Premiere Watch: Bitch X Rich
by missvictrix
Time slot: Wednesday
Broadcaster: Wavve
Genre: Thriller, youth, mystery
Episode count: 10
Reasons to watch: Oh Wavve, you shouldn’t have! When the drama formerly known as Cheongdam International High School gets the English title of Bitch X Rich it tells you just what you need to know, amirite? Grabbing some fan attention due to Red Velvet’s Yeri in the lead, the high school drama pits the bitchy, rich, popular, beautiful, and powerful girl of a prestigious high school against the poor, shy, and decidedly more normal student played by Lee Eun-saem.
As a trade against keeping her mouth shut as a murder witness, our more innocent heroine is transferred to study at Cheongdam high school — and is it just me or does this sound like the terrible/terrifying remake of Boys Before Flowers where Jan-di has to deal with more than getting covered in flour, and her nemesis isn’t an immature chaebol heir who worships her, but a murder suspect who’s far more vicious. Either that, or it’s the alt universe backstory for The Glory that we didn’t know we wanted (or just didn’t want). Anyway. We’ll have to watch and find out.
TL;DR: Bitchy rich girl versus poor frightened girl at prestigious high school
