I wish I had watched this earlier! This was such an unexpected delight considering I usually always stick to romance dramas. Though this drama has definitely inspired me to watch more kdramas with the main plot being a thriller/mystery.

Synopsis:
Revenge of Others starts strong, drawing you into a thrilling high school mystery. Ok Chanmi transfers schools determined to uncover the truth behind her twin brother's alleged suicide. There, she meets Ji Sooheon, a brooding student with a mysterious past, and together they delve into the dark secrets of Yongtan High.
Review:
Ok Chanmi (Shin Ye-eun) is such a good sister, the way she was so sure her twin brother would never commit suicide and stepped away from her life in Busan just to uncover her brother’s murderer. Things seriously got so tough for her throughout the show at times, I kept on feeling so enraged. Never had a show made me want to beat someone up so bad. My most favorite part about her just might be how she never backed down or let all the threats, jabs, or harm get to her and stood her ground. Though, seeing her character still cry and mourn at times added a layer of depth and made me love her character even more.
Ji Soo-heon (Lomon) had such a cute, innocent-like demeanor but when it came to teaching horrible people some horrible lessons that they'd remember, he did not hold back. Absolutely loved his character. And even though he could be so terribly violent, he’s so soft and caring for his friends and always looking out for them. He knew when Chanmi was hurting and went out of his way to be there for her.
I also loved how Chanmi and Soo-heon’s vibes went so well together. They both acted so nonchalant and chill all the time so watching these two was just so entertaining. Even though they never really had any romantic moments, they just had some undeniable natural chemistry. They just go together like pieces of a puzzle. An amazing duo. They would’ve been the most powerful couple.
The plot was so addicting and fast-paced. I could not stop watching, especially towards the last few episodes. Solving the mystery about Chanmi’s brother was interesting but the revenge cases were so hooking. I could not get enough of it. The person who was revealed at the end wasn’t completely unexpected and a super crazy plot twist. The way they set things up, I already expected how things would go in relation to the people in the mystery. Nonetheless, it was still entertaining, and things got really tense and crazy with the last plot twist. I was kind of confused if I understood what they were trying to convey since the captions translated things in a weird way, but I think I got it and it’d be cool if they had expanded on that a bit more.
