What Is Royal Camp About?
This is a teen psychological thriller set around a special camp that forms part of the admissions process for Cheongdam International High School. Transfer applicants who pass the document screening enter Royal Camp, where current students evaluate them. As they compete for a place, they slowly discover that the camp hides another purpose.
Think of it as a pressure cooker: a closed-off setting, power struggles, and psychological warfare, building on the original’s themes of class conflict and desire. It is directed by Park Bong Seop of Eve.
BITCH X RICH: Meet the Four Leads
| Actor | Character | Who They Are |
|---|---|---|
| Hong Ye Ji | Moon Ji Won | Enters the camp seeking revenge after losing everything; smart and a survivor |
| Miyeon (i-dle) | Cha Se Mi | Only daughter of the Taehan Group family and the school’s “queen” |
| Hyunsuk (CIX) | Seo Yi Jun | Chaebol heir of Cell Holdings; charming, but sees friendship through self-interest |
| Kim Min Ki | Seo Dong Hwa | Moon Ji Won’s childhood friend and former national tennis team member |
The Rivalry to Watch
The sparks center on Ji Won versus Se Mi. Ji Won’s arrival threatens Se Mi’s position, and K-drama fans know how that usually ends: with plenty of drama. Meanwhile, Yi Jun grows interested in Ji Won because she refuses to bow to the class hierarchy. Fans of Miyeon will be especially excited to see her step into the role of a powerful rival.
When Is It Coming?
The series is slated for release in 2027, with filming set to begin in earnest. The production team promises a “more intense and unpredictable story” while keeping the appeal of the original. Until then, you can rewatch BITCH X RICH and its second season on Viki.
