At first glance, Revenge Of Others indeed has all the makings of a fantastic teen revenge-thriller. It's stylish and has that early '00s teen horror charm - set in a creepy, gothic school, with bullies that invoke unimaginable fear among their peers, however the script and the storyline at times are overwhelming.
Major bombshells are dropped and new characters and potential arcs are introduced so quickly it feels like one is barely even explored before there's another. Moreover, some scenes were made hastily just to make a connection between the events. Despite the many letdowns in the plot (yes although it did tackle the problem of bullying), the actors' performances are eye-catching. In particular, Shin Ye Eun's solid acting is outstanding. I have seen a better and fast paced high school action thriller of 2022 (Weak Hero Class 1), which had a better output, whether be it in terms of social issues or storyline.
Despite it's heavy atmosphere and many flaws in plot, Revenge Of Others is a satisfactory watch, dealing with bullying, broken justice system and desperation of the teens to seek justice.
My Rating : 6.5/10.
