This was really good, expected more... something was missing
This was really good, expected more but the acting was great and the story was interesting if there is a second season I'm definetly watching it and I believe I will def like it more than this season (unless they literally ruin it lol riverdale flashbacks) so many people frustrated me tho like Chanmi and Sooheon meeting people they don't know in dark mysterious alleys like wtf getting beat up or hit across the HEAD WITH A FUCKING BRICK just wasn't enough, you need more?!Something was missing maybe cause I thought this was going to be a school mystery but they even tried a guy that didn't go to their school?? Just put me a little off.
Also the cliche telenovela dual/split personality thing not great but didn't hate it as much as I usually do when it comes to cliches, kinda entertaining maybe cause I liked Jaebum!! I think it was also a little rushed I'm just not satisfied maybe cause it was really hyped and it didn't live up to my expectations... I called everything out like Sejin and Wonseok (Chankyu) dating, the sibling 'love' etc again cliches.
The ending tho besides not explaining what happened to everyone else like Jaebum (his sentence and stuff) or Osung (like u dead bro or nah?! if yes which I think is the case, no funeral scene??) it was super cute with the entire school lying for him and saying goodbye to him <3 (would've SOBBED if that wasn't spoiled for me lmao)

A masterpiece
One of my all time favourite dramas. The soundtrack is my favourite ever and I regularly listen to it, it is so beautiful. Every single episode ended with a cliffhanger and I couldn't stop watching--this drama was a real obstacle during assignment week when I watched! The writing was incredible and lovely and the acting was brilliant. I loved both leads so, so much. This story made me laugh and cry and everything in between and I loved the ending so much. I would pay an exorbitant price to be able to swallow a pill and forget this drama so I could watch it again if that were possible. 10/10 stars is not enough, this drama is a work of art and I loved it more than words can adequately describe.Was this review helpful to you?
Totally Gripping
First of all, I know a lot of people have said that the ending lets it down, and it's true that it could have been better and it was cliché, but at the same time, it's not TERRIBLE, and to me it didn't matter because the rest of the drama was AMAZING and more than made up for it.The casting was great (all the guys were hot?! I'm shallow, sorry), and the way it was written kept you going from loving someone to doubting them and then loving them again.
It truly was a rollercoaster and I would definitely recommend it. Even if you're someone who despises clichés - like I normally do - I'd say give it a watch anyway because it might surprise you how much you enjoy it! :)

Revenge of the others succeeds at presenting a good story but fails at everything else
this show disappointed me soo much. the first two episodes were catching and interesting. but after that, it became confusing, boring and really nonsense. i just started watching it fastly so it would end. they just missed the whole main initial point of "who killed chankyu". they added too many characters, shallow and bad-written characters. the main characters' actions and feelings just didn't make sense at all and side characters were so poorly developed that it wouldve been better if they werent there. seok jaebom was the only one that had good lore and development.the relationships were also really weird, it seemed like they just happened yk.
at the end, i think that was the biggest problem. things just didn't matter at all or were just given to the characters. like:
sooheon has a brain tumor? whatever... he faints sometimes but that doesnt matter
osung loves jihyun? okay it doesnt matter. jihyun and chanmi hate eachother? it also doesnt matter.
it really bothered me that the characters were ALWAYS on the right place at the right time. information was just given to them.
also, we watch twelve eps to get to know more about park wonseok and yet we end not knowing shit about his previous life and it should be important for his sister to know bout that.
the ending was just a little bit more of that cliché thing: everything is okay with the main two and that's it. osung death was really forced and we end not knowing what really happened with jaebom (the fact that he was manipulated was kinda ignored also).
overall, it's disappointing. the show gets lost on itself. it gives us good lore but is not able to handle it and make it interesting and logical. it is not worth watching at all.

worth it to watch
biasa aja sih sbenarnya, buat story lumayanlah masih mending yg ini dripada drakor My Name, aktingnya juga bagus², soundtracknya enak. kecewa sama dalang dri konfliknya trnyata cmn krn hubungan sesama jenis hdeh. yg gak gue suka itu penulisan karakter dri antagonisnya yg dimana dia punya dua jiwa yg satunya jiwa saudara kembarnya yg udah lama meninggal, kan aneh drakornya masuknya ke hal supernatural. kalo antagonisnya itu punya penyakit multiple personality masuk akal tuh, lebih bagus malahan.Was this review helpful to you?
AFFECTIVE
idk why i cant get away from this,but no doudt this one was one of the best drama ever watched ,really appreciate the casts hardwork , especially lomon ,really you had good luck even without that red shoelace,BEST OF LUCK for your future deeds,yeah but i felt a bit doudted about the consistent ideas of ok chanmi and ji sooheon ,it could be better to show all the behind conversation of them on those ideas ,and also every side casts were the best possessions to keep in this drama ,i liked the jury of wooyeon and cheong su bin...Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best mystery dramas of 2022
The whole story involving the cast is fantastic. The personal growth of each character makes the story get better and better throughout the episodes. It's a story that grips everyone from start to finish.We feel anger, affection, sadness, betrayal and all the feelings that the characters feel.The whole development of the story behind the death of Park Wonseok makes it captivating, as clues and more clues appear that lead us to believe that the killer is a person, but, in the end, it was not what we were looking for.
It was without a doubt one of the best mystery dramas I've seen this year. Despite the ending being a little open and where they could have explored some more points that, in my opinion, would be important, I LOVED it.
If you want to see a GOOD mystery drama then Regenge of Others is a GREAT option.

Thrilling beginning but disappointing end
I am a huge fan of a revenge plotline. The show really keeps you captivated and mesmerized for most of the series. The whodunit aspects in the beginning really do keep you guessing. However, the show falters in the last few episodes. When the audience finds out the motivations for all this havok it's almost laughable. So anticlimatic. The police as usual, are dumber than a box of rocks and don't really serve a purpose in the story other than to annoy us.The cast is good and all of the actors were new to me. I liked Seo Ji Hoon as Jaebum and Lomon as Seohoon. Seo Ji Hoon was excellent as Gi Osung. He nailed his role as the person you love to hate. He took smug and arrogant to a new level.
Overall, an enjoyable series to watch once. I loved Gsoul's song Lost Game which played throughout the series and was the closing theme song.

Revenge of Others started off as a great murder mystery and towards the end drifted a little. Lots of plots and small storylines going on and even little things that were added in that had me genuinely thrown for a loop. The acting and overall revenge stories are what hooked me in and it's a good watch if you're looking for revenge with a happy ending. While the main plot is "Who killed Chan-Mi's twin brother?", there are a ton of smaller plots playing out as well. Bullying, jealousy, gaslighting, murder mystery, secret stalker, a lot of suspects, and a lot of things left in the wind for others. What they added in at the end with Gi Osung and his sister is what let my rating slip a good bit. I felt that it wasn't really necessary to the storyline AT ALL. Especially when we know what we do about how the bullying started. It was just a really weird shock factor thing thrown in? It wasn't even needed to explain why he did because the reason was: they were investigating things that he was involved in and getting close to the truth. My other problem was one of the main plot points is that Ji Soo-Heon is suffering from a brain tumor and this causes his behavior, nose bleeds, etc.. but it's never resolved or explained further after the doctor's visit? He just goes and lives his life and we just pretend that isn't a thing? I wish that the ending and their futures were given more time for better explanations, especially Soo-Heon's. I feel that they spent a lot of time on other things that weren't too important to the main plot. One whole episode was dedicated to something that could've been resolved and shown in 30 minutes of an episode. Just really weird pacing overall with the main plot line, you don't figure out who REALLY did it until the very last episode.
The ending itself is really weird and random. The person who actually did it and how that's revealed didn't make a lot of sense to me and seemed super random. I felt that they needed someone else because it was obvious that Gi Osung was involved somehow pretty early on into the drama. This is another reason why I gave it an 8.5. It just felt messy and rushed towards the end.
Overall, it's a good watch if you're wanting something short but has action to keep you interested.

Need some serious tweaking to perfect it
The premise of this drama is actually an extraordinary one, but the treatment it has gotten lacks precision which limits its potential of being a brilliant drama. Some of the plotlines got really unrefined and the handling is just messy, but the mystery of the crime in it is really thrilling and that's appreciable. They are really close in reaching the level of the legendary Netflix's Extracurricular, but the details of the story need some serious tweaking to perfect it. Still, it's quite remarkable for what they've achieved and the acting performance in here is noteworthy.Was this review helpful to you?
Basic school revenge but with great characters
Basic revenge high school story and a lot of cliché plotlines BUT the characters just felt so real and by that i mean it didnt feel like they were kdrama characters but people that u could meet irl; especially the FL, she is juts so genuine and acts like a real person. She doesnt have an outstanding ability to read people so she believes people and doubts herself like you and me. The length of the show is just perfect although i felt like the bittersweet ending is not what we deserved... so many unanswered questions and an uncertain future for the characters.Was this review helpful to you?
