Sweet Revenge (2017)

This webdrama was really easy to watch even though this is not the most original plot that I've seen, it's light and funny.
It wasn't extraordinary but the actors/actresses are enjoyable to watch and of course Cha Eun Woo is mesmerizing (he's not the best actor, but he has that charisma that I really like so).
I must say that the first 14 episodes were really good but after the story lacked a little and the end was a little unsatisfying.
There isn't so much songs in it but I like a lot the rap music that is in it.
So it wasn't a memorable webdrama but it was fresh and I liked to watch it, so don't have high hopes about this just take it the way it is!

I binge watched this series in one evening. It's short and cute. The characters are easy to like and the acting is good. I was concerned at first about the premise of "getting revenge" because I was afraid it would be taken too lightly. However, though I'm not one that thinks "revenge" is always the best choice, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they use the concept in a way that seems reasonable.

One thing I thought was very well done and hadn't really seen in a teen drama is the story line that follows someone with a true mental illness. It's only in one episode and I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't say more than that except to say I was impressed that the topic was even brought up and that it was faced so "head on." Thumbs up to the writers on that part of the story for sure.

There were two things I felt were a bit off about this, but I don't want to use spoilers so I'll be vague. However, when you watch the series I think you will easily understand and then I'd be interested to know if you agree...

1) There was a character that I thought I would see more of, but didn't...and it seemed like the story line for that character was left a bit in the air. I found it a bit annoying that there wasn't closure for that person...or at least a proper connection to the end of the story.

2) There is one question that isn't answered that I really wish had been. Perhaps it is answered in the 2nd season? I don't know. It's not a deal breaker thing, just something I found myself wondering about and wished an answer had been given.

All in all, I really liked this series and I recommend it for anyone who just wants a bit of light drama.

This drama increase interest level till 15 episode then it seemed to be same story plot till I watch in this drama . Story about a girl who sometime become victim ,sometime her closeones become victim and sometime her known person (who ahe knows)become victim and to take out all of them from difficulties she takes the help of Revenge note ,which is kind of an app and every time when she used it and think from where it comes ,who helping her by this and she starting guessing who it would be her friend ,jung Deol He or her boyfriend or might be her boyfriend's friend then she stop guessing with saying don't know and used it .I found this drama interesting and also waiting to reveal the name of the person who is behind them but no reveal of name till end .Though Sun woo is in main role but I didn't see his much scene and I am waiting him to end up with Deol He pairing but it is not like that .As I watch this drama in eng subtitle till 17th episode then this drama didn't sub so I watch it raw though I don't understand Korean language much but I get it that the name of person who send her revenge note app is not reveal and last four episodes also not have something new.
But this drama shows beautiful ,cute and small love story ,main characters family scene sometimes cute and funny ,lead actress and his brother cute fighting make me connected with the drama if such scenes were not there it become boring after few episodes.
As a whole it is one time watch drama ,not so good and not so bad.

Cha Eun Woo does NOT have a lead role!

Be honest, are you considering this show because Cha Eun Woo is listed as having a main role? Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm sure they did that to get people to watch. I love every scene that he is in, but he suddenly disappears in about episode 8 with absolutely no explanation. It was also good to see the whole group Astro - though it was only for about two minutes.

The other thing that irritated me no end, the FL kept wondering, throughout the whole show, who the author of the Revenge Note was, and the author was never identified.

I really liked Kim Hwan Hee as the female lead's BFF. She was so cute, supportive, and smart.

I understand that bullying needs to be involved in order for there to be a need for a Revenge Note, but I felt the bullying was way over the top. Each time there was an opportunity for a Revenge Note, the scenario was pretty much like the previous one. You might not be bothered by this if you like shows like Mean Girls, but that's not my cup of tea. Add to that the fact that the FL was extremely weak. I just wanted to tell her to stop being such a doormat.

I did not enjoy the overabundance of bathroom humor. It was unnecessary and completely uncalled for.

The romance was so tame it was actually boring.

I know I'm probably going to regret this, but I'm going to watch the sequel, in hopes that it is better.

This drama is really light and cute drama. It is not that much complicated that would make the readers confuse. But yeah, It was a mystery till the end that why that revenge app only came to lead actress and who sent it. But overall, It was a really good drama. The acting of the actors was really good. Eunwoo was really cute throughout the web series. I kind of felt bad for him in the last as he didn't ended up with the main lead though, he loved her a lot. I kind of shipped her with him. But her couple with PARK SOLOMON was also good and I liked the chemistry between them and I also liked how he would always save the girl from any problems and He was a pure gentleman. I loved this drama and would definitely recommend this.

Revenge is sometimes best served hot

My new found fave! It's the first time my heart fluttered so much for a highschool drama. I'm so happy to discover this gem in the middle of my kdrama drought haha. The premise of the story is pretty straightforward though not entirely relatable, but it's a good watch overall.

Good things:
* CHA EUN WOO
* Visuals overload (from Ji Hoon to big bro to Cha Eun Woo to HIVA guy whose name I forgot to the music teacher)
* Ji Hoon and Goo Hee are relationship goals!!! I learned a lot from these two hah!
* Gripping storyline. Not the most original plot I’ve seen, but there’s something to look forward to in every episode

Not-so-good things:
* Given that Ji Hoon and Go Hee are still so young for romance, I can't ever imagine the future of their relationship… Or am I just jealous that my highschool life isn’t as thrilling as theirs haha!
* Goo Hee suffers for being nosy and dense most of the time.
* Cha Eun Woo, because too much of a good thing is bad.
* Bullies, bullying scenes are almost unbearable to watch (but hey I have a favorite bully though - Goo Hee’s big bro!)
* Ga Eun and Goo Hee’s mom (well, at first)
* Han Yoo Ra, remember this name
* Why is this just a 22 episode (technically 11 eps) drama and not longer?

Favorite episode: Episode 9 or 18 (depending on which copy you find. I found an 11-episode copy of this drama - 2 parts in one episode). Why this episode? Secret!

Short, fun, with a simple message, I literally can't think of a reason why you shouldn't watch this accept that maybe you're the type of person who hates smiling and pretty flowers and cute puppies and Joy.

The love triangle is pretty one-sided, ie. only one of the guys ever really has any sort of chance, and the other guy just up and disappears in the final episode, so you don't even get Closure for him, but BOIIIIIIIIIII IT WAS SO HARD PICKING WHO I WANTED HER TO END UP WITH OHMYGAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

And yes. I will say the same thing I said in my review for My ID is Gangnam Beauty. Cha Eun Woo's acting. Not the greatest. (Although I do think he performs decently in ID.) But he's so dang cute and squishy and I just WaNt HIm TO Be haPpy In lIfE IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!?!?!?!?!

I'm just trying to say that this mini drama is cute and fun, and you have no valid reason not to watch it, so Don't Argue With The Cuteness Of Cha Eun Woo.

Oh, and Kim Hwan Hee is the next Kim Seul Gi. I'm calling it now.

Eunwoo is in this drama and was actually the reason why I started watching - half way through the first few episodes, I was pleasantly surprised how good this is. Interesting premise and this drama has a lot of handsome male faces. Unfortunately, Eunwoo is not a main character in this series - he's only around mostly in the first half of the drama but the second half is where the story gets good.

Some parts are slow but it's also a short series. Very much enjoyed Park Solomon (male lead)'s performance and visuals! The female lead is pretty good - I didn't like her at first but I think it was intended as a part of the plot. There is good character development in here and a cast of strong side-characters.

Some episodes of this drama is honestly not needed but I guess it was to introduce/maintain the" revenge" concept.

Overall, a surprisingly good drama for the clique school student settings.

A girl starts a new year at school but trouble soon finds its way into her teen life, then almost magically an app appears on her phone, 'Revenge Note'. When she enters someone's name on the app misfortune falls on that person. The app is not actually a main part of the story, it's a very exaggerated high school teen life story, which of course includes a bit of romance. This drama seemed very promising to start with, I liked the main protagonists and the story was interesting but I'm afraid to say it went nowhere (hence the lack of stars), which was disappointing as I did really quite like it. The two major plotlines I was interested in was what happened with Cha Eun Woo (member of Astro who plays himself in the show, quite a bit of time was devoted to him at the beginning and then his storyline wasn't even slightly resolved ????) and who is the master of the Revenge Note (you don't find out, even right at the end it teases you about this and it just made me really angry ????). If you are watching because Cha Eun Woo is a main character, he isn't, he is most definitely a part of the supporting cast (he isn't even in all the episodes). It makes me a bit angry (doing that quite a bit today lol) because it seems like they are just trying to get more viewers by advertising this handsome idol is a main star when he's not ????. Anyway, the good news is if you like Eun Woo you may be a fan of Astro and the whole group makes an appearance! That was definitely the highlight of the series for me! Although Eun Woo is not on screen as much I would have liked, when he is, the show seems 10 times better and he is pretty much perfect (yet another reason why his story being cut short is annoying). I'm also doing something I never thought I would, I'm giving a whole star just for Eun Woo ???? cos he deserves it ????. Finally, episode 12 is just a recap of the entire season, which made the teaser for who the master of the Revenge Note was at the end of the previous episode infuriating, I actually thought we would get the answer in the last episode but there was no payoff, it was just a recap! ???? #Anger #Infuriated #Disappointed

Ring ring hello karma there appears to be some people you missed

9/10 is my rating. This is a 2017/2018 South Korean coming of age drama. There are 12, 30 to 35 minute episodes. Also known as Revenge Note 1.

First I provide a synopsis then a review

Synopsis
Ho Goo-hee (Kim Hyang-gi) is a petite high schooler who just wants to make it through her school years peacefully. She is nice to everyone and this causes supine to view her as a pushover. When her dad stands up to a thuggish teenage group, the Zombies, they discover their high school junior, Hang-Gi is his daughter. To get back at the old man and really because they just like being bullies, the Zombies begin harassing and harming Hang-Gi. A classmate, and the most handsome and popular boy in that year, Shin Ji-hoon (Park Solomon also known by stage name Lomon) comes to her rescue. Hang-Gi receives a message on her phone asking if she wants to exact revenge. This happened before when her boyfriend cruelly dumped her. Each time she receives a nite asking if she wants revenge, the subject receives a note indicating they are marked for revenge, revenge happens then Hang-Gi is notified revenge is complete. But who is watching her to know she, orsomeone close to he, is in a situation where revenge is in order? She suspects everyone around her. Is it her brother’s friend turned idol, Cha Eun-woo (The Cha Eun-woo from Astro)? Is it her best friend Jung Deok-hee (Kim Hwan-hee) who is also very tech savvy?

Review
Dont we all wish, at times, we could just call up karma? This was a sweet, well acted, fast paced coming of age romance. No huge surprises other than the mystery of the revenge note. The main character is sweet and while she is a pushover it is only to a point. I recommend this to anyone that likes coming of age and wants some quick feel good vibes.

Spoilers
I starting watching this days after MoonBin of Astro died of suspected suicide. To see Astro make guest appearances was sad just knowing what happens in real life, but it was nice to see them at the same time. A couple of people in my personal circles have made that choice and every one I even hear about brings it back. So I was feeling so sad about the entire thing and heart broken for Cha Eun woo when I watched this not knowing Astro was in it. Cha Eun Woo as second guy was strange because it is hard to imagine him being second to anyone and the role he payed in this was as nice of a character as I understand he is in real life. Astro fans really should not miss this as they do make cameo appearances. Just maybe wait if seeing them will make you too sad. I really wanted to find out how revenge note came about and who is exacting the revenge, but it never reveals that part just hints at it. Her shart was so cringy for me but in American culture that would be extra level faux pas. Most Americans do not talk openly about that bodily processes not right or wrong just a cultural difference. So I had major second hand embarrassment going on with both her and her dad’s digestive woes. I thought her friend was unreasonable when she found out main girl knew Cha Eun woo and didn’t tell her because, as a fan girl, she should have understood why she couldn’t tell. I liked how main girl stood up for people even when they hadn’t always been great to her personally. It was a little much to believe there could be two incidents with alleged inappropriate behavior from teachers but was intersting to see how, in one case, it was true and, in the other it was false accusations. As you can tell for such a relatively short series it had substance.
