7.5/10 (8.5/10 for the romance alone)

Revenge of Others is an ambitious, uneven drama—the mystery plot has holes, and the pacing lags mid-season. But the love story between Chan-mi and Soo-heon is a rare gem: mature, messy, and achingly human. It reminds us that sometimes the most romantic thing two people can do is choose to heal together, even when revenge is all they have left.

Lomon’s Soo-heon is the emotional anchor. His micro-expressions—a clenched jaw, averted eyes, the rare softening when Chan-mi calls his name—carry more weight than pages of dialogue. Shin Ye-eun matches him beat for beat, making Chan-mi’s vulnerability feel raw, not weak.
