Let me explain without spoiling the corpse count.

The show delivers justice — but justice in Revenge of Others isn’t rainbows and group hugs. Bad people face consequences. Secrets explode. The truth finally crawls into the light. Chan-mi gets answers. Soo-heon makes a choice that will leave you staring at your screen for a full minute. If your definition of “happy” is everyone lives happily ever after , you’ll be disappointed. Several characters are permanently broken. Others are gone. The final shot is poignant, not playful.

So, does it have a happy ending? The short answer is:

So here’s my honest review: Revenge of Others ends , leaning toward hopeful melancholy . If you need your thrillers tied with a happy bow, look elsewhere. But if you want a show that respects its own gritty world and gives you a finale that hurts and heals — one that answers “does revenge pay?” with a bloody, honest “sometimes” — then strap in. The last episode won’t make you cry tears of joy. But it might make you cry tears of something real .

However — and this is key — the ending is emotionally satisfying in a dark, realistic way. It doesn’t betray its own tone. There’s no last-minute amnesia cure or surprise picnic. Instead, you get closure. The kind where survivors exhale for the first time in 12 episodes, even if they’ll never be the same.
