In the immersive world of Korean entertainment, where each narrative leap and character development is keenly watched by an eager audience, Ryu DaIn’s recent portrayal in the Tving original series “Pyramid Game” stands out as a beacon of exceptional talent. Released on the last 29th, the series has quickly captivated viewers with its gripping storyline and compelling characters, particularly the F-grade student, Myeong Ja-eun, played by Ryu DaIn.
Ryu DaIn’s Myeong Ja-eun is a character who, despite being constantly downtrodden and subjected to horrific school violence, harbors a deep affection for people and shines brightest amidst the crowd. Throughout episodes one and two, Ryu delivers a highly engaging performance, transitioning from a victim of brutal school bullying to someone who, with the encouragement of Seong Soo-ji (played by Kim Jiyeon), starts to see a glimmer of hope and change.
“Pyramid Game” delves into the dark underbelly of school hierarchy, where Myeong Ja-eun, initially perceived as a troublemaker due to her sensitivity towards habitual tardiness, emerges as a victim of relentless bullying. Her reluctance to escape her F-grade status by victimizing someone elseโ”I won’t do it. I won’t make someone else an F for me. Are you okay with that? Because I’m not. I absolutely despise people like you”โhighlights a moral compass amidst the chaos.
However, the narrative takes a turn when Myeong Ja-eun, despite rejecting Seong Soo-ji’s initial overture and feeling let down by her classmates who made her an F-grade to avoid being bullied themselves, finds herself swayed by Seong Soo-ji’s plea to help dismantle the “Pyramid Game” after being rescued by Lim Joo-hyung (played by Choi Seongwon). Her decision to join the game and the subsequent reveal of the results leave the audience on edge, eager to see what comes next.
Ryu DaIn’s portrayal of Myeong Ja-eun in the Tving original series “Pyramid Game,” which airs new episodes every Friday, is not just a testament to her acting prowess but also a compelling reason for viewers to tune in. As the series unfolds, the anticipation for Myeong Ja-eun’s journey and the ultimate fate of the “Pyramid Game” continues to build, promising more intrigue and drama.
In a world where school violence is often a hidden scourge, “Pyramid Game” offers a raw and insightful look into the struggles and resilience of its victims, with Ryu DaIn’s performance serving as a poignant reminder of the power of hope and change. As we await future episodes, one thing is clear: “Pyramid Game” is a series that not only entertains but also challenges its viewers to think deeply about the issues it portrays.
