Hm, If I recall correctly it was in the scene where CC goes to see his parents and his dad threatens him to find a girl within a year or he'll choose one.

For me, from what I interpreted of the timeline according to the scenes as they happened, by the time YY met CC, WSW was already 'transformed' and had been rejected by YY a second time outside the restaurant. So however long he took to get fit and get his shit together has no impact on YY meeting CC, it all happened before that. Also CC had already encountered WSW twice by the time YY encountered CC for the first time. I think maybe many people are enjoying the show so much they're glazing over the timeline of events?

I'd reckon WSW's transformation took a few months realistically.
Then there were probably a few weeks (maybe 2 or 3) between WSW getting shot down by YY again, and YY seeing CC for the first time, and then maybe another week or so before YY went after CC directly (since she hadn't been badly injured).

Following that, YY and WSW where more or less getting to know CC at the same time. This is what I understood of the timeline, does it sound less tight? It doesn't seem tight to me, seems reasonable.

Nothing to defend here, trying to defend something that's not real is redundant. Fiction is what it is, it exists to depict anything and everything (good, bad, ugly, fantasy, etc), how you perceive it and are affected by it says more about you than anything else. As for your comments, this YT video can help you understand my viewpoint about what you've said:

I guess I wasn't affected by the way the passage of time is being depicted in this show.

I just wanted to comment about YY moving on quickly (a few days, a week maybe), I reckon that's the point of her character, she's meant to be fickle, materialistic and shallow.

She was already with that guy -Wang- who hit WSW on the head before she even broke up with WSW, and if CC hadn't played chicken with them on the road and they'd been run off the road (Wang is paralyzed btw, not dead, CC's dad confirmed that ) she likely would have started pursuing CC even before breaking up with him. She doesn't need time to 'move on' from one dude to the next, it's all about them dolla' dolla' bills for her lol

It means that China can't censor it or take it down because while it was filmed in Mainland China with Mainland actors, its not distributed out of China, it's sold to international platforms and aired outside of the Mainland. The Chinese BL fans have to use VPNs to pirate or access this drama.

Oh noes, someone's aaaangy about the big bad characters being meanies. lol Another 🤡who doesn't have critical awareness skills, hence being unable to comprehend fiction properly. Enjoy angsting and stay pressed✌️😂

I'd rec it, I subscribed on YT, it's not expensive either. I'm glad I did, because the YT subs definitely capture what's being said with the tone of each scene more accurately.

Yep, it's not for the three mains, only Ziyu dubbed himself.

No problem and no worries! Hope you enjoy it at least 😁 and yep Guide and Dech are the side couple but imo they could easily have been the mains 🔥🔥🔥 they're so good together!

For those who are still uncertain of / or interested in the voice dubbing process and voice actors (including Zuyi), someone on Twitter posted a video shared by the Director of Revenged Love about the voice dubbing process.

Voice dubbing is common in Chinese dramas, they usually make their best effort to choose voices that match the characters (even if we think the original actors voices would be fine), it has a lot to do with pronunciation/accents and enunciation and emotional/character tone. That's how they roll ¯\\(ツ)/¯

Just a heads up to everyone who downloaded the show for rewatch and are looking for srt files of the subs, I've now watched with YT, Viki and Gaga subs and imo the YT subs are actually the best, maybe not expressly grammar wise, but accuracy wise to what the characters are saying.

Nope, he is dubbed by a voice actor, it's in the show's credits, only Zuyi dubbed himself, as mentioned.

The fact you call it bjyx is exactly a part of the overall problem that led to this issue of separation in the first place 😂The actors are NOT a ship, they're real people with their own personal lives. They're actors. The Untamed was their job. We should all celebrate The Untamed as a TV show, not RP shipping.

The plot itself is fantastic, like the book, it's layered with nuance and mystery and drama and the BL pairing's relationship development is one of a kind, that's why it's loved. Even though the budget and CGI at the time were not the best they could have been, the show still delivered so many beautiful scenes and outstanding memorable moments, even besides the BL aspect, it excels and sets a bar. And it IS BL, just censored (only forced by the law to call it 'bromance'). If you like BL it'll be a bonus feature, if you don't like BL, you can put on your no-homo goggles and convince yourself otherwise, either way the show is great and this drama's hold over viewers is a testament to that. ✌️

-rubs hands together in satisfaction - yes, yeeesssssss my precioussssssss (is clearly a game changer! We're winning.)

The 37.37 minute mark of episode 8 was already PEAK, but knowing from the bts that the closing moment of that scene was actually just the two actors being themselves with their bona fide chemistry working its magic just made it better.

I'm gonna end up with more than one 'scene that lives rent free in my head' from this series on my profile, since it's only up to ep 8 and I've already added one and intend to add 37.37 too. This show is really serving.

👍

"So this will do wonders for their careers" ~~ that's almost the entire reason why many actors do BL, not just in China, but other Asian countries too, they do it because it's a super quick boost to fame. Puts them on the 'map' almost overnight most times.

Hey thanks for sharing! Quick Q, how accurate are the subs? Are more accurate to what the characters are actually saying in Chinese than the current ones?

I take regular breaks from BL to watch other stuff, whether it's LGBTQ or anything else. After a while, with how generic most BLs are, I start to feel like my brain is bleeding out of my ears. Just this past Saturday I ignored all new BL updates and watched live concert (western) music on Youtube instead.

But Revenged Love has ALL my interest, I haven't been this invested in an Asian show since The Spirealm. If you're into censored BL (where the relationship development is great but never overly goes anywhere due to China's ban), then I'd recc The Spirealm. Hell I'd recc it anyway, it's fucking amazing and Xia Zhiguang is peak.

The voice actor for Chi Cheng is someone named 顺子 Shùn zǐ, it's in the series credits.
