8.8 - that's insane ... is there any drama on MDL with such a high rating?big round of applause ... they all totally…
Reset, the highest-rated BLs on MDL are tied with Jack and Joker, with Revenged Love just behind at 8.7. Considering there are over 700+ BLs listed on MDL, ranking this high is no small feat.
Revenged Love even reached a 9/10 rating a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately dropped due to a wave of fake reviews.
From Episode 1, I was hooked. Time travel, mystery, and heartbreak all wrapped in one stunning BL. Pond and Peterpanās chemistry is unreal ā from the tender beach kiss to the unforgettable pool scene š, every moment was electric. The 1999 vibes, the emotional twists, the love scenes, the finale⦠perfection.
Iāll miss Mondays with Reset ā this series will stay with me for a long time.
Just finished this amazing series and I have two questions: 1. Thiuthit as the mastermind ā Throughout the series, he kept calling Thada his ābrother,ā but in the end, he said, āWhy donāt you love me, but Armin instead?ā If theyāre not biological brothersāwhether theyāre stepbrothers or brothers from different mothersāwas the āloveā Thiuthit was referring to meant as brotherly love or romantic love?
2. What happened to Ren? ā His fate was never fully clear to me by the end. Can anyone clarify these points?
I started watching it, but I disliked the whole vibe of this drama. Han Tuo is super pushy and looks as stiff…
I get where youāre coming from, but I actually see it differently. For me, the love interest doesnāt feel ātoo pushy,ā because the context and body language really matter.
Yes, Tuo is the one initiating most of the kisses, but if you really watch closely, Jun Xi never shows signs of being uncomfortable. He hesitates at firstāprobably out of surprise, since itās his best friend making a moveābut he doesnāt push Tuo away. In fact, he either leans in or reciprocates after the initial shock. Thatās not āforcedā; thatās natural progression from surprise to acceptance.
Romanceāespecially in BLāoften uses nonverbal consent as part of the tension and storytelling. If every kiss had to be preceded by a verbal āCan I kiss you?ā like a legal contract, the emotional impact and chemistry would disappear. Itās the same in most romance dramas, BL or not. For example:
In 2gether the Series, Sarawat leaned in for his first kiss with Tine without asking, and it became iconic.
In Semantic Error, Jae Young kissed Sang Woo unexpectedly, but it was clear Sang Woo wasnāt traumatizedāhe was just flustered.
Revenged Love (Chinese BL) ā Youāre watching it right now. Chi Cheng has kissed and initiated intimacy with Wu Suo Wei several times. Did he ever ask first? Nope. Mutual signals, yes.
Even in Western series like Bridgerton or The Vampire Diaries, passionate kisses almost never start with a verbal requestāthey rely on mutual energy.
To me, the kisses in this series feel intentional, not forced. Tuo initiates, but Jun Xi acceptsāthatās mutual, nonverbal consent. I think itās a realistic portrayal of how romance often unfolds naturally.
š¹ Episode 18 ā The Inevitable Heartbreak š¹
Tonight, the storm finally arrives. Episode 18 carries the scent of heartbreakā inevitable, heavy, like a glass shattering in slow motion.
Chi Chengās heart⦠shattered into a thousand pieces. š
Think about his painā A father who ripped away his beloved pet. A love he thought unbreakable, seven years of trustā all tainted by the vision of Wang Shuo entwined with his best friend. Then comes Yue Yue, gilded in wealth, and Wu Suo Wei, the one bright star, pure and gentle⦠Until the book is foundā a cold ledger of manipulation, a blueprint of betrayal, a stepābyāstep manual on how to destroy his heart.
If I were Chi Cheng, I would crumble too. Completely.
The breakup is inevitable, but I choose to believe in the beauty of the fall. Name one love story that became iconic without breaking us first? Call Me by Your Name. La La Land. Even in real life, hearts crack before they heal stronger. My own sister left her husband over the shadows of his gamblingā and six months apart turned longing into redemption. Now, they are unshakable.
So yes, Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei will part. Tears will come. We will ache. But when love returns after the stormā it will roar. The chemistry, the passion, the way theyāll fall into each other againā it will be electric, unstoppable, unforgettable. ā”ļø
Sometimes love must walk through fire to return as something deeper, something unbreakable.
Haha, 18,000 comments is nowhere near the highest.For comparison:KinnPorsche (Thai BL) ā 173,252 commentsImmortality…
Itās another martial art of Chinese censorship on BL ā just like The Untamed. Even though filming is already complete, the series canāt be released because of the BL ban in China. And if they try to sell it to international platforms, theyāll end up taking a loss.
Haha, 18,000 comments is nowhere near the highest.For comparison:KinnPorsche (Thai BL) ā 173,252 commentsImmortality…
Globally, KinnPorsche became a massive streaming success, topping charts in 191 territories after just its first episode, and sparking trend waves on YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram worldwide. It made over $14 million USD
Surprisingly, the number of comments has already reached an astonishing 18,000.Iām not sure what the record…
Haha, 18,000 comments is nowhere near the highest. For comparison:
KinnPorsche (Thai BL) ā 173,252 comments Immortality (Chinese censored BL) ā hasnāt even released yet and already has 107,519 comments Bad Buddy (Thai BL) 55,678 comments So yeah⦠18k is barely a warm-up. š
This forum should be called chi cheng protection squad. I noticed all hell will break if anyone try to question…
No one loves Revenged Love just because the cast is good-looking. Yes, the actors are stunningānot just Chi Cheng, but the entire male cast, especially Wang Shuoāand the second couple, Guo Cheng Yu and Jiang Xiao Shuai, are gorgeous too. But looks alone donāt carry a series like this. Fans connect with the story and the charactersā struggles, not just their faces. Thatās why the discussions get so passionateāitās about defending their journeys, not their jawlines. By your logic, if Korean actors are considered the most attractive, then every Kādrama should automatically be āthe bestā even without a solid plotābut the truth is, great dramas are remembered for their stories, not just pretty faces.
I get why you feel that way, but I donāt think itās that simple.Chi Cheng couldnāt give Wang Shuo closure…
I have to disagree with you on this one. In Episode 10, Chi Cheng already told Wu Suo Wei that he doesnāt love his ex anymore. Let me ask youāhow would you feel if your partner of 7+ years (someone youāve known for over 10) cheated on you, disappeared without a word, and then came back only to complicate things furtherālike showing those videos to Wu Suo Wei?
You make it sound so simple, but itās not. What difference would it really make if Chi Cheng said those words again in Episode 17? He has already said multiple times in earlier episodes that he no longer has feelings for his ex.
Chi Cheng isnāt immatureāheās traumatized. Heās navigating betrayal, manipulation, and broken trust. Expecting him to act like nothing happened or to deliver closure perfectly on cue is unrealistic.
Why can't Chi Cheng just say those words and give Wang Shuo the damn closure?Chi Cheng is the root cause of all…
I get why you feel that way, but I donāt think itās that simple. Chi Cheng couldnāt give Wang Shuo closure because heās carrying seven years of betrayal and trauma. He believes his ex cheated with his best friend. And now heās discovering that Wu Suo Weiāsomeone he thought was pure and genuineāwas secretly plotting against him.
Heās not the root cause of all the problemsāheās the product of all that pain. Closure isnāt just saying words. For someone like Chi Cheng, whoās been broken multiple times, closure is something he has to earn for himself first before he can give it to anyone else.
I can't believe people don't understand Chi Cheng feelings and will go as far as saying he doesn't deserve happiness.Poor…
Hahaha, but thatās no fun! š Donāt you want to see your friend fight back and argue with my strong points? Iāve got a whole essay ready for the Chi Cheng defense squad!
Heās not cold. Heās wounded. He deserves happiness because his journey isnāt about choosing between two peopleāitās about whether he can heal and learn to love again. š
So yeah, Iāll fight anyone who says Chi Cheng doesnāt deserve happiness! š¤
At the 29āminute mark in Episode 17, Wang Shuo asks Chi Cheng if he still loves him. Chi Cheng doesnāt give a direct answerāhe simply kicks Wang Shuo out the door. Many viewers see this and wonder: Why is Chi Cheng still thinking about his ex? Why is he dating Wu Suo Wei if heās still in love with Wang Shuo?
But it isnāt that simple.
Chi Cheng isnāt in love with his ex anymoreāheās haunted by betrayal and trauma. His father took his beloved pet. He believes his best friend betrayed him. And now, heās facing the crushing truth that Wu Suo Weiāsomeone he thought was pure and genuineāwas secretly plotting against him.
Heās carrying scars, not love. Thatās why his walls are so high. His journey isnāt about choosing between two peopleāitās about whether he can learn to trust and love again.
Remember, he believes his ex cheated with his best friend, and they were together for over 7 years. Even in real life, you canāt just erase someone you spent that long with, especially when betrayal is involved. Wu Suo Wei has only been in his life for a few monthsācompare that to 7+ years of history, trust, and heartbreak. Itās unrealistic to expect Chi Cheng to just āforgetā overnight.
His struggle isnāt about wanting his ex backā Itās about healing from deep wounds before he can truly let someone new in. š
Chi Chengās pain is exactly what makes this story so raw and human. š
I know y'all will jump on me for saying this but hey, this is series forum diff opinions should be welcomed as…
I get that youāre frustrated with Chi Cheng, but his story is so much more complicated than just ālingering feelings for an ex.ā Chi Cheng isnāt in love with his ex anymoreāheās haunted by betrayal and trauma. His father took his beloved pet, he believes his best friend betrayed him, and now heās facing the truth that Wu Suo Weiāsomeone he thought was pure and genuineāwas actually plotting against him.

So yeah, I get why you hate his actionsābut to me, Chi Chengās pain is exactly what makes this story so raw and human. š
Wsw wanted to tell Chi Chang about that girl several times, but she said he didn't want to know who she was
In Chi Chengās eyes, he thought it just another girl who chased money ā someone who dumped Wu Suo Wei because he was poor.
But Yue Yue has now appeared twice, including at the end of episode 17. That moment was Wu Suo Weiās chance to be honest with Chi Cheng. To clear the air. Instead⦠he covered it up.
Chi Cheng feels betrayed ā especially after everything heās done. All those days quietly caring for Wu Suo Weiās sick mother⦠And now, to find out the truth on his own, without a single word of explanation ā Itās just another painful miscommunication.
And the worst part? Tomorrow, weāre bracing for a brutal breakup. One that mightāve been avoided with just a little honesty.
In the trailer, we only see the photos. But in the Episode 18 preview⦠I honestly feel so sorry for Chi Cheng. Think about it:
His father took away his beloved pet. He believes Wang Shuo cheated on him with his best friend. Then comes Yue Yue, born into money. And just when he thought Wu Suo Wei was the purest and most genuine of them all⦠He discovers the book. A stepābyāstep plan of manipulation and revenge. If I were Chi Cheng, I would feel completely betrayed and shattered. š
Glad to know and nice to meet you! Really nice post that perfectly describes the 2 relationships ... You really…
Nice to meet you too, and thank you for accepting my friend request!
Hereās another one I posted last week for Episode 15 ā it took me a few hours to put together. Hope you like it! āāāāāāāāāāā My heart breaksānot just for Wu Suo Wei, but for Chi Cheng too. Two hearts, once so intertwined, now drifting in the dark, torn apart by silence and sorrow.
From Wu Suo Weiās eyes, how could he not ache? Chi Chengās exāhis first loveāreturned like a ghost from the past. The pet snake, still alive after seven long years, was a quiet reminder that some loves never truly die. And then⦠the hospital. Chi Chengās car parked outside. He answered the phone, but the words felt hollow, the tone unreadable. Wu Suo Weiās heart shattered, believing the man he loved had gone back to someone else.
But what he didnāt know⦠Chi Cheng wasnāt chasing lost loveā he was holding onto what little time he had left with his dying mother. He wasnāt unfaithful. He wasnāt lying. He was simply drowning in grief, too broken to speak the truth.
And in that cruel space between assumption and reality, everything collapsed. The love, the trust, the quiet dreams they were buildingā lost to a moment misunderstood.
What hurts most is not what they did, but what they didnāt say. The pain they carried in silence. The love they couldnāt reach across the distance. And how fate, without even trying, took two people who still loved each other deeply⦠and pulled them apart.
Love was there. It was always there. But sometimes, even the strongest love canāt survive a silence that comes too late.
Episode 15 shall forever be known as: š Torn by Silence ā A Love Lost in Misunderstanding
I seriously hope they clear up this heartbreaking misunderstanding in the next 24 hours, because if I have to wait a full 7 days⦠I might actually go mentally insane. Iām not built for this level of emotional damage š
And no, I do not have the time or emotional energy to write another sad poetic monologue ā Iām already hanging on by a thread
