Missing "Pyramid Game" hours are officially open. So, here are some K-Dramas like "Pyramid Game" that will help fill the void.
Ishani Sarkar, Kpopmap Editor"Pyramid Game" was easily one of the best K-Dramas of 2024 so far. It impressed viewers from all over the world with its simple yet effective plot and all the rising actresses in the cast delivered stellar performances, etching the K-Drama in our minds.
It hasn't been long since "Pyramid Game" ended, and we're already suffering from "missing Pyramid Game" syndrome. So, if you're looking for some riveting, well-written, thrilling K-Dramas to fill the void of "Pyramid Game", check out these K-Dramas that you may like!
Cast: Yoon ChanYoung, Park JiHu, Cho YiHyun, Lomon, Yoo InSoo, Lee YouMi & more
"All Of Us Are Dead" is a K-Zombie thriller that explores more complex themes like loss of innocence, human nature, the dangers of mob mentality, survival and sacrifice, actions and their consequences, and the importance of trust, self-discovery, hope, and friendship.
It is more action-packed than "Pyramid Game" (it is a zombie thriller, after all), but it revolves around similar ideas and will definitely engross you. Once again, the cast, full of rising and rookie actors, do a fantastic job of bringing the story to life with conviction, which contributes majorly to the immersion of the story.
The action choreography is top notch and the pacing is also just right. "All Of Us Are Dead" is coming back with a season 2 soon, so now would be the perfect time to binge-watch the first season and get ready for season 2.
Watch "All Of Us Are Dead" here.
Cast: Lee JaeIn, Kim WooSeok, Choi YeBin, Cha WooMin, Ahn JiHo, Jung SoRi
What happens when the Mafia game we all love and enjoy becomes a real game of death and survival? "Night Has Come" is a mystery thriller where students from Yooil High School are forced to play a real-life Mafia game on a school trip, putting their lives on the line.
Yes, the cast in this K-Drama is also full of rising and rookie actors who are proving their mettle as the future of the industry with remarkable performances, enough to keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the show.
The psychological warfare and tension in "Night Has Come" is at par with "Pyramid Game" and can often even exceed it because the stakes are higher. This is also a K-Drama dealing with school violence and the politics and power play among the students appear as a microcosm of society. "Night Has Come" is deeply intriguing and at times, quite disturbing. However, if you enjoy K-Dramas like "Pyramid Game", trust us, you do not want to miss this one.
Watch "Night Has Come" here.
Cast: Nam JiHyun, Choi HyunWook, Kim MuYeol, Jung DaBin
Arguably one of the best-written K-Dramas on this list, "High Cookie" is a must-watch. It is a dark thriller about the pressures of modern society and how easily it can push someone over the edge. In a world that is unrelenting and unforgiving, a magical cookie can make all your dreams come true. Is it hope or greed that makes one reach for such magic? "High Cookie" is an addictive meditation on this question that never fails to impress.
As you'd expect from the cast, the acting is outstanding, to say the least. The nuances of how twisted human nature can be and what brings them to that point, is beautifully portrayed by these amazing actors, who truly enrich the viewing experience.
"High Cookie" is set in a high school, much like the other K-Dramas in this article, and dives into themes like academic pressure, classism, bullying and so on. However, the tone of this K-Drama is much darker and bleaker than the rest.
Watch "High Cookie" here.

Acting-dols criteria (January 2022):
Due to the huge number of idols in the acting field, we have tried to limit the list to idols genuinely active in acting and not to all the idols acting. At Kpopmap, we always prioritize the opinions of our readers first. That is why these criteria have been made out of readers' opinions. We held a poll (here) and we opened an open discussion on Reddit (here). You've asked us to be stricter in our criteria and so here are the new rules.
. In a K-Drama, Netflix Original drama, or a movie:
or
or
. Guest roles can't be considered supporting roles
. Only dramas over 6 episodes (special and short dramas are excluded)
. Only movies released in Korean theaters (not just online) (at the exception of Netflix original movies)
. No web dramas (exception for Netflix)
. Only Korean releases
Kpopmap's criteria for acting-dols are not absolute or the right answer. It is just criteria applied in the content of Kpopmap. And these criteria can change according to the trends or fans' opinions.

Find out about some of the K-Pop idols who have modeled for K-Beauty brand ETUDE in recent history!
Dyllan Mykel, Kpopmap EditorK-Pop idols train tirelessly in order to stand on stage and present their best selves to their fans. They reach the highest notes, execute the most complex dance moves, and look spectacular while doing it. Now more than ever, the entire globe has come to know the power of K-Pop as a genre and the impact artists can have on their fans.
The K-Beauty industry and K-Pop go hand in hand, as companies like ETUDE (formerly known as Etude House) employ various artists to model and promote their products. ETUDE has a long history, becoming a trusted name in the beauty industry. Much of their success can be attributed to their high quality products, as well as the people who endorse them.
With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the idols who have modeled for ETUDE in recent history!
Red Velvet are K-Pop powerhouses who have played an integral part in pushing the music genre forward. They've produced incredible music, fueled by their passionate and mesmerizing personalities both on and off camera. They endorsed a variety of different products for ETUDE, including lipsticks, base makeup, and so much more.
DoAh first rose to fame through her appearance in Mnet's "Produce 48". Fans couldn't help but fall in love for her bubbly charms and endearingly cute personality. Even beauty brand ETUDE couldn't deny her apparent charms as they enlisted her to join their ever-growing list of iconic models. Even now the idol's face can be seen all across ETUDE's social media platforms, endorsing a multitude of different products.
Within the K-Pop scene, makeup is used by everyone, regardless of gender. This makes it possible for even male idols to become the face of beauty brands everywhere. Golden Child's BoMin previously became one of the few male K-Pop idols to model for the K-Beauty company. At the time, netizens praised ETUDE for their model selection, as BoMin exuded boyfriend material aura that everyone loved. Although his contract with ETUDE ended, fans continue to fondly recall the various eye-catching photographs this partnership produced.
LE SSERAFIM just recently made a comeback with their newest mini album, "EASY", and continue to showcase why they've become one of the leaders of their generation. With such an immense impact on the K-Pop industry, it seems like an 'EASY' decision for any brand to choose one of the members as a model. In ETUDE's case, they decided to partner with the bright and vibrant Kazuha. Making the transition from ballet to idol life, she's an absolute natural on stage. But outside of the spotlight, she has a fresh, revitalizing image that's perfect for the K-Beauty brand.
ETUDE has a history of bringing on big names to model for their products, raising the hype and interest from the public. SHINee does this and so much more, speaking to their veteran status in the scene. They previously acted as the brand's main models close to a decade ago, but stepped away due to other commitments. However, they've retained a friendly working relationship with one another as the iconic idol group was recently seen advertising ETUDE's beauty products. As SHINee modeled for the Replay collection, fans couldn't help but fill up their shopping carts on ETUDE's website, purchasing items the SM boy group endorsed.
Have you purchased anything from ETUDE because of these idols? What's your favorite product from K-Beauty brand ETUDE?
