“If everyone decides to corroborate a lie, then it becomes the truth.”
After spending quite a few years watching k-dramas and coming to this website to read people’s reviews and opinions, I’ve never had the urge to write a review until now.
Revenge of Others is a classic, action-packed thriller with a mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As you watch each episode, you’ll become immersed in the lives of these students and wary of all of them. I think that made me enjoy this show as much as I did, being unable to accurately point out what happened and why it happened in the beginning. By the halfway point, you’ll have your suspicions but the plot twist at the end was enjoyable and satisfied me. There's even the slightest bit of romance which was a nice addition, even if it's unspoken.
This series follows Ok Chanmi as she transfers to her twin brother’s school in order to uncover the truth about his death. The show's main point is revenge, but there’s so much more than that. The flaws within the legal system, the lack of protection for victims, and the seriousness of bullying are just a few examples. As you watch, you’ll feel the pain of the people who suffer while you embrace the ones who stand up for injustices. The display of unity among the students in the last episode truly gave me goosebumps and I’m sure it will do the same for everyone else that watches.
The actors and actresses did such an incredible job with the roles they were given. Chae Sangwoo’s character was a nuisance from start to finish, but he did an amazing job portraying the bad guy. Shin YeEun’s role as the main female lead, Ok Chanmi, suited her perfectly. I can’t wait to see what else she does in the future. As for Seo Jihoon, I liked his role on Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency. The role he plays in this show is almost the opposite, and I loved it even more.
The top star of this show, in my opinion, was Lomon. Lomon’s presence on screen is genuinely captivating. I knew how much potential he had when I saw him on All of Us Are Dead but Revenge of Others really brings out his talent. Whenever he cried, I cried. When he smiled, I smiled. There was never a moment where I was uninterested in his character, or what came next for him in the show. I really became an even bigger fan of his!
The music was nice too, nothing too memorable but definitely fit the mood of specific situations.
As for rewatching, I can totally see myself watching again after knowing the big mystery. It’ll be fun to see if I can pinpoint any clues that I may not have seen the first time around.
Overall, I do suggest you give this show a watch. Whether it be for the acting or the storyline, you won’t regret it. It’s definitely on my list of the best k-dramas in 2022.
