Will trigger strong reactions ......
Due to censorship laws Revenged Love is not officially airing on mainland Chinese platforms. Produced by Vision Moments Media Ltd., a registered production company based in Singapore, they have managed to circumvent this restriction and I am so glad they did.
I was turned off by the implied brutality in episode 1, however, I continued and I will be ever grateful I did. The relationship between the two male leads is like a masterclass of acting. their use of body language, micro expressions and tonality gave masterful and subtle acting skills. I became totally invested in this production. I stalked the BTS clips waiting for the next episode. I became super fearful China would step in and ban the series, I was also concerned at the invasive Chinese fans who stalked the two stars.
There are scenes that broke me. Hats off to the director and the reinterpretation of the original drama and story-line. There are flaws, of course but the pace and immersive experience pushed me along so that they didn't detract from my immense appreciation of this drama. Some scenes obviously tampered with to get through censorship and too many issues for this short drama to make sense of.
All is well and the series finished on a fairly mild note after the emotional wringer I was put through. This has raised the bar in BL, no damn it in drama per se.
I wish these two actors heaps of success and I will watch anything that pairs them again as a love interest or not.
