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.
