Netflix‘s anticipated K-Drama Hierarchy premiered on June 7 with all seven episodes, giving netizens something to binge-watch over the weekend. 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.

The K-Drama primarily focused on the complicated “love triangle” of Jae I, Kang Ha, and Ri An.
Yet, viewers cared more for the complex relationship between He Ra and Woo Jin.
It’s funny that before the release, we were all convinced that Woojin and Hera were together as a powerful couple, only for it to turn out that Woojin has a one-sided love for Hera.
Anyway, the chemistry is still on top; They carried the whole show!

Along with Ri An and Jae I, Woo Jin and He Ra have been friends for many years. Although Woo Jin loved He Ra, they were kept apart for numerous reasons. He Ra not only had a one-sided crush on her best friend’s boyfriend, but she had sex with another student at Woo Jin’s birthday party! If that wasn’t bad enough, Woo Jin had a shocking, questionable, and intimate relationship with their teacher…
This surprised me more than the drugs and literal murder in this show 😭😭😭#hierarchy #HierarchyEp2 pic.twitter.com/oYtD8f80I0

Regardless of these characters’ flaws, viewers couldn’t help but ship them throughout the K-Drama’s seven episodes. We were given hope that the two would go from friends to lovers when Woo Jin “chose” He Ra over everyone else by the end of the series. Yet, it remains to be seen whether or not they really became a couple.
@hellburnes 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

your man can’t even stop talking to his ex but lee woojin sent jaei ABROAD cos he thought hera hated her. action speaks louder than words! he’s the standard fr

Viewers felt robbed that we never got to really see He Ra and Woo Jin as a couple. Actors Lee Won Jung and Ji Hye Won had so much chemistry, and fans feel it was totally “wasted,” as they never even shared a kiss onscreen, although we got a few cute interactions, including an epilogue.

Now, not only are Hierarchy viewers shipping this couple and praying they are endgame in a potential Season 2 (as hinted by the finale’s post-credits scene)…

But it appears the actors themselves are shipping it, too.

First of all, the Hierarchy co-stars have history. They previously worked together on the 2023 K-Drama My Perfect Stranger.

Recently, Won Jung’s followers noticed he had been sharing all of Hye Won’s Instagram posts to his Instagram Stories. It’s giving “supportive boyfriend” vibes.

Yet, their interactions in the comment section of posts have netizens wondering if they’re interrupting. The co-stars have been “cosplaying” as their characters, being extra flirty!

If all that wasn’t enough to make you believe their love is real, Won Jung liked and commented on Hye Won’s latest Instagram post, and he’s 100% Woo Jin. He even replied to a fan’s comment, suggesting they should date.
