I completely agree with you! 🙌

If communication instantly solved every problem, this series wouldn’t have 24 episodes—it would just be a standard 1‑episode romance, and honestly, pretty boring. 😆 Miscommunication and misunderstanding are exactly what make this show so addictive.

Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei’s entire journey is built on layered misunderstandings:

Chi Cheng believes his ex cheated with his best friend after 7+ years together—of course his trust is shattered.

Wu Suo Wei comes in with a secret agenda of revenge, hiding the truth in that diary—love and lies can’t coexist without consequences.

Even small things like Wang Shuo showing videos or Chi Cheng’s hesitation to give closure create ripples that blow up into heartbreaking moments.

And you’re so right about WSW’s mom. Her fear of leaving him alone and the pain of saying goodbye make her choose silence, even if it hurts him more later. People underestimate how much fear, trauma, and self‑preservation drive decisions.

These characters are messy, human, and flawed—and that’s what makes this series phenomenal. If everyone “just communicated,” we wouldn’t get this rollercoaster of pain, growth, and heart‑shattering beauty.

We all knew the breakup scene was coming, but when it finally hit… it shattered me. 💔
Both of them, tearing themselves apart, hurting so deeply—and yet, unable to stop.
After watching 300+ BLs, Revenged Love has taken the crown for the most heartbreaking scene I’ve ever witnessed.
My chest physically ached… it felt like watching two souls bleed in silence.

And now, the torture begins—six days until the next episode, but it will feel like six years.
This isn’t just waiting… this is pure, exquisite agony. 🥀

I dropped it after episode 1 so I don't know. Sorry

Chi Cheng owns my heart this season.
He may appear cold, cruel, untouchable—
But when it came to Wu Suo Wei’s mother, he became a quiet storm of tenderness.
He fed her, brought her gifts, stayed through the endless hospital nights,
and silently carried her burdens as if they were his own.

If I were her, I would be moved beyond tears.
Love like his is rare—
I would accept him as my son-in-law a thousand times over,
regardless of gender—far better than that gold-digger Yue Yue.

Thank you, everyone, for explaining—it makes sense to me now! 🙂

Yeah, but watching it that way doesn’t actually support the actors or the production team. Revenged Love should be watched either on Viki or through their official YouTube channel. The link you shared is illegal.

If we want better shows in the future, we need to support them legally.

It can also come down to Asian culture, which runs deep, even in more progressive countries.

This hits close to home for me… it reflects my real-life experience at the moment 😢
The fear, the pressure, the unspoken expectations — it’s all very real.

Sometimes, even when the world outside is ready to embrace you,
it’s the people closest to you that you’re most afraid of disappointing.

Great question — and I get where you’re coming from, but I think it’s deeper than just society.

Yes, Taiwan has legalised same-sex marriage and is generally more accepting than many other countries in Asia. But at the end of the day, it’s still rooted in Asian culture — where family expectations, shame, and generational values run deep.

I was born in Australia and grew up surrounded by Western culture. Australia also legalised same-sex marriage early on, we have vibrant LGBTQ+ communities, gay bars everywhere in Sydney and Melbourne — yet I’m still closeted in my 30s.

Why? Because of my Asian background and, more specifically, my parents.
They’re in their 80s, and even though they’ve spent most of their lives in Australia, their mindset is still very traditional. To them, being gay is something that would never be accepted, no matter the laws or the social changes.

So when you ask why Jun Xi doesn’t want to make the relationship public — I see him.
It’s not always about laws or society being “accepting.”
Sometimes it’s the fear of disappointing the people you love most.
Sometimes it’s about carrying years of unspoken pressure, expectations, and shame you didn’t ask for.

So yes — I think it’s personal.
He’s scared.
Just like I am.

A lot of shows air at 3am in my local time, so I usually just watch them the next day or add them to my calendar to catch up later in the week.

Most episodes are only around 25 minutes — you don’t have to watch them live when they air.
You can easily fit it in during a lunch break or whenever you’ve got a free moment over the next few days.

Episode 18 was one of my favourite episodes so far — the acting from all the leads was absolutely top notch.
However, there’s one scene I didn’t fully understand, and I haven’t read up to this part in the novel yet, so I’m a bit lost.

I can’t read Chinese, so can someone please explain what was going on during Guo Cheng Yu’s birthday scene?

All four were present — Chi Cheng, Guo Cheng Yu, Wang Shuo, and Wang Shuo’s brother. I’ve got a few questions:
1. Why did Wang Shuo’s brother throw water at Wang Shuo? Was it because he was following Chi Cheng while singing? Why was that such a big issue?
2. Did Chi Cheng get angry and storm off because of the two text messages he saw? What exactly did those texts say? I couldn’t read them.
3. Then Chi Cheng suddenly started hitting Wang Shuo’s brother — why didn’t Guo Cheng Yu try to break it up?
Instead, he joined in and helped hit Wang Shuo’s brother too. It’s literally his birthday, and they’re all fighting with zero communication.
4. And finally, Wu Suo Wei and Jiang Xiao Shuai showed up. I’m guessing this is another classic miscommunication?
Did Wu Suo Wei think Chi Cheng was defending his ex because the water was thrown on him — when in reality, it was those text messages that triggered the fight?

Can someone clear this up for me? It was chaotic, but I really want to understand who misunderstood what.

I can’t see Revenged Love on your Watch List, you’re not watching it ?

Here’s a poem because I’m bored 🥳

Hua Yong —
on the outside, soft-spoken and fragile,
like he could break with a single touch.

But underneath that quiet surface
lies the sharpest mind,
the most dangerous kind of strength —
the kind you never see coming.

He’s the one pulling strings in silence,
the true power behind every move.

And honestly?
I can’t wait for the scene where he ends getting the Alpha’s pregnant with his child.
That moment is going to change everything.

Really, I was so busy last week watching 24 airing BLs 🥳

I’ve got my essay and poems all backed up, but some people still don’t seem to get it.
Anyway, here’s the poem I wrote yesterday — hope you enjoy it.

At the 29‑minute mark in Episode 17, Wang Shuo asks Chi Cheng if he still loves him.
Chi Cheng doesn’t give a direct answer—he simply kicks Wang Shuo out the door.
Many viewers see this and wonder:
Why is Chi Cheng still thinking about his ex?
Why is he dating Wu Suo Wei if he’s still in love with Wang Shuo?

But it isn’t that simple.

Chi Cheng isn’t in love with his ex anymore—he’s haunted by betrayal and trauma.
His father took his beloved pet.
He believes his best friend betrayed him.
And now, he’s facing the crushing truth that Wu Suo Wei—someone he thought was pure and genuine—was secretly plotting against him.

He’s carrying scars, not love.
That’s why his walls are so high.
His journey isn’t about choosing between two people—it’s about whether he can learn to trust and love again.

Remember, he believes his ex cheated with his best friend, and they were together for over 7 years.
Even in real life, you can’t just erase someone you spent that long with, especially when betrayal is involved.
Wu Suo Wei has only been in his life for a few months—compare that to 7+ years of history, trust, and heartbreak.
It’s unrealistic to expect Chi Cheng to just “forget” overnight.

His struggle isn’t about wanting his ex back—
It’s about healing from deep wounds before he can truly let someone new in. 💔

Chi Cheng’s pain is exactly what makes this story so raw and human. 💔

You’re welcome! It’s a low-budget Chinese BL — only 4 episodes total, releasing every Thursday. Each one’s under 10 minutes.
Not sure if it’ll be your thing, though, but worth a try!

I actually finished Suntiny — IQIYI did a fast-track release last week, so episodes 8, 9, and 10 all dropped on the same day. I wrapped it up last Tuesday and gave it a 5/10.

Honestly, glad you dropped it — it was pretty boring.

Lost in Kyoto is free on YouTube, by the way!

If we’re being honest,
the real manipulation came from Wang Shuo.

A man so fragile in love,
that one kiss —
one sleep-muttered name —
was enough to break him.

So he broke everything else.
He crafted a lie,
cold and cruel,
pretending he slept with his partner’s best friend.

And then… silence.
Seven years of it.
He vanished without a word,
leaving behind shattered pieces
for others to hold.

Not just Chi Cheng.
But Guo Cheng Yu too —
left believing in a night that never truly happened,
left carrying guilt for a betrayal that wasn’t his.

All because Wang Shuo couldn’t handle the weight of a single moment.

To be honest, when I’m drunk, I kiss my friends all the time just for fun.
I sleep talk too — it means nothing.
But Wang Shuo took something small and twisted it into a weapon.

He was selfish.
But you know what? I’m actually glad Chai Ji Dan added his character.
Because it made the plot so messy, so full of jealousy and chaos —
and that’s exactly what makes this show so addictive.

I’ve loved all her novels — Addicted, Revenged Love (Falling in Love with a Rival), Stay with Me, Advanced Bravely — every single one!

I was so obsessed with Addicted, I read both novels nine times. 😭
Since Season 2 got banned, I’ve just been using my imagination to fill in the rest!

She’s only one year older than me, yet her imagination with boys is absolutely wild 😝

After Episode 18, I seriously want to ask —
where are all the people who dragged Chi Cheng after Episode 17? 😏

He looked his ex in the eye and said it plain:
“I don’t love you anymore.”
No hesitation. No confusion. No lingering feelings.
And yet the comments?
Flooded with accusations —
as if loving Wu Suo Wei was a betrayal,
as if breathing in the same room as his ex made him disloyal.

Let’s be real.
You all jumped to conclusions like it was a sport.
Dragged his name through the mud
because of one scene, one moment —
and now that the truth is staring you in the face?
Silence.

Chi Cheng owes no one an apology.
He was never the problem.
The problem was the people
who couldn’t wait to tear him down
before the next episode even aired.
