"Revenge of Others" – A Thrilling Mystery with Flawed Communication
I watched the drama in three days, and everything about it is purely positive.
The mystery is well maintained throughout the drama, making us doubt the culprit until the very end. I especially love when a group of friends comes together to make a plan, like in Pyramid Game, and this drama gave me those kinds of moments that I love. Plus, I’m glad that the writers didn’t focus too much on the chemistry between the two main leads. In my opinion, that would have lowered the overall quality of the drama.
As for the characters, I really appreciated that Ok Chan Mi’s shooting skill was actually utilized to its full potential rather than just being a random excuse for her to join the school. Seok Jae Beom’s double personality was well introduced, but I wish it had been developed even more. However, one BIG issue in this drama is the communication between the characters—it’s absolutely CATASTROPHIC!
Another frustrating point: the police is incredibly STUPID and SLOW-MINDED. In the end, they discovered NOTHING ALONE significant except for a few minor details.
Some inconsistencies also bothered me. For example, how is it possible that, in the end, Ok Chan Mi and Seok Jae Beom are literally FIGHTING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, in front of EVERYONE, in a PUBLIC port, and NOBODY intervenes or calls the police???
Finally, a special mention to WooYeon—it’s great to see her pursuing a career in acting, and the various references to WooAh were fun to spot.
