Netizens believe Netflix fumbled the bag.

The highly anticipated Netflix K-Drama Hierarchy premiered on June 7 with all seven episodes, making for perfect binge-watching. This high-school-based thriller stars Lee Chae Min, Roh Jeong Eui, Kim Jae Won, Lee Won Jung, and Ji Hye Won.

Jooshin High School is the most prestigious school in South Korea. The school was established by the conglomerate Jooshin Group. Normally, only students that are chosen at birth to attend Jooshin High School are allowed. Those students include Jung Jae-I (Roh Jeong-Eui), who is is the first daughter of the family that runs Jaeyool Group, Kim Ri-An (Kim Jae-Won) who is the successor of the Jooshin Group, Yoon He-Ra (Ji Hye-Won) who is the youngest daughter of trading company International Yoon, and Lee Woo-Jin (Lee Won-Jung) who is second son of a powerful politician family.

Meanwhile, Kang Ha (Lee Chae-Min) is transferred to Jooshin High School. He possesses a pure and innocent smile, but he holds a secret. Due to him, the concrete world of Jooshin High School begins to crack.

While the K-Drama primarily focused on the “love triangle” of Jae I, Kang Ha, and Ri An, one relationship intrigued viewers more.

That is He Ra and Woo Jin.

Like Ri An and Jae I, the two have been friends for years. Yet, they were kept apart for various reasons. For instance, He Ra had a one-night stand with another student at Woo Jin’s birthday party but harbored feelings for her best friend’s boyfriend, Ri An. On the other hand, Woo Jin had a shocking and questionable relationship with their teacher.

Yet, throughout the K-Drama’s seven episodes, we see that Woo Jin cares more about He Ra than anyone else. By the end, he even confesses his feelings.

the chemistry is chemistrying between them, like c’mon, he got those heart eyes all the time when she’s there in the same room. we were robbed so badly #leewoojin #yoonhera #hierarchy #hierarchyedit #jihyewonleewonjung #hierarchykdrama viral #fypツ #kdramas #kdramaedit

Still, there was no indication they ended up together, and viewers felt robbed. He Ra and Woo Jin had so much “wasted chemistry” that they never became a couple or even shared a kiss. Many are saying the writers and director “fumbled the bag” regarding this couple.

As the finale’s post-credit scene indicated there might be a Season 2, we can only hope to see Woo Jin and He Ra become an official couple.

Make it happen, Netflix!
