Revenge of Others episode 12 brings a spectacular ending to the show as Chan-mi is finally able to discover who her brother’s real murderer is. However, the truth saddens her more than angering her as it is none other than the person whom she thought of as her friend.

With the disappearance of Jae-beom, the two have no choice but to wait for some news, during this time, Kwon Se-jin returns to spill the truth about his relationship with Park Won-seok.
He reveals that the two were in a relationship and O-sung caught the two kissing in the lab after which he took a picture of them and started to manipulate Won-seok. Later, Chan-mi finds out where Jae-beom is and makes her way to him.
The next day, Chan-mi stands on the deck of Jae-beom’s yacht with her gun pointing at him as she asks him why he killed her brother. Jae-beom reveals that he knew nothing about what had happened until recently when his memories started to return to him.
He reveals that there is another person inside him who was responsible for everything and asks her to kill him. However, the next moment he turns into his other self- Seok Jae-jin, who attacks Chan-mi and makes her unconcious.
Upon opening her eyes, Chan-mi then sees Jae-beom in front of her with her gun in his hand, pointing at her. He reveals that he is indeed Seok Jae-jin, Jae-beom’s twin brother who had died.
He reveals that it was O-sung who had manipulated him into killed Park Won-seok after he woke up in the hospital. Later, it was also him who had killed Ju Hyeokgeom after he followed Soo-heon that night. It was only because Ju Hyeokgeom had seen his face and thought of him as his assaulter that he had to kill him.
He did all this to protect Jae-beom and there was no other motive behind what he had done. He asks if Chan-mi can live knowing all this about Jae-beom and she tells him that she believes in her friend and his innocence. She asks him to leave Jae-beom alone and not mess with his mind.
Hearing that she still believes his brother, Jae-jin finally understands what he had been doing wrong and leaves. Jae-beom returns but the remorse makes him point the gun in his hand to his head, but before he is able to shoot himself, Chan-mi intervenes.
Chan-mi doesn’t let her friend die, and instead leaves him to the police who arrest him while apologize to her for not believing in her.
Elsewhere, Soo-heon gets the update from Chan-mi and sees his peace returning, until a message from Ji-hyun takes him to the terrace where O-sung awaits him with a tied up Ji-hyun. He found out about the tracker Soo-heon had asked Ji-hyun to hide in his bag and laughs at them for their trick.
He places then places a knife to her throat and tells Soo-heon to kneel, before coming forward to hit him. Soo-heon soon sees an opening and fights back, but this takes them to the edge of the terrace while the students loiter around campus downstairs.

Suddenly, O-sung’s foot slips which makes him fall down which shocks the students downstairs who now see Soo-heon looking down at them. Thinking that Soo-heon is the culprit they start badmouthing him while the ambulance arrives to take O-sung away.
Looking at the students opinion about Soo-heon, Min Seon-ha reveals that Soo-heon is the Hero who helped her take revenge and asks everyone to not portray him in a bad light. The news spread through school while the truth about O-sung comes out one after another.
They find out that he had gaslit Seok Jae-beom into killing Park Won-seok, had taken Ji-hyun to the roof and other deeds that he had committed. This shocks everyone resulting in none of them revealing Soo-heon’s presence on the roof on the day of the incident.
So-jung realises what has happened and chooses to ignore, bringing the case to an end.
The scene then shifts to their graduation which shows them all taking pictures, however, Soo-heon is seen not taking part in this as he chose to leave midway. The decision comes with the wish to live his life to the fullest while Chan-mi reveals that she had succeeded in getting into the marines.
As the two are seen leaving hand in hand, their story finally comes to an end.
Will there be a Revenge of Others Season 2?
The news of Revenge of Others season 2 has not been announced as of yet, however, that does not mean that the possibility of it is any low. With the popularity of the show, we can hope for its renewal, but what will the new season bring?
The shows main themes- revenge, thriller and high schoolers was followed and came to a proper end in season 1; so if the show is to be renewed then we can expect a new cast with a new revenge story that will also involve high schoolers.
So with a completely new story, we can expect a return, but if the makers decide to follow the story of the current cast then we can see some villains taking their revenge in the new season. O-sung and Jung-gyeong returning for revenge while Jae-beom would help stop them.
Either way, a season 2 would definitely excite us all and we would love for the show to return.
