so stupid. What's wrong with not being rich? Why do you always blame your bad decisions with the excuse that you are poor?

I know that in Korea people really die to buy brand name things, if you don't have them you're trash. I've talked to Koreans and believe me the only brand they know is Chanel. They have a very big obsession with that brand and having things from that brand. I have seen Korean influencers who only upload their bags, their shoes, their earrings or anything that is Chanel.
Also a guy asked me what brand my cell phone was, I told him it was Samsung. When I told him that, he was surprised and he told me why don't you have an iPhone? I was a little confused at that time, because Samsung is a very famous brand and it is from Korea. So I asked a close Korean friend about this and she said "believe it or not, people who use Samsung are considered poor" and I was like "What the hell? It's just a damn cell phone." Here in my country it has also become popular that you should use iPhone. So maybe I can try to understand why the protagonist is so obsessed with appearing rich.

But come on, you're stupid and it's not because you're poor.
There really aren't any plot twists that you don't assume are going to happen. Nothing is really surprising.

Plus I don't understand why they all end up sleeping with Yeri's friend's boyfriend, if they don't even really like him.

I don't see a clear "hierarchy" between poor or rich people.
Besides, the school is a park or what? How can you be at school at night, like it's a public park or something lol.

Clearly there are things too absurd, so much so that he came to consider this as a Makjae.

It was obvious, and with how short the drama is, that nothing was going to have a final resolution. So I knew they were doing this to make a second season.

Which I really won't see. It's not worth it because FL has no personal growth at any time. At no point does he think that he should change those silly ideas in his head.

Furthermore, he also did not fully understand why if you are not rich you want to go to a rich school. You really don't have to be very smart to know that if you go to a rich school, you will be treated like trash.

I had a boyfriend who had a double life. He loved having expensive things and surrounding himself with people who were rich. But none of his "friends" had seen his house. According to him, because his house was poor and had damp stains on the wall. I always thought his house was nice, but that's when I discovered that he lied compulsively about what his lifestyle was like. He was 27 years old at the time, I was 20 years old. But he wanted a great job, with a position "that was right" for him and to earn a lot of money. But he didn't even leave his house to look for a job lol
(and no, it wasn't Korean).

So I never really understood and will never understand that need to want to go to a rich school or university. Sooner or later the truth will come out that you are lying.

And honestly, I have studied in private schools. Not because I wanted to, but because my parents thought I would have "a better education." I really ended up shying away from going to those schools because if they found out you were there for a scholarship, they would treat you like shit.

And I'm not rich, I just come from a very hard-working family. So when I had to go to university, I preferred it to be one where there were people like me. That they did not come from upper middle class or high class families.

So i'm didn't really understand that thought.

The performances were decent, not great but not bad either.

The cinematography was not something that stood out either. It was average. And the music didn't match the drama.

So there is nothing meaningful to see in this drama. In the pyramid game, there were also only 10 episodes and some of the protagonists were their debut roles and they did it as if they had been working in the industry for a long time.
And he achieved what he had to fix, without illogical things involved and well-constructed characters.

I recommend it? I really doubt it. Although the drama is short, it is boring and the plot is extremely stupid. I think your time would be better spent watching a much better drama than this one.
