Revenge is sweet-any recommendations

limaje VIP

Hi all

I just love a good revenge drama, especially ones with a happy ending (when we all know that 

realistically revenge never ends well). I'm compliling a list but I need some more suggestions. Does anyone have any for a revenge/hate to love/happy ending drama? Thai, Chinese, Korean ,Japanese etc all good. I haven't started on Turkish yet but I'll consider them as well. My list is here for the ones I have so far.

TIA

oh wait so you mean a revenge drama that has one character going into revenge against the other lead (cause you did specify hate to Love)?

Here are some I Know of:

  •  Love to Kill
  • Secret
  • Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiruo
  • Behind Your Smile
  • The World of The Married - love to hate drama that starts with a married couple with ML having an affair
  • Hotel King
  • Skate into Love - fluffy revenge drama with ML feeling bullied as a kid by FL and nor getting his way with his petty revenge, though for reals not much revenge in this one cause he falls fast
  • Lee JunKai - I dont think this has a happy ending
  • Beyond the Clouds
  • Queen of the Game

But revenge dramas with romance that is not really the central aspect of the drama : 

  • Nirvana in Fire - so satisfying in his retribution and the righting of wrongs against so many people
  • Itaewon Class - retribution drama against the big bad guy in the drama where the leads are working together
  • revenge with happy ending
    • Avengers Social Club
    • Miss Mermaid - FL is using ML as a device to hurt people she wants revenge on
    • Temptation of a Wife - ML is helping FL with her revenge
  • with not happy ending:
    • Kenja no Ai - girl uses guy as a plot device to hurt the girl she wants revenge on, this one has crazy revenge plot and so memorable ending
    • Lucifer/ The Devil - FL is not of the people ML is planning the revenge on 
    • Maou - Japanese version of Lucifer
    • Hundred Million stars falling from the sky - FL is just used by ML, this one is so crazy
    • Smile has left your eyes - Korean version of Hundren Million stars falling from the sky
    • My Name
    • Story of a Man
    • Ouroboros - bromance centered, not much romance
    • Soul - supernatural revenge and no romance...
    • Count of Montel Cristo: the Great Revenge
    • Temptation of an Angel 
    • Alice no Toge
    • Queen of Ambition
    • Eve
    • Penthouse

Yes Czakhareina, that's exactly what I meant! Thanks so much for this wonderful list. I will definitely check everyone of them out. ATM I am struggling through 'I have a lover'. I say struggling because I'm really wanting to step through the screen and kick that mongrel hubby and his s**t mistress to death! (I'm not really a violent person. It just looks that way LOL)

Thanks again for taking the time to do this.

Thanks Sooyaa. I'll pop it on my PTW list. There's over 300 on there (embarrassing I know) so it will have finished airing by the time I get to watch it. Thanks.

Thanks so much Tvvelve and Saygo, these are wonderful suggestions which I'll check out. I've watched the first season of Taxi Driver. Such wonderful and sophisticated revenge. Reminds me of the American show 'Leverage' which was also very good. The List is growing!
