Revenge of Others (2022) - Pilot Episode Review: "Catchy Start"

The Korean drama series "Revenge of Others" is one of the most recent offerings on Disney+'s streaming platform. It recently aired its first episode, which tells the story of Ok Cha-Min, played by Shin Ye-Eun, who is trying to discover the truth about his twin brother's death.

Ok Cha-Min and her twin brother were raised in a Busan orphanage. When the older brother adapted and moved to Seoul with the new parents, they were separated. Even though they were separated, they remained in constant communication, as evidenced by their video call in the pilot episode. After a while, his twin brother abruptly told her to wait because someone had entered the room he was in, and the call abruptly ended. His brother was now out of reach. As a result, she went to Seoul to check on him, but he was dead, and the case was closed as a suicide.

She does not believe his brother attempted suicide, and even in the pilot episode, the way he falls does not appear to be suicide. Cha-Min decided to transfer to his brother's school, where she encountered Lomon's character, Ji Soo-Heon, in a variety of ways.

I was reminded of Class of Lies by this drama series. I'm not saying they're the same, but they do share some vibes. The first few scenes reminded me of Penthouse because they showed what happened, or should I say the beginning of the conflict or mystery. As a mystery fan, I'd like to know more about how this story will unfold. It raises a lot of questions for me, such as who went on the floor where the twin brother is staying. Why did Ji Soo-Heon have the phone number of Cha-Min's twin brother's supposedly girlfriend? Is it also a power trip/abuse school where the wealthy get what they want? For the last question, power abuse will be what makes the story exciting, such as how they will fight corruption in the school while discovering the truth.

I was bothered by a scene in which the doctor revealed Ji Soo Heon's diagnosis. I'm not sure if it was the proper way. I'm not a doctor or anything but telling the outcome of his medical check-up in a public place where people could hear it was awkward and stressful for me. 

The pilot episode began with a bang and ended with a bang that will leave you even more perplexed. Ji Soo-Heon's claim that he was present at the scene and saw the twin brother fall was dubious. I apologize for the spoilers; I simply want to walk you through the pilot episode. I'll write about it again after the series has concluded. So, if you haven't watched it, this is just a starting point for you to determine whether what I said is correct or incorrect. But, for those who have already seen it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This drama or type of drama is really for me, and I want more episodes as soon as possible. And I'm hoping that the story's progression will give me the goosebumps I'm expecting. I'm hoping more from this drama, and I'm wishing it doesn't disappoint. To summarize the pilot, it was a Catchy Start that kept you hooked.
