Episode 20, though, brought moments of lightness and warmth.
I’m so obsessed I actually keep track of all my BLs—I’ve watched 105 Thai BLs, 68 Korean BLs, 37 Taiwanese BLs, 23 Japanese BLs, and 17 Chinese BLs.
Every country has its own unique style and charm, and I genuinely love them all in different ways. But if I had to pick a favourite, China would be my top choice—so it’s definitely worth exploring their BLs. The storytelling, cinematography, and emotional depth are on another level.
By the way, Revenged Love is fast-tracking all their episodes this week, so it’ll finish 2 weeks earlier. You should totally watch it—you won’t regret it!

When it comes to potential, Thailand 🇹🇭, South Korea 🇰🇷, and Taiwan 🇹🇼 simply can’t match China in certain areas. China dominates in cinematography, acting, storytelling, chemistry—and let’s not even start on their costume dramas and fight scenes. The scale, elegance, and intensity are just on another level.
Take The Untamed for example—it was heavily censored and still pulled in billions of views. Now imagine the impact of a high-quality, uncensored Chinese BL with the same level of production. The talent is already there—they just need the freedom to fully unleash it.
Here’s hoping that in the next 20+ years, a new generation of leadership in China 🇨🇳 will be more open and accepting, because when that happens… the world won’t be ready.

For me, it’s never about the sexuality of the drama—it’s about the plot, acting, and genre. For example, I love Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad just as much as I love Call Me By Your Name or Brokeback Mountain. The same goes for TV dramas—whether it’s The Glory (K-drama) or Heartstopper (BL), what matters is how well the story is told.
As for Revenged Love, yes, it’s one of the first Chinese BL to break through heavy censorship, but its success isn’t just about being “uncut” or having NC scenes. It’s because it has great acting, a strong plot, and genuine chemistry between the leads—things any good drama needs to succeed.

Secondly, I’m a 30-year-old guy from all the way in Australia, and most of my friends watch this too. Unless you have actual data or evidence to prove that the majority of viewers are underage teenage girls, it’s not fair to make that claim without solid proof.
And even if there are under-18 teenage girls watching, there’s nothing wrong with that either—good shows are for everyone to enjoy, regardless of age.
Like you mentioned, you’ve only watched 1 episode out of 24—that’s around 4% of the whole story. Maybe give it a couple more episodes before making a final judgment.
For me, it’s a masterpiece because of the amazing acting, well-paced and engaging plot (I was never bored for a second), and the incredible chemistry between the leads. The tension, emotion, and connection feel so real that you can’t help but get pulled in.
I’ve watched over 300+ BLs in the past 10 years, and I’m comfortable saying this is my favourite one—it ticks all the boxes for me. Sometimes, you just have to let a story unfold before deciding if it’s worth it.
She carried me for nine months, gave me life, and sacrificed so much for me.
If she were ever terminally ill, in her final days I would drop everything—even my business—just to be by her side.
I would feed her, just like she fed me when I was little.
I would care for her, just like she has cared for me all my life.
Because money can always be made again…
But a mother? You can never get her back. 💔
Which is why Wu Suo Wei’s mother breaks my heart.
She thought she was protecting him, but keeping her terminal illness a secret is its own kind of cruelty.
She even pressured Chi Cheng to hide it—
leaving him trapped, torn between honesty and her dying wish,
while his partner misunderstood and thought he was still running back to his ex.
The only way I can imagine her truly winning our hearts back
is in Episode 19 at the hospital—
she reaches out with trembling hands,
holding Chi Cheng in one hand and Wu Suo Wei in the other.
Through tears, she whispers:
“I accept you. I accept your love with Chi Cheng.
He is a good man with a good heart, unlike your ex, Yue Yue.
It’s okay if I never get grandkids,
because I will soon see your father in heaven.
All I want… is for you to be happy, my loving son.”
If that moment comes, it will break me completely…
and yet, it will heal everything too. 🥀

According to industry sources, the film has several scenes shot in Tianjin, and coincidentally, this coming September, Tianjin will host the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit – a major international event attended by many heads of state.
Along with that comes an extremely strict media censorship period, especially for film content featuring images related to areas where the event is taking place. Moreover, August and September also include major holidays such as August 15 (Victory over Japan Day) and September 3 (National Military Parade), so “laying low” is perfectly understandable.
That is why the production team decided to speed up and shorten the overall broadcast schedule – to wrap up early, avoiding sensitive timing and unnecessary troubles from the censorship process.
I was shocked too when I heard the news—and honestly, I got emotional knowing this masterpiece will end so soon. 💔
But let’s take a moment to look at the positives.
Firstly, instead of ending on 26th August, it will now wrap up on 12th August. That’s only 2 weeks ahead of schedule, not an entire month. And really, that’s not bad. It’s not like they fast track 10 episodes—just 5.
Secondly, I’d much rather finish this masterpiece in 5 days than live with the fear that the homophobic censorship in China could cancel it altogether. Remember that week when Revenged Love didn’t air, and we all panicked? I don’t ever want to feel that again.
So yes, it’s bittersweet—but once it’s finished, we can rewatch it as many times as we want, dive into the BTS clips, and keep discussing it here.
Because for me, this show will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter when it ends. 🥀
