Third Person Revenge (2022)

The most unethical drama I have watched!

The reason why I am giving this so low, is because of the extreme callousness towards brain tumor shown by the writers. The male lead has tumor which supposedly cannot be operated. Did the writers even do any research, for brain tumors which cannot be operated strong chemotherapy with radiation is actually the line of treatment to treat it. The prognosis with ratiation is actually quite good at 30 percent for 10 years. The tumor is actually very new (since it did not metastasis into other body parts) hence at most was stage 1 or stage 2, even then the doctor was like don’t treat it? Does that even makes sense.
At no point was the lead ahead shaved and he was given targetted radiotherapy why? Also, being so active is just not possible if one has tumor, since it can expand slowly and damage the occipital lobe (eye part of the brain) and motor functions. So goodness knows what type of tumor it was.
Also the comments of the doctor was very ableist where they said that if I operate your brain you may get cerebral palsy? Seriously? We have Paralympic gold medalists like yip pin xiu who suffer from muscular dystrophy and still carry on. Which doctor will ever say I will not save your life since you may get disabled as a result of the treatment?
I got so frustrated with whatever the writers were trying to say. Tragedies upon tragedies heaped upon people and so much violence.
I actually liked the drama but for the way the brain cancer was treated was pretty unforgiving. What if a cancer patient was actually watching this drama? What is the message? Their life is over or they don’t deserve to receive treatment since they may get disabled?

It’s missing something

Plot
this drama had a a lot of potential, but it kind of missed the mark. The storyline was all over the place. you could not understand why the people killed the others and they barely touched on the main reason why brother got killed. And these high school kids where not acting like high school kids and overall the revenge fell short. And not to give out to much the revenge was mid.

characters
you could not sympathize with any of them and it’s was too far fetched and they acted so foolishly and especially the main female lead. And the bad guys just seemed to lack depth like if you are evil 😈 they should be a reason why you are like that except if you are a sociopath.

missing the mark on important issues
they take to lightly the fact that some issues where not fully explained like being GAY , sexual harassment, bullying and death 💀

overall
invite this drama a 5.5 if you are looking to watch a quick bad bad show this is for you because they are moments where you get excited but it falls down so quickly. would not recommend this for first time drama watchers

Do you know who you can trust?

Go into this prepared to completely love the Leads, to enjoy their friends, to absolutely loathe the bullies, & to have mixed feelings about a few others.

A girl trying to figure out the truth behind her twin brother’s supposed suic!de & a boy grappling with the news that he’s terminally ill. They’re both strong individuals who haven’t had easy lives, but how much weight can they handle before they inevitably break under the pressure?

This unlikely duo is about to find out that, even when the world seems to be caving in, having just one person whom you can completely trust in can make a huge difference. And by focusing on being that person for each other, they begin to experience a lessening of the weight of their own sorrow.

This is a gritty story of the dark side of high school. There’s so much hurt & heartache beneath the surface, while the students are just trying to survive & make it to graduation. And while it will make you ache at the pain these youth face daily, it’s not all dark & twisted…

Out of the suffering they’re both facing, a deep bond is formed between the Leads. The unexpected connection helps them endure the pain of living. And in each other they find solace & strength.

Their chemistry is amazing, especially since this isn’t a romance drama. But their words & actions show a deep love for one another that leaps off the screen. 🔥🫠

Their group of friends (& all the stories those teens bring to the story) are such an integral part of the plot. This drama is both the hurt & the cure…

Enjoyable drama but the plot is kind obvious

Revenge of Others had me excited most of the episodes especially at the beginning and we do have some interesting characters. We also have pretty violent scenes here but it was a positive thing for me as this is a revenge drama. The ones who got mostly got tortured here really deserved it. The main OST is pretty addicting too.

Talking about the characters, Ji Soo Heon, our "hero", is a really charming character and it's impossible to not like him, for me he was one of the good things that the drama has to offer. I really enjoyed Solomon's acting in this drama! Jae Beom was also an interesting one. The actor nailed his scenes and he really shined in the last episodes, more than the main leads. I joked to my friends that I started liking Soo Heon but ended liking Jae Beom more lol Chan Mi is character we do root for, first because we want to know what happened to her brother, second because she has a lot of scenes being bullied in the school. But her character lacked something for me. I wasn't able to love her and I love the actress, but for some reason I didn't enjoyed her character that much here. The writer also made her too stupid sometimes. Her scenes with Soo Heon were pretty cute tho. O Sung and Ji Hyun were pretty hateful characters but O Sung was an interesting character. The actor nailed for me, really convincing. So Yeon has an exotic appearance so she was really interesting to me and of course we do root for her because we know what she went through. Also the idea of "revenge" was kind of hers. But I think the character could have been something more.

I think the drama started really well and I was really addicted. Of course we had some dumb scenes and decisions made by the characters (especially Chan Mi) but still was good for me. But I got to say, although Jae Beam's DID was already hinted by the drama, the way that the writer developed this in the last episode was kind cringe and messed up to me. And if we really think about the plot, it was kind obvious. The writer tried to mess up with our minds in the half of the drama but if you think closely the murder was obvious since the beginning. We also ended up not knowing what would happen to Soo Heon and I think it was an important thing since the drama mentioned his illness repeatedly. I had the feeling that for some reason the ending felt finished but open at the same time. I think the only thing that really surprised me in the drama was the LGBT theme. I was really not expecting.

So yeah in general I think it's an enjoyable and fun drama and I do recommend if you like high school dramas with revenge and mystery plot. But do not expected something really cleaver.

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.

Murder mystery with a side of revenge

It was so good, the plot was had me on the edge of my seat. We follow Ok Chanmi as she tries to solve the mystery behind her twin brother's death. She transfers high schools from Busan to Seoul to investigate. On the other hand, you have a boy, having given up on his life due to unfortunate circumstances, who decide to help her while leading a secret double life at night as one who avenges those who are wronged by the powerful at their school. It was kind of violent at times, but super satisfying at the time. I really was loving this drama, but the ending really ruined it for me. I can't say too much without spoiling, but I didn't like how they chose to explain the motive behind the brother's death and how they managed to conceal everything for the duration of the show. Even tho I didn't like that, I still think its a good drama and one that I have re-watched bits of several times.

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

Adorei

Com certeza a história é interessante e te prende do começo ao fim, você se vê submerso naquele suspense, tenta desifrar o mistério porém quando acha que sabe alguma coisa, na realidade você não sabe e nem tem certeza de nada. O drama consegue manter um bom ritimo durante todos os episódios.

As atuações são boas e os personagens fazem sentido, e contribuem direta ou indiretamento para o desenvolvimento da história. Falando nisso adorei o casal protagonista, tinham muita química.

Em fim com certeza aconselho que você assista esse drama.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The story is certainly interesting and holds you from beginning to end, you find yourself submerged in that suspense, you try to enjoy the mystery but when you think you know something, in reality you don't know and you're not even sure of anything. The drama manages to keep a good rhythm throughout the episodes.

The performances are good and the characters make sense, and contribute directly or indirectly to the development of the story. Speaking of which, I loved the protagonist couple, they had a lot of chemistry.

In the end, I definitely advise you to watch this drama.

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 💞
