00:00:00Alright, so picture this. It's Suji's very first day at her new school, and she's already in
00:00:05trouble. Late bell? Yep. Did she forget her name tag? Double yep. Busted by the hall monitor
00:00:12before she even sets foot in a classroom. Luckily, she excuses herself to come to the rescue.
00:00:17She is new too, and she smooth talks the monitor, claiming she has an appointment with the homeroom
00:00:22teacher. Little white lie, as it turns out. No appointment. Just quick thinking. As Suji's
00:00:28heading up the stairs. Bam! Another student bumps into her, stepping on her foot in the process.
00:00:34Lots of apologies, and directions to the teacher's office. Room 52 on the fourth floor. But how did
00:00:40this girl know Suji was even looking for a teacher? Hmm. Suspicious. Suji's homeroom teacher, Mr. M,
00:00:46is super friendly, but the other teachers? They're giving her some serious side-eye. Mr. M leads Suji
00:00:52to a separate building, built just last year. The main building is overcrowded, so Suji's class,
00:00:58A5 is out here in their little world. This is Suji's first all-girls school, but she's no stranger
00:01:03to being the new kid. Her dad's in the military, so moving is practically a family hobby. She's
00:01:08practically a pro at fitting in. But something feels off about this class. They greet her with icy
00:01:14stares and a whole lot of scrutiny. Suji takes the only empty seat next to a girl, who's basically
00:01:20passed out on her desk. When Suji wakes her, as instructed by the teacher, she meets Jiayun.
00:01:25Then, this girl's got a permanent scowl, bruises, and bandages all over her arms and legs. And
00:01:31gives Suji the cold shoulder when she tries to be friendly. And Jiayun storms off, when
00:01:36a few other girls try to chat with Suji. So let's talk about the other girls in the class.
00:01:40There's Yi Rim, a trainee at an entertainment company, about to make her debut as a pop star.
00:01:46Think of her as the school's resident celebrity. Then there's Due, the four-eyed, short-haired
00:01:51class president, and the school's biggest brainiac. And finally, Ha Rin, the princess,
00:01:56fluent in French, and a ballet prodigy. Suji catches a whiff of cigarette smoke coming from
00:02:01Jiayun, and decides this is someone she should probably steer clear of. She focuses on making
00:02:06friends with the other girls. They're actually pretty nice, surprisingly. But weird stuff keeps
00:02:11happening. Like, Suji never sees any other classes in the cafeteria, at lunchtime. Ever.
00:02:17The next day, Suji accidentally stumbles upon a group of girls, bullying Jiayun in a storage
00:02:23room. They're shoving her, kicking her, the whole nine yards. Jiayun just lies there and
00:02:28takes it. When the bullies finally leave, Suji comforts her and gives her some bandages.
00:02:33That's when she sees the scars crisscrossing Jiayun's wrists. Suddenly, Jiayun freaks out
00:02:38and tells Suji to get back to class, especially since it's Wednesday. Back in the classroom,
00:02:43everyone's sitting quietly in their seats. Duye, the class president, announces it's time for the
00:02:4813th selection game. She explains to Suji that they play this game on the last Wednesday of every
00:02:53month. So, this selection game is basically a popularity contest disguised as a vote.
00:02:59Everyone gets to vote for five other classmates, and based on the votes, everyone gets ranked from
00:03:04A to D. Alisters get perks, while the lower ranks have to bow down to them. And if you're unlucky
00:03:10enough to get zero votes, you're ranked F, which is social suicide. Even worse, if you don't
00:03:15participate in the voting, you automatically become an F rank. That's exactly what happened
00:03:20to Jiayun. Suji gets a message to download a game called Pyramid. She figures she'll get at least a
00:03:25vote or two from Jiayun and Seulha since they've been friendly lately. Nope. The results come in,
00:03:32and Suji is floored. Zero votes. F rank. And to add insult to injury, Jiayun actually looks back and
00:03:39laughs at her. Suji doesn't tell her dad about any of this. She's used to handling things on her own.
00:03:44Besides, he'll be transferred in three months anyway. And then she'll be out of this crazy
00:03:49school. The next day, during break time, Da Yun orders Suji to stand up and feed her snacks. Like
00:03:55a dog. Suji refuses. She's not going to let them walk all over her. Big mistake. They jump her,
00:04:02tossing her around like a rag doll, while the rest of the class just watches. Amused, Suji still
00:04:07refuses to play along. So the torment continues. It's a rigged system. The security cameras have
00:04:13been conveniently removed, and the bullies are careful not to leave any marks on Suji.
00:04:18Even when she tries to record them on her phone, they catch her. No evidence, no case. Suji wonders
00:04:23what the point of this game even is. It seems like just an excuse for them to bully others,
00:04:28without feeling guilty. The main bullies are Da Yun, Seulha, and Wu Yi. They've got a whole arsenal
00:04:34of twisted little games they force Suji to play, from pretending to be a dog to having wet tissues
00:04:39plastered on her face for a set amount of time, and even destroying sanitary pads. Suji tries to
00:04:45fight back, but it's no use. Da Yun even lets the lower-ranked students get in on the action,
00:04:51although their bullying is relatively tame, like pulling her skirt or shirt. Only Ha Rin shows any
00:04:56kindness, warning Suji when Da Yun is looking for her. Suji realizes the situation is even worse than
00:05:02she thought, and becomes determined to escape F-rank. Even as an F-ranker herself,
00:05:07Ja Yun actually seems pretty decent. It was she who warned Suji to get back to class for the vote.
00:05:13Suji thanks her, and promises they'll get out of F-rank together. And she's got a plan.
00:05:18She notices that Ji Ae and Sung Mai, both D-rankers, are close friends. Since they each only got one vote,
00:05:24Suji figures they must have voted for each other. The plan? Suji and Ja Yun will vote for each other,
00:05:30then approach Ji Ae and Sung Ai separately, offering to trade votes. But only with one of
00:05:35them. One, or both, will take the bait. Then, Suji and Ja Yun will pick just one of them to actually
00:05:41vote for, leaving the other one out in the cold. The pressure and fear of betrayal should force them
00:05:46to choose. It's a perfect plan. Except Ja Yun flat out refuses. She doesn't want to drag anyone else down
00:05:52with them, and is disgusted by Suji's manipulative tactics. Suji can't believe her ears. This girl is
00:05:58kind to even her bullies. What is happening? She even tries offering to study together, go out for
00:06:03food, and even buy her kimbap. Suji tries everything to get close to Ja Yun. But no luck. She's getting
00:06:10a headache trying to figure out how to be on the same team, as someone so, saintly. Her other option
00:06:15is to find and take down whoever created this pyramid game. But she doesn't have much to go on. Just as
00:06:21she's racking her brain, Yun Baeul pulls her aside for a private chat. Turns out, chubby little Yun Baeul
00:06:27used to be best friends with Ja Yun, until she betrayed her by trading votes with someone else.
00:06:32Now Suji understands why Ja Yun hates her plan so much. Yun Baeul seems riddled with guilt,
00:06:37so Suji decides to use her to get some information. Yun Baeul suggests asking Mr. I'm for help,
00:06:43since he seems to genuinely care about the students. The bully trio is furious that Suji is
00:06:48openly friendly with Ja Yun, so they come up with a new torture method, forcing Suji to swallow live
00:06:53worms. Suji can't stomach it and throws up. Just then, Ha Rin walks in. She checks on Suji and tells
00:07:00the bullies to stop. But Suji notices something. Ha Rin smells like cigarettes. The same smell that
00:07:06clings to Ja Yun. Plus, Ha Rin is ranked A, with a landslide victory in the votes. Suddenly, Suji has a
00:07:13hunch. This seemingly sweet and innocent girl, could she be the mastermind? Suji doesn't know it yet.
00:07:19But it was Ha Rin who asked the principal to put Suji in class A5. It was also Ha Rin who was the
00:07:24worst of Ja Yun's tormentors. When Ja Yun started getting close to Suji, Ha Rin burned her hand with
00:07:30a cigarette. Ja Yun, ever the pacifist, just endures the pain and begs Ha Rin not to hurt anyone else.
00:07:37Despite her suspicions about Ha Rin, Suji plays dumb. She acts like she doesn't suspect a thing,
00:07:43chatting casually with Ha Rin, and even asking why she got ranked F on her first day.
00:07:47Ha Rin claims she doesn't know, but it's not your fault. During a teacher's meeting,
00:07:52one teacher reports the bullying in her class. But the principal dismisses it, saying,
00:07:57In my experience, they're just playing around. Mr. I'm speaks up, emphasizing the need to protect
00:08:02these young students. He seems like a genuinely good guy. After countless painful experiences,
00:08:08Suji figures out some unspoken rules. To bully an F ranker, you need permission from an A ranker.
00:08:14They only bully during breaks, never during class, and they never leave any physical marks.
00:08:19This means that if Suji can just avoid them during breaks, she'll be safe during class time.
00:08:24Connecting the dots, the isolated classroom building, the missing security cameras. Suji gets
00:08:29the feeling everything is perfectly orchestrated for this game. Could a student really pull this
00:08:34off? She asks Mr. I'm why their classroom doesn't have security cameras, like the main building. But
00:08:39he avoids the question. Then, she stumbles upon class president Du A's file, and discovers she's
00:08:45the daughter of the hospital chairman. Just then, Du A walks in and warns Suji not to tell the teachers
00:08:50about the game. Passing the bulletin board, Suji learns that Yoon Jong is the runner-up in national
00:08:56bowling. And Seul Ha is the national high school judo champion. No wonder she was tossed around like a ragdoll.
00:09:02A quick google search reveals that Da Yoon is the daughter of the QB corporation chairman,
00:09:07and Yi Won is a highly respected computer programmer. This class is full of surprises.
00:09:12Back in class, Suji gets confronted by G.A. Because Suji hid during break time,
00:09:18the bullies went after the D rankers, including G.A. and Sung Won. Just to make a point,
00:09:23G.A. tells Suji she deserves to be bullied because she's lower than them. Great. So, avoiding them
00:09:29doesn't work. Suji needs those votes. She tries playing nice, but that goes nowhere. Next tactic.
00:09:35Fake a total meltdown. She sobs dramatically, hoping to appeal to Ja Yoon's sympathy. Surely this will
00:09:41work. Nope. Ja Yoon still refuses. Suji notices the burn on Ja Yoon's hand, and instantly knows
00:09:47who's responsible. Ha Rin. Ja Yoon is so terrified that she's harming herself because of the stress and
00:09:53depression. She advises Suji to ask the other girls for help because they're really nice. Suji knows
00:09:58it's a long shot, but she gives it a try anyway, just to prove Ja Yoon wrong. As expected, the other
00:10:04girls not only refuse but also berate Suji and Ja Yoon for trying to make them the targets. During the
00:10:10next break, Suji finally lays it out for Ja Yoon. It's not just those two girls, the whole class wants
00:10:15them to stay F rank. It's just basic human selfishness. The news shocks Ja Yoon, and she runs off
00:10:21without a word. Just when Suji thinks things can't get any worse, she gets hit with another bombshell.
00:10:27Her dad's transfer has been postponed indefinitely. They won't be moving until after Suji graduates.
00:10:33Two more years in this hellhole? Seriously? In the days that follow, Ja Yoon stops coming to school.
00:10:39Turns out, Ha Rin caught them talking about the vote trading plan and threatened Ja Yoon. She's so
00:10:44scared of Ha Rin that she's basically hiding at home. Suji texts her but gets no response. Ja Yoon has
00:10:50even submitted a withdrawal form. Today is the school's ballet performance. Starring none other
00:10:55than Princess Ha Rin. Looking at her angelic face, it's hard to believe she's such a venomous snake.
00:11:01Watching Ha Rin gracefully dance across the stage, Suji siathas with resentment. To disrupt the
00:11:07performance, Suji accidentally drops her phone, breaking the spellbinding silence. The next day,
00:11:13the bully trio retaliates. Da Yoon brings her dad's hunting rifle to school to intimidate Suji.
00:11:18But thankfully, she doesn't use it. Suji goes looking for Ha Rin and bumps into Ye Rin,
00:11:24the idol. Suji asks her who's behind this whole messed up game. To her surprise, Ye Rin answers
00:11:30point blank. It's Ha Rin. Duh. Ha Rin's mother is the chairwoman of the school board. And not only that,
00:11:37Ha Rin is the sole heiress to the Baekhyun Corporation, one of the three largest conglomerates in
00:11:42South Korea. Mystery solved. That evening, the three A-rankers, Ha Rin, Da Yoon, and Do Ae, have dinner
00:11:49with their fathers. All three families are wealthy. But Ha Rin's family is on a whole other level. The other
00:11:55two fathers are practically groveling at Ha Rin's family's feet, urging their daughters to suck up to
00:11:59her. But the girls don't seem like genuine friends. Da Yoon, in particular, is visibly afraid of Ha Rin. Ha Rin asks her
00:12:07father to sponsor the school's bowling team. He hesitates, but when she whispers something in his
00:12:11ear, his face pales, and he immediately agrees. Sounds like Ha Rin knows some serious dirt on him.
00:12:17The next day, Mr. Ae asks Suji why Ja Yoon hasn't been coming to school. He tells her to let him know
00:12:23if anything's going on in the class. Just as Suji is about to tell him everything, Do Ae interrupts,
00:12:29warning her that things will only get worse if she tries anything. During PE class, Mr. Ae catches the
00:12:34other girls harassing Suji. Woo Yee tries to play it off as a joke. Thinking fast, Suji pretends to
00:12:40feel faint, and asks Mr. Ae to take her to the nurse's office. Do Ae immediately volunteers to
00:12:45take her. But Suji insists on going with Mr. Im. Once they're alone, Suji tells him about the
00:12:51bullying, and asks for help. Could the school's violence prevention committee intervene? Mr. Ae tells
00:12:56her about another girl, Yoo Wee, who was bullied in class of 5 last year. Mr. Ae says he knows about
00:13:01Ja Yoon's situation too, and promises to help them both. Suji breathes a sigh of relief.
00:13:07Saved! Mr. Im asks Suji to recount the whole story on camera. She has a weird feeling about this,
00:13:13but she goes along with it. Then he does something even weirder. He glances at a pot of boiling water.
00:13:18Suji freaks out and tries to run, but he grabs her and slaps her heart across the face. Just then,
00:13:23Ja Yoon bangs on the door. Suji grabs Mr. Im's phone and runs. Ja Yoon, quick on her feet,
00:13:30throws the phone into the boiling water, destroying the evidence. They escape to the rooftop. Ja Yoon
00:13:35apologizes for not warning Suji about Mr. Im. Turns out, he wasn't trying to help at all. He wanted
00:13:41to use the recorded evidence to blackmail the bully's parents. As for Yoo Wee, because she leaked
00:13:47information and broke the rules of the pyramid game, she was punished. She was forced to shave
00:13:52her head while the A-rankers filmed it. While Suji was with Mr. Im, the whole class was chatting
00:13:58about it in their group chat. Some expressed pity, others mocked her, but they all knew Mr. Im wasn't
00:14:03a good guy. Only Da A, the class president, secretly messaged Ja Yoon to rescue Suji. Suji asks Ja Yoon
00:14:10about Yoon Baeol and learns they aren't close at all. Yoon Baeol had set Suji up on Ha Rin's orders.
00:14:16Suji convinces Ja Yoon to help her destroy the pyramid game. It's the only way to stop the bullying.
00:14:21First step, escape F-rank by trading votes. Because according to the rules, only those
00:14:27with 0 votes are ranked F. Meanwhile, the principal informs Ha Rin about Ja Yoon's withdrawal form.
00:14:33Ha Rin orders her to silence Mr. Im and make him focus on teaching. The next day, Suji runs
00:14:39into Mr. I'm in the hallway but pretends not to see him. He tells her to greet her teacher
00:14:44properly and she fires back. You're not a teacher. You're a parasite feeding off this class.
00:14:49He lunges at her angrily, but Suji opens the classroom door. And he backs off, afraid of Ha Rin.
00:14:56It's time for the next vote, but Ja Yoon is still absent. First period. Second period. Third period.
00:15:02Suji's stomach is in knots. She texts Ja Yoon but gets no reply. At lunchtime in the cafeteria,
00:15:08the atmosphere is thick with tension. The students eye each other suspiciously. Ha Rin sits alone,
00:15:13enjoying the show. Just as Suji is losing hope, Ja Yoon shows up. The class is stunned.
00:15:19She hasn't participated in times. Ja Yoon announces, right in front of Ha Rin, that this game has to
00:15:25end. Suji and Ja Yoon vote for each other as planned. When the results are revealed, everyone
00:15:30is shocked. Suji gets 5 votes, ranking her C, and Ja Yoon gets 2, ranking her D. Suji can't believe her
00:15:37eyes, while Ha Rin fumes. The unlucky student with 0 votes, now ranked F, is GA. Her best friend,
00:15:44Song Yi, betrayed her. Suji isn't surprised. This game turns everyone selfish. Song Yi ditched GA to
00:15:51join another clique. Ja Yoon wants to help GA, but Suji doesn't. She admits she's not as kind as Ja Yoon.
00:15:58Escaping F rank is enough for her. Let everyone else fend for themselves. Besides, she thinks,
00:16:04GA wasn't exactly nice to me. Ha Rin cheerfully congratulates Suji on her promotion, promising to
00:16:10help her from now on. Suji plays along, thanking her. While wondering what tricks Ha Rin has up her
00:16:15sleeve, the bully trio tries to go after GA, but Due stops them. According to the rules, they can only
00:16:21bully the F ranker starting the next day. After school, Suji stops by the convenience store. The
00:16:27kind manager gives her a pastry that just expired 5 minutes ago. He seems strangely interested in her
00:16:32class. It turns out he's Yui's older brother, Sung Hwa. Yui became so depressed that she dropped out of
00:16:39school, and now shut herself in her room, only communicating with her brother through the door.
00:16:44She has frequent outbursts and breakdowns. Sung Hwa loves his sister, but doesn't know how to help
00:16:49her. The next day, the C rank girls are suddenly Suji's new best friends. Just yesterday, they were
00:16:54insulting her for being F rank. Now? Total 180. Suji plays along, chatting away with them. Ha Rin is absent
00:17:02today. Off doing charity work with her family at an orphanage, a little girl asks Ha Rin to play.
00:17:07Ha Rin smiles sweetly, and then burns the girl with a lighter. The little girl stares at Ha Rin with
00:17:12hatred, but doesn't dare tell anyone. Ha Rin's grandmother absolutely dotes on her, telling Ha Rin's
00:17:18mother to give her granddaughter whatever she wants. At dinner that night, Suji's dad asks about her
00:17:23class, and reminds her that school is a microcosm of society, so she should behave herself. He tells her
00:17:29to face any challenges head-on, not avoid them. The next day in the restroom, Yi Rin reveals that she
00:17:34voted for Suji and Jiayun. But when Suji asks why, she doesn't answer. Mr. Im announces a landscape
00:17:41drawing assignment, instructing the students to grade each other's work and submit the scores to
00:17:45him at the end of class. What fresh hell is this? When Mr. Im returns to his desk and opens a USB
00:17:51drive, there's already a set of pre-determined grades. He's doing this on the principal's orders,
00:17:56who, in turn, is following Ha Rin's instructions. Due doesn't let the students grade each other.
00:18:02Instead, she tells everyone to stand where they think their grade should be on the pyramid.
00:18:07The first two students take their usual spots. The others slowly catch on. Even Yu Rim,
00:18:12a talented artist, stands in the D-rank position. Suji realizes they've been so psychologically
00:18:17conditioned by the pyramid game that they accept having their grades manipulated. She reluctantly takes
00:18:23her average spot. Suji becomes so obsessed that she dreams about being ranked F again. She wakes up
00:18:29in a panic and checks the rankings on her phone, just to be sure. Even though she's C-ranked now,
00:18:34who knows what will happen next time? She's determined to find out who the other four people
00:18:38who voted for her are, besides Jiayun. Suji tells the others she suspects the game is rigged,
00:18:44since the results are always the same, especially for the A-rank. Yi Won insists the app is secure,
00:18:50because she designed it. Suji challenges her. What if you're the one rigging it? She proposes using
00:18:56paper ballots. Everyone will write down their five choices, and they'll count the votes manually.
00:19:01Yi Rim agrees, and so does Yi Won, wanting to prove her app is fair. The others are curious to see if
00:19:07the results will change. Due counts the votes herself, and nothing changes. But Suji has a plan.
00:19:12While submitting her test, she switches the ballots. This was her goal all along. By comparing the
00:19:18handwriting on the ballots to the students' notebooks, she can figure out who voted for whom.
00:19:22Only Due notices the switch. The results are surprising. The four people who voted for Suji
00:19:27seem to be Yi Rim, Dayun, Wu Yi, and Ha Rin. If this is Ha Rin's doing, Suji could be back to F-rank
00:19:34at any moment. Yi Rim also voted for both Suji and Jiayun. Will she do it again next time? Wu Yi and Dayun
00:19:41start bullying Jiayun. Good kitty, right? The class remains indifferent, except for Jiayun,
00:19:46who tries to intervene. And of course, Ha Rin steps in, playing the peacemaker. Suji, disgusted,
00:19:53throws a pin at Ha Rin's head, and then pretends to apologize. Wu Yi, a huge Ha Rin fan,
00:19:59is about to confront Suji, but Ha Rin stops her. It seems Suji has finally figured out this princess.
00:20:05She never plays the villain in front of the whole class, always maintaining her facade of generosity and
00:20:10kindness. Suji asks Ha Rin if she can let Jiayun off the hook. Ha Rin says she doesn't have that
00:20:16power. Everyone has to follow the rules of the game. Jiayun finds Suji on the rooftop. They make
00:20:22up and agree to work together to destroy the game. First step, find Jiayun. Jiayun is a complete mess,
00:20:29crying and wailing, which annoys Suji. Who hasn't been bullied here? She thinks. After a lot of dramatic
00:20:35sobbing, Jiayun finally tells them about their freshman year. At first, the class was normal.
00:20:41Then, Jiayun started a gratitude vote, where everyone voted for the classmate they wanted to
00:20:45thank that month. The winner got a small reward, like skipping chores or getting first dibs at lunch.
00:20:51But gradually, the higher ranked students started looking down on the lower ranked ones.
00:20:56Just like Suji told Jiayun, the bullying became contagious, and they started creating twisted rules.
00:21:01The F rank was added, and Yuwi became the first victim. Da Yun was the first to use violence
00:21:07against her. Then came the rule that anyone with permission from an A ranker could bully the F ranker.
00:21:13Yuwi was F rank the entire year until she dropped out. Suji thanked Du A for messaging Jiayun to
00:21:20rescue her from Mr. M. Du A also deliberately distanced herself from Mr. I'm after that incident.
00:21:26The rule about only bullying the F ranker the day after the vote was also Du A's idea.
00:21:31Since everyone gets so worked up on game day, she worried the F ranker might get seriously hurt.
00:21:36Realizing that Du A is secretly a good person, Suji asks for her help. Du A calls Suji careless,
00:21:42and says she has no reason to help her. She'll never openly oppose Ha Rin.
00:21:47But, she does give Suji a tip, seek out the D rankers who aren't connected to the A's and B's.
00:21:52As they leave the library, Ha Rin and her crew spot them. Wu Yi is furious that Du A would betray her idol,
00:21:59Ha Rin. But Ha Rin warns Wu Yi not to forget her place. Whatever Du A is doing, she's not crossing
00:22:04any lines. Plus, Ha Rin never considered Du A a friend anyway. Over a year ago, it was Ha Rin who
00:22:11came up with the pyramid game, modeling it after the social hierarchy. Da Young was immediately on board,
00:22:16while Du A wasn't thrilled. But Ha Rin used Du A's father to pressure her into agreeing. Yi Rim and
00:22:22Yun Zhang are chatting by the pool, talking about Suji. Yi Rim is amused that someone finally dared to
00:22:28stand up to Ha Rin. Yun Zhang gets jealous, thinking Yi Rim likes Suji. Seems like these two might be a
00:22:34couple. Suji plans to gather the D rankers and help them climb to C rank. Everyone is tempted by the
00:22:40prospect of a promotion. If they can recruit three more D rankers, they'll have a group of six. By trading
00:22:46votes, they can all become C rank, completely disrupting the pyramid. Starting with the C rankers,
00:22:52Yondu's parents are business partners, with Da Yun's family. Ji Young's parents work for Ha Rin's
00:22:57family's corporation. So, they're out. The D rankers are the key. Suji identifies six who aren't
00:23:03connected to the higher ranks. They'll choose three from this group. Suji immediately eliminates
00:23:08Yun Baiol, the chubby girl who betrayed her. Ji A eliminates her former friend, Song Yi,
00:23:14for the same reason. Ji Yun eliminates Yu Rim, without explanation. That leaves Yi Won,
00:23:19Hae Jun, and Jae Hyun. Suji starts getting close to these three. She learns Jae Hyun is into cute
00:23:25guys, so she pretends to share the same interests. With Yi Won, she talks about computers and programming.
00:23:32Ji Yun tries to copy her, but her social awkwardness makes it a disaster. Ji A gives Ji Yun a crash
00:23:38course in socializing, but she still can't fix that fake laugh. The next day, Ji Yun approaches
00:23:43Hae Jun, who promptly turns and runs. Miss Nahi asks Ji Yun if there's any bullying going on in the class.
00:23:49Before Ji Yun can answer, Hae Rin interrupts, pulling Ji Yun aside and threatening her. Ji Yun insists she
00:23:56wasn't going to tell the teacher, but Hae Rin is still furious that she traded votes with Suji to
00:24:00escape F rank. Back in class, Suji and Ji Yun pretend to ignore Ji A's bullying to avoid suspicion.
00:24:08Seeing Yi Rim sleepy, Suji offers her a pillow. Yun Zhang shields Yi Rim from the sun. Suji notices
00:24:15Yun Zhang's chivalrous gesture. With only a week left until the next game, Suji is still scrambling
00:24:20for information. She needs to hack their phones. Then it hits her. She can use Yi Won to do it.
00:24:26Ji Yun is better suited for this task because Yi Won is arrogant and loves to show off. She won't be
00:24:32suspicious of Ji Yun since they're both D rank. The next day, Suji and Ji Yun follow Yi Won and see her
00:24:39with a brand new expensive MacBook. Ji Yun sticks to Yi Won while Suji rushes back to class to consult
00:24:45Google. Yi Won's MacBook cost around $5,000. Her family isn't rich, and her file mentions she's
00:24:51motivated by personal gain. Uh, oh. Suji panics when she realizes Hae Rin isn't in class. She calls
00:24:59Ji Yun, but there's no answer. Ji Yun follows Yi Won to a fancy area and finds Hae Rin waiting. Hae Rin asks,
00:25:06why Ji Yun is following Yi Won. Luckily, Suji arrives just in time. Turns out, Hae Rin gave Yi Won the
00:25:12MacBook, and Yi Won told her about Suji and Ji Yun's attempts to get close to her. Suji claims she
00:25:18just wanted to be friends. Hae Rin invites Suji to sit with her, but Suji says she prefers sitting
00:25:24with Ji Yun. Hae Rin drops the nice girl act, lights a cigarette, and blows smoke in Suji's face.
00:25:30She warns Suji that not everyone is a pawn in her game. Ji A freaks out when she hears what happened.
00:25:35Blaming Suji for being reckless. Suji realizes, Hae Rin can buy anyone's loyalty. Something they
00:25:41can't compete with. They need a new strategy. The bullies strip Ji Ae, and she hides in the
00:25:46bathroom. Suddenly, someone covers Ji Ae's mouth. It's Song Yi. She pretends to sympathize with Ji Ae,
00:25:53and asks if she's working with Suji and Ji Yun. Then she implies that Suji isn't trustworthy.
00:25:58Song Yi is doing Hae Rin's dirty work, trying to divide them. Back on the rooftop, the rebel group meets.
00:26:04With Yi Won out of the picture, they need a new target, Yoo Rin. Ji Ae reveals that Yoo Rin used to
00:26:10be her friend. They both transferred into this class at the beginning of the sophomore year,
00:26:14but during the first vote, Yoo Rin betrayed Ji Ae, leaving her with an F rank. Da Yoon and Sol Ha are
00:26:20walking together. But when they see Hae Rin, Da Yoon ditches Sol Ha and rushes to Hae Rin's side,
00:26:26inviting her over to her house. Hae Rin coldly rejects her and brushes her hand away. Da Yoon worries about
00:26:32how she'll explain this to her father. As expected, Da Yoon gets home to a furious father, who throws a
00:26:38teacup at her head and then beats her with a golf club. It's no wonder Da Yoon is so violent. She's
00:26:43just mimicking her abusive father. Miz Nahe finds Ji Ae crying in the restroom and asks Suji if anything's
00:26:50happening in class, offering to help. But after her experience with Mr. Im, Suji wants to handle this
00:26:56herself. On the rooftop, Suji confronts Ji Ae for involving the teacher. Ji Ae starts crying again
00:27:02and accuses Suji of not trusting her. Suji loses her patience. Am I your mother? I don't think you're
00:27:08trustworthy. But this plan falls apart if we don't work together. Ji Ae says she's hurt because she
00:27:13thought they were friends. Suji retorts, you called us lower class. If you consider us friends, you should
00:27:19apologize first. Ji Ae, embarrassed, walks away. Suji starts texting Hye Joon, threatening to expose her.
00:27:26Hye Joon pretends to vote for her D rank friends, but actually votes for the A and B ranks, probably
00:27:32afraid of being surpassed. Suji knows this from the handwritten ballots. Hye Joon meets with Suji
00:27:37and denies everything. But Suji shows her the ballot with her handwriting and threatens to expose her
00:27:43secret unless she cooperates. First, recruit secured. Suji's next target is Jae Hyun. The boy
00:27:49crazy girl. That evening, Suji and Jae Hyun see Seung Hwa entering the school as they leave. Suspicious,
00:27:56Suji follows him while Jae Hyun waits outside. Seung Hwa is inside their classroom, retrieving something.
00:28:02Suji confronts him as he leaves. You're Yui's brother, right? He admits he wants to know more
00:28:07about the pyramid game. Suji discovers he's a famous hacker and decides to enlist his help. The next day,
00:28:13she visits the convenience store and makes him an offer. If you want to know what happened to your
00:28:17sister, help us. Seung Hwa hacks Jae Hyun's phone and discovers her penchant for secretly filming boys
00:28:24and girls. The next day, Jae Hyun is secretly filming in the martial arts class, when Jae Hyun approaches
00:28:30her. Instead of threatening her, Jae Hyun tries to befriend her. But Jae Hyun's awkwardness drives Jae Hyun away.
00:28:37Jae Hyun follows her, saying that being there alone makes her look like a pervert. The next morning,
00:28:42Jae Hyun oversleeps, so Jae Hyun is free to film, until a large girl catches her in the act.
00:28:47Luckily, Jae Hyun arrives just in time to save the day. Unexpectedly, Jae Hyun becomes fascinated by
00:28:53Jae Hyun's manly intervention and starts idolizing her. Seung Hwa discovers that Yoo Rim plagiarized her
00:28:59artwork to win an award. The next day, Suji plans to approach Yoo Rim in the restroom, but overhears her
00:29:05thanking. Jae A received a scholarship from the Baikian Corporation. It seems Ha, Rin learned about
00:29:11their plan and is taking steps to prevent it. Jae A is bullied again and cries in the restroom.
00:29:16Soo Ji comforts her and takes her to the rooftop. This time, Jae A isn't acting childish. She suggests
00:29:22they target Song Yi instead of Yoo Rim. After school, Soo Ji asks Seung Hwa to investigate Song Yi's
00:29:29weaknesses. That night, she texts Song Yi. You don't want your secret getting out, do you? The day before the
00:29:35next vote, Jae Hyun reports that she's won over Jae Hyun, who is now a devoted fan. Soo Ji announces a
00:29:41change of plans. They're recruiting Ye Rim. Soo Ji discovered that Ye Rim dislikes Ha Rin, and is only
00:29:47playing along because Ha Rin is holding a secret over her head, Ye Rim's relationship with Yoon Jung.
00:29:53Soo Ji proposes that Ye Rim become F rank in the next vote. Since she's rich, beautiful, and a trainee at an
00:29:59entertainment company. The others won't dare bully her. It's a way to beat Ha Rin at her own game.
00:30:05Today is parent-teacher conference day. Most of the parents are business people who know each other.
00:30:10Soo Ji's father, a lieutenant colonel in the military, stands alone. When Ms. Na Hee informs him about the
00:30:15bullying, everyone is shocked. Your daughter might be the victim. If you don't believe me, you can see for
00:30:21yourself. Ye Rim needs time to think. She hates Ha Rin, but she also doesn't like being threatened by Soo Ji.
00:30:27Soo Ji. Suddenly, a message from Song Yi appears in the group chat. Life is so hard. Soo Ji. Will you
00:30:33stop if I do this? Soo Ji and Ja Yoon rush back to the classroom. Song Yi locked herself inside and cut
00:30:38her wrist. The class breaks down the door. When Soo Ji arrives, everyone stares at her, blaming her for
00:30:44driving Song Yi to self-harm. Ha Rin jumps on the bandwagon, interrogating Soo Ji in the group chat.
00:30:50The others follow suit. It takes Soo Ji only seconds to realize, this is a setup. She remembers Jae
00:30:56Young saying, when it comes to threats and manipulation, you're not even in Ha Rin's league.
00:31:01Just as Soo Ji suspected, after receiving Soo Ji's threatening text, Song Yi went to Ha Rin,
00:31:07and the princess orchestrated this whole drama. Ha Rin warned Soo Ji that this isn't over.
00:31:13The teachers and parents panic when they see Song Yi's injury. Mistarm tries to cover it up,
00:31:17but Yoon Biol insists Soo Ji is the bully. They demand an explanation from Soo Ji, but before she can speak,
00:31:24Ha Rin interrupts. It's just a small issue. We can handle it ourselves. Do A's father and Ha Rin's
00:31:30mother agree? And do the adults leave the students to discuss it among themselves? Do A says Soo Ji
00:31:35broke the rules by bullying a D-ranker and must be punished. Da Yoon proposes revoking Soo Ji's voting
00:31:41rights in the next game. This would ruin the rebel group's plan. Soo Ji refuses to admit fault. There's no
00:31:48proof. How exactly did I bully her? Ha Rin suggests the vote to decide, since the game belongs to the
00:31:54whole class. This too is part of her plan. Outside, Ha Rin's mother looks pleased, while Mi Zna He is
00:32:01furious. This is a public execution. She tries to intervene, but Ha Rin's mother threatens her. If you
00:32:07go in there, that girl will become my prey. The class votes 21 to 4, to revoke Soo Ji's voting rights.
00:32:13She can still receive votes, though. Next up is an open class for parents. Ha Rin gives a presentation
00:32:19on the novel, The Pyramid, by an English author, talking about social class and hierarchy. She
00:32:24invites the parents to play the pyramid game. The rules are the same. Surprisingly, Ha Rin's mother
00:32:30objects. Just when everyone thinks it's over, the chairman of the Baikyan Corporation arrives, Ha Rin's
00:32:36grandmother. With her grandmother backing her up, Ha Rin continues. Everyone is ranked from A to F.
00:32:42According to the novel, F rank is the lowest class, but there's no actual punishment.
00:32:47It seems Ha Rin is doing this just to humiliate Soo Ji and her father.
00:32:50Yoon Baol's mother doesn't want to participate, but when the chairman speaks, everyone falls in line.
00:32:55They download the app and start voting, except for Soo Ji's father, who is excluded. The result,
00:33:01Soo Ji gets zero votes, and is ranked F, while the other parents express relief at their rankings.
00:33:06Soo Ji's father lectures her. The classroom is a microcosm of society. Hierarchy is
00:33:11maintained through order and agreement. The class snickers. They think he's ridiculous.
00:33:16Soo Ji retorts. Order and agreement can force F rank people into a corner and make their lives hell,
00:33:22but ultimately her father accepts the result. Ha Rin smirks. Your dad agrees. What about you?
00:33:28Soo Ji replies firmly. I will smash this pyramid. Ha Rin's grandmother laughs. Your daughter has spirit.
00:33:35I want her to work for Baikyan Corporation someday. Coincidentally, I'm the chairman there.
00:33:40After the meeting, the principal berates Ms. Na Hee for revealing the bullying. Na Hee is furious that
00:33:45the school has allowed it to go on for so long. The principal threatens to terminate her contract
00:33:50if she interferes. Soo Ji sarcastically tells the principal she's just as manipulative as Ha Rin.
00:33:56Soo Ji insists she's different and doesn't care about the principal's problems. She has enough on her
00:34:01plate dealing with Ha Rin. Still, she warns Yi Rim to tell Yoon Jong to be careful about their relationship.
00:34:07After today's events, Hae Jun abandons Soo Ji. Only Jae Hyun remains loyal to Jae Hyun.
00:34:13The rebels meet at the convenience store. Jae Hyun assures them they'll vote for Soo Ji,
00:34:17so there's nothing to worry about. Ji Ai makes excuses and leaves early. Clearly wavering.
00:34:22Seung Hwa knows their D rank alliance has fallen apart. He asks about the camera in the classroom.
00:34:27Soo Ji reveals her backup plan. She installed a hidden camera to gather evidence. Worried that Ji Ai wouldn't last.
00:34:34They also need to expand their alliance. Not through threats, but by winning people over. Like Jae Hyun did
00:34:40with Jae Hyun. That night, Jae Hyun visits Ji Ai and talks about Soo Ji. She's smart and can see people's
00:34:46strengths and weaknesses. Don't misunderstand her. We're all friends. The next day, Soo Ji asks Yi Rim
00:34:53to report Ha Rin for revealing the game to the parents. If Soo Ji lost her voting rights for breaking the rules,
00:34:59Ha Rin should too. Soo Ji wants to break Ha Rin's tyrannical control. Yi Rim suggests a secret ballot,
00:35:06reminding everyone of Ha Rin's words. This is our game. Ha Rin is forced to agree. The result is shocking.
00:35:1213 votes in favor of reporting Ha Rin. 11 abstentions. Soo Ji changes the plan. Yi Rim won't become F rank.
00:35:20Instead, she'll become a rank with votes from Jae Hyun, Ji A, and Jae Young. Soo Ji believes only Yi Rim,
00:35:27the idol, can gather enough votes to become a rank, and challenge Ha Rin directly. Ha Rin is
00:35:32furious at being outmaneuvered. She spreads rumors about Yi Rim's father, claiming he bribed people
00:35:37for her debut and built a gym for the school. The source claims to be Yi Rim's classmate. While
00:35:43everyone wonders who started the rumors, Ji Young makes a snide remark, and Yoon Jung slaps her across
00:35:48the face. Yoon Byol tries to retaliate, but Yoon Jung throws her to the ground and starts hitting her.
00:35:54The class watches. Only Ja Yoon intervenes to stop Yoon Jung. Ha Rin realizes Ja Yoon has completely
00:36:00changed, which infuriates her even more. She says the picture of Yi Rim online was taken from the
00:36:05hidden camera in the classroom. Tracing the angle, Yoon Jung quickly finds the camera. Ha Rin says they
00:36:11just need to check the memory card to find out who planted it. Due announces that whoever revealed the
00:36:16game to the parents will face the harshest punishment. Ja Yoon looks at Soo Ji nervously, thinking they're
00:36:21caught. But then Ms. Na Hee walks in. She confesses to planting the camera, claiming she suspected
00:36:27something was going on in the class. She smashes the camera, destroying the evidence. Na Hee knows
00:36:32her career is over. But she has no regrets, scolding the gossiping teachers. I'm too embarrassed to
00:36:37teach here anymore. Mr. Im smirks at his colleague's misfortune. Actually, Na Hee was already facing termination.
00:36:44She presented evidence to the principal that Ha Rin was manipulating her like a puppet. The principal then
00:36:49called a board meeting. But when Na Hee arrived, only Ha Rin was there. Ha Rin smugly threatened to
00:36:55fire her. Na Hee knew she couldn't fight the Baikian Corporation, but hoped Soo Ji wouldn't give up.
00:37:01She gives Soo Ji her phone number and tells her to call if she needs help. Soo Ji suspects Ji A betrayed
00:37:06them because when Ha Rin mentioned the camera, only Song Yi and Ji A weren't surprised. Turns out,
00:37:12Ja Yoon told Ji A about the camera to reassure her. And Ji A blabbed to Song Yi. Furious, Soo Ji kicks Ji A out of the
00:37:19group. Soo Ji's original plan was to become an F rank herself and gather evidence. But now that the
00:37:25camera has been discovered, she needs a new plan. She remembers the recording app Sung Hwa installed on
00:37:31her phone. She tells Ja Yoon to get back to class for the vote. Do A announces the 15th pyramid game.
00:37:36Soo Ji and Ha Rin are excluded for breaking the rules. The class is tense and everyone is glued to their
00:37:42phones. The results are surprising. No one is F rank. Soo Ji drops from C to D. Ja Yoon remains
00:37:49D. Ye Rim rises from B to A, as planned. Ji A escapes F rank and moves up to D. Most shockingly,
00:37:57Yoon Baeul jumps to a rank. Da Yoon is furious, she's dropped to B for the first time. Do A,
00:38:02with only 7 votes, also drops to B. Sung Hwa informs Soo Ji that she received 3 votes, from Ya Rim, Ja Yoon,
00:38:10and Jae Hyun. Ja Yoon received 2 votes from Ye Rim and Jae Hyun. Ha Rin is livid that Ja Yoon got any votes at all.
00:38:18Yoon Jung only received 1 vote. This was all part of Soo Ji's plan. She told Ye Rim to tell the others to
00:38:23drop Yoon Jung a few ranks so no one would suspect their relationship. Ye Rim also had to vote for
00:38:29Soo Ji, Ja Yoon, and Jae Hyun to eliminate the F rank. Ha Rin glares at Soo Ji. Soo Ji smiles. We're just getting
00:38:37started. Ha Rin calls Ja Yoon aside and threatens her, regretting letting her get close to Soo Ji. Just then,
00:38:44Soo Ji arrives. Ha Rin reveals that it was because of Ja Yoon that Soo Ji became F rank. Soo Ji exposes
00:38:50Ha Rin's scheme to target those with ordinary backgrounds. Like herself and Ja Yoon, she doesn't
00:38:56know the history between Ha Rin and Ja Yoon. But she's sure Ha Rin wants Ja Yoon to remain F rank forever.
00:39:02Soo Ji calls Ha Rin a bully, but Ha Rin denies it, implying that Ja Yoon is the real bully. Da Yoon is
00:39:08freaking out about dropping to B rank and terrified of her father finding out she's been abandoned by Ha Rin.
00:39:13Woo Yi invites Du Ae to lunch, but she refuses. It seems the group is fracturing after the vote.
00:39:19Meanwhile, Yoon Biol has caught a serious case of a rank attitude, ordering Da Yoon and Du Ae to fetch
00:39:25her milk from the cafeteria. Turns out, she's Ha Rin's secret minion. After successfully setting up Soo Ji,
00:39:32Yoon Biol was rewarded with a sneak peek at the midterm exam. Ye Rim warns Yoon Jung not to let her
00:39:37one-sided feelings interfere with her debut. Yoon Jung promises not to bother her and sulks away.
00:39:43Soo Ji starts her Ja Yoon style, charm offensive. First, she sincerely apologizes to Song Yi for
00:39:50threatening her. Then, she cheerfully greets Ji Ae, who is walking in with her head down.
00:39:55The class is surprised, but Soo Ji says there's no F rank anymore, so no need for discrimination. Then,
00:40:01she directly challenges Ha Rin. Why don't we just end this stupid game? What do you think, Ha Rin?
00:40:07Anyone who agrees, DM me on Insta or Messenger. Ha Rin demands that Ye Won retrieve the voting data to
00:40:13see who voted for whom. Ye Won refuses, saying it's an insult to her app. Furious, Ha Rin throws
00:40:19Yi Won's MacBook into the water fountain. Later, she transfers Ye Won enough money to buy a new one.
00:40:25Yi Rim officially joins the rebel group. Sung Hwa realizes she's his sister's idol.
00:40:30Yui's room is plastered with Yi Rim's pictures. Yi Rim says she won't stand idly by this time.
00:40:35Soo Ji's immediate plan is to make Ha Rin an ordinary student. First step, make her do chores.
00:40:41You're a member of this class too. Yoon Byol protests, saying, A rankers are exempt. But Yi Rim is
00:40:47cleaning too. Da Yoon defends Ha Rin, and Soo Ji points at her. You're not a rank anymore,
00:40:52so drop the bullying act. Ha Rin is speechless with rage. Soo Ji notices a bruise on Ja Yoon's hand,
00:40:58and assumes Ha Rin is responsible. When she learns Ja Yoon hurt herself fixing a pipe,
00:41:03Soo Ji goes to her house to help. She's surprisingly handy, and fixes it quickly.
00:41:08Ja Yoon offers to take her out for a hot pot, as thanks. But Soo Ji prefers making ramen,
00:41:13and eating together at Ja Yoon's place. Ja Yoon is impressed. Soo Ji can cook, fix pipes. Is there
00:41:20anything she can't do? Soo Ji says she learned everything from YouTube, because she doesn't
00:41:25have a mother. Ja Yoon lives alone, because her mother moved back home after her father died.
00:41:30Soo Ji sees a notification on Ja Yoon's phone, and is about to hand it to her when she notices
00:41:35it's a message from Ha Rin. Ja Yoon refused to meet her. Ja Yoon explains that she knew Ha Rin in
00:41:40elementary school. They were close until Ha Rin moved away. The next step is to spread the rumor,
00:41:45that Ja Yoon wasn't originally F rank, because she was weird, but because she was betrayed.
00:41:51During lunch, Ji Rin deliberately invites Ja Yoon to join their group. Ja Yoon helps her classmates,
00:41:57and they gradually warm up to her quiet, kind nature. Ji Rin proposes eliminating the A rank
00:42:02privileges if there's no F rank in the next vote. After all, if there's no one to bully, what's the
00:42:08point of being A rank? Ha Rin doesn't object. She's confident there will be an F rank next time.
00:42:13Just when everything is going according to plan, Soo Ji's father announces he's being transferred,
00:42:18and she has to move again. This is what Soo Ji always wanted, but it would mean abandoning her
00:42:23fight against Ha Rin, and betraying her friend's trust. For two days, Ja Yoon doesn't show up to
00:42:28school. Soo Ji's calls go straight to voicemail. On her way home, Soo Ji sees her lieutenant colonel
00:42:34neighbor and his wife returning from a Baikyan store, with tons of shopping bags. The wife asks her
00:42:40husband how he has so many gift cards. Soo Ji pretends to greet them, and glances at his name tag.
00:42:46Back home, she searches through her father's paperwork, and discovers that this neighbor is
00:42:50the one who requested his transfer. Soo Ji realizes this is Ha Rin's doing. She calls Ha Rin,
00:42:56and hears a familiar creaking door, just like Ji Yoon's. Ha Rin threatens to reveal Ji Yoon's secret
00:43:01to her mother and Soo Ji's father. She burns Ji Yoon's hand with a lighter, but Soo Ji arrives just in time.
00:43:08Seeing Ji Yoon bullied, Soo Ji declares she's not going anywhere, and will fight Ha Rin to the bitter
00:43:13end. Ha Rin vows to keep the game going no matter what, but Soo Ji is unfazed. She calls her father
00:43:19and tells him she's staying until graduation. He agrees without even asking why. The next morning,
00:43:24Ji Yoon is waiting for Soo Ji at school. She says she has something to tell Soo Ji and their friends,
00:43:29but only after the game is over. They stop by the convenience store, to see Sung Wah. Soo Ji asked him to
00:43:35plant a recording device in the classroom. She plans to upload the recordings to YouTube,
00:43:39to expose the game, and Ha Rin's true nature. Sung Wah warns her it's dangerous, but she's determined.
00:43:46Woo Yi begs Ha Rin not to abandon her, but Ha Rin never considers her a friend. Now,
00:43:51Yoon Baiol is Ha Rin's top minion. She flatters Ha Rin, but insults her behind her back. Since the PE teacher
00:43:57is absent, Yoon Baiol organizes a dodgeball game for grading. The four students who received only one vote in the
00:44:03pyramid game will be targets. It's basically organized bullying, designed by Yoon Baiol to
00:44:08create conflict and division. After receiving Soo Ji's message, Yi Rim, also a rank, speaks up. She
00:44:15proposes that all the D rankers be targets, with those who received one vote worth three points, and
00:44:21those with two or more votes worth one point. This puts the four lowest ranked D rankers at the center of
00:44:26the attack, with the other 12 D rankers in a slightly safer outer ring. Since Ha Rin doesn't object,
00:44:32Yoon Baiol has to accept. Just before the game starts, the rebel group receives Soo Ji's new plan.
00:44:37They're hesitant at first, but after Da Yoon throws a ball aggressively, all hell breaks loose.
00:44:43Everyone becomes an enemy, throwing balls at each other, and fighting over the remaining balls.
00:44:47Ha Rin and Yoon Biol watch the chaos with amusement. When Ji A clumsily falls, the class swarms her like
00:44:53shark smelling blood. Ja Yoon unexpectedly shields her, accepting the penalty for crossing the boundary line.
00:44:59While everyone is distracted, the rebel group gathers all three balls. But instead of attacking,
00:45:05they stand still, letting everyone calm down. After a moment, Soo Ji lightly taps Yi Wan with the ball,
00:45:11and asks Due to count the points. There's no rule against it. Da Yoon snatches the ball from Yi Rim,
00:45:17and throws it at a D ranker. The class is annoyed by her aggressive behavior. Ja Yoon calmly picks up the ball,
00:45:23and repeats Soo Ji's tactic. Lightly tapping someone, and scoring a point. Soo Ji gives the ball to Yi Wan,
00:45:29who does the same. Then, the whole class follows suit. Without the pressure to inflict pain,
00:45:35no one wants to be violent. Ha Rin fumes as her plan backfires spectacularly. After the game,
00:45:40some students message Soo Ji about ending the pyramid game. The rebels celebrate on the rooftop, chatting and
00:45:46laughing. Yi Rim remembers Yoon Jung's twisted ankle, and feels bad. Back in the classroom,
00:45:52Yoon Jung finds Yao asleep at her desk. She leans in to kiss her, but stops. As she turns away,
00:45:57Yi Rim tells her to get her ankle checked. Suddenly, Ha Rin appears, threatening to expose their relationship.
00:46:04Yi Rim warns her, My family is rich, and my parents don't kiss up to yours. But Ha Rin knows Yi Rim's
00:46:10parents disapprove of her singing career. If her debut fails, Yi Rim's dream is over. Yoon Jung begs
00:46:16Ha Rin to spare Yi Rim. Da Yoon apologizes to Ha Rin. But Ha Rin calls Da Yoon's father to complain
00:46:22about her ruining her plans. Da Yoon can expect another beating tonight. Seul Ha is worried about
00:46:27her friend, and seeks out Du Ae. Du Ae explains that the chances of Ha Rin losing enough votes to drop
00:46:34from A rank are slim. Even if the game ends, the pyramid will still exist everywhere. Because
00:46:40it's a reflection of social hierarchy. The Baekhyun Corporation's power forces everyone to obey Ha Rin.
00:46:46She even made her parents send her brother overseas. But they can't do the same to her,
00:46:50because she has evidence of her father's corruption. Her mother calls her a psychopath.
00:46:54Only her grandmother cares about her. But she's also the most powerful one.
00:46:58Ha Rin taunts Soo Ji about the recordings. Du Ae discovered Soo Ji's secret recording, and told Ha Rin to
00:47:03gain favor. Then, Ha Rin emails Soo Ji evidence of her father's corruption. Ha Rin used the
00:47:09Bakian Corporation to set him up. Soo Ji finally realizes the extent of Ha Rin's power and ruthlessness.
00:47:16She's terrified. Torn between deleting the recordings and protecting her father.
00:47:20Today is the class trip to Busan. It should be fun, but everyone is tense. On the beach,
00:47:26some students start asking about the plan to end the pyramid game. It's a small step, but a significant
00:47:32one. Yerim asks why Soo Ji hasn't released the recordings yet. Soo Ji says she's postponing it. But the truth is,
00:47:39she doesn't know what to do with them. Yi Rim is furious when she learns Yoon Jung is skipping the
00:47:43swimming activity. Ha Rin says Yoon Jung is busy surfing with her that day, since she can't swim.
00:47:48Yoon Jung obeys to protect Yi Rim. Ha Rin knows that besides her dream of becoming a singer,
00:47:53Yoon Jung is Yi Rim's only weakness. Then, Ha Rin threatens Jae Hung, saying she'll expose her secret
00:48:00filming hobby and sabotage her brother's upcoming job interview. The next morning,
00:48:04the class has a scuba diving lesson. Ha Rin falls into the water from the observation deck. No one
00:48:10rushes to help her. Ja Yoon is the first to jump in, followed by Yoon Jung and the instructor. Ha Rin
00:48:16doesn't report anyone, claiming she slipped. Mr. M rushes over, feigning concern, and scolds the class.
00:48:22But Ha Rin snaps at him to shut up. She's clearly lost her composure. It turns out Woo Yi, Ha Rin's former
00:48:28fan. Pushed her. She denies it. But Due saw everything. Woo Yi points out. You all just
00:48:34stood there and watched. What's the difference? Due's father tell the other two fathers that Ha Rin's
00:48:39game is out of control? He suggests Ha Rin's father intervene. The next day, the class stays at a
00:48:45luxurious beach resort. Mr. M tells them to divide into five groups of five, for the villas. The cliques
00:48:50naturally form. Ha Rin's group has four, so she adds Yoon Jung. Jie, Yoo Rim, and Woo Yi are left out.
00:48:58The rebels have four, so Yoo Rim joins them. They don't like her, but they don't have a choice.
00:49:03Ji Hyun confronts Yoo Rim about betraying Ja Yoon. But Yoo Rim is unapologetic, saying it is just
00:49:09survival. Anyone would have done the same. As the group makes lanterns, Yoo Rim appears. Ja Yoon welcomes
00:49:15her and offers her a seat. She's unbelievably kind. That evening, the class releases glowing lanterns
00:49:21into the night sky. Soo Ji asks Ja Yoon why she forgave Yoo Rim so easily. Ja Yoon simply says
00:49:27they could've been friends if it weren't for the game. Yi Rim and Jae Hyun bring Soo Ji a birthday cake.
00:49:32But she's still troubled. Later, as Soo Ji sits alone by the ocean, Yi Won approaches her and thanks
00:49:38her for helping her during the dodgeball game. She offers her assistance if Soo Ji ever needs it.
00:49:42Back in the villa, Soo Ji's group enjoys fried chicken and a scary movie. Later, two D-rankers bring snacks and
00:49:49join them. They wonder why Soo Ji seems so distracted. She's still agonizing over her father and the recordings.
00:49:55In contrast, Ha Rin's group is tense. Yoon Byul provokes Da Yoon and gets choked.
00:50:01Who do you think you are? After graduation, you're nothing. Yoon Byul taunts her, saying the game will
00:50:06continue even after they graduate, because the pyramid is Ha Rin. Her power and influence will
00:50:11always be there. That's why Yoon Byul flatters Ha Rin while secretly resenting her. Woo Yi wonders why Ha
00:50:18Rin hasn't punished her for pushing her into the water. Ha Rin says, Woo Yi isn't worth her attention.
00:50:24She's more angry at the others for their indifference. Ha Rin calls Ja Yoon out for a meeting.
00:50:29This time, she brings Ja Yoon's mother, who's visiting Busan. Ha Rin chats happily with Ja Yoon's mother.
00:50:36But as soon as she leaves, Ha Rin crushes the strawberries she gave Ja Yoon. Ha Rin says Ja Yoon's
00:50:41mother, whose name is So Yoon, was her best friend, which makes her hate Ja Yoon even more.
00:50:46She reveals that Soo Ji betrayed them and deleted the recordings. The next morning, the class plays paintball.
00:50:52They divide into the same teams, but Ha Rin and Yoon Byul introduce a new rule. Anyone hit three times
00:50:58faces a severe penalty. Yi Rim bumps into Yoon Zhang. As they're talking, Yi Rim is shot from behind.
00:51:05Yoon Zhang jumps in front of her and takes the hit. One more and Yi Rim would face the penalty.
00:51:10Ja Yoon, wandering alone, is ambushed by Ha Rin. Ja Yoon doesn't fire back, letting Ha Rin shoot her two more
00:51:17times. Ha Rin tells Ja Yoon to betray Soo Ji if she doesn't want her mother to find out her secret.
00:51:23Meanwhile, Woo Yi shoots Soo Ji three times and then starts choking her. She's lost it, enraged at being
00:51:29abandoned by Ha Rin and becoming the class outcast. Soo Ji manages to kick Woo Yi off. Seeing Woo Yi crying,
00:51:36Soo Ji shoots her once, just to get even, and then stops. At the end of the game, five players face the
00:51:42penalty. Soo Ji Ji Ji Yoon, Yi Rim Ji Ae, and Woo Yi. Ha Rin tells them to choose an F rank among
00:51:49themselves. Wouldn't it be nice to have just one F rank so the rest of you can be safe? She's trying
00:51:55to exploit their selfishness. The class votes and the majority agrees. Even the girl who's friendly
00:52:00with Soo Ji is pressured to raise her hand. Disliking Ha Rin is one thing, openly defying her is another.
00:52:06The penalty. They have to reveal each other's flaws and shoot each other with paintballs.
00:52:10It ends only when everyone is out of ammo. Ha Rin plans to divide the rebels and force them to betray
00:52:16each other. First, she'll threaten them with their secrets. Then, she'll reveal that their friends
00:52:21betrayed them. Finally, she'll force them to attack each other to survive. It's a diabolical plan.
00:52:27The five raise their paintball guns, but no one wants to shoot their friends. Suddenly, a shot rings out.
00:52:32Ji Ae shoots herself. Then, she confesses to betraying her friends by revealing the hidden camera.
00:52:39Soo Ji realizes this is the best solution and follows suit, turning the gun on herself.
00:52:44The others do the same, confessing their flaws. When I first transferred here, I hated everyone.
00:52:49I secretly film people. I'm a good liar. Ji Ae hesitates, and Soo Ji shoots her.
00:52:55You're so kind that you make me look bad. Then, they start shooting each other playfully,
00:53:00laughing and teasing. You think you're a hero? You're a gossip. Ha Rin's plan fails.
00:53:06Last night, they all confessed their secrets and revealed how Ha Rin pressured them to betray each
00:53:11other. Jae Hyun doesn't care about Ha Rin's threat regarding her brother because he abused her as a
00:53:16child. She wants him to suffer. Yi Rim is done with Yoon Jung for giving up her athletic dream so easily.
00:53:23They also understand why Soo Ji hasn't released the recordings. The group is now closer than ever.
00:53:28Yoon Byol urges Da Yoon to attack someone to gain favor with Ha Rin. Da Yoon is about to go after Ji Ae,
00:53:33but Yoon Jung intervenes. Da Yoon kicks and punches Yoon Jung, knocking her into a wooden post.
00:53:39A long nail pierces Yoon Jung's leg. She screams in pain. Mr. Ae frantically calls Principal Soon Ae,
00:53:45who turns out to be his aunt. She reports to Ha Rin's mother, who orders her to cover it up.
00:53:50Do Ae's father knows Yoon Jung is on scholarship and from a poor family, figuring they can buy her
00:53:55silence. Da Yoon is furious at Yoon Byol for setting her up. So Ha tells her, Ha Rin will never protect you from
00:54:02your father. Wake up. You're acting like her slave. Da Yoon insults Sol Ha, saying she's her servant.
00:54:08Your father is just my father's chauffeur. Hurt. Soo Yul Ha walks away. Do Ae tells Soo Ji she'll be the
00:54:14one who wins. At least you know who's on your side. The C rank girls kick Ji Ae out of their room,
00:54:19for siding with Soo Ji. The rebels welcome her, offering her their things. Ji Ae is touched. Just then,
00:54:26Soo Ji brings Yi Wan and Sol Ha into the fold. They bravely refuse to side with Ha Rin during the vote.
00:54:31Yoon Byol calls Yi Rim out for a private meeting, hugging her dramatically. She says the A rankers will
00:54:37decide Da Yoon's punishment. Yi Rim flips her off and walks away. In the middle of the night,
00:54:43Mr. Im gathers the class outside. He wants to cover up Da Yoon's attack on Yoon Jung,
00:54:48calling it an accident, and giving Da Yoon only community service. Everyone is furious,
00:54:53someone is clearly pulling strings. Only Soo Ji speaks up. Why aren't we reporting this to the school
00:54:58violence committee? Mr. Im mocks her. Why so serious? It's just a game. A drunk Da Yoon announces
00:55:04that the servants in the class will do her community service for her. Yi Rim receives a text from Yoon Jung's
00:55:09coach. Yoon Jung's athletic career is over. Enraged, Yi Rim attacks Da Yoon. But Soo Ji stops her, promising to
00:55:17destroy Da Yoon herself. Before Soo Ji can act, Ha Rin texts the class. The A rankers will announce Da Yoon's
00:55:24punishment soon. Ha Rin is determined to maintain the pyramid. Yi Rim and Jiayun visit Yoon Jung,
00:55:30in the hospital. Jiayun stands outside, consumed with guilt. It's my fault everyone is getting bullied.
00:55:36Soo Ji revises her class list, looking for potential allies. During break time, she secretly slips notes
00:55:43into their books. If you could vote anonymously, would you join us? After class, she checks the responses.
00:55:49Three agree, Yiwan, Sul Ha, and Yoo Rim. The Baikan Corporation easily silences the media. So,
00:55:55Doo Ae's father thinks the incident will blow over. But Doo Ae tells him the news is spreading through a
00:56:00popular chat app. Many people know that a national swimmer's knee was destroyed by a classmate.
00:56:05Doo Ae sees a call coming in on her father's phone from Doo Ae. What's going on? Ha Rin's father
00:56:11orders her to study abroad. She ignores him and lights a cigarette. He's reached his limit and is ready for
00:56:17her to expose his corruption. But she smugly replies, the evidence isn't your weakness. I am.
00:56:23She warns him not to provoke her. He's speechless. Just as Yoon Biol is about to announce Da Yoon's
00:56:28punishment, Mr. I'm arrives and announces that Da Yoon is being expelled for bullying. She storms into
00:56:34Mr. M's office and trashes it, flipping him off. He tries to blackmail her father into clearing her
00:56:40record. But Mr. I'm underestimated her. Da Yoon's father storms into the school and slaps him.
00:56:45It was Soo Ji who orchestrated the online leak about the bullying. She had Seung Hwa create
00:56:50fake accounts on a popular gaming app among teenagers. With the help of these anonymous
00:56:54accounts, the news spread like wildfire. Soo Ji knew Baekhyun could control the mainstream media,
00:57:00but not every online platform. Ha Rin screams at her mother, demanding Da Yoon's reinstatement.
00:57:05Her mother shows her the school violence report and the article about Yoon Jung.
00:57:09You messed up. Don't take it out on me.
00:57:11Just then, Ha Rin's grandmother walks in, and Ha Rin instantly switches to sweet granddaughter mode.
00:57:17Her grandmother reiterates, I'll give you anything you want. No wonder. Ha Rin acts like she owns the
00:57:23place. The rebels celebrate with Ramen. Yi Rim is exhausted from debut preparations, and Jae Yoon left
00:57:29earlier. Soo Ji announces that three new members have agreed to help anonymously. While her friends chat,
00:57:34Soo Ji worries about Jae Yoon. That night, Ha Rin goes to Jae Yoon's house with scissors. She cuts Jae Yoon's bangs,
00:57:41and threatens to bully Soo Ji, and the others, unless Jae Yoon returns to F rank. Jae Yoon agrees to
00:57:47protect her friends. News of Soo Ji's father's corruption breaks online. Ha Rin also tells Jae Yoon's
00:57:53mother about Jae Yoon's past mistake. Jae Yoon apologizes to her mother and cries. The next morning,
00:57:59Soo Ji notices Jae Yoon's puffy eyes, but gets no response when she asks what's wrong. When Ha Rin walks in
00:58:05with freshly cut bangs, Soo Ji understands. During the midterm exam, Jae Yoon sits staring blankly at the
00:58:11paper. When the teacher leaves, Yoon Byol complains about question 17, claiming it wasn't on the review
00:58:17sheet. After the exam, as everyone compares answers, Yoon Byol only asks Do Ae about question 17. She
00:58:24clearly had prior knowledge of the test. Soo Ji is worried because Jae Yoon disappeared after the exam.
00:58:30Unable to focus, Soo Ji goes to the convenience store to vent to Seung Hwa. He plays a recording
00:58:35for her. Ji Young badmouthed Soo Ji and tried to convince Jae Yoon to betray her. But Jae Yoon defended
00:58:41Soo Ji and exposed Ji Young as Ha Rin's spy. Then, Seung Hwa plays the recording of Ha Rin threatening
00:58:48Jae Yoon. The next day, Jae Yoon is still withdrawn. When Soo Ji tries to talk to her, she walks away.
00:58:54Soo Ji sighs. You naive fool. She tells the others to give Jae Yoon space.
00:58:59The group moves on to their next plan. Ha Rin's group is falling apart. Soo Ji approaches Shin Ye,
00:59:05the chubby girl. I can't do this alone. Shin Ye hesitates, and the whole group shows up to support
00:59:10Soo Ji. Their next target is Ha Joon. Soo Ji texts her, promising success. If we fail,
00:59:17only I will be F rank. Ha Joon agrees, on the condition that she won't be implicated. Soo Ji now has 12
00:59:23members, including herself and Jae Yoon. Everyone asks about Jae Yoon. But Soo Ji says she's dealing with a
00:59:29family emergency. How come no one objected to this game being bullying before? Soo Ji asks the group,
00:59:35because they enjoyed the freedom to do whatever they wanted. As long as they weren't F rank,
00:59:39everything was fine. Soo Ji doesn't blame them. I probably would have done the same. She tells them
00:59:45they need 13 participants to break the game. If the majority abstain, there is no game. If we stand
00:59:51together, we'll succeed. Yi Rim visits Yoon Jung in the hospital, but doesn't go inside. Waiting in the
00:59:57hallway instead. She doesn't know that Yoo Wee follows her every move on Instagram.
01:00:01Yoo Wee discovers that Yi Rim will be performing at the school festival.
01:00:05On the day of the pyramid game vote, Soo Ji and the others cheer for Yi Rim at the festival.
01:00:10The idol performs beautifully, surrounded by adoring fans. Soo Ji keeps checking her watch.
01:00:16She's meeting someone at the pool and leaves abruptly. A person in a bear mascot costume is secretly
01:00:21watching Yi Rim. Back in the classroom, everyone is present except Soo Ji and Yi Rim. Da Yoon shows up
01:00:28unexpectedly, demanding to participate in the vote. Suddenly, sirens wail. Yi Rim is wheeled in on a
01:00:34stretcher. Unconscious, her arm dangling limply. Ha Rin announces they'll be choosing a permanent F rank.
01:00:41Someone who will be bullied until graduation. Soo Ji bursts in, furious, grabbing Ha Rin's shirt.
01:00:47Are you happy now? Because of your stupid pyramid game, Yoo Wee locked herself away.
01:00:52Ja Yoon cut herself. Yoon Jung lost her athletic career, and now this has happened to Yi Rim. Ha Rin drops
01:00:59the act, and admits to creating the game. She asks if anyone will volunteer to be the permanent F rank.
01:01:04Soo Ji says she can't trust Ha Rin, who hasn't punished Da Yoon according to the rules. As they argue,
01:01:10Yoon Byol and Ji Young support Ha Rin. Worried that Ja Yoon might volunteer, Soo Ji proposes a vote. But she
01:01:17declares, I won't choose anyone. They're all my friends. How many victims does this game need?
01:01:23The next one could be you. Anyone who wants to stop this madness, delete the app and stand up. If the
01:01:28majority agrees, the game ends. If not, we'll choose a permanent F rank. Ha Rin can't refuse. Ja Yoon is the
01:01:35first to stand. She overheard Ha Rin's plan to make Soo Ji the permanent F rank. Ha Rin knows that for
01:01:41someone like Ja Yoon, watching her friends suffer is worse than being F rank herself. Ja Yoon won't
01:01:47let Ha Rin win. Jae Hung stands next. Then Ji Ae, Seung Won, Shin Yi Yi Won, Yoo Rim, Hai Joon and two others.
01:01:56Each side has 11 votes. Soo Ji needs one more to win. The remaining students are either on Ha Rin's side,
01:02:02or too afraid to rebel. Da Yoon deletes the app and stands up. She wants to get back at Ha Rin,
01:02:08but Soo Ji rejects her. Da Yoon breaks the rules and is out of the game. Furious, Da Yoon lunges at Soo Ji,
01:02:15but Ja Yoon blocks her. Da Yoon attacks Ja Yoon. Unbeknownst to them, Seung Hwa is live streaming
01:02:21everything. Da Yoon continues her attack, but Ja Yoon fights back, wrestling her to the ground. Just as
01:02:27they're at a standstill, Do Ae announces that she's deleted the app. This is Soo Ji's ace in the hole.
01:02:32She met privately with Do Ae, urging her to step up. Do Ae actually disliked Ha Rin,
01:02:37and the pyramid game, but obeyed her father and didn't dare defy her. Only when she saw the class
01:02:43shift and the opportunity ripened did she agree to help Soo Ji. It was Do Ae who planted the second
01:02:48hidden camera. The final vote, 12 to end the game, 10 to continue. Soo Ji declares the game is over.
01:02:55The teachers, alerted by the YouTube live stream, rush to the classroom. Seung Hwa uses the distraction to
01:03:00sneak into the teacher's office and search for evidence of Mr. M's grade fixing scheme. The principal
01:03:06frantically searches for the camera, unaware they are live. When she finds it, she smashes it.
01:03:11The live stream was deleted, but many saw it and spread the news about Baekhyun Hai's twisted game.
01:03:17Everyone worries about Yi Rim, but when they visit the hospital, she's perfectly fine.
01:03:22The fainting was a staged act by Soo Ji and Yi Rim. Believing Yi Rim was seriously injured,
01:03:28swayed the vote in their favor. Dealing with someone like Ha Rin requires strategy,
01:03:33not just righteous indignation. Back at the pool, the mascot approaches Yi Rim,
01:03:38but Yui tackles them. Yi Rim gets caught in the crossfire. Yui, obsessively following Yi Rim on
01:03:44Instagram, noticed a fan's jealous comments. The fan was enraged whenever Yi Rim interacted with other
01:03:50girls and didn't reply to her messages. When the fan threatened to teach Yi Rim a lesson,
01:03:55Yui rushed to protect her idol. At the beginning of the junior year, Yi Rim voted for Yui, helping her
01:04:01escape F rank. Later, Yui reported the bullying to Mr. Im and was punished so severely that she
01:04:07dropped out. Despite this, she remained grateful to Yi Rim and became a devoted fan. Sung Hwa shows
01:04:13Soo Ji the files from Mr. Im's computer. Soo Ji suddenly remembers something and tells him about
01:04:18seeing Yui at the festival. Sung Hwa rushes to the school to find his sister. Yui is relieved to hear
01:04:24Yi Rim is okay. Sung Hwa is overjoyed that his sister finally left the house and interacted with someone.
01:04:31News of the bullying reaches the parents. Ha Rin begs her mother to transfer her to another school.
01:04:37But only if Ja Yoon is transferred too. Her mother is furious. Worse, Ha Rin's grandmother abandons her.
01:04:43Ha Rin goes too far this time, damaging the corporation's reputation. She orders Ha Rin out of
01:04:48the house. Soo Ji's father asks why she didn't tell him about the bullying. Soo Ji says she handled it
01:04:54herself, just like he taught her. Besides, he wouldn't have listened anyway. He can't argue. He always told her
01:05:00school as a microcosm of society. The next morning, Ha Rin threatens Ja Yoon again. But Ja Yoon has
01:05:06changed. She won't let Ha Rin use her as an excuse for self-destruction anymore. Reporters swarm the
01:05:11school gates, eager for gossip. Many students are absent. So the remaining students from a five are
01:05:17divided and integrated into other classes. The annex where a five used to be is sealed off. Due's father
01:05:23and Ha Rin's mother are trying to contain the damage? It turns out they're having an affair.
01:05:27The number he saved as Due is actually hers. She plans to blame everything on Ha Rin and Due to
01:05:33protect the corporation's image. It was all the kids doing. The school knew nothing and acted swiftly to
01:05:39resolve the issue. To her, Baek Yan Corporation is more important than any child, even her lover's
01:05:45daughter. Due's father retaliates, hiring journalists to expose Ha Rin as the mastermind. It's every man for
01:05:51himself now. Ha Rin meets Ja Yoon at an elementary school outside the city, which looks exactly like
01:05:57the Baek Yan annex. It turns out, Ha Rin's real name is So Yoon. She and Ja Yoon were best friends in
01:06:03elementary school. So Yoon was smart and liked to show off, which made her a target for bullies.
01:06:09Ja Yoon tried to defend her, but accidentally revealed that So Yoon was an orphan. The bullying escalated,
01:06:15and Ja Yoon, timid, didn't defend her friend. So Yoon was devastated by this betrayal.
01:06:21She was later adopted by the Baek family and renamed Ha Rin, but she never felt loved. Her
01:06:26mother only cared about money, and her grandmother only valued her good grades and flawless behavior.
01:06:31Her lonely, unhappy childhood warped her personality. What made Ha Rin resent Ja Yoon even more was their
01:06:38reunion a year ago. Ja Yoon was delighted to see her old friend. Ha Rin, now beautiful and dressed in
01:06:43designer clothes, seemed to be doing well. You seem happy. I'm so glad. Ja Yoon had no idea how deeply those
01:06:50words wounded Ha Rin. Despite her wealth, Ha Rin was deeply unhappy. Ha Rin was furious that Ja Yoon
01:06:57presumed to forgive herself without permission. That's why she made Ja Yoon F rank and wanted to
01:07:01torment her forever. Soo Ji is enraged. You're just using Ja Yoon as an excuse for your disgusting behavior.
01:07:08You created the pyramid game and bullied Yoo Wee before you met Ja Yoon again. Stop playing the victim.
01:07:13It's pathetic. Ja Yoon doesn't blame Ha Rin. She regrets not being there for her all those years.
01:07:19But Ha Rin throws a box of thumbtacks at Ja Yoon's face, rejecting her apology. Suddenly the fire alarm
01:07:25blares. Ha Rin set a fire inside. She wants Ja Yoon to live with regret. She's completely lost it. An
01:07:32explosion rocks the building and smoke billows out. As Soo Ji and Ja Yoon try to escape, Ha Rin collapses.
01:07:39Firefighters arrived, just in time. Ja Yoon confesses to Soo Ji that she tried to help Ji Ye and the
