Revelations (2025)

Save Me Season 1 and Revelations share strong similarities in their portrayal of cults, psychological control, and the struggle for freedom. Both stories revolve around a young woman trapped in a dangerous religious cult that manipulates its followers using fear, isolation, and brainwashing. In Save Me, Sang-mi is forced into the Goseonwon cult after her family is deceived, while in Revelations, the protagonist also finds herself drawn into a manipulative religious group that distorts faith for control. Both cult leaders exploit their followers for power, using religious rhetoric to justify their actions, and have connections to corrupt officials who help cover up their crimes. The tension builds as the protagonists attempt to escape, with allies who risk everything to save them. Both stories highlight the terrifying reality of cult influence, emotional trauma, and the desperate fight for freedom

Save Me! Season 2 and Revelations both explore cult influence and manipulation, but their pastors differ in their motivations and methods. In Save Me! Season 2, the pastor is a conman who deceives poor villagers for their money, pretending to be a kind and wise professor. He manipulates them into believing he is their savior while secretly drugging and brainwashing them to maintain control. His goal is purely financial, and he exploits their faith for personal gain.In Revelations, however, the pastor suffers from a psychological disorder, seeing patterns and meaning where there are none. He truly believes he is a chosen one delivering justice, but his delusions blind him to reality. Instead of trying to save the girl, he assumes she is already dead and focuses on punishing the supposed wrongdoer, acting out of misguided conviction rather than deception. Despite these differences, both stories depict the dangers of blind faith, the power of manipulation, and the devastating consequences of following a leader without question.

Both involve stories about someone who kills a person who turns out to be a criminal, and believes it to be an act of divine intervention. However, the two stories do turn out differently, nonetheless both deserve a watch.
