Revenge of Others started off as a great murder mystery and towards the end drifted a little. Lots of plots and small storylines going on and even little things that were added in that had me genuinely thrown for a loop. The acting and overall revenge stories are what hooked me in and it's a good watch if you're looking for revenge with a happy ending.
While the main plot is "Who killed Chan-Mi's twin brother?", there are a ton of smaller plots playing out as well. Bullying, jealousy, gaslighting, murder mystery, secret stalker, a lot of suspects, and a lot of things left in the wind for others. What they added in at the end with Gi Osung and his sister is what let my rating slip a good bit. I felt that it wasn't really necessary to the storyline AT ALL. Especially when we know what we do about how the bullying started. It was just a really weird shock factor thing thrown in? It wasn't even needed to explain why he did because the reason was: they were investigating things that he was involved in and getting close to the truth. My other problem was one of the main plot points is that Ji Soo-Heon is suffering from a brain tumor and this causes his behavior, nose bleeds, etc.. but it's never resolved or explained further after the doctor's visit? He just goes and lives his life and we just pretend that isn't a thing? I wish that the ending and their futures were given more time for better explanations, especially Soo-Heon's. I feel that they spent a lot of time on other things that weren't too important to the main plot. One whole episode was dedicated to something that could've been resolved and shown in 30 minutes of an episode. Just really weird pacing overall with the main plot line, you don't figure out who REALLY did it until the very last episode.
The ending itself is really weird and random. The person who actually did it and how that's revealed didn't make a lot of sense to me and seemed super random. I felt that they needed someone else because it was obvious that Gi Osung was involved somehow pretty early on into the drama. This is another reason why I gave it an 8.5. It just felt messy and rushed towards the end.
Overall, it's a good watch if you're wanting something short but has action to keep you interested.
