What BollyAI Thinks
Revenge of Others arrived on Disney+ in November 2022 as one of the platform's strongest early Korean originals. Directed by Kim Yoo-jin and written by Lee Hee-myung, the show centred on a topical social issue - school bullying and the systemic silencing of its victims - framed as a mystery thriller rather than a didactic drama. Shin Ye-eun and Lomon anchored the show: a driven shooting champion investigating her twin brother's death, and a financially struggling student who doles out vigilante justice to protect the vulnerable. Audience reception was warm, with an IMDb score of 7.6. Korean drama communities cited it as a tightly plotted, emotionally engaged entry in the school-mystery genre. No Rotten Tomatoes aggregate was available at the time of writing; the IMDb score and sustained viewer engagement are the clearest available indicators of the show's quality.

The Room
Standout Episodes
The hours worth arguing about - premieres, finales, and the turning points. BollyAI reads the room episode by episode.
- E1Episode 17.5
The premiere sets up Chan-mi's grief and scepticism with precision - the twin bond is established economically before the mystery hook arrives. The school environment is rendered with the particular cruelty of Korean elite-high social dynamics, and the show immediately signals it intends to take its subject seriously.
The moment: The moment Chan-mi learns the details of her brother's death and decides the official account cannot be trusted - a quiet, devastating pivot.
- E12Episode 127.2
The finale resolves the conspiracy with satisfying clarity, paying off twelve episodes of slow-burn investigation. The emotional cost lands because the show built its characters carefully - the resolution feels earned rather than mechanical.
The moment: The truth about the events that killed Chan-mi's brother is laid bare - the institutional complicity that made it possible is the show's sharpest moral argument.
