In REVENGE OF OTHERS, Ok Chan-mi (Shin Ye-eun) is joking on a video call with her twin brother (Kang Yul) while she’s on a field trip with her sports team at the seaside. He’s on the phone from his high school in Seoul. A pause in the call doesn’t alarm Ok Chan-mi, until the call is dropped entirely. After days without a response from her twin, Ok Chan-mi ventures up to Seoul to discover that he died of suicide, according to his schoolmates. She doesn’t believe it for a second and decides to investigate further, moving to Seoul and transferring to her late brother’s high school. Because he had been adopted by a very religious family, the twins no longer share a last name, providing her with anonymity while she looks into his death. Will she find the killer? Or will her curiosity uncover more than she’s expecting?
