Eu amo as séries japonesas porque são sempre bem escritas e bem dirigidas. E essa não foi diferente. A série aborda a cultura tóxica no local de trabalho de maneira madura, destacando a dificuldade de romper com um ambiente de trabalho abusivo. Gostei da atuação dos atores principais ao retratarem todas as lutas emocionais dos seus personagens. É uma série fofa e envolvente que sem dúvida merecia mais alguns episódios.

A série me atraiu por se tratar de uma investigação sobre um estudante universitário desparecido. Mas logo após o primeiro episódio, entendi que o "mistério do desaparecimento" era o "menos importante". E apesar de todas as críticas negativas, amei cada segundo da série. Com certeza essa é uma série que não é para todos os gostos, pois é bem diferente daquilo que estamos acostumados ao retratar o lado mais sombrio e real da vida humana, portanto muito mais profunda do que se imagina. Após tantas séries de com finais de "contos de fada", de vez em quando precisamos ser chocados de volta à realidade e é isso que essa série faz. Porque se você imagina por um segundo que este mundo não existe ou não é real, você precisa rever seus conceitos de vida. Não é uma série perfeita, mas amei a ousadia de abordar tópicos que outras séries BL não abordam: diferenças de classe, dinâmica de poder, prostituição, saúde mental, drogas. A história destaca constantemente a disparidade socioeconômica, o que motiva os personagens a agirem de maneira perigosa, desesperada e desprezível. Além disso, ela mostra como aqueles que foram oprimidos podem se tornar opressores, perpetuando todo um ciclo de comportamentos tóxicos. A prostituição não é glamourizada. É uma profissão perigosa, em que acompanhantes são maltratados, explorados e desumanizados. Portanto, os personagens e o que eles representam são foco da história. Eles mostram sua verdadeira face, seus traumas, seus desejos. Todos temos um yin e um yang, um lado bom e um lado mau. Um lado pervertido e um lado "baunilha" e é preciso parar um segundo para entender o motivos deles se comportam desta maneira. Por fim, gosto da sua abertura em relação à sexualidade, porque muitas vezes esse parece ser um assunto tabu que as pessoas parecem ter medo ou não saber como abordar. Sexo é uma parte integrante da vida. Não existe sexo "normal", mas consentimento, limites e prática seguras.

O elenco, apesar de não ser estelar, é o ponto alto da série por terem tido a coragem de retratar personagens tão sombrios e torná-los tão humanos. O roteiro poderia ter sido melhor trabalhado. Espero que isso seja corrigido na S2, porque após um plot twist inimaginável, a série terminou com um cliffhanger que me deixou curiosa para descobrir o que vai acontecer.

I love stories about destined lovers who reincarnate and find each other in different lives, with their fates intertwined across time and space by the power of love. But the messy, underdeveloped plot made it harder for me to really connect with the story. There’s definitely room for improvement, though the highlight of the series is the chemistry between Gao Ming Yuan (Chen Shi) and Liu Qiong Yang (Yang You), who completely won me over with their sweetness. The ending didn’t surprise me, but it was disappointing since it hints at a second season that I’m not sure we’ll ever get.

I really didn’t expect to fall so hard for this series,let alone be so emotionally wrecked by it, but it hit me right in the heart. It was a full-on emotional rollercoaster. A small masterpiece. The last few episodes had me in tears.

I really appreciated the way Pei Jia’s character matured over time. His growth throughout the story felt so genuine. The story feels both fresh and uncomfortably close to reality, exposing the darker sides of the entertainment industry: the crushing weight of fame, loneliness, and the awful abuse young actors can suffer at the hands of predatory managers (trigger warning for sexual assault). It doesn’t shy away, and that’s what makes it powerful.

The chemistry between the main couple is off the charts—intense yet heart-meltingly sweet. The entire cast delivered such grounded, believable performances.

The directing style is gentle and intimate. Some might find the pace slow, but I thought it really suited the story.

Also, I was surprised to learn that Ning Yuan Yuan, one of the directors, also worked on Blue Canvas of Youthful Days, which makes total sense now. Both series share that same poetic tone and beautiful visual care and feel so artfully done.

And the fact they pulled this off in just 12 short episodes of under 25 minutes each is kind of amazing.

I usually avoid writing negative reviews about a series because I understand how much effort and dedication go into bringing it to life. This particular show had strong potential, but unfortunately, it wasn’t fully realized. It attempted to tackle several serious topics, yet did so in a superficial way, lacking the care and sensitivity such subjects demand. The characters were underdeveloped and missed the emotional depth needed to truly resonate. The actors showed occasional glimpses of personality, but the weak script ultimately undercut any chance of a genuine performance.

What I love about Min Jun is that he’s far from a perfect character. He’s insecure, introverted, overthinks everything, and has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions. Just like a moth drawn to a flame, he fell for Jin Hwan, his complete opposite. Jin Hwan is charismatic, confident, and effortlessly popular. And sure, five minutes of honest conversation could have cleared up the whole misunderstanding, but life isn’t a fairy tale. Relationships are messy. People are complicated. I really appreciated how the series tackled themes like personal growth, acceptance, and second chances in love. The entire cast delivered solid performances, and the leads have incredible natural chemistry. If the show had ended with the airport scene, I would have been happy, a somewhat open ending that leaves us wondering if they’d be able to make it work. But I also enjoyed the post-credit scenes. Min Jun feels lighter, happier, flashing more smiles, proof that they’ve matured and finally overcome their struggles.

Eu realmente fiquei surpresa com o quanto eu gostei da série. Talvez se tivesse mais episódios e estes fossem um pouquinho mais longos, a história teria sido perfeita. Amei a química entre Ohm e Leng, que apesar de ser um ator estreante me surpreendeu com sua atuação . Tenho certeza de que ele irá crescer muito como ator. Todo o restante do elenco está de parabéns. A história de amor de Men e Khanomjeen e Pim Pimpan como a vilã Yada me conquistaram. É uma série sobre a importância da família, dos amigos e da superação de traumas. Um dos pontos altos para mim foi que Q não superou seu trauma em um piscar de olhos como acontece em muitas séries, em que o personagem é cheio de traumas, mas no segundo seguinte já superou tudo e está pronto para viver a vida ao máximo. É uma série que vale a pena ser assistida. Com certeza é uma série que assistirei novamente. E por mais BL na dona Netflix ;)

Apesar dos comentários negativos, resolvi assistir a série por causa do ator Tae Darvid, que já conhecia de Triage. Se você não assistiu Triage, super recomendo. Mas voltando para Paint with love, para minha surpresa, amei a série. Phap é um espírito livre que desafia o status quo, fazendo com que ele entre em conflito com Maze, um empresário workaholic maníaco por controle. O choque de personalidade entre os dois é hilário e rende ótimos momentos, com suas conversas atrevidas e interações divertidas. Apesar de novo, Maze parece um velho turrão, mas com um coração doce e muito vulnerável. Adorei como eles levam a paciência um do outro ao limite. Adoro séries que têm esse tipo de interação entre os personagens. Amei que Tharn e Nueng sejam dois atores de BL que se apaixonam, mesmo a história deles sendo retratada muito superficialmente. Adoraria ver uma série sobre dois atores de BL que se apaixonam durante as gravações de uma série. Seria muito interessante, principalmente se o assunto fosse abordado de uma maneira mais profunda. Já a trama Maze/Nueng poderia ter sido melhor trabalhada. Maze se sente abandonado por Nueng, enquanto Nueng tenta agir como o irmão mais velho superprotetor, o que gera alguns conflitos desnecessários. O romance entre Kuea e Elle foi muito fofo! Como não existe lugar feio na Tailândia, as locações são belíssimas. Super recomendo.

I enjoyed this series from start to finish. It’s a cute rom-com with an interesting and fresh plotline. The whole cast delivered top-notch performances. The last episode was definitely the best of them all. I really liked the honest conversations between In and Thap’s dad, and Thap and his dad. And those post-credits scenes: that kiss definitely wasn’t in the script!

How do you even review a series that’s practically perfect?

Especially one packed with subtle metaphors and emotional layers? Honestly, I could talk about Revenged Love for hours. I’m obsessed with intense stories, complex characters, and plots that blend romance, drama, and a touch of eroticism. I especially love couples that break the mold, not the usual “cute and fluffy,” but raw, messy, and deeply provocative. And Revenged Love hit every single one of those marks.

It was so gripping, I found myself counting down the days to each new episode. A total emotional rollercoaster : I laughed, I cried (episode 19 had me in tears from start to finish), I screamed, I swooned. The show balanced chaos (which I adored) with moments of tenderness, drama, and sweetness, all in perfect measure.

It also features one of my favorite tropes: enemies to lovers. After being dumped and humiliated by his ex, Wu Suo Wei decides to get revenge by seducing her new boyfriend, Chi Cheng. What starts as a manipulative scheme quickly spirals into something deeper, more intense, and emotionally ambiguous.

They couldn't have chosen a more perfect cast to bring these complex, flawed, and emotionally ambiguous characters to life with so much authenticity. Because the highlight of the series are Wei Wei and Chi Cheng, with their tension-filled glances and layered dialogue constantly dancing between teasing and confession; Guo Cheng Yu and Jiang Xiao Shaui, were less explosive but equally intense. The chemistry between the two couples and between the four characters felt so real, so genuine, so believable, so charismatic. Zi Yu, in particular, was fenomenal. His facial expressions alone told entire stories. He could be sweet one moment, seductive the next, and heartbreakingly vulnerable right after.

Watching these characters grow emotionally, from revenge to real feelings, through a messy but meaningful healing process, was incredibly rewarding. I’m already looking forward to seeing these actors in future projects, together (hopefully!) or on their own.

The art direction was stunning. They used LGBTQIA+ colors in such a subtle, symbolic way, not just as decoration, but as emotional cues woven into the story. Whether it was the pride flag on Jiang Xiao Shaui’s clinic, the intimate scenes between Guo Cheng Yu and Jiang Xiao Shaui, or the way each color reflected a stage in the protagonists’ relationship, it felt like the show painted the flag into their emotions rather than just hanging it on a wall.

Visually, the series embraced a bold, urban aesthetic, with neon lighting, androgynous decor, and gender-fluid fashion, all reinforcing the characters’ identities and creating a space where emotional and sexual fluidity felt natural and unapologetic.

Huge thanks to the entire team for pouring their hearts into this project and giving us this little gem, despite all the challenges. I truly hope this marks a turning point for Chinese BL dramas toward more freedom, more depth, and more stories like this.

P.S. Whether intentional or not, I loved how Revenged Love gave a subtle nod to ABO Desire in its early episodes. Both series are part of a growing wave of Chinese BL dramas that dare to explore bold, emotionally intense themes and that fight to exist in spite of censorship.
