Not a masterpiece, but a heartfelt romance that stays with you.
I just finished watching Revenged Love and honestly, I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I truly believed in the love between the main characters. Their relationship was strong, touching, and convincing — that’s what kept me watching until the very end. The ending made me happy, and I really appreciated how deeply they cared for each other.
On the other hand, the story itself felt weak. I went into this series expecting more serious drama and angst, but instead, the overall tone was surprisingly light and even comedic at times. Because of that, the dramatic moments didn’t hit as hard as they should have. For example, the kidnapping scene felt more funny than tense. The only moment that truly broke my heart was the death of Wei Wei’s mother.
The biggest issue for me was the long stretch of misunderstandings that lasted almost five episodes. Instead of making me feel emotional, it only irritated me and distracted me from the story. I wanted to feel the pain of the characters, to cry and suffer with them, but instead I found myself fast-forwarding. The “revenge reveal” also deserved to be developed as its own strong dramatic arc, but it got buried under those endless misunderstandings.
That said, I still really enjoyed the series overall. The first episodes were fun, the romance development around episode 6 was great, and the last few episodes (21–24) were touching and sweet. The love story is what makes this series worth watching, even if the plot itself isn’t masterpiece-level.
For me, Revenged Love is not a perfect drama, but it’s still special because of the couple’s love. I didn't regret watching it.
