Vinganca em Terceira Pessoa (2022)

Interesting twists but a bit lacking in logic

This is one of those dramas that starts off meeh and honestly kind of depressing but gets better as the plot unfolds. As both leads have extremely depressing background stories to make the audience feel both a sense of urgency and protect them in all coast type of deal...

Lomon and Seo Ji Hoon rocked this roles where very well written, consistently good interesting, and defiantly stole the show not only for the show of abs but actual substance they did a great job but I would have wanted to see a lot more screen time with Seo Ji Hoon.

The Others acting, characters and story was kind of inconsistent, some scenes where great others not so much.

Shin Ye Eun had som great scenes but there were times where she did not really convince me, I also found her character annoyingly stupid at times as she changed sides more often than a pingpong boll during a tournament. However her chemistry with Lomon was lovely, and she is overall a pretty bad ass person (whenever she is not acting stupid).

Most of The Other girls were pretty cool most of the time, complex, lovable and showed great friendship.
Lee Soo Min was however better than her role, which was a bit to stereotypical mean girl... She did of course rock it but I hope to see her get casted for better roles. Chae Sang Woo could use a lesson or two in acting, and though his character did make me wonder I still feel that there was something missing...

There drama presents a few social issues here and there but they do not really get in to them as well as show an inconsistency in funding, illogical solutions, illogical situations, illogical decisions, so yes a whole lot of lack of logic and bunch of loose ends too for that matter. The amount of times the male lead gets hit in the head is ridiculous, and I am pretty sure some of those blows should have been lethal. That said this is a drama that actually had me guessing pretty much from start to finish, no that there weren't any clues they were just very wide spread so it was actually a challenge to put all the pieces together which I like.

The OST is lovely so is the cinematography but the filming will also give you motion sickness at times.

So what can I say this was a pretty ok watch, one i would recommend whenever you feel like watching pretty people fight, splatter blood and stay a step a head of the police while trying to solve not only one but several mystery's while falling in love... this is not a bad place to find it, just do not expect to much logic or any kisses.

Decepcionante

Es decepcionante la manera en la que se cae toda la historia, los primeros capítulos son decentes hasta que las piezas comienzan a encajar y el guion comienza a mostrar agujeros enormes y la historia comienza a ser inconsistente, con personajes vacíos que no aportan nada y que solo están para agregar contexto de lo que va pasando pero sin tener peso narrativo.

El final me parece de lo peor, se cae todo en ese momento, lo poco que habían hecho bien se queda en nada y todo parece ser en vano, realmente decepcionante porque pintaba para ser una serie de misterio muy buena y se quedó en nada.

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama " Revenge of Others " is an action school drama.

The series starts out quite intense, with the mystery's plot getting thicker and thicker. However, the drama kept additing substories, thus, losing focus from the main one who was forgotten in most of the episodes of the middle.

But the series biggest problem was the fact that they couldn't complete all those storylines or make them come together and make sense. As a result, the ending was rushed and a big let down, as many of the answers they gave were illogical and idiotic.

At least, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, two out of ten.

Um drama com potencial, mas com final decepcionante.

Regenge of Others como o próprio título sugere trata da busca de vingança. Tanto da protagonista que está buscando o culpado pelo assassinato do irmão, quanto do Ji Soon Heon que decide se vingar daqueles que praticam bullying em troca de dinheiro para pagar pelo tratamento hospitalar de sua mãe.

O início do drama é bem interessante e acompanhar a dinâmica desses dois personagens é bem legal. Porém nos últimos 3/4 episódios o roteirista opta por uma explicação preguiçosa para a resolução dos homicídios. Consegui desvendar o verdadeiro culpado pela morte do irmão da Ok Chami nos primeiros episódios, só faltava entender a motivação. Mas a motivação é o que chamo de "explicação preguiçosa".

Acho que teria sido muito mais interessante se o Seok Jae Beom tivesse cometido o crime por conta da manipulação do Gi Osung devido a sua falta de memória "pós-acidente" e ele se sentisse culpado ao descobrir a verdade do seu "acidente". Mas toda essa justificativa de transtorno de personalidade dissociativa é, na minha opinião, uma solução preguiçosa e até covarde. Teria sido muito mais complexo do ponto de vista psicológico uma pessoa cometer um crime passional e depois descobrir que a motivação para seu crime era uma mentira. Essa descoberta faria o Seok Jae Beom se sentir muito culpado e justificaria ele tentar ser legal com a Ok Chami para aliviar a culpa. Mas se foi a "personalidade malvada" que fez tudo, tira o peso do ato. Enfim, o drama tinha potencial para ser melhor, mas o final foi um tanto decepcionante.

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?

Another good mystery that suffer from bad ending

This is a pretty good, non-heavy mystery drama. It follows high schooler's perspective, so it's easier to keep up with compared to detective mysteries while still bringing up some heavy topics like bullying, etc. 
 
It's pretty easy to figure out the culprit early on if you watch lots of mystery dramas, but they still leave you guessing about the reason and even cast doubt midway.
 
The occasional romance moments don't disrupt the whole mystery vibe and happen quite naturally, I would say.
 
SPOILER
The only problem is the ending. Ok Chanmi goes from wanting to kill anyone she suspects to forgiving and talking her way with Seok Jaebeom in seconds. Worse, the dialogue makes Jaebeom seem like he is possessed by an evil spirit rather than having a double personality.
 
Police closing Gi Osung's case as a suicide attempt also betrayed the story. It all started with the police prematurely closing Park Woonseok's case as suicide without proper investigation, so it's back to square one.
 
"Gi Osung deserves that" and "Ji Sooheon deserves to live his life" aren't enough justifications. Sooheon could easily escape that one case using self-defense arguments anyway.

Laughable Ending and a Waste Potential of a Story

A sister, excitedly on a video call with her twin brother, suddenly watches unknowingly as her brother is murdered in broad daylight--pushed from a school window and plummeting to his death. This initial hook in the first episode got me excited about the potential of the plot. I was not only empathizing with the sister, who had just experienced a severe loss and is now on the hunt to find her brother's murderer.

Major Spoilers:

One of my main issues with the show is that there were so many irrelevant factors, Ji Sooheon's brain tumour becomes a useless fact that is only used as a way to make the audience sympathize with his character faster, the loss of his mother is also one I found quite random. Then we have one character who is pregnant, and once again adds no relevancy to the plot.

However I was able to accept all of these if the ending was satisfying, but instead, we get a cop-out ending with the classic case of split personality. It really felt disrespectful to the audience to have this over-used plot element as the 'climatic' ending. I felt like I wasted my time with the show, after all the build-up they also kill Ki Oh Sung in the ending, which felt so rushed and not needed.

Plus why in the world is a man with a brain tumour being hit dozens of times in the head and coming out practically unscathed each time, it was as if he was invincible and it made me not want to take the plot elements seriously. The whole show, near the second half, felt so lacklustre and rushed. Most of the 'clues' and 'evidence' we are the audience are given as basic boring ones like the murderer being left-handed and using his left foot to commit the murder.

I really had high expectations for the drama, in the first half, which is why I'm angered by how the plot ended up. It would've been better to have Jaebum not lose his memories and join Chanmi & Sooheon's group, then we as the audience get attached to Jaebum only to find out later that he is the murderer and was only using them to cover up his murder. I would rather they played into Jaebum being a pure villain, rather than a half-baked split-personality villain.

There were so many poorly written elements that made me frustrated with the show and honestly I regret watching it.

A thriller that will leave you with overwhelming questions after each episode...

At first, I was hesitant to watch this as I thought this would be cringy even though I thought the trailer was amazing...
However I was wrong, this show is amazing. It may be a bit graphic to some people however it really adds to the story and makes the story to not feel "kid like". Each episode feels like a way of telling us secretly who could've killed Ok Chang-Mi. However it also tricks us with who it might be since there's a lot of people Ok Chang-Mi Investigates. I think that it is important for a thriller show to not easily tell us who it is by the first episode or counting episode, showing us clues and even tricking us can really put us into our seats and just wonder, who is the killer... Each episode unveils more information but in a low-key way for us to figure out and make a our own hypothesis on who it could be.
I think this a rating of 9 really fits this drama. Of course it can't be a 10 since every drama has something a watcher may not like or were feeling iffy about.
There's not much I can say about the music as I don't remember none except one that I like that they always put in the background or at the ending.
Overall this was well done and I definitely recommend to watch. Another fun note, I feel like Disney is getting darker and darker with their shows, and I love it.

Dont rely on REVIEWS.

I wouldn't say anything detailed here, all I can say is watch it for yourself to know and to see it for yourself.

The connection of EACH character is so good, like EVERY character has their sense. You'll get mixed emotions. See for u to know.

The cast? Their acting is phenomenal. Jihoon and Sangwoo NAILED IT. I love Lomon and Yeeun so much, but Jihoon and Sangwoo? Danggg, these two.

Tbh, I somehow get why some peeps said the ending was unsatisfying and a bit disappointing. But for me, personally, I love it. Just a right ending for this kind of drama.

Watch it to see, dont rely on reviews.

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.
