Revenge of Others (2022)

Intense, but hardly genius

There was good acting, good music, good hidden mystery. But when it went from story outline to actual scenes, it started to seem unrealistic and not always convincing .. There was also many shifts in story focus connected by the main thread - mystery behind Park Wonseok's death. Which did make it interesting, but I think it all opened up having more holes and weak logic.

And really, if I start talking about the police work I'll be here all day.

Overall, it's just an ok watch.. better to watch as airing drama I think - you'll forget to keep track of a lot of things.

It was good. After episode 4, I couldn't stop watching it. Just like a true thriller I was hooked. It was unfortunate how little the characters were developed. Our Changmi kept the same attitude and approach throughout her search. The planned revenges were nicely done and thought so I was disappointed that all confrontations felt lacking in comparison.

Like many thrillers, the "plot twist" was a bit overused. Every event had its own plot twist. You can hardly see it while watching so I hope if you are seeing this before watching the show it doesn't stop you. In the end, this is a good show and I truly enjoyed it esp the first 10 eps of its run.

Revenge Of others não era o que eu imaginava

Revenge of Other conta a história de ok Chanmi, que tem um irmão gêmeo mas foram abandonados no orfanato ainda criança. Uma família aparece para adotar apenas ok chankyu e com isso, eles tem que crecer separados. Enquanto Chanmi e Chankyu conversam por call, a chamada é interrompida. A irmã vai até Seul visitar seu gêmeo e assim ela descobre que ele cometeu suicídio. Ela começa a desconfiar pois seu irmão não cometeria esse ato. Então chanmi decide mudar para Seul e se infiltrar na escola dele para obter mais informações da morte de Chankyu. Chegando lá, chanmi faz várias amizades que ajudam ela a chegar no resultado.
Esse dorama virou um dos meus favoritinhos e eu super reassistiria. Simplesmente tem um roteiro impecável e os atores foram muito bem escolhidos. Eu consegui terminar Revenge Of Others muito rápido pois fiquei muito curiosa para saber o que iria acontecer a cada episódio, ja que os mesmos, acabavam com um ar de mistério. Muitas vezes, eu tive vontade de chorar com os personagens ou de bater em um dos vilões, mas ao mesmo tempo consegui me apaixonar por eles. A série conseguiu esconder muito bem o assasino e ocorreram muitos plots que eu nunca imaginei que aconteceriam. Realmente prometeu tudo e conseguiu entregar!! 10/10

Personagem fav: Jaebum

absolutely perfect

this dramas plot is carved out beautifully- twists and turns every episode, it leads you through a maze of who killed who, who’s the newest police suspect and what really happened with park wonseok. but said maze reaches a finalised conclusion that isn’t consumed with heartbreak and doesn’t leave loose ends hanging about. even when you think the murderer is obvious or the results is predictable, this drama finds a way to throw a spanner in the works and prove you wrong time and time again- this drama is a whodunnit, tinted with school life, drama and a slither of romance- i highly recommend you watch this, it’s a great binge!

Disappointed but not surprised

I started watching this with very low expectations as high school thriller dramas are often written so poorly, Regardless, ended up hooked to the point I was surprised as to why the show didn’t sucked. It’s not what i signed up for. Which was a shitty high school drama where teenagers just do whatever they want and the adults are non existent. But by episode 10 everything went down the drain. You get Hooked from the very beginning and it distracts you from all the inconsistencies. I am a bit disappointed given that this drama had so much potential to be great.

I’m surprised sooheon was still alive by the last episode with the amount of times he fainted and got hit on the head.

I think by ep 10 I was over Ok Chanmi’s character. She changed so much, but her basically exorcising jaejoong out of jaebeom’s body was just shameless writing. How can she forgive Jaebeom so easily just because he was nice person? When she literally shot Sooheon when she believe him the culprit? It’s just seems so out of character for her. I mean she said she take the culprit to the mountains and killed them herself but suddenly she’s Mother Ok Theresa.

After a while you start to notice how every single thing that happens had a sole purpose and it gets so annoying. Ajung being pregnant white hair girl “going away” and finding jaebeom at the port jaebeom mother going into the ICU so he needed money somehow jaebeom and Chan I reaching jaebeom on time before being exposed of being the hero. Like everything was just too purposefully written like those OP characters that get specific powers for every villain. To the point is just annoying.

Up to ep 9 my rating was 10 then it progressively went down. I am quite disappointed in the ending. Still I’m grateful for the ride at the beginning which was quite fun. I guess i got exactly what I signed up for at the beginning of this drama.

Highschool bullies type troupe

Dec. 18, 2022

Revenge of Others had a strong start but after the halfway troupe it regresses in terms of plot and writing. Likewise, I do have strong praise for the casts as they acted and put justice for their characters.

I feel like it is due to the fact that I watched more action-infused dramas and movies in the last few months more than usual that’s why I am a little harsher on my critique. Nevertheless, I do think that 12 episodes were sufficient though the ending seems rushed and concluded with many plot holes. Episode 12 was definitely the hardest episode to finish from the series.

Overall, I definitely have strong mixed opinions with the drama.

TLDR: Above average but not the best (in terms of plot progression and writing wise) highschool bullies x revenge troupe kdrama

watched weekly as it came out

when i first watched this i actually binged the first 4 eps in one day and it started off super strong, loving the progression of the characters and it was overall very exciting and drama inducing to watch. tho this drama can get very physical and bloody, it does bring awareness to the realistic situations that can happen due to bullying and harassment. i wouldn’t say romance is a big genre in this drama but the amazing chemistry between the main leads was too good to miss out on and (spoiler) the no kiss at the end was not as disappointing as i would have hoped but the ending for them was enough?. overall the majority of the cast was really good and the acting was on point all throughout the 12 eps. now onto the plotwists:
gi osung was very clearly involved somewhat in one of the incidents (which was kind of obvious for me at least) but for jaebeom to have killed chanmi’s brother was kind of shocking to me! as well as when osung fell from the school room after fighting with soohyeon - totally unexpected. maybe this was just me but the last two eps felt slightly rushed in trying to just wrap up all the chaos and mystery going on and in my opinion it would have been better to unsolve some of those mysteries in eps 10. other than that some tiny unresolved holes were here and there but we obviously can’t expect a 100% perfect show. loved the dynamics and hope the actors have great shows coming soon! music was also a bonus??

Revenge Drama Gone in A Wrong Way

And here I thought that most revenge dramas would be thrilling and suspenseful. I was wrong! I felt from the first episode, this drama has potential and all. I slept through episodes 9 to 11. I woke up to the last episode. I just thought that is everyone in SK being bullied in senior year? Is this how it is in this country? And why aren't people reporting all these to the police? Is the police force not trustworthy?
Not to mention, multiple personality disorder? Although I didn't expect another plot twist by introducing BL in the story. Although I have a pretty strong hunch that there is something of that nature along with the mystery of what Gi Oh Sung saw knew that happened in that room.
By far, the lowest rating I have given to a Korean drama that I have watched and reviewed. This drama was okay but I'm sure not the worst.

Kept Me Guessing

I genuinely couldn't decide on the culprit almost the whole way through. Maybe that's just me and it went right over my head. I usually find it quite easy to guess whodunnit but not this time; I was changing my mind constantly. Because of that, I enjoyed this one immensely. The acting was solid and I felt engaged for the entire thing.

Revenge stories can sometimes bother me because I can't always put myself in the headspace of a person who would choose to 'get even' because I ultimately see it as pointless BUT this show was fun to watch because of all the twists and turns. It also didn't feel as difficult to get into that headspace this time because of the people involved all being students and peers. Some parts might be a bit too violent for some viewers but if you're okay with that, then I'd recommend this in a heartbeat.
