Over-the-top storyline wasn’t my thing
If the plot sounds a little silly and unrealistic, that’s because it is. The synopsis looks like what you’d get if a grade B movie got yanked straight out of wattpad, but the actual execution is much better than it sounds.
Chicheng, a spoiled heir who uses his father’s wealth to paper over his character flaws, is not a particularly likeable character. He's a deeply flawed character but he will gradually grow on you. His character arc doesn’t excuse his mercurial and toxic tendencies, but at least it reveals deeper layers to his behaviour.
The chemistry between Wei and Chicheng is decent, and I suspect this is why this BL has taken global audiences by storm. But personally, Revenged Love wasn’t really my thing, probably because of the storytelling style.
Their relationship is fraught with silly schemes that made no sense, dramatic misunderstandings between the male lead, and heated conflicts that got way out of hand. This was particularly frustrating because everything could have been solved if the parties involved actually talked to one another. I guess the series needs some drama to keep it moving?
Actually, I would actually watch an entire series involving Chicheng and Guochengyu’s bromance. Very SkyNani vibes.
