List of series about revenge, justice, revenge-justice and solving mysteries (Warning: Spoilers)

If you're as vindictive as I am but still like a happy ending, these maybe for you. (Don't worry, I've never actively tried to ruin someone's life irl...yet)

Also, if you're like me, once you get hooked on one genre or type of series/movie, you'll probably want to watch more similar items.

So, whether you want to kick back with a relaxing series about revenge/murder or you want to take notes for your own revenge, here's a list of series about revenge/solving mysteries that I've watched recently:

1. Taxi Driver (2021-) starring Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin, Jang Hyuk-jin, Bae Yoo-ram

I mean, it's starring Lee Je-hoon. Need I say more? Ok fine. He's an ex-militant that had a loved one murdered. He groups together with like-minded people that seek revenge but for other people who are experiencing similar pain as they are. It's thrilling but also ridiculous, funny, goofy, and very satisfying. i.e. The good justice-seekers always win. I mean, what they're doing to get justice puts them in a gray area at best. But still better than the soulless that they go after.

2. Bulgasal: Immortal souls starring Lee Jin-wook, Kwon Nara, Lee Joon, Gong Seung-yeon, Jung Jin-young, Park Myung-shin, and Kim Woo-seok

I did a review for this once (with spoilers). I wouldn't say this is entirely about revenge per say but it's in the mix. Here's the review if you're interested: https://www.tumblr.com/nostalgiqueajamais/681321371629944832/bulgasal-on-netflix?source=share

3. The Untamed starring Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo

Based on the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, Wei Wuxian's spirit is summoned 16 years after his death to seek revenge for the summoner. On his quest, he unravels the common enemy that was responsible for his own demise. The theme starts with revenge but it's so much more than that. If you love slow-burn love and chemistry bursting through the screen without uttering a single word, this is for you.

4. Birth of a beauty starring Han Ye-seul, Joo Sang-wook, Jung Gyu-woon, Wang Ji-hye and Ha Jae-Sook

Sa Geum-ra, played by Ha Jae-Sook, is kindhearted and overweight (this is a plot point) housewife that's married to Jung Gyu-woon's character, Kang Joon. The latter is cheating on the former with Wang Ji-Hye's character. Long story short, she loses weight to win back her husband's affections but ends up seeking revenge because... find out for yourself. It's funny, ridiculous and goofy and the plot kept me at the edge of my seat. The series does drag a little during the last three or so episodes. The plot is mainly based on revenge, infidelity, and fat-shaming. As someone who grew up being dubbed "fat," "pig" etc. even when I wasn't and later when I eventually was, Sa Geum-ra's pain of feeling unlovable simply because of her size was something I related to greatly. Which leads me to my next recommendation:

5. Switched starring Kaya Kiyohara and Megumi Seki

Kaya Kiyohara is Ayume whose body gets switched with that of Megumi Seki's character. The latter is the "invisible" archetype while the former is the popular, pretty girl. This series explores an interesting perspective (mindset) that challenges that of Birth of a Beauty.

6. Cafe Minamdang

I loved the goofy satire elements of this series. And the ending was satifisfying but admittedly, sometimes the episodes had a tendency to drag the plot on and I had moments when my attention was elsewhere. But I still recommend it.

7. Girl from Nowhere starring Chicha "Kitty" Amatayakul as Nanno

Nanno seems to be an entity of some sort (think Eris, Goddess of Chaos) that infiltrates school after school after school while seeking "social justice." Nanno doesn't pick sides but it has a righteous tone "holding up the mirror to hypocrites." The overall theme isn't evident until about 3 episodes later. Kitty gives a truly enchanting performance as Nanno.

8. The Glory starring Song Hye-Kyo, Lim Ji-yeon

How could I possibly forget the Glory? But I did while writing this list. However, it is one of the best series I've watched. I've liked Lim Ji-Yeon since her movie Obsessed starring opposite Song Seung-Hyeon. She was so natural and convincing that as much as I liked Lim Ji-Yeon, I hated her character so much. Unpopular opinion: While I really like the actor Lee Do-hyun as well as his character, I feel like I could've done without the latter in the movie. His character was really sweet towards Song Hye-Kyo's Dong-eun and very supportive. Bf material, he accepted her with all her flaws. That's all a girl can ask for. However, I feel like his character had nothing to do with the main story and that I would have been fine if he weren't in it.

9. Celebrity

The revenge plotline comes much later. But each episode was so enticing and left me at the edge of my seat. However, they dragged the plotline in the later episodes and the ending was a bit disappointing. So this is on my recommendation list but with a grain of salt.

10. Flower of Evil

The last one is more or less about revenge. But it is about solving a mystery and clearing up one's name. This one made me hella confused and got me hooked. I really like the characters' chemistry. The ending could've been better but great series overall albeit very bittersweet.

ohhh what kind of fun plans do you have in store? my December is going well! however I realized I still haven't bought any presents and time is quickly running out on that front. may I help you is very cute! although it could benefit from having more of our leads being happy together and less of all the shennagins happening in the background making them sad :( another question for you....who are your favorite characters (all-time or of this year) and maybe a little bit about why you like them?

it’s been a lot of xmas related plans. so i had my work xmas party last friday, and i spent the weekend just recovering from that. and tomorrow, i’m flying to the eastern states to meet up with a few friends that i haven’t seen in years and to go for the dpr concert on saturday (which i am so excited for!!). and next week is xmas, and i’m on the same boat as you with presents. i’m hoping to squeeze in some time this weekend to do some last minute christmas shopping.

yesss, the leads are so cute together, but i feel like we barely had an episode of them being in the honeymoon stage before the whole brother thing was brought up. now it’s a little too heavy for them to go back to having cute scenes together until the mystery has been resolved.

ooooh i have so many characters to add to this list but i’ll narrow it to 10 (5 from this year and 5 for all time):

ko mi ho (big mouth) - i will forever be pissed off with how big mouth ended but my love for ko mi ho will prevail. i love that she stood for what she believed in and she was the heart and soul of the big mouse team.

do hae yi (cheer up) - i absolutely adore her cheerful personality and her determination towards her goals and her loved ones. and the shenanigans that she gets up to, comedy gold! 

park tae joon (love all play) - i’m a sucker for male leads with golden retriever energy. and this drama made me fall for chae jong hyup. 

choi joon woong (tomorrow) - partly because i’m biased towards sf9 members who act, but mostly because joon woong was the golden retriever type of character where his heart was always in the right place, but the execution of his plans wasn’t as intended.

nam han joon (cafe minamdang) - again, partly because of my bias towards seo in guk, but mostly because this man was equal parts smart and chaotic. seo in guk truly thrived in this role!

song ji won (age of youth 2) - this woman was pure chaos in human form but in the most lovable way. i loved that age of youth 2 really gave her character more depth and really delved into her past and the things that made her the way she was in season 1. 

eun ji soo (he is psychometric) - i feel like if i didn’t add ji soo to this list, i don’t have the right to have this url. to me, eun jisoo was the lighthouse for the psychometric team. she was the light in their dark lives, and she was this constant source of warmth, guidance and strength for the team. now that i think about it, she has a lot of similarities with ko mi ho - i clearly have a type haha

baek ho rang (live on) - i feel like live on was such an underrated drama. the thing i loved about baek ho rang, was that while she appeared very cold and unfeeling, she was someone who cared deeply about her loved one. but i feel like because of her trauma, she didn’t know how to open up to people again without that fear that she would be hurt again. 

kim eun hee (my unfamiliar family) - i feel like i related to eun hee a lot, which is kinda weird because i’m not the middle child. in a way, she is very much the diplomat of the family and she tries to keep the peace by acting carefree and upbeat. 

lee do hwa (extraordinary you) - three words: golden retriever boyfriend. he was so soft and lovable and sweet and he deserved the world! also his friendship with dan ho is one of my all time fave friendships!
