I watched it twice to write this review.

Let’s start by saying this is definitely not the best BL drama in terms of plot – it has plenty of flaws, like most productions. The series also shows toxic behaviors and doesn’t draw any consequences from them.

Chi Cheng is a walking red flag. Do I even need to explain why forcing Da Bao into intimacy is disgusting? Of course, they had to add the SA subplot to a dark romance. Da Bao also had his own personal issues, which made them a perfect, albeit twisted, match.

I also read the original Wattpad story, which was terrible, and the series really improved on it. They made the characters a bit less toxic – if I can even call it that.

Even though I’ve watched a lot of cringy BL dramas, this one wasn’t that bad. It actually made me laugh several times, which doesn’t happen often.

Personally, I didn’t like the subplot with the second couple, Cheng Yu and Xiao Shuai – I think it was unnecessary.

Yet somehow, it’s still addicting.

No BL series has ever made me so excited for the next episode while rewatching the previous ones multiple times.

I personally think Ziyu and Tian had the best chemistry I’ve ever seen in the BL world – not just as their characters, but also in real life. They acted their roles so well that it was incredibly easy to connect with their emotions. Every breakup in the series hit me as if it were real. Honestly, no other drama has ever done that to me the way Revenged Love did.

Regarding the plot, many people complain about the snakes, but to me, they added a unique touch and a dark atmosphere.

And the soundtrack is a total banger that really stuck with me.

I think Chinese BL dramas in general are very well done, despite there being so few of them due to censorship, and Revenged Love still delivered.
