MDL: Khemjira 8.6, Revenged Love 8.5.
IMDb: Khemjira 8.0, Revenged Love 8.8.
Not trying to drag anyone, but the scoring gap between these two platforms is kinda wild. Hard to understand why RL’s rating is so low on MDL.

After the series finale, I hadn't logged into MDL for a long time. When I finally came back, I saw the same familiar faces in the comments section. It seems like everyone hasn't found a new alternative yet and is still active here.

This summer, the joy, laughter, tension, sweetness, anger, sadness, anticipation, confusion, addicted, and so many other complex emotions this series brought us were so real.
It’s been a long time since a show has made me so immersed in its emotional reality, resonating so deeply with the characters.
Despite its flaws,I still give this show a 10 score. The beautiful memories will never be erased, and the shortcomings will fade over time. Life is never perfect, and neither is this series—it’s as realistic as it gets. Thank you, RL, for leaving such a deep memory and recollection.

1. The NC scene before the 14th episode is enough to verify that this drama is a BL series, not a brotherhood, so there is no problem in promoting the drama as BL, and you can't spread rumors that the main creative team is falsely propaganda because the NC scene does not meet your needs, this is a BL not a GV;

2. This drama has broken through the boundaries of previous Chinese BL dramas. The reasonable proportion of NC characters is a deliberate decision made by the creative team. These false conspiracy theories can never be disproven. Those who make such claims must provide evidence. When making such unfounded speculations, please provide real evidence. Conspiracy theories without any actual evidence do not contribute to the viewing experience.

3. You need shows more respect for the actors. Although the show is being promoted internationally, the actors are still Chinese, and the core audience is still Chinese. The revenue from international platforms is tiny compared to the actual production cost. It's not enough to sustain the show or the team. That's why the creator likely planned to monetize further — through concerts, DVD sales, or other fan-driven events .which rely entirely on the Chinese market.

4. I can understand that some fans are dissatisfied with the editing results, but the results presented at this stage are very difficult and cannot be changed. If you really like this show, you can make suggestions and opinions for improvement, but spreading conspiracy theories actually harms the entire team;

1. If the NC scene was maliciously edited out, then there is no reason for the official BTS to release it; because it is equivalent to not being edited out;
2. There are enough NC scenes for this drama. The only regret is the lack of a passionate kiss after the breakup and reconciliation. Although there is no such kiss, it does not affect the viewing experience.
3. If reducing NC scenes can achieve the effect of protecting the actors' subsequent development, then I would rather have no NC scenes in the entire drama;
4. Compared to the NC scenes, I personally feel that the sweet scenes such as the fireworks scene, the bathtub scene, and CC helping WSW block the sun are far better than the boring NC scenes;

Regarding the grave-visiting scene released by BTS, it was probably not intended to be included in the feature film. There was no camera angle shown on the scene, and the ending was announced at the end. This can be regarded as an easter egg or a special episode. In fact, it just wants to tell us that in the parallel world, where we can't see, they will live well.

Do not spread unverified rumors. There is no evidence to prove the authenticity of the information. This is unfair to the hard work of the entire crew. The so-called deletion of intimate scenes makes no sense at all because the official BTS has fully broadcast more open intimate content.

Some people are full of conspiracy theories, complaints, and dissatisfaction, and they really ruin the happy viewing experience. There is no perfect drama in the world. It is good enough to be able to enjoy the current drama. I don’t know why these people are always dissatisfied.

Maybe you can watch Stay with me 2023, The script for the show is based on Addicted.

As the series concluded, IMDB's rating rose from 9.0 to 9.1, while DML's rating dropped from 8.7 to 8.6;
I did a quick scan of the low-scoring reviews , and found that some of the low-scoring reviewers were very generous in giving high scores to dramas in certain language types (Like Korean Drama, THAI Drama), but were very stingy in giving low scores to Chinese dramas. which is unfair;

The reason CC said it is because of his love for WSW, so much so that he hates everyone who hurts WSW；Even the man is WSW himself, the one who compromised and sacrificed himself for him;

I hate you for not asking for anyone for me, and shouldering our future alone.
I hate you for loving me more than you love yourself.
I hate you for me, you are no longer stingy and calculating, and you have exhausted your family's wealth.
I hate that you handed over all your private money and sold the old house. without keeping a lifeline for yourself.
I hate that you are thin and didn't take good care of yourself.
I hate that you obviously want to cry at a time like this, and you pretend to talk about our pension money and the future easily.
I hate you. When I asked before if you missed me, you said telling the truth always burn the tongue. but now you say you miss me.
Actually, it's not that I hate you, I just can’t bear to see you sadness.

The shock of ”I hate you” in that moment was far greater than “I love you”

Compared to the disappointment of some people in the comment area about the recent episodes, I personally prefer the rhythm of the recent episodes. After experiencing so many hardships, the two of them were finally able to enjoy a peaceful couple time.

Though there aren’t many NC scenes, their love feels even deeper, marked by honest communication and openness.

It's like a married couple who have been together for many years, WSW is more attached to CC, and CC is more caring and tender towards WSW.

CC becomes WSW's only reliance in the world, and WSW becomes CC's only weakness. The love revealed in the details becomes even more touching, sweet, and joyful.

Quite the opposite, I think the two episodes about WSW’s mother’s death were the most emotionally intense part of the whole series.
If they hadn’t aired them one after another, I don’t know when I’d have gotten over it.

Amusingly, in Chinese, “5208” sounds like “I love your dad.”
In the original novel, JXS playfully translated it that way, which made CC think WSW had fallen for his father.
CC never doubted WSW’s charm for a second — in his jealous mind, the whole world was scheming to steal his DABAO.
It even drove him to shave DABAO’s head, just to stop him from attracting admirers wherever he went.

Is it possible that CC’s desire for WSW came from the most primal hunger of WSW'S body ?
From his irresistible cuteness, those big, glittering eyes, those slender arms and legs.
WSW only had to breathe, and CC felt seduced.

In the original novel, the scene where WSW escapes from CC’s father is quite amusing, but the drama adaptation likely altered it and couldn’t fully capture the humor.

After WSW got away, CC couldn’t find him and grew anxious. Knowing WSW’s a total gossip junkie and loves to rubberneck, CC paid a homeless man 20,000 yuan to naked and run around in circles. Sure enough, WSW went to check out the commotion — and that’s how CC catch him finally.

As XS’s true friend, WSW isn’t simply “watching from the sidelines” or “keeping a respectful distance” — he genuinely hopes that XS and CGY can take the next step and become a real couple.

Remaining in a prolonged state of ambiguity or emotional repression would only keep XS trapped in feelings of insecurity and past trauma, which isn’t conducive to building a stable relationship.

WSW knows that if XS has to rely solely on himself to slowly heal, it might take a very long time — perhaps he may never fully move on. That’s why WSW&CC hopes that a solid and intimate relationship could help XS finally break free from the past.

Given this, WSW wouldn’t see CGY’s attempts to move things forward with XS as inappropriate — on the contrary, he approve and support it, because he believes it would ultimately be good for XS.

My perspective is as follows:

CC doesn't care about the truth behind YY — the past is irrelevant to him; What important for him is the present. In the old house, when WSW broke down in tears and begged him not to leave, CC had already forgiven him. He absolutely couldn't bear to see WSW cry in front of him. What he needed was just for WSW speak up to him.

Everything WSW did before was to force CC to choose between him and WS — and in the end, CC chose him. After his mother passed away, CC took meticulous care of him for a long time, and WSW knew it clearly. He’s not someone good at expressing love with words, but he will prove his love for CC through actions — and that will be powerfully shown in the following episodes.

Because WS saw the funeral wreath sent by CC — the ribbon read, “Your son, CC.”
At that time, CC still hadn't reconciled with WSW, yet he still saw Wu's mother as his own.
