love it so far!
loving that it's not censored! usually I finish a drama before writing a review but tbh so far it's a 10/10 from me, wish I could already binge it completely but trying to be patient even if it's though lmaosome might not like how assertive the top is, me too in a few scenes, that's up to everyone else though. personally I can handle this better than the mama/papa thing in pitbabe
some of the acting is a bit over the top but honestly that's not a big issue, I still really enjoy this blog and love especially that they added kisses! I'm excited for the upcoming episodes, if nothing ruins this within the drama itself, it could easily become one of my favorites!

THIS OFFICIALLY BECOMES THE BEST BL THIS YEAR!
It's incredible how good this series is, it truly deserves the amount of popularity it's gotten. The narrative caught my attention from the beginning, I swear, there isn't a single boring episode, 40 minutes feel like 10 minutes, and the soundtrack is perfect, Ziyu's voice is beautiful. And not to mention the visuals of the series and the actors themselves, a total gem. The actors nailed the characters, the way Chai Ji Dan chose the perfect cast! I adore her, she always gets it right! 😮💨 I'm seriously obsessed with the series at this point. I'm telling everyone, know watch and appreciate this true BL series.Anyway... I love you Tian Xuning and Ziyu, thank you for appearing in my life. Lit, there is nothing more real than Revenged Love World Domination💗

plot of a play
The plot is very attractive and the leading actor is very good.At the beginning of the story, Wu said that after breaking up with his girlfriend, he found another protagonist, Chi Cheng, with his girlfriend, and failed in several ventures, thinking that Chi Cheng did it on purpose. Although this was a misunderstanding, it was really interesting.In order to get back at his ex-girlfriend and Chi Cheng, Wu Weiwei actually thought of seducing Chi Cheng. Although this idea is bizarre, people can't help but watch it.Was this review helpful to you?
A Fresh, Twisty Romance with Stellar Chemistry and Big Heart
I’ve been binge-watching RL these days, and wow, it’s such a pleasant surprise! The story’s super bold and fresh, told from a really unique angle. That whole “going after your rival’s boyfriend” setup is so new and catchy—revenge mixed with romance, and the plot’s full of twists that keep you glued to the screen the whole time.The production’s top-notch too: the visuals look great, the music fits the mood perfectly, and they’ve nailed all the little details. The actors kill it, especially Ziyu and Tian Xuning—they really make their characters feel real. Every look and expression has so much depth, and their chemistry? Off the charts! Their scenes together had me smiling like a total sap the whole time.
It’s not just some regular romance show, either. It talks about love, growing up, and figuring out who you are, which makes you think. Seriously, totally recommend it to everyone!

Not lovewatching not hatewatching but a third other thing: watching to snark about it on feeds
I have good news and I have bad news. Bad news is I read about 41% of this book, so I am 100% making half of this review about the book! I'm sorry; this is a double review and a character analysis to boot! Sorry! The good news is the book was so bad, it made me appreciate the show more! lolSo I finished this show, and despite the potato quality, I am once again here to proclaim that Chinese BLs just hit different! And I say this, feeling like this show was trying to imitate the mainstream Thai BL style. It was still better! It's like China's curse: They are the perfect people to make BLs! (What's the joke? Born to produce BLs, forced to follow regulations)
As you may have noticed, I gave this show a 7.5, which must stand out in the sea of 8s and 9s and 10s this show is racking up but I want you to know that this is amazing. I was gonna give this show a 6 but it managed to make me want to raise the rating to a 7.5 and personally I think it's a great achievement because I physically could not give it a higher rating. It's not even the low budget or quality, it's that the cringe-factor of this show was too high for me to enjoy it any more than a 7.5! I had so many moments of secondhand embarrassment when I had to stop and walk around to stop the queasiness. I can't give this any higher a rating. Some of the dialogue was just too embarrassing and weird...who talks like that?!
But it's not the show's fault entirely; a lot of that weird stuff comes straight out of the book, which is, to be honest, too bad to have been adapted. Like, who looked at that mess and thought "hmmm, this is gonna be the most successful Chinese BL of ALL time! We HAVE to adapt this!!!" A genius person to see the potential in that mess but like...I am sure there were better options!
You see, the problem with this show/book is not even the explicit parts or the horniness or the romanticization of red flags...the worst thing about this book is the fundamental misunderstanding about human sexuality AND anatomy! Miss Author did NOT research being a gay before writing this, and it shows. Serious talk: This story shows queerness in a predatory, perverted manner, and I don't mean that they do horny stuff, oh, how dare they! It's how the gay characters impose their sexuality on others that was insulting and insensitive. There is basically no gay character who isn't shown in some predatory manner here, and that made me uncomfortable. I wish the show had taken the liberty of changing all of that and also fixing the truly embarrassing goofs they spew as facts in the big year of 2025, but unfortunately, the show has all of that mess in it. Sometimes loyalty to source material is worse (NOT YOU, FENNELL! YOU GO TO JAIL FOR DOING *THAT* TO WUTHERING HEIGHTS!) Here, the show could have been less similar to the book.
They did try, to their credit. Characters like Guo Cheng Yu and Jiang Xiao Shuai are whitewashed a lot. Our resident bad boys are not just bad boys in the book. They are just bad! lol! Like, sure! Show!Chi Cheng is a bad enemy to have; you are screwed for sure if he hates you! But as far as being a lover goes, if he really loves you, you are so lucky! He is gonna break his heart every time you cry! That's sweet! I mean the book had that too but the other stuff was just too much! Because, in the book, it's implied that Chi Cheng is into extreme sadism. The show doesn't go to the extremes that the book goes to demonstrate this. I'm really glad because I feel like maybe Miss Author also didn't know enough about BDSM to use it correctly and just used it as an edgy trait to show how dangerous Chi Cheng is. 'Cause what she described wasn't sadism, it was attempted murder. I'm glad Chi Cheng is just a red flag in the show!
But really. The heteronormative labeling of gay relationships, the misunderstandings of how intimate relationships work or what queerness even means...just... it was a bit bothersome. So know that sexuality is a spectrum. Bisexuality exists. There are no inherent positions in a same sex relationship, and people switch. You have to prepare for intimate relationships in advance; the care is necessary and detailed and very important, and Jiang Xiao Shuai really should have told Wu Suo Wei that no straight man would have even come up with the plot to seduce a love rival for revenge to begin with!!!!
There's also just so many silly bits in the story. I lost count of how many times I was choking on nervous laughter while watching the show. All at inappropriate times! None of this was the show's fault. 90% of these scenes were straight from the book. This is why I raised the rating, btw. I can't be mad at a show that was so loyal to the source material and did such a good job of bringing it all to life despite budget restrictions and the Chinese censorship laws. They worked hard! And there were certain elements that I liked. The overall plot works even if the details make no sense. And the emotional investment is enough to keep you guessing and binging, and by the time we reach the emotional climax of the show, my heart hurt for these kids. So kudos to them for achieving maximum investment in the story with barely any flashy story tactics.
The acting...I didn't love the acting. Someone recently said this, and it has since ruined about 70% of the shows I watch. They said: "You can tell they're acting"...WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME AWARE OF THIS?! It's like when someone makes you aware of your breathing and then you spend 20 minutes being extra cautious of your breathing and feeling like you're choking (I'm sorry.) So now, every time I watch a show, I'm like "hmmm, that's acting" ugh. Well, I got that feeling a lot and not just that but the "omg, I'm in a BL, what am I doing with my career?!" look in some of their eyes throughout the show was killing me! Like, this could have ruined so many careers, so fair enough! But then, when you know all of this, and that thought is in your head too, the whole viewing experience is tainted. I was both aware that these are all actors, and that made me aware of just how dangerous this project is, and that I couldn't believe we were getting this show in 2025 from China! So a lot was going through my mind. I don't think they're bad actors. I just think they are still far from hitting their peak, and the director maybe demanded a theatrical acting style from them and some of them had to stick to some pet peeves to make it through. That said, you can never go wrong with hiring a hot 97-line guy as the hot guy in your show and this show did it twice in a row...game acknowledged *tips hat*
I loved the music! lol! I think Cdramas should use public domain music more often. They matched the mood of the scenes so well and I have only good memories of the music in the background. The production is visibly not very high quality or expensive but I think they blew it all on getting expensive sets for the rich people's homes and the snakes and that's a good place to put the money in. because they otherwise had no money left for other stuff like prison sets, extras in the background, clothes (this is good because they had to stick to clear styles for each character and have repeat outfits which added realism), music...like basically, everything was put together with spit and while sometimes that made stuff goofy and unserious, overall I think it worked in favor of the show.
I might actually rewatch some scenes! lol!
Negatives: As for the negative points of this show: TOO MANY SNAKES! The ick was real and there, and I had to cover the screen so many times, yikes! If you are really scared and disgusted by snakes like me, RIP! It's hard to get through those scenes. Shoutout to Vinegar though! That was one tolerable snake!
I explained the rest above, but you know, someone said, "all BLs are toxic because men are incapable of healthy relationships and BLs have two men" and... like...okay, harsh but... (yes, not aLl mEN, I know.)yikes...
Overall: This is mandatory BL viewing now. Like, this is too iconic to avoid! The show has issues but don't kill the messenger. Miss Author just didn't know anything, and the production team ran with it. It's worth watching for the makeout sessions if for nothing else! The hypernevtialtion of knowing they made this in Mainland China gives you enough adrenaline rush to make it through the whole thing in one amnesiac binge-sitting! What's not to like?!

The pain of finishing this series is insufferable.
Revenged love literally took my heart out, played with it, stretched it out, tugged it and set it aside!10/12/2025 (5:40 PM) I just finished watching revenged love and guys my heart is aching so baaad, i need to go to Xiao Shuai's clinic HUHU.
To start off, I want to talk about that ending. Why would they leave me like that. Why would they leave me when I'm miserable knowing that it's the last episode. Especially, when the time stamp is almost reaching it's end. Why would they leave me after letting me know what Chi Cheng went through just to look for Wu Suo Wei's family tree. Not to mention Wu Sou Wei's effort and devotion when Chi Cheng is detained.
And GUYS!! that freaking end credits!!! That literally broke me. Zhan Xuan's (Guo Cheng Yue) angelic voice while the behind-the-scene photos are rolling. I'M SOBBING!! especially when it showed the pics from earlier eps. The one where it's raining, and Wu Suo Wei is pushing the tricycle as Chi Cheng got out the car to help him. Guys help me get out of this misery!!
They literally made us walk with them in different stages of their lives just to leave us at the end. I have the similar feeling when i first watched A Love So Beautiful back in 2017. That feeling of leaving you staring at the ceiling of your room as tears roll down from your eyes, while your lips form into a silly smile after finishing the drama.
But revenged love is a bit different, because I would do anything just to experience the emotions I felt while watching each episode for the first time again! I will surely miss them, SO DAMN MUCH. And I hope nothing but great things and wonderful career for the actors and for the people involve in creating this masterpiece of a series. I truly believe the statement I've read, that Revenged Love will change the standard for all BL dramas! Thank you once again.

RL gives me so much hope and excitement for the future of C-BL
I'm so happy to be alive to witness such greatness from the CHINESE!!! BL scene. We literally used to pray for times like this and those times seem to finally be upon us.I'm just here thinking, if we're already getting this level of quality from China in the grand year of 2025, just what more greatness awaits us in the future? My fellow C-BL enthusiasts, 好好活着 keep on living!!
To bring this review back to a sense of normalcy, this was such a great series. Acting was great, no cringeyness, despite the low budget the quality did not take a hit. The plot and pacing was great, the romance development, the couple's struggles, loyal and tightknit friendships, navigating tough family dynamics and situations, all these plotlines were written with such detail I didn't have a chance to be bored. Romance wise, Wei Wei and Chi Cheng were so intimate, not just with kisses/NC scenes but also through their body language in general. I just loved sooo much how you could see Wei Wei, the self proclaimed "straight" man, slowly come to love CC and open up more and more to him physically. It was beautiful to watch.
There were apparently a ton of intimate scenes that ended up being cut from the series which I was really sad to hear about, and you can feel this a bit from the ending which comes across a bit rushed and not exactly matching the personalities of our MCs so I was a bit dissapointed with that, but I'm just glad we at least got a lot of intimacy from early on in the series to tide us through.
Here's to a future where Chinese BL is completely censor free!!
Overall, a great series for any BL fan to watch. Highly recommend.
Side note, is it just me or does the OST, which is extremely good btw, remind anyone of Adele's, 'Make You Feel My Love'? I'm guessing this OST samples that song? Cos I swear i thought I was just listening to the Chinese translated version at first. Kudos to the 2nd ML actor, I didn't realize he was the singer and he sounds so good!

Wow! Just Wow! I'm amazed!!! A BL you cannot afford to miss out on!!
This is honestly one of the best BL series I have ever watched. The chemistry between both couples is on fire and the main leads are so hot together, they have me glued to my screen every Monday and Tuesday! I'm obsessed with them!! The story is great and the comedy is also awesome! This is a series that will keep you coming back for more!!! Love it!!Was this review helpful to you?
Best of the Best!!! New Obsession.
When I decided to watch this, I did not know it was going to be the start of my new obsession. This is a BL that I will probably rewatch over and over again. I love everything about it! This is the first time I'm addicted to a BL like this!!! The characters are great, the story is simple yet catchy, the chemistry is literally sizzling like hot oil and as a bonus, the actors are such eye candies. You won't regret watching this.Was this review helpful to you?

Did we all watch the same thing???like hello??
TOXIC & PROBLEMATIC STUFF PLAYED OFF AS COMEDY!! 100% agree with the negative reviews.I'm not saying chinese-BLs we've got so far are masterpieces, but they were worth it (even with censorship). Even the bad ones had a minimum standard. This new kind of Chinese dramas that surpass mainland release are turning out to be so crappy.
Cringe acting, logic-less plot, sub-par editing, bad direction & shitty screenplay-- i would've let it all slide, because it was entertaining upto a point, but the ML is toooo shitty, not just to the MC but others as well. Like he literally threatens to r*pe the MC's friend & it's played off as comedy. At first I thought it was a translation mistake, but no. He can't bare to force himself on the MC but other people are free real estate, like what the f*ck? Why are we normalising/romanticising this shit? This is why BL's get such a bad rep. Everyone would be up in arms if this was a mlw drama.
The MC is annoying as hell too. I actually like the second couple more, but don't know how they turn out, because I dropped it.
I once again urge the audience to stop praising less than mediocre content & demand the makers for quality.
