L'école de la vengeance (2022)

One of the best show in 2022

I started to lose some interest in Korean shows since last year. I found it hard to continue and finish the episodes. However, Revenge of others brought me back into this world of Korean dramas. As we all know, Koreans are quite good at making thrillers and mystery styles with suspense and enigma, and that's totally what we could notice with this show.

The friendship between the characters was perfect, the scripts was fantastic, the actors were wonderful and the soundtrack... genius!

Of course some parts seemed to be missing a bit. For example, I thought the ending was pretty quick. I would have liked to known what happened with Jaebum. Is he in jail? If so, for how long? Is he seeing a psychologist? Do his friends still visit him? Also, what about Ji Soo Heon's cancer?

Still, even though the ending was rather quick and undeveloped, I wouldn't take away any points from this show. This drama gave me back the passion I lost towards Korean shows. I was taken back to 2015 when the shows made me dream and got me excited.

In short, I recommend everyone to watch this drama. One of the best I've seen in a long time...

Incredible. Watch it ASAP !

I absolutely loved it. I was into it from the beggining to the end. The length was perfect.
One of the rare kdramas with not a predominant romantic relationship and I absolutely loved it.
I enjoyed it from the very beggining.

If I had to point out little things I disliked,it would be (btw I'm being tacky because you can really overlook that):

- It was interesting to have gay characters but I felt like the couple that was revealed was as waited as irrelevant. To be clearer I already felt
at a certain point that it was Sejin that was dating him (not gonna spoil the character's name) from the little flashbacks yet when it was revealed it was already too obvious to make me be like 'Oh. Such a plot twist!' Also in when the latests scenes of their couple was showed as a flashback, I felt like there was no chemistry between them, as if they were putting on some act ? (you know, as in some BLs...). Yet they were cute together (tbh I would have preferred if it was been revealed jae bum was actually really dating Wonseok because in their photos they really had some chemistry).

- We never got an explanation on how the four boys knew each others and how things got ruined since lately they were almost all having beefs with each others.
--> a bully to the two others, who turns out to be also a gaslighter and really manipulative afterwards to the third and last one..

- The way writers erased Jae Bum and ML's friendship as soon as they introduced it, was disappointing because I liked their genuine and cute interactions and after it just maked no sense how they went from super friendly to just acquaintances who talk only when chan mi and the investigation are getting involved smh...

- Then the end. I felt last ep was too rushed. Evil character (forgot his name) absolutely didn't receive what he deserved when he litteraly destroyed every single character's life. On the other side as soon as Jae Bum (defo my fav and even always loved this actor sm) stepped in that damn car, we never knew what happened to him like writers please?- we wanted to know how judicial stuffs went for him eventho it was clear he was in some serious sh*t with evil character dead now. Btw Oh Sung (I now recall "Evil character"'s name lmao) is defo not straight. I feel like writers pulled out this plotwist with this "I love my biggest enemy who is also my relative" trope to avoid having another queer character in the series. Why ? Because of his reactions (mainly jealousy) when Jae Bum was with other ppl (yet the same Oh Sung would deliberately abandons him for his friends as soon as he could) especially ML, Soo Heon. A precise example would be when he said "it was Wonseok (who at that moment of the series was allegedly Jae Bum's bf if we rely on what Oh Sung was saying) and now it's Soo Heon" as he was looking at the two of them from a classroom above with something in his voice that hinted he could be attracted to Jae Bum. Also when a moment in the series came that ML and FL went to Oh Sung's house to check out what he was hiding and saw several pictures of him and other 3 boys (Wonseok , Sejin and Jae Bum), I REALLY felt like it was some hints that he really liked Jae Bum (in a not sane way tho but you see..)

I loved all the characters and appreciated how they all had a background. A quick shoutout to Sooheon boi who caught a cancer only for plot's sake cuz wth ?. He successfully lived after all that eventho his head was getting banged throughout the whole show, he was fainting often and he was more likely to die but I assume it was for the show's sake-

This was really good, expected more... something was missing

This was really good, expected more but the acting was great and the story was interesting if there is a second season I'm definetly watching it and I believe I will def like it more than this season (unless they literally ruin it lol riverdale flashbacks) so many people frustrated me tho like Chanmi and Sooheon meeting people they don't know in dark mysterious alleys like wtf getting beat up or hit across the HEAD WITH A FUCKING BRICK just wasn't enough, you need more?!

Something was missing maybe cause I thought this was going to be a school mystery but they even tried a guy that didn't go to their school?? Just put me a little off.

Also the cliche telenovela dual/split personality thing not great but didn't hate it as much as I usually do when it comes to cliches, kinda entertaining maybe cause I liked Jaebum!! I think it was also a little rushed I'm just not satisfied maybe cause it was really hyped and it didn't live up to my expectations... I called everything out like Sejin and Wonseok (Chankyu) dating, the sibling 'love' etc again cliches.

The ending tho besides not explaining what happened to everyone else like Jaebum (his sentence and stuff) or Osung (like u dead bro or nah?! if yes which I think is the case, no funeral scene??) it was super cute with the entire school lying for him and saying goodbye to him <3 (would've SOBBED if that wasn't spoiled for me lmao)

Inicio intrigante, término morto e pacato.

Começo interessante, mistério no ar, atores principais muito bons. Mas a história é mal aproveitada, comecei a maratonar e fui perdendo a vontade de ver, os ganchos não me mantinham preso e ansioso por um novo episódio, talvez pra quem assistiu acompanhando os lançamentos dos episódios a sensação foi diferente, no meu caso foi difícil de prosseguir. O plot não é dos mais criativos, desde os episódios iniciais essa solução passou na minha cabeça, o personagem que se vinga também tem carisma e carrega a série nas costas, mas quando ele não tem o que fazer no roteiro a série só existe. Eu comecei a ver isso perto dos episódios finais lançados e só agora em 2024 tive coragem de terminar, pensei bastante em dropar, mas quis ver o desfecho disso.

Totally Gripping

First of all, I know a lot of people have said that the ending lets it down, and it's true that it could have been better and it was cliché, but at the same time, it's not TERRIBLE, and to me it didn't matter because the rest of the drama was AMAZING and more than made up for it.

The casting was great (all the guys were hot?! I'm shallow, sorry), and the way it was written kept you going from loving someone to doubting them and then loving them again.

It truly was a rollercoaster and I would definitely recommend it. Even if you're someone who despises clichés - like I normally do - I'd say give it a watch anyway because it might surprise you how much you enjoy it! :)

Non mi sarei sognata un finale così di m*rda nemmeno nei miei peggiori incubi. Si rovina tutto con gli ultimi due episodi. Non che fosse l'opera del secolo, la più bella cosa che io abbia mai visto, ma ha saputo tenermi incollata allo schermo e incuriosirmi man mano che si andava avanti e che si scoprivano sempre più cose.
La cosa bella di questo drama è che punta il dito contro le scuole, contro quegli adulti che non sono in grado o non vogliono essere in grado di proteggere i loro studenti. Dà voce a quelli che per una volta vorrebbero che i bulli venissero puniti, ma c'è sempre il retro della medaglia e un nostro caro personaggio dovrà fare i conti con questo. Si parla di amore, di quell'amore che porta una persona fare tutto il necessario e anche più per scoprire chi ha ammazzato il fratello. Un tipo di amore che per chi non ha fratelli non potrà mai capire.
E ALLORA MI CHIEDO PERCHE'!

One of the best mystery dramas of 2022

The whole story involving the cast is fantastic. The personal growth of each character makes the story get better and better throughout the episodes. It's a story that grips everyone from start to finish.We feel anger, affection, sadness, betrayal and all the feelings that the characters feel.
The whole development of the story behind the death of Park Wonseok makes it captivating, as clues and more clues appear that lead us to believe that the killer is a person, but, in the end, it was not what we were looking for.
It was without a doubt one of the best mystery dramas I've seen this year. Despite the ending being a little open and where they could have explored some more points that, in my opinion, would be important, I LOVED it.
If you want to see a GOOD mystery drama then Regenge of Others is a GREAT option.

perfeito.

e então, eu finalmente vi "revenge of others"... esse kdrama chamou muito a minha atenção desde o dia do lançamento. foi impossível não favoritar já que tem dois atores que eu gosto muito, a shin yeeun e o park solomon. sempre vejo os trabalhos deles porque são impecáveis!e eu não sabia que precisava ver esses dois atuando juntos até eu assistir. enfim, eu senti tantas coisas com esse dorama... senti medo, nojo, raiva, ódio para dar e vender e tristeza. muita tristeza. também sorri como um bobo com as amizades dos personagens, especialmente da chanmi e o sooheon. eu curti muito o enredo e a forma como ele foi desenvolvido. mesmo após finalizar há algumas horas, eu continuo pensando no jaebeom. eu não compreendi muito bem essa questão então talvez eu assista novamente no futuro...
não esperava que fosse aquela pessoa que assassinou o wonseok. não esperava mesmo. fiquei chocado.

Thrilling beginning but disappointing end

I am a huge fan of a revenge plotline. The show really keeps you captivated and mesmerized for most of the series. The whodunit aspects in the beginning really do keep you guessing. However, the show falters in the last few episodes. When the audience finds out the motivations for all this havok it's almost laughable. So anticlimatic. The police as usual, are dumber than a box of rocks and don't really serve a purpose in the story other than to annoy us.

The cast is good and all of the actors were new to me. I liked Seo Ji Hoon as Jaebum and Lomon as Seohoon. Seo Ji Hoon was excellent as Gi Osung. He nailed his role as the person you love to hate. He took smug and arrogant to a new level.

Overall, an enjoyable series to watch once. I loved Gsoul's song Lost Game which played throughout the series and was the closing theme song.

I don't care what anyone says about the ending or whatever, I really really enjoyed this show and all the characters (and the OST too, it was sooooooo good). I really liked our female main character: Ok Chanmi. She was quite naive at times, going to dark places with no back up, yet she was not one to give up or back down. She defended herself and those she cared about, so that was refreshing and nice to see. The male lead was great! I haven't seen "All Of Us Are Dead" yet, so that was my first Lomon-Drama but I liked him a lo. The fighting scenes were really cool and I quite liked the revelations - no matter how obvious they were. One last thing: Jaebum is innocent, Oh Gisung is the root of all evil and literally the spawn of Satan.
