Third Person Revenge (2022)

The ticking bomb

A mystery comes with a ticking bomb, a series that pretty much entertaining, a closed room murder mystery with a key like a ticking bomb
Story :
the series is pretty entertaining, and the plot was pretty much structured and the twist unexpectedly foreshadowed.
yet still they spend too much scene for things that made just to strangle things up, some truths could have been revealed sooner, and the revelation paced too fast, the ending itself is pretty good but its just the intensity just feel so wrong
Characters :
homework for every korean drama. basically there are three sides , revengers, neutral , and the bad guys with plus a ticking bomb, as the story progressing the revengers feels like they lost their main reason why they want to find the killer which is revenge. it feels more like they are playing detective.
half of the series I really liked the connection between the male and female lead they has common enemy yet doubt each other, both are being careful about each other even after knowing they have mutual enemy. but nearing the end femaie lead being too dependent to the male lead, she forget that it was her revenge and the so known "god of war" male lead turns into war dog blinded by love, I mean the man that always minding his own business get frustrated when the female lead left like a dog lost its owner, wtf. best character progression on this side is the mediator girl as the story progress she learns that their act are too dangerous and could go unpunished, she sacrifices herself and takes responsibility for their act to cut loose ends. people will says that the police are useless but for me the characters fills their role well as neutral side that gives pressure to everyone, they doubt everyone they had some internal problem midway and solved them as an adult they stays neutral until the end, good progression I must say. for the bad guys, they are messed up, so fucked up that I almost have nothing to say the queen bee doesn't fill her role at all feels more like a tool that everyone can use, main villain has barely influence to anything at all I must say he is too weak. and then there is the ticking bomb the key to the whole series which is jaebum he serves pretty well as twist bearer could have been better, but not bad honestly I'm impressed.
Music :
Not bad, but not good either not so special doesnt add any intensity to the scenes nor ruining it. and none of them memorable either
Conclusion :
a series that you could enjoy once and never again, I really like the truth key was the only twist and comes like a ticking bomb. yet those could've been executed better, maybe the actor and actresses are too young to understand the rage of revenge, or maybe didn't directed properly. I mean the male and female lead confrontation felt pretty intense, why the ending didn't ?.
Imagining that the final confrontation of female lead with the bomb came in the middle of the dark and rainy weather pointing gun like she means to kill, every rage and frustration blew up at once. and the last confrontation of the male lead with the main villain comes with proper reasoning, show off time for the main villain to picture insanity and craziness. well that sounds too anime-ish but that would be memorable and dope.

just damn ! like damn it

bro ! I am flabbergasted! because this series took my heart ...I loved every single character in the series ...the last scene where everyone was cheating for Jo soohyeon took my heart...do boys like ji soohyeon really exist ? his world revovled around others ....he helped every single one of them ..taking action and getting himself in trouble ...the scene where he got himself shot by chanmi but was smiling and joking about it later ..I was like " bro you got shot ! you have the right to show some anger !" ...my second most favorite character was seok jaebum ..he was too nice to be the villain ..the thing that he killed park woseok broke by heart ...he had no idea what was happening...he was too nice from the beginning always caring about everyone and especially ok chanmi ..I believe he had feelings for ok chanmi that is why I was confused because I thought he and park woseok were a couple ...but obviously later it was revealed ..he had feelings for chanmi ..the only mistake he made was listening to gi osung and believing his word that park woseok had pushed him ...he should have atleast collected some solid evidence before taking action ..that was his only mistake ! but still he confessed ...I liked his character a lot ...the girl with white hair was also such a strong character ..her unrequited love and devotion for ji soohyeon was everything this show needed ...I loved it Soo Soo damn much ..gi osung ! I am fine with the fact that he was killed in the end ..but I would have preferred a more detailed And painful end for him ..he did Soo many people dirty ...gaslighted seok jaebum ...tortured and beat ji soohyeon ..tried to frame him for his own crimes ..recorded personal matter of park woseok and blackmailed him ..even tried to kill ok chanmi by cutting the breaks of the scooter ...and I am still confused about his feelings ..did he have feelings for his sister ,? or did he not ? because in the end he tried to kill her ! but when seok jaebum told his crimes to his step sister ,he looked quite enraged and embarrassed..and in that scene he had specifically came to save her ...also he took pics of her and posted it on his Instagram? and they kissed too ? so what was all that ? and did he have feelings for seok jaebum because when seok jaebum's friendship grew stronger with ji soohyeon,he clearly got jealous ..and in one scene he even said " you might as well consider my feelings for you seok jaebum !" ...but then he had also pushed him and put him in a coma ...so ? who exactly did he like ?

Solid Mystery/Thriller

I really enjoyed this drama! It was engaging with an interesting story and good characters. I liked the mystery a lot and thought they did a good job of giving us lots of twists without getting out of control with them. However, while I do think 12 episodes is the sweet spot for most dramas, this one felt like it rushed everything in the last episode. There were a few things that I would've liked to have had answered (mostly what actually happened to some of the major characters that were either about to die, apparently terminally ill, or in jail). But I definitely enjoyed it from start to finish and would recommend it.

Cheesy and hypocritical. Everyone was a psycho but some "did it for the right reason". And the cops were dumb af

Tbh it teaches kids a bad lessons too, hero....

tho mostly what school leaves their roofs and windows open? In our school we liked to open it fully cuz in winter it'd get too cold so we didn't open the ac and just opened the window but the school ppl found out and locked it?

They tried too hard, 90% was nonsense fillers

Ml was not right, white hair took money to bully bullies.. fl kept threatening ppl with her gun..
But everything fell on the 2ml :/

The paramedics were there, the teachers should've heard something
But no, the whole school lied obv, and the cops let them be

They tried to pull a misty, but the double personality was hilarious. I'd have preferred an accident or like misty a real psycho, but he was brainwashed and had multiple personality disorder

The Show I Needed to See

This was the show I really needed to watch for all the wrong reasons. I am so tired of show after show allowing villains to get a slap on the hand or buy their way out of prison time after destroying other people's lives. But not this show. For once, pretty much all the bad guys get exactly what they deserve and even a few bad girls too. It was immensely satisfying to watch a little vigilante justice being dispense when the police were completely inept.
The casting was great, acting was good the story is a little weak but not too draggy so I highly recommend it for anybody who yearns for a long tall glass of justice.

Amazing!!

I absolutely loved this drama. ML and FL has amazing bonding by the time drama finishes. It's filled with mystery and thrill. There no overt romance as per say, but they are a couple it is showed in their emotional connect.
FL loses her brother. And it's her journey, finding who killed him. She also suspect the ML of it.
He also has his owm back story. And a troubled past. I loved his acting and character potrail. Oh, and he is good at fighting. The action scenes are good, but can be brutal for some to handle, so be warned.
Watch this. Really really. I came out having more than I expected ?

the ending was underwhelming

the ending was totally rushed, they wasted alot of time in nothing just them going round and round. The whole drama was an angst/ Teenage/ revenge Drama so the ending should have been on the same level, but I didn't feel it that much. As much as it was supposed to be totally unexpected and surprising but I didn't feel like that, it was all so rushed and packed in the last twenty minutes that's why it's impact wasn't that great.

Social issues tackled, but with plot full of flaws

At first glance, Revenge Of Others indeed has all the makings of a fantastic teen revenge-thriller. It’s stylish and has that early ’00s teen horror charm – set in a creepy, gothic school, with bullies that invoke unimaginable fear among their peers, however the script and the storyline at times are overwhelming.

Major bombshells are dropped and new characters and potential arcs are introduced so quickly it feels like one is barely even explored before there’s another. Moreover, some scenes were made hastily just to make a connection between the events. Despite the many letdowns in the plot (yes although it did tackle the problem of bullying), the actors’ performances are eye-catching. In particular, Shin Ye Eun’s solid acting is outstanding. I have seen a better and fast paced high school action thriller of 2022 (Weak Hero Class 1), which had a better output, whether be it in terms of social issues or storyline.

Despite it's heavy atmosphere and many flaws in plot, Revenge Of Others is a satisfactory watch, dealing with bullying, broken justice system and desperation of the teens to seek justice.

My Rating : 6.5/10

Crime Cases Situation are too unreasonable

It indeed doesn't make sense...
Why people doesn't report the CRIME to the police...
School bullying isn't reported.
Thugs enters school isn't reported.
Culprit isn't caught by CCTV at all.
The author is too dumb.
Brake failure isn't reported too.
All of the students are too dumb, please!
But, the DEFENSE is always reported to the police...
The author makes every cases situation too unrealistic...
This is the worst drama I have watched...

============
Terlalu gak masuk akal...
Ga ada 1 pun kejahatan yg dilaporkan ke polisi.
Ya kali masak bully dilaporin.
Preman masuk sekolah jg ga dilaporin.
Pelaku kejahatan ga ada yg ketangkap CCTV sm skali.
Authornya buta coy.
Rem blong jg ga lapor
Iya kalo ini drama W (double world), masuk akal.
Plis lah.
Sekalinya memberikan perlawanan / pertahanan diri, langsung jadi kasus sekolah / polisi.
Plis dhe dikira sinetron indo apa.
Emosi cuk

I'm not sure how I feel about this drama... Well, I know now.

AFTER WATCHING 6 EPISODES

After watching the latest episodes, as soon as they they were released, I gave this drama some thoughts. I had to decide if I wanted to continue watching it.

This drama is ridiculously packed with secrets. As if the creators were trying hard to catch the viewer's attention by forcing unexpected situations.

The idea of revenge of others was a good one, but why are almost all possible teenage problems stuffed into this drama? It might not be so bad if it was executed differently, but here are so many subplots that everything gets mixed up and makes no sense.

I had really high expectations for this drama but I am disappointed.

I am dropping it. There's a slight chance I'll come back to it someday, but right now I'd rather spend my time watching something else.

----------------------------------------------
AFTER WATCHING 3 EPISODES

I'm not sure how I feel about this drama. The idea for the story seems to be really good and full of potential but something is off. However, I don't know exactly what yet. Maybe it's the main female character. She should feel some emotion about her twin's death, but it seems very flat and forced. Maybe it's not that, I'm still trying to find an answer.

The first two episodes and half of the third bored me most of the time. I keep watching because the plot and mysteries are interesting enough for me, but the acting could be more real. At the moment, the acting is a bit flat most of the time. Because of this, I don't feel any attachment to the character. I hope my feelings about it will change soon. Also, I really hope the execution improves in the next episodes because it will be a real shame and disappointment if it doesn't.

So I keep my fingers crossed for better next episodes and acting that will bring me closer to the characters. I'm giving it a 7/10 at the moment because there's still room for improvement.

(I know that the shooting of the drama has already ended, but perhaps the creators themselves noticed things that could be done better and improved them during the recording.)

Must Watch ❤️

Its an incredible drama and i think everyone should watch this.... There are alot many good things about it...
First off,this is only a 12 episode drama and this thing they have started, i mean making non romance dramas with the overflowing chemistry of main leads... i don't know what its called but i just love this genre...
Secondly, the story is too good... its a suspense/mystery drama and not a minute goes without suspense in this drama. i mean, what else do you need for a good mystery drama???? its just perfect..
Also, the 3 main characters, ok chammi, seok jae bom and ji seo won. i loved their teamwork i just loved...
and not to forget about the plot twist.... i was blown away by the plot twist....
Btw, unpopular opinion, i loved seok jae bom. He has a class.
I am trying really hard not to give any spoilers so the people who watch it, can enjoy it to the fullest.....
