Revenged Love is a Chinese drama that quickly gained popularity due to its bold plot and complex characters (based on the novel Counter Attack). It is not your typical light romance, but rather a story of desire, misunderstandings, and, as its name suggests, revenge.
Unlike many BL (Boys' Love) dramas, Revenged Love boasts good production quality that is noticeable in the urban cinematography, costume design, and a soundtrack that avoids typical clichés.
The plot moves quickly, offering constant twists and a tone that blends the chaotic humor of comedy with intense drama, keeping you hooked throughout its 24 episodes.
The protagonists, especially the enigmatic Chi Cheng (the heir obsessed with snakes), are charismatic and complex, making it easy to get invested in their messy relationship.
The script relies on many BL genre clichés, including exaggerated rivals, lack of communication, and highly melodramatic situations, but the relationship between Suowei and Chi Cheng is full of sexual and emotional tension.
Revenged Love is the ideal drama if you are looking for a passionate, dark, and drama-filled love story that steers clear of sweetness. However, if you prefer light dramas and characters with an "impeccable moral code," this might not be the drama you are looking for.
