(Baekyeon Girls' High School)
What's she doing?
My gosh.
What did I do wrong?
- What did I... - Darn it.
Why is she being so scary?
Is it our fault she's an outcast?
Why take it out on us?
- Psycho. - Should we suffer instead?
Is she crazy?
- What is she doing? - What is she...
- Shouldn't we stop her? - Is she really...
Stop her.
- Do something. - I'm scared.
- Try stopping her. - How?
- I'm scared. - What is she doing?
What are you doing?
Stop it.
You.
It's all your fault.
What did I do to upset you?
Darn you!
Blood...

- Hello. - Hello.
(3 months later)
- Hello. - Hello.
(Baekyeon Girls' High School)
- We're late again. - Three Two One's at the gate.
Hurry.
I couldn't even eat breakfast.
Three,
two,
one, stop.
You're first.
- Number one. - Everyone from here...
gets a penalty for being late.
You don't even have a name tag?
Year, class, name.
I'm a transfer student.
So what?
Can a transfer student be late?
My homeroom teacher told me to come by 8:10am.
That I'd feel awkward if I came early on my first day.
It's a lie.
Sorry. I'll be on time from now on.
Go ahead.
- You, girls. - I'm so darn jealous.
I should've been transferred today.
Ma'am, this is discrimination.
Choi Yi Hwa, chair of the board of Baekyeon Group,
one of the country's top three companies,
was presented with an award for advancing education.
Baekyeon Group is successful in many fields and businesses,
and the various subsidiaries contribute to society...
Sorry. Are you okay?
- Sorry. - No.
It's fine.
I'm really sorry.
The year 2 teachers' office is on the 4th floor.
- Sorry. - Thank you.
The fourth floor?
How did she know?
(Year 2 Teachers' Office)
Here are your name tags.
Lose them and you must buy new ones.
Okay.
We changed the student number system starting this semester.
It's in alphabetical order, and you're number 11.
You're from Jecheon?
There's a famous place there.
- Cheongpungho Lake? - Yes.
The Oksunbong Suspension Bridge is famous too.
There's a great noodle place in the train station.
You should eat there if you're in Jecheon.
Even the locals keep going back.
You're quite the marketer.
Do you have shares in the place?
What?
Class Five's new student?
I guess so?
Let's go.
It's a long walk.
Our classroom is in the annex.
It's not at all like the main building, is it?
It was built last year.
Just so you know, our classroom's the only one here.
- It's just Year 2 Class 5? - Yes.
There wasn't enough room in the main building.
The girls are lucky enough to study in a new classroom...
while the poor teacher is forced...
to exercise like a bug, day in and day out.
Hey, was that the right slang?
The bug term.
What?
Never mind.
I heard you switched schools a lot.
Your father's a career soldier?
Yes.
Say hello.
She's our transfer student.
She was away from Seoul for a while,
- so help her settle in. - I'm sick of transferring.
Hi. I'm from Seoul.
I'm Sung Soo Ji. Nice to meet you.
Let's be friends.
Applause.
Hello. My name is...
Sung Soo Ji. Nice to meet you.
Settling into a new class is a talent of mine.
I'm Sung Soo Ji.
I've been to many schools, but it's my first girls' high.
Let's be friends.
What's this? What's wrong with them?
Do you see the empty seat? That's yours.
Okay.
Look out for the new transfer student.
What kind of atmosphere is this?
Whatever. I just have to avoid two types.
- The losers. - There will be an inspection.
Who's on weekly duty?
Hi.
And the bullies.
Who's sleeping?
Wake her up.
The second notice is...
Pinkeye is going around.
Before and after meals and going to the toilet,
be sure to wash your hands, okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
If you think you have symptoms,
tell the school nurse or me so you can get treated.
The midterm exam's coming up. Study hard.
- Yes. - Yes.
Sorry about that. The teacher...
Don't act like we're friends.
Shoot. I think...
I'm screwed.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're Soo Ji, right?
Where did you transfer from?
From Jecheon in Chungcheong Province.
Chungcheong Province?
"If you were that busy, you should've come yesterday."
That's how they talk there, right?
In Jecheon,
do you know the Haneul House?
An orphanage in Sinwol-dong.
My grandma took me there a few times to volunteer.
I know the place. My old school was near...
She's the noisiest one here.
I can't stand that witch.
Why are you acting so tough?
You can't even talk to her face.
More like, I refuse to.
Stop your bluff.
Soo Ji.
Isn't Ha Rin so beautiful?
I'm not.
Ye Rim's prettier.
She's an idol trainee.
Im Ye Rim.
First period is music in the Music Room.
Move fast so I can lock the doors.
I'll lock you in if you're not out in the next minute.
That's Seo Do Ah, the class president.
The top student in our school.
You get her character, right?
Yes.
Let's go to the Music Room.
(Sung Soo Ji)
Who's supposed to sing today?
We started from the back of the roster, right?
- Pyo Ji Ae sang. - Ma'am!
I want to hear Im Ye Rim sing.
Let Ye Rim go first!
- Im Ye Rim! - Im Ye Rim!
- No, we can't do that. Be quiet. - Im Ye Rim!
- Silence!
You lot have no class at all.
Ye Rim, can you sing today?
Ma'am.
I accept song requests.
- Im Ye Rim! - Ye Rim!
Ye Rim. Sing "Magic."
- Im Ye Rim! - Im Ye Rim!
- I love you. - Im Ye Rim!
- You startled me.
It's you again?
Why are you here now when class started ages ago?
If you want to slack off that bad, why not do that away from school?
How many times has it been?
If you ruin the atmosphere...
Sorry.
- My bad. - Sit down.
When powerful music plays
We fall into the magic hole
Raise your voice and sing along
We are magic
The more you see the more charming we are
- Ye Rim? She's really good. - Awesome, right?
She's in the debut lineup.
She has everything.
Good looks and good grades.
I bet she'll go to a great college.
Ye Rim, look over here.
Ye Rim, over here!
I'll tell you my secret
Let's Secret time
Oh, my magic, magic, magic
She's the class idol.
Oh, my gosh
You'll be surprised like that
Magic, magic, magic
You're leaving already?
Bye, Soo Ji.
See you tomorrow.
- Take care. - Bye.
Welcome.
How was your first day? Did you feel intimidated?
She's not like you. I bet she made friends already.
I can't lose Soo Ji.
Let's visit her in Seoul next month.
(Jecheon Willow High Year 2 Class 3, Leave chatroom)
(Leave chatroom, Yes)
That'll be 2.1 dollars. Do you need a plastic bag?
No.
Soo Ji, I love your profile pic.
How about tteokbokki after school tomorrow?
Can you handle the spice?
(Sung Soo Ji)
Deal. Tteokbokki is precious.
School is a microcosm of society.
- Hi. - I must figure out...
who will help or hurt me...
and find my place among these many people.
So I don't crash-land...
too high or too low.
Ye Rim, look over here.
Right in the middle, where it's comfy and average.
Did you get that from Zigzag?
I wanted to get it, but it was sold out.
I couldn't find it offline.
(1. Category, 2. Nature, 3. Theme, 4. Characteristics)
I smell cigarettes.
People like her are just harmful.
It's so obvious.
Let's not get involved.
How pretty.
- Look. - You're bad at this.
Isn't this Ye Rim?
It's so fascinating. She's practically a celebrity.
She is a celebrity.
- Yes. - She is.
She's not here today?
- Yes. - Does she miss school often?
It's number four.
The answer to question 15...
is number three, okay?
The answer to question 16 is number 2.
- Nice. - Sorry.
Do you want to borrow it?
You can't handle spices, right?
- I totally can. - Hey, this is nice.
- Is it nice? - Don't touch my food.
Okay.
Where are the students from the other classes?
Do you want this?
- What are you doing? - That's a warning.
What's up?
Tomorrow's this month's last Thursday, right?
We have HR.
- What do we do then? - HR?
This and that.
I want to try it too.
They look so much alike.
Do you think I'd feel bad?
Oh, no.
Sorry.
Did it hurt, Ja Eun?
Nice!
Here it goes!
Stop it!
My gosh.
What was that about?
You must hate sitting next to her.
Myoung Ja Eun is scary.
I'd hate to sit with her.
This class is weird.
When do we switch the seating?
I want to sit in the middle of the third column.
That went in really hard.
- Can you not squirm? - Throw harder.
That was an insane throw.
Here it goes!
She's tough.
Did you see that?
Yes!
Here I go.
Darn it.
Anyone can tell she's the outcast.
Why do they say they're scared of her?
You jerk. You aren't getting it.
Why are you always ruining our mood?
Do better.
Why are you squirming so much?
Report them.
If you're scared, you can transfer and get away.
Wouldn't anything be better than putting up with it?
It went on for a while, right?
I'm being a nosy person.
I'm running the teacher's errand.
He'll think I did this.
The bullying will be reduced by half...
when we enter our third year.
We'll go to different classes,
and then we'll graduate and...
Sorry.
That's something only a nosy stranger can say.
I'll just give you this.
Those scars. You...
Soo Ji!
You were taking so long, so...
You're not done yet? I'll wait outside.
What day is it?
What?
- Thursday. - Go to the classroom now.
Hurry!
What is she doing?
Can you close the door? We'll begin HR.
Is Myoung Ja Eun absent again?
The transfer student will need an explanation.
On the last Thursday of each month,
we play a game in HR.
A game?
Download the application.
The password for the download is "rank."
It's about ranks?
(Download Pyramid Game)
We play a game? Out of the blue?
What game is it?
The Pyramid Game.
Simply put, it's a popularity vote.
It's not compulsory.
If you don't want to participate, you can act like Myoung Ja Eun.
"Act like Myoung Ja Eun?"
Why are you acting so tough?
You can't even talk to her face.
More like, I refuse to.
You must hate sitting next to her.
I'd hate to sit with her.
(Pyramid Game)
(Enter security code to download the app.)
(Downloading the Pyramid Game app.)
I'll continue to explain.
Depending on the number of votes you get,
you'll get a grade between A and D.
Like this.
The grade equals your rank in the class.
Those in Grade A enjoy a few privileges.
One of them is that the lower grades...
cannot go against them.
You'll figure things out in time.
And...
There's an outlying Grade F.
Zero votes put you in Grade F,
and Grade F...
is the polar opposite of Grade A.
The polar opposite?
They'll pick an outcast...
to mess with her legally?
That means,
someone here has to be the outcast.
What stupid game is this?
This will help you understand.
(The 13th Pyramid Game, Type the name)
Each person gets five votes.
One person can vote for five others.
(Voting complete)
(Calculating voting results)
You can't vote for yourself, of course.
And you can't vote for one person multiple times.
As I said, it's not mandatory.
If you don't want to participate, delete the app and leave.
However, those who are absent for the vote...
don't get any.
It's not mandatory?
Are you kidding me?
Then the 13th Pyramid Game...
will begin.
I think Ji Young will vote for me.
And Sung A...
Let's not hope for much.
One vote? Two if I'm lucky.
I feel bad for Ja Eun, but Grade F...
It'll be you again.
(Park Ji Young)
(Class Motto: Everyone's happiness, everyone's class)
I gave you a vote.
- Thanks. - I went up a grade.
Look.
I'm in Grade C now.
Remember your places.
"My..."
"grade..."
"went up."
- The three of us are Grade D. - Yes.
The three of us are in Grade D.
Sorry, but I'm in Grade C.
Hey, act accordingly.
Zero votes.
I told you last time, right?
- On the second floor of... - I visited them yesterday.
The captain was out, but I met his wife.
I bought a small potted plant with the debit card.
Well done.
Be sure to dress nicely.
Okay.
When will you be reappointed?
I won't move after a month like last time.
Don't worry.
We'll move in about three months, right?
Yes. What about friends?
Do you have a few?
Yes.
It'll be three months at most.
It's okay. Let's hang in until then.
Our break is ten minutes from now,
and those in Grade F start with a hazing ritual.
Stand up, Sung Soo Ji.
I must never act like a pushover. Never.
A hazing ritual?
That's childish, Da Yeon.
What if I refuse?
- You refuse? - Yes.
If Grade A gives permission,
they can touch you too.
Grade A?
That's me.
Hang in there.
Let go.
How about now?
Are you up for the hazing ritual?
If you don't get it, I'll say it in English.
Just shut up...
and do it.
Get lost.
You witch.
There are no marks.
Even after that beating.
She made it so she'd leave no visible marks.
(Pyramid Game, Sung Soo Ji, Login)
(A, B, C, D, 4 grades, Grade F get 0 votes and are outcast.)
(5 votes each, You cannot vote for yourself or the same person twice)
Why are they playing this kind of game?
They seemed weird from the start.
- It's locked. - What?
Who's in there?
I saw...
Sung Soo Ji go inside.
What? That psycho.
Hey. Open the door.
I'll tell Da Yeon.
They created accomplices.
This game...
makes everyone even and guilt-free.
- Don't you hear me? - Grade F?
They're using the game as an excuse.
Open this door.
Hey, Grade F!
- This class... - What are you doing?
- is crazy. - Grade F!
- Open up. - Open the door.
(Debate Room)
- Seung Yi. Yesterday... - Yes?
They act as if it's natural that Grade F gets bullied.
Complete and utter indifference.
In this game, that's the order.
Just out of curiosity.
Why do you keep blowing that?
Don't you know about Pavlov's dog?
I'm a trainer.
For you.
Woof.
Whenever I blow this whistle,
you'll do your very best as Grade F.
You know?
As if.
Guess what this is.
It's a narcotic analgesic.
Sit back down.
I could shove it down your throat.
But I'll give you a chance.
The probability is...
one in three.
Three options.
Pick one.
But here's the deal.
Pick a dud and you'll eat it.
What will you do?
How about a bet?
The probability is 50 percent.
Did I just take the pill or not?
- What? - Guess.
If you guess right, I'll vote for you next time.
But if you guess wrong,
leave me alone for the rest of the day.
How interesting.
I'll play along.
I bet you...
haven't eaten.
You're betting that I didn't take it?
Wait.
Did you take it?
Hey.
You took it.
We have a deal.
Darn it!
(Voice recording)
Sorry.
Go in a bit later.
Da Yeon's looking for the Grade Fs.
Thanks.
Soo Ji.
Hang in there.
It's not your fault.
(General)
Oh, come on. I told you voice recording wasn't allowed.
No evidence collection, please.
You'll be in big trouble if you continue to be like this.
What? A period app?
(Today is Day 1 of menstruation.)
This is funny. It's her day.
Does anyone have any pads to lend to Soo Ji?
- No. - No.
No one?
What do we do? Poor Soo Ji.
Her skirt might turn all red.
What do we do?
These three months won't just fly by.
It's a lot worse...
than I expected.
I must find a way out of Grade F.
What if she can't breathe? Can you breathe?
I've seen an article about the domoji.
It's a type of torture from the Joseon Dynasty.
Why didn't you just stay still?
Gosh, she's so strong.
Here's another sheet for you.
- Soo Ji, let me try it once. - Gosh, Sung Soo Ji.
You've become friends with them?
Yes, we're great friends now.
It's great to get along with each other.
So will you let me try it on?
- Come on. - Hey, let's go.
Are you okay?
I must find a way.
Another way besides the security camera footage or voice recording.
You all must be stressed out.
Let's do the F Challenge.
I'll temporarily allow you to touch those in Grade F.
Hey.
My gosh!
- Gosh. - You must be crazy.
Come this way.
Hurry up.
- Run! - Hurry.
Darn it.
Let's think.
Let's think, Sung Soo Ji.
A way out of Grade F.
Da Yeon's looking for the Grade Fs.
Go to the classroom now.
Hurry!
The ones in Grade F.
Myoung Ja Eun. What happened to her?
(Study Hall)
Right here.
It was as expected. Myoung Ja Eun got zero votes too.
She gave up.
But why did she not participate?
(Grade F: Sung Soo Ji, Myoung Ja Eun, 0 votes)
Pyo Ji Ae got one vote.
Joo Seung Yi got one vote.
(Grade B: Im Ye Rim, 13 votes)
Im Ye Rim.
She's in Grade B? And not in Grade A?
Seo Do Ah and Kim Da Yeon are in Grade A with 15 votes.
I can't believe that Myoung Ja Eun.
There are five minutes left until the bell.
Keep quiet.
- Yes. - Yes.
Thank you for helping me out on that day, Ja Eun.
Don't you remember? It was on Thursday.
You helped me out, right?
You must be really nice.
I want to be good friends with you.
In the next game, I will get out of Grade F with you.
What's wrong with her?
- She must be insane. - What is she saying?
What's wrong with her?
What are you doing in front of everyone? I told you not to...
Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm in Grade F too.
What?
You're in Grade F too?
Why? You had friends around you.
- Was it because of me? - Forget about it.
I'm not lying. There will be a way.
You know Pyo Ji Ae and Joo Seung Yi in Grade D, right?
They are just one vote away from becoming Grade F.
They seemed like best friends.
We can get in between them and use that anxiety.
- What? - First,
we have to vote for each other, no matter what.
(Myoung Ja Eun)
Using that, we can approach Pyo Ji Ae and Joo Seung Yi.
Say that out of the 2, only the 1st one can exchange votes with us.
It's that simple. That's all we need to do.
One of them is bound to fall for it.
They both might fall for it.
I'll do it.
I'm first, right?
We can pick one of them then.
The one whom we decide not to choose will become a Grade F instead of us.
I told you it was all about anxiety.
The pressure, anxiety, and fear of getting betrayed first.
It will work 100 percent.
How do we trample on that transfer student?
You all saw her getting close with Myoung Ja Eun, right?
Getting away from Grade F, my foot. She's making it so obvious too.
That fool.
Seo Do Ah. What do you think?
I'm not sure.
I thought she was smart. Smarter than I thought.
Smart?
So she made it look obvious on purpose?
Right. If Soo Ji wants to earn votes,
she can't look like a loser even if she's in Grade F.
You have to have a good image to earn votes.
Darn it! Was that why she acted like that?
That sly fox.
What do we do, Da Yeon? What if she gets Ja Eun on her side?
Woo Yi.
Bang Woo Yi.
Do some thinking if you want to hang out with us.
No matter what Soo Ji says,
do you think Ja Eun will do exactly what she tells her to do?
It's Myoung Ja Eun, after all.
- No. - What? Why not?
I won't put someone in Grade F instead of me.
Are you fine with doing that?
What? What is she saying?
Hey, can I ask you a favor?
Please tell me you're acting.
How were all of the others like when you were getting beat up?
They all were glad that it wasn't them getting beat up.
Everyone in the class is crazy, and you're going to be the good guy?
I still won't do it.
People like you...
disgust me.
I can't believe it.
(Report school violence)
I'm on night duty.
Okay.
The lost item.
Is it...
(Sung Soo Ji)
It is yours.
That will be 1.1 dollars. Do you need a bag?
No.
(Light and savory)
- Do you want it? - No.
- Hey, let's go eat lunch together. - I don't want to.
Myoung Ja Eun. Do you want to be my partner in English class?
- No. - Gosh.
Gosh, she's a brick wall.
Oh, okay.
She's just mad.
She wasn't just acting like the good guy?
That means you're just stupid.
Why must I take sides with...
someone like Gandhi, Mother Teresa, or Buddha?
This is so frustrating.
What do I do if I can't persuade her until the next game?
Should I move on to Plan B now?
Hey, do you want to...
Are you laughing at me?
If I can't get Myoung Ja Eun, should I find the one behind this?
Speaking of which, who started this game?
Kim Da Yeon? Seo Do Ah? Or...
someone else hiding in camouflage?
I just copied it. It's a pyramid.
(1 year ago)
I like it.
What's that?
A pyramid?
No.
It's just a triangle.
Why do you play this game?
What an interesting question.
I've never heard of a question like that in this class.
What do you mean why?
You're a trainee.
You might have more to lose...
than what you might earn.
I do have quite a lot to earn.
My secret...
and...
my accomplice.
What is it?
Are you missing me already?
- Yes, let's do that. - Goodness.
- Hey! - Ye Rim!
- I'll see you later! - See you later!
- Hey! - Hey!
- Hi. - Hi, Ye Rim.
(Baekyeon Girls' High School)
Just like Da Yeon said,
Ja Eun wouldn't dare get in our way.
We'll make sure to teach Soo Ji a lesson.
Don't worry about it.
What should we do after school?
Can I visit your studio?
Myoung Ja Eun, Im Ye Rim, Seo Do Ah,
Kim Da Yeon, Bang Woo Yi, Koo Seol Ha, and so on.
I don't have enough information.
The loser. What was her name?
I have...
something to tell you.
To me?
You're Ko Eun Byeol, right?
Come to the Music Room.
I'll be there.
Can everyone turn to page ten?
We're going to practice some conversation, okay?
Today, we're going to talk about our life goals.
I was best friends with Ja Eun.
But I exchanged votes with someone else instead of her.
I was just so scared.
And...
Just tell me you betrayed her.
Betrayal.
Was that why Ja Eun had that serious look on her face?
Because it was something she went through?
But why is she telling me this?
You...
said that to Ja Eun.
You said you wanted to get out of Grade F with her.
Did you really mean it?
You want to feel less guilty through me?
She can come in quite handy.
I do wish for that to happen.
Ja Eun is a nice person too.
But I don't know much since I'm a transfer student.
Either about the kids...
or the game.
Because I want to tell people my stories.
You understand?
I need to find out if it was Im Ye Rim or not...
who made this crazy game.
That will help me make a better plan.
About the girls in our class?
There's nothing much I can say.
First, Ye Rim...
So that name does come up first.
Sorry. Keep going.
Im Ye Rim. How is she in this class?
Ye Rim is a social butterfly.
She has everything.
I heard she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
She never boasted about it.
I heard the kids talk about it.
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth?
What about the others? Kim Da Yeon, Seo Do Ah, Bang Woo Yi, Koo Seol Ha.
Oh, there's Baek...
I'll see you. Have a good day.
- Bye. - Bye.
Just wait right there, Soo Ji.
I'll get you something good for you.
Open wide. Here comes the protein.
I hope you like it.
Darn it. Where are you spitting it out, you crazy wench?
Hey.
What? Where is she looking?
Im Ye Rim?
Come on.
A handmark will be reported for school violence.
Don't leave evidence.
This is what we can do.
We should put them in her clothes.
This song.
You're always copying people, Bang Woo Yi.
You copycat.
Copy?
(Chair of the Board, Choi Yi Hwa)
Stop.
I'll do anything you tell me to do. Please stop.
I've heard that song.
Who was it?
Whom did I hear that from?
(1 month ago)
(Principal Im Soon Ae)
So...
you want the transfer student to be in that class?
Class Five.
Are you okay?
The smell of cigarettes?
I smell cigarettes.
Oh, no!
Hang in there.
It's not your fault.
It was you.
