Subpar posters aside, being a huge fan of revenge dramas, I am definitely looking forward to Get Revenge! More than a mere revenge drama, though, it’s being classified as a “social” revenge story — and that’s because it’s the story of a heroine going against the upper crust. Kim Sarang stars as a celebrity influencer who falls from her high perch in society after a fake scandal, and then seeks revenge for said scandal. Yoon Hyun-min plays our hero, and is described as the typical hotshot attorney character we all know so well. But, when his family is ruined, he too seeks revenge at all costs. TV Chosun’s dramas are a little bit all over the map, but their recent Wind and Cloud and Rain surprised both with production quality and ratings, so I have high hopes here. Very high hopes, actually, because who doesn’t love an underdog, whether that’s a cable channel, a cast, or a story of those fighting against powerful evil-doers?
