I wasn't as emotionally invested in Pyramid Game and its characters as I thought I would be because the characterisation was quite lacking. Someone wrote in their review on MDL that everything is "watered down" and I couldn't agree more. Although I did enjoy this drama (since I was able to finish it), it lacked nuances and layers. I won't dive too deep here but there's something that I found bothering.
School violence is strongly condemned and the drama emphasises the fact that being a bystander is as reprehensible as being a bully so how come domestic abuse is so easily glossed over?
No comment on how cruel Da Yeon is but I was utterly shocked by the domestic abuse she was a victim of. The fact that we never see her again after that scene where her father brings his golf club to her bedroom. Are we supposed to think that he killed her? To leave the viewers like that... I don't mind open-endings but this is too much.
#On another note some people compare this drama to Weak Hero Class 1 but I don't see the resemblance beside the fact that both#dramas address the topic of school violence#The characters are completely different and so are the stakes#I never got the same vibe while watching the two dramas although I instinctively looked for similarities when I started watching PG#Ye Rim and Eun Jung though :((( I'm always grateful for the sapphic rep we get but I wish their story was more developped#*what's on Liz's mind#ofc this is just my opinion and you're welcome to disagree
