A masterpiece that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

I have never in my life cried so much over a series as I did over Revenged Love — the acting, the storyline, everything. I’ve never felt this kind of pain in my stomach after watching a movie or series. Well, actually I have, but for completely different reasons. For example, the film Call Me by Your Name, which is about two boys, Elio and Oliver, who fall deeply in love over one summer in Italy, only to be torn apart. During and after that film, I cried for hours, but that was because of the heartbreaking events — which was partly the reason for my feelings during Revenged Love as well — but also because of how the film left me, as a viewer, with a gaping black hole and so many questions.

In just one film, these two characters fall deeply in love, are suddenly separated, and never end up together again. The final scene shows Oliver calling Elio’s parents to tell them about his new wife, while Elio sits alone, listening to the call and crying. That scene will never stop haunting me.

But the difference between Call Me by Your Name and Revenged Love is that it wasn’t the painful events that left me with this ache in my stomach — it was the beautiful moments. I have never in my life become this emotionally attached to a series. And the feeling that comes when the final episodes suddenly end is indescribable.
This was my very first time watching a chinese bl drama but definitely not the last.

All I can say is: if you haven’t seen this series yet, you have to — and if you have, watch it again. And tell your friends and family about it. Because this is a masterpiece that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
