ITS TIME TO LET GO, BUT...
Imagine your ex leaves you for a wealthy man, and you believe the two of them are mocking you for being poor. At first, you plan revenge. But then, something unexpected happens—you start falling for the very man you once saw as your rival.Revenged Love, also known as Counter Attack, is a Chinese BL drama adapted from Chai Jidan’s web novel.
The story mainly follows two couples. The first couple is Zi Yu as Wu Qi Qiong (also known as Wu Su Wei), a poor young man who is heartbroken after his ex-girlfriend leaves him for a wealthy heir. Angry and humiliated, he plans to take revenge by targeting her new man. That man is Chi Cheng, played by Tian Xu Ning—a rich, arrogant heir with a love for snakes, who is even forced into marriage with Wu Su Wei’s ex. Wu Su Wei originally sees him as the enemy, but as their interactions grow, he never expected that Chi Cheng would also develop feelings for him. What begins as a revenge plot slowly turns into an intense, complicated romance between two.
The second couple adds more sweetness to the drama. Zhan Xuan plays Guo Cheng Yu, Chi Cheng’s loyal best friend. While chasing after Wu Su Wei at a clinic, he crosses paths with Jiang Xiao Shuai, portrayed by Liu Xuan Cheng. Their chance meeting blossoms into another love story, giving the series a lighter and more romantic balance alongside the main couple’s tension.

One thing that really stood out to me is the OST. This is actually the first time I created a playlist on my YouTube Music just for a drama soundtrack. Every song feels meaningful and emotional, and I enjoy playing it every day. The music really captures both the tension and the softer moments of the story.

This is the first BL I finished this year and honestly it surprised me. I tried watching some Thai BLs but couldn’t complete them because they didn’t meet my standards, yet with Revenged Love I didn’t even hesitate. Normally I need to check clips first before committing, but this time I just pressed play without thinking twice. Some people called it cringe, but for me it wasn’t cringe at all, not even once, and I enjoyed every episode.
At first I thought it would be just another BL, short and rushed, maybe fun but nothing that would really stay with me. But Revenged Love proved me wrong. With 24 episodes, each over 40 minutes, it still managed to keep me watching until the very end, and the fact that I finished the whole thing in just 3 days shows how much it hooked me.
It wasn’t perfect of course. Some scenes felt choppy, the transitions were sudden, and sometimes it was obvious that parts had been cut, which pulled me out of the story when I really wanted to stay inside it.
Even so, I couldn’t stop watching. The characters, the chemistry, the emotions—they pulled me in again and again. When I reached the last episode and saw Chi Cheng’s parents finally accept them, I felt so warm inside, like everything had been worth it, but at the same time it felt too fast. I wanted more time with them, more moments of family, more happiness shared together. The ending left me smiling but also a little empty because I wasn’t ready to let them go.
Still, this drama made me laugh, ache, and care so much, and that’s why even with its flaws it gave me something truly special.
Overall Revenged Love may not be perfect, but it’s absolutely worth watching. It’s longer than most BLs, it carries real emotion, and it leaves a story that lingers even after it ends—and for me, I already miss them.

SHORT BUT OKAY
I would rate My Secret Vampire as “Okay,” which falls under my “Good” category. (My Own Ratings)The series immediately caught my attention in the first episode—it was engaging and had a promising start. However, as the story progressed, it began to lose its charm. Some scenes felt a bit cringeworthy, and the pacing was noticeably rushed. Given that the show only has eight episodes with a 15-minute runtime each, I didn’t expect much depth, but I still hoped for a stronger development.
Overall, it’s not a very memorable series. In terms of rewatch value, it might appeal to some viewers, but for me, it’s about a 50-50 chance.
I actually decided to watch it after seeing an intriguing TikTok edit, which raised my expectations. While it turned out to be a cute series, it just wasn’t quite my thing.

SHORT BUT MEANINGFUL
Short but meaningful — that’s how I’d describe this series "Hi By My Luck". It may only have a few episodes, but it left a soft, lasting feeling in me. Even though the actors are still rookies, they did such a great job portraying their characters. Their acting felt effortless, natural, and genuine — like they weren’t trying too hard. It never felt forced or cringey, and that’s what made me stay until the end.Keen as Er really stood out to me. He acted so naturally that it didn’t feel like acting at all. You can see the emotions in his eyes — simple yet sincere.
Sea as Mawin also did amazing. He’s calm, expressive, and has this natural charm that fits his character so well. There’s nothing more to say — he just did it right.
The supporting characters also added warmth to the story. Everyone did a good job; no one felt out of place. It’s something I always admire about Thai series — the way their acting feels so real and heartfelt.
To be honest, I didn’t watch the rest of MuteLuv’s episodes — I only watched this one because of SeaKeen. But even so, I’m glad I did, because their chemistry and performance made “Hi By My Luck” feel special to me.
Overall, “Hi By My Luck” might be short, but it’s worth watching. It’s one of those dramas that doesn’t need to try hard to make you feel something. It’s simple, honest, and comforting — and that’s what makes it special to me.
