The Strengths And Weaknesses
The series earns an 8.2 out of 10. That score comes from our own judgment, not a tally of other opinions.
What works well:
- The mystery stays tight across all twelve episodes, adding clues without rushing the story.
- The chemistry between Chan-mi and Soo-heon drives the central partnership forward.
- The supporting cast gives each episode a distinct flavor, moving the investigation along.
Where it could improve:
- Some middle episodes rely on similar set pieces, slowing the pace in the center of the season.
- The reveal of the killer’s identity, while satisfying, feels somewhat expected given earlier hints.
- The danger Soo-heon brings to the story occasionally overshadows the quiet grief driving Chan-mi’s search.
The Final Word
“Revenge of Others” is a solid mystery drama that rewards patience. Its central mystery is well constructed, its leads are compelling, and its supporting cast adds texture to the world of Yongtan High. The pacing drags slightly in the middle stretch, and the final reveal leans on expectations built early in the season. Even so, the series delivers a satisfying conclusion that ties together its threads of grief, vengeance, and the search for truth.
An 8.2 out of 10.
