Loved the actors, but the Black Panther King plot was too chaotic for my taste

I give it a good 7/10.

First of all, I love the actors. I think the director made a good choice, not only are they good in their respective roles, but the chemistry is there too! Which I find quite rare in shows lately. Also, I'm not usually a fan of shows that go back in time (1900s). But, in this case, I thought the whole thing was very good.

However, I really didn't like the whole story with the Black Panther King or whatever his name is. A few episodes would have been enough, but this was just too much. Especially as it became quite strange. The fact that he lives in a cave in the middle of the forest, the all-black make-up, the black clothes... like? Was that really necessary? We've gone from something that can be ''realistic'' to something that doesn't make sense anymore, especially after ten or so episodes.

Personally, I think we could have omitted that bit of the story, or really diminished it, and based ourselves much more on Choenkhwan's story, with her stepmother, her half-sisters and her husband who's ''dead''. The story would have been so much better and much more realistic.

However, I'll leave it at 7/10, because it's been a long time since I've enjoyed a lakorn, and this one was more than enough for me, despite the few flaws.

One of the best show in 2022

I started to lose some interest in Korean shows since last year. I found it hard to continue and finish the episodes. However, Revenge of others brought me back into this world of Korean dramas. As we all know, Koreans are quite good at making thrillers and mystery styles with suspense and enigma, and that's totally what we could notice with this show.

The friendship between the characters was perfect, the scripts was fantastic, the actors were wonderful and the soundtrack... genius!

Of course some parts seemed to be missing a bit. For example, I thought the ending was pretty quick. I would have liked to known what happened with Jaebum. Is he in jail? If so, for how long? Is he seeing a psychologist? Do his friends still visit him? Also, what about Ji Soo Heon's cancer?

Still, even though the ending was rather quick and undeveloped, I wouldn't take away any points from this show. This drama gave me back the passion I lost towards Korean shows. I was taken back to 2015 when the shows made me dream and got me excited.

In short, I recommend everyone to watch this drama. One of the best I've seen in a long time...

A good movie to pass the time

It's a good movie to pass the time. Cliché, but still good! However, I would have liked to see a few passages from Gib's life at university and the difficulties she encountered. What she liked and didn't like about her classes, whether she had any friends, etc. I'd also have liked to see a few more romantic passages between Gib and Tor, to see their relationship develop over time. In addition, a little time lapse at the end of the film, about the couple and Gib's new studies, would also have been a good addition to the movie to end it all on a high note.

Otherwise, the side story with the youngsters was also good and a good touch to the film.

Overall : 7/10
