The Count of Monte-Cristo: Great Revenge (Season 1)

"The Count of Monte-Cristo: Great Revenge" (2018) — watch online on iFILM — is a Japanese drama reworking Dumas' classic for modern-day Japan. Dean Fujioka plays Saimon Dan, a young man framed by three rivals and thrown into a foreign prison. Fifteen years pass.

He breaks out, builds a new identity and a fortune from scratch, and comes back. The three men who destroyed his life don't recognize him — and that's the whole point. Directed by Hiroshi Nishitani, the series keeps the source material's patience: every act of revenge is planned long in advance and lands with precision. For anyone who wondered what Dumas looks like filtered through a Tokyo corporate thriller. Stream "The Count of Monte-Cristo: Great Revenge" (2018) online on iFILM.
