Is Pyramid Game good? I need something to watch and i saw someone recommend it on the shows thread but they didn't say much.
Depends. Do you like high school settings and are you willing to suspend your disbelief in the name of entertainment? The whole premise and villain are a little ridiculous to say the least, but that's what you get with a somewhat-on-nose social commentary on hierarchies, chaebol, and corruption; all placed within a drama high school setting that is obviously aimed at teens and young adults. Not saying adults can't enjoy it, but you get what I mean. Personally, I enjoy it because of how outrageous the whole premise is, especially with such an over-the top and ridiculous (almost camp) villain.
Whenever she threatens someone in her cutsie Gucci/Ralph Lauren getup with her deadpan stare (and semi-bad acting) and the other person just trembles in fear... I can't help but laugh. Same for the ridiculous games and scenarios she comes up with. Like... is girl brainstorming in her bedroom all night to come up with this shit or does she have some sociologist with a PhD in mass-psychology on speed dial?
Personally, I am always up for anything with a mostly female cast with multifaceted characters. There being gay characters is an added bonus. The pacing of the whole thing is quite good, so there is rarely a dull moment. Give it a go, anon!
They're trembling because they know she can literally control every facet of their life, their future and everyone around them.. Not because she's got her Gucci gear on. Lol. Agree though some aspects are very far fetched. I'd rec it to anyone to give it a go. Sad it's going to be a 1-and-done show.
Obviously. Her character is just very ''anime villain'' to me, that's why it's so funny. Her acting super unhinged and coming up with insane scenarios (like dodgeball and paintball) would work better if the character wasn't written so blatantly and was a little more mysterious. The writers and director want us to take all of this very serious, while if you think about it for a second most of the scenarios are just ridiculous all around.
That's why I can't take Ha-rin serious as a villain, the way they dress her up and the mediocre acting just adds to it. Don't mean any of this in a bad way, it's what makes the show entertaining as hell to me and I am living for it.
