Having a rather heavy topic combined with scenes that do not match the 15+ label and the character's age makes Korean audiences really unhappy.
Audience comments:
– Korean movies are becoming more and more overdone, becoming offensive.
– Oh 15+, is it comfortable for students to watch? Even though I know OTT movies, age restrictions don't help…
– I feel tired when there are so many Korean movies about school bullying. And oh this movie even has a sex scene.
– There really are no limits anymore. I like Lee Chae Min but I think I won't watch it if the movie has offensive scenes and is not age-appropriate.
Hierarchy revolves around children who are born at the finish line. The film's setting is Jooshin High School, the most prestigious school in Korea, founded by Jooshin Group, where the top 0.01% of students gather. Normally, only young people who are “selected” from birth are allowed to enroll.
