Cheongdam International High School (2023)

It is one of those series you watch when you get bored.

It's a story about a poor girl in a rich society. She wants to be rich and liked by others but she wasn't. She cheats in many ways in her life and also faces the consequence. The other one( Yeri) is the richest girl in the school. She bullies the poor. She hates them because of her father's mistress. Her bullying seems to an extent. She just embarrasses them.



I have watched 8 episodes till now out of 10.

After 8th episode, the poor girl character is not so good. She strips for money. She becomes more shameless. Until then I liked her character. It just feels the main character does that.



I don't know if they are going for a second season. Because nothing is clear until now. I felt like the series is starting with the story. The main characters are just something. From the poster, I thought they are going to be friends.

It's just 2 episodes away. Let's see how it goes. I feel like it's going to be disappointment.

THIS DRAMA WAS DISAPPOINTING

This drama was the most stupid drama I have ever watched.




I honestly only started it because of some of the clips I saw on tiktok and YouTube shorts and because of Yeri but I was greatly mistaken
The FML at first she was okay and the first and second episode were fine but when she started acting like she did something good by posting other people's things and no one has the right to be angry at her that was just so off-putting this was in my opinion, the worst drama of 2023. What even annoys me the most is that she ruined that girl's interview I mean sure what she did wasn't good but that doesn't justify what you did as well, dhe acts like it is a sin to be born poor this drama was so utterly disappointing I couldn't even stand any more of it, it was so hard to watch and she just ruined everything for me and it even ended in a cliffhanger that is literally the worst

Meh - cliche teen drama

Melting pot of every rich high school drama cliche: entitled rich high schooler partying, drinking alcool, riding expensive bike, spending money without care, high school hierachy based on their parent money and of course bullying. School administration totally rotten by money.

Adding the suicide plot made if feels like a cheap web drama version of Sky Castel but written by an IA.

Even thought the episode are short , caracters could have been a bit more develop

On the plus side, for once the high schoolers are not played by 30ish old adults.

The acting isn't great, sometimes a bit forced but i'ven seen worst.

"Class of Lies" but in webdrama format

Exactly what the headline says..
It's you're everyday "poor girl takes down rich lunatics at school" trope. This drama really didn't stand out to me and I kept having to search the characters names online to see who theybwere talking about due to the unmemorable characters. ㅋㅋㅋ
If you've watched "Class of Lies" you'd completely understand and foresee how this drama ends. Except the acting doesnt immerse you into the plot. While I will say is the killer at the end was unexpected, All of the other characters are flat and their hatred is directed at Kim Hye In but for no reason at all. Even as you finish the drama you dond understand why they all hate her so much.

A solid 6.5 on a good day :)

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 .

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.

não tenho nem um titulo para dá, só alerta bomba

eu me enganei muito achando que seria uma high school clichezinha e boazinha de ver até porque é poucos episódios e pouca duração, mas acho que acabou virando o maior problema da serie...

nenhum personagem é legal ou interessante você fica bem 'tanto faz'' com o que vai acontecer e as coisas não tendo explicações ou só resolve e quando resolve não explica ou nem mostra direito e tudo muito porco

que roteiro porco e preguiçoso e o final pegando continuidade? zero motivos, espero que não tenha
não vale a pena atuações a baixo da media também.

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.☺️☺️

confuso, mas bom

Gostei. Vi muita resenha negativa, talvez começaram o drama esperando muita coisa, daí caíram do cavalinho. É bem interessante, a cada episódio você está torcendo por alguém diferente ou xingando alguém diferente. Não tem essa de torcer pra mocinha e querer a morte da vilã, até porque nesse k-drama não tem nenhuma mocinha (talvez, só a amiga da prota) só tem personagem podre aqui. Enfim, espero que tenha uma 2° temporada porque o final terminou SUPER aberto, que foi um dos motivos pra eu não dar um 10 pro drama. P.s: dou 10 pra qualquer programa que me mantém entretida, então não acho que minha opinião valha para alguém que é bastante crítico kkkkkkkkkk

Trying to Like It, But Nope: 'Bitch X Rich' Review

I really wanted to enjoy this show, but it's just not happening. The acting is way too over-the-top, and some of the actors are just not cutting it. I won't call anyone out, but there's this one actress who's just not convincing – it feels like she's reading from a script on autopilot.

I get that it's fiction, but some of the character choices are just plain dumb. And can we talk about that scene where Kim Hye In jumps off the first floor to escape bullies and magically gets caught by a guy? Seriously? It's too much, even for a make-believe story. Come on, let's aim for some realism here!

Overall, the show falls short, and the weird moments make it hard to get into. It's a letdown, and I wish it lived up to the hype, but it's just not working for me.

A premissa inicial de Bitch X Rich me lembrou um pouco Boys Over Flower. Uma garota pobre recebe uma bolsa de estudo em um colégio de elite após testemunhar um suicídio no colégio. Mas as semelhanças acabam por aí, pois Kim Hey In não tem nada a ver com a Jan Di. Aliás, na verdade, ela é uma personagem bem antipática ao primeiro olhar.

No colégio onde originalmente ela estuda, Hey In começa a mentir para seus colegas sobre ser rica postando fotos com objetos de luxo nas redes sociais. Para isso ela usa o quarto e objetos pessoais de uma garota rica para quem ela dá aulas de reforço. Porém, quando sua farsa é descoberta pela garota, esta passa a humilhá-la até que Hey In farta das humilhações decide se vingar jogando literalmente um balde de água fria nela na entrevista de admissão no prestigiado colégio Cheongdam. O que obviamente termina muito mal para Hey In. Depois ela tenta fazer com que o diretor admita a garota no colégio e é assim que ela acaba presenciando um aparente "suicídio", ela viu que tinha mais alguém na cena. Assim, o diretor oferece uma bolsa de estudos para calá-la.

Kim Hey In poderia ser a nova vítima perfeita, só que ela não é. Estou gostando desta nova tendência dos dramas escolares onde a mocinha não é tão altruísta e boazinha, mas também tem personalidade duvidosa, pois assim quando ela leva na cabeça, ela revida. Inicialmente não tinha gostado da protagonista, mas depois de ver ela enfrentando todos no colégio de igual para igual passei a simpatizar com ela e inesperadamente acabei gostando bem mais do drama do que achei que gostaria no início.

Os 10 episódios do drama solucionam em parte o mistério do "suicídio" e quem foi o responsável, porém termina num suspense que sugere uma segunda temporada. Gostaria muito que essa segunda temporada se tornasse realidade pois muitos subenredos ficaram em aberto e tiveram dois grandes ganchos para uma continuação. Torcendo para ver isso!
