## Spoilers

### Premise

The story begins when a boy falls to his death at school. Ok Chan-mi does not believe that her twin brother, Park Won-seok, committed suicide, and she transfers to his school, Yongtan High, to find out the truth.<sup>[2](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-88245478-73ca-41da-8836-7af72d261a91)</sup> There she meets [Ji Soo](https://www.edgepedia.org/ji-soo)-heon, a classmate who witnessed her brother's death.<sup>[2](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-88245478-73ca-41da-8836-7af72d261a91)</sup>

A "hero" who avenges bullied students appears at Yongtan High, and Chan-mi speculates that this figure may be connected to her brother and starts looking for him.<sup>[2](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-88245478-73ca-41da-8836-7af72d261a91)</sup> Soo-heon, needing money, accepts a revenge-by-proxy proposal from Tae So-yeon, and his identity gradually becomes a question for the other students.<sup>[2](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-88245478-73ca-41da-8836-7af72d261a91)</sup> A second thread follows Seok Jae-beom, who returns to school after losing his memory in an accident and learns shooting from Chan-mi; as his memories return, the truth becomes more tangled.<sup>[2](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-88245478-73ca-41da-8836-7af72d261a91)</sup> The series builds toward Chan-mi pointing a gun at the person responsible for her brother's death.<sup>[2](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-88245478-73ca-41da-8836-7af72d261a91)</sup>

The drama treats bullying and suicide as central subjects, and most of its characters turn out to be victims of other people or of the system around them.<sup>[8](https://once-upon-a-drama.com/2023/01/28/revenge-of-others-drama-review/)</sup>

## Production and release

The series was written by Lee Hee-myung, a writer of hit school and youth dramas since the 1990s including *Dinosaur Teacher* and *Mr. Q*, and directed by Kim Yoo-jin, who had directed Lee's previous work *Meet Again World*; the two worked together again on this series.<sup>[12](https://v.daum.net/v/20221108141510231)</sup> Production was by Studio S.<sup>[4](https://d.namu.moe/w/3%EC%9D%B8%EC%B9%AD%20%EB%B3%B5%EC%88%98)</sup> At the online production press conference on November 8, 2022, Kim Yoo-jin said the direction focused on harmonizing the contrasting characters of a revenge genre piece and a teen drama, combining frequent action scenes and a relentlessly strong storyline with the fresh presence of young actors in school uniforms.<sup>[12](https://v.daum.net/v/20221108141510231)</sup>

Disney+ announced the casting of Shin Ye-eun, Lomon, Seo Ji-hoon, Chae Sang-woo, Lee Soo-min, and [Chung Su-bin](https://www.edgepedia.org/chung-su-bin) in September 2022 and slated the series for November.<sup>[13](https://www.dailian.co.kr/news/view/1150377)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[14](https://www.soompi.com/article/1544056wpp/shin-ye-eun-lomon-and-more-confirmed-to-star-in-upcoming-revenge-drama)</sup> It was presented as part of Disney+'s late-2022 Korean lineup alongside *Pink Lie*, *Connect*, *Casino*, and other originals.<sup>[15](https://www.fnnews.com/news/202210111437308081)</sup> Episodes were released weekly on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. Korea time, and each episode runs roughly 59 to 62 minutes.<sup>[16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucQDySa_Q_8)</sup> The series carries a 19+ rating in Korea, reflecting its violence and subject matter.<sup>[4](https://d.namu.moe/w/3%EC%9D%B8%EC%B9%AD%20%EB%B3%B5%EC%88%98)</sup>

## Reception

**Demand and ratings.** According to the data science platform Parrot Analytics, *Third Person Revenge* narrowly beat Netflix's *Squid Game* on the list of most-in-demand made-for-streaming shows in South Korea for the week of November 15 to 21, 2022, its second week on air, with demand measured at 15.37 times the average title.<sup>[17](https://www.contentasia.tv/eNewsletter/2022/ContentAsia_eNewsletter_28_Nov-11_Dec_2022.pdf)</sup> On IMDb the series holds a weighted rating of 7.6/10 from about 5,900 user votes, with individual episodes ranging from 7.5 to 8.8.<sup>[7](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23032890/ratings/)</sup>

**Awards.** Shin Ye-eun won Best Female Newcomer at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards for her performance as Ok Chan-mi.<sup>[2](https://www.disneyplus.com/ko-kr/browse/entity-88245478-73ca-41da-8836-7af72d261a91)</sup>

**Critical response.** Reviewers generally credited the cast's acting while criticizing the plotting. NME called it an intriguing teen thriller that threatened to overwhelm itself, and the [South China Morning Post](https://www.edgepedia.org/south-china-morning-post) wrote that the high school revenge drama needed to sharpen up.<sup>[18](https://www.nme.com/reviews/tv-reviews/revenge-of-others-kdrama-review-lomon-3345615)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[19](https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/k-drama/article/3199123/disney-k-drama-revenge-others-high-school-revenge-drama-starring-shin-ye-eun-and-lomon-needs-sharpen)</sup> A ZAPZEE review in December 2022 found that the story kept introducing new characters and clues without resolving them, leaving the narrative feeling ambiguous.<sup>[20](https://zapzee.net/2022/12/01/k-drama-review-revenge-of-others-ambiguous-revenge-story-1/)</sup> Within Disney+'s 2022 Korean slate, *Revenge of Others* was among the platform's nine Korean original series that year to rank within the top 100 in demand.<sup>[21](https://www.archivecenter.net/kaitArchive/attach/120000/126774/20250312101824287.pdf)</sup>

## Context in Korean streaming

The series arrived during a period when Korean streaming platforms were competing with school-set genre dramas: Netflix had *All of Us Are Dead*, which combined zombies with teenagers, and Wavve had the action series *Weak Hero Class 1*, while Disney+ positioned *Revenge of Others* as its revenge thriller in that space.<sup>[20](https://zapzee.net/2022/12/01/k-drama-review-revenge-of-others-ambiguous-revenge-story-1/)</sup> It remains a Disney+ exclusive title in Korea and is also available on Hulu in the United States.<sup>[22](https://dramap.mvpit.dev/ott/disney-plus/kr)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[23](https://www.hulu.com/series/revenge-of-others-eng-73b2c4da-f037-4733-8c41-20d503dedf64)</sup>
