Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 75 /100

Revenge of Others generally draws praise for its engaging and suspenseful storytelling, particularly during its early episodes. Critics and viewers alike have highlighted the strong performances of leads Lomon and Shin, as well as the series' ability to tackle sensitive and topical social issues. It is frequently cited as an addictive, thrilling K-drama that effectively captures viewer attention through its revenge-focused narrative.

However, reception is mixed regarding the structure and maturity of the plot. Some critics note that the series employs a typical revenge-thriller formula and occasionally introduces plot twists so rapidly that they lack depth. Others expressed dissatisfaction with the show's conclusion and moral tone, noting that it features significant violence, bullying, and dark subject matter that may not appeal to all audiences.

“Revenge of Others’ aesthetic charm and the sublime performances of Lomon and Shin... are reason enough to give episodes three and beyond a chance.”

“With flexibly intertwined subplots, it offers a sad and highly topical social issue, dealing with it in a palpable, exciting, sensitive and touching way.”

“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.”

“I may have liked the series but it's actually quite a typical plot.”

Why fans love it

High school drama takes a sharp turn in Revenge of Others. The 2022 mystery series skips lightweight teen tropes to focus on Ok Chan-mi, a sister who refuses to accept that her twin brother committed suicide. Transferring to Yongtan High, she enters an environment rife with severe bullying, determined to uncover what actually happened on the day he fell to his death.

The central mystery deepens with the arrival of a secretive figure who metes out harsh punishment on behalf of victimized students. Featuring Shin Ye-eun, the drama balances quiet grief with a tense search for this vigilante hero, whose sudden presence seems suspiciously tied to the truth. By weaving heavy themes of revenge and high school hostility together, the show keeps its focus locked on a relentless pursuit of justice.
