My comfort series.... I miss them
Last summer 2025 was extremely nostalgic to me. I can't think back without thinking about Revenged love. To me, this series is everything. I was finally out of long years of depression and this series had such an impact on me. I don't think there will ever be a series that holds this much of my emotions and memories. I think a lot of Revenged Love fans think the same as me. I had told myself from the beginning that I would rewatch this but I decided to wait a full year. I'm currently in France for vacation and decided it was finally time. This is gonna be a long review I'm so sorry hahahha.
When the opening credits began I lowkey started crying bro, like the song, everything, it's just nostalgic. I didn't even expect me to get this emotional about it. The shots of the actors playing and everything. The nostalgic playing in the water and the colour grading. This series is so refreshing. If you've seen the Lorax, it feels like opening a water bottle. It's very simple and not even super special and I'm not sure why it makes me so emotional or holds so much memories.I watched this on vacation in Germany and a fun fact, this rewatch was on vacation in France.
One of the things that makes me sad till this day is Zi Yu. He was abused in his past idol group but suddenly blew up. What I love about Zi Yu is that he apparently wears his own clothes through the show and a lot of fans, including me, used to see resemblance between Zi Yu and Wu Suo Wei because they are a bit alike from personality and backstory. He got abused in his old idol group. I do feel a bit sad about his sudden rise in fame given that he has extreme sasaengs and is followed everywhere, even a year later. He and Tian will probably never meet again, because it's China. But it makes me so sad given that there were clearly some genuine feelings in the BTS. I'm not saying they're actually gay but they did really seem to like each other and be each other's partner in the series. The way they didn't expect it to blow up and it actually did makes me feel so glad for both of them. Zi Yu's expressions are soo iconic and just meme worthy and I used to only use revenged love memes because I just find them cute. I wanna put Wu Suo Wei in my pocket omg he is so cuteeeee. Maybe a lot of people disagree but this bl changed Chinese bl industry lot and a lot has aired since. I really hope coming bl series will even give the actors the opportunity to be in other bl and maybe even stay as a pair.
About the side characters and their actors I will have to admit not being very educated on it. Maybe I phrased that weirdly. The first time I watched Revenged love I actually had zero interest in the story between Cheng Yu and Xiao Shuai. But now that I am rewatching I loved it. I didn't know that the actor of Xiao Shuai also played in another bl (moon and dust), which is insane. I really like the side characters and I love the fact that Cheng Yu, to my opinion, is a huge green flag. Both him and Xiao Shuai fit so well together with personalities and it's just the sweetest. I am obsessed with Liu Jun's visuals although I hated Wang Shuo. Actually, Wang Shuo was a really nice character but only after the last episode. I think he was just mentally unstable and although I didn't know what he had. I searched it up and it was apparently bipolar. I think by far the character I hated the most was Yue Yue, this girl pissed me off soooo much. I remember when it was airing that I would always shit on her so much and repost hate videos about her. I do have to admit that Sun Qian Yu is really cute though.
I said it before and I'll say it again, this series is super nostalgic to me. With the main reason that the friendship is sooo adorable. I think the shots and everything were also meant to be nostalgic because even when watching this the first time, it just made me feel a certain way. The music adds to that feeling because I would overly play somewhere in your eyes and "肆意生花" (Blooming Freely) in summer 2025. I really wonder how this show will feel in like 5-10 years. I really hope that by then, the actors will have the ability to meet again.
I'm gonna be sharing my opinion here but in my opinion Chi Cheng is not that big of a red flag as some people portray he is. I think him cheating on Yue Yue is not a good thing but at the same time Yue Yue does choose to be blind. She is well aware of Chi Cheng's actual feelings and, maybe I missed the scene, but Chi Cheng never declared actually having feelings for her. Also, girl herself is an annoying red flag as well and the way she treated Wu Suo Wei is so unfair. The tension between Wang Shuo, Chi Cheng and Cheng Yu was INSANE and I swear the energy came off of my computer because bro. I actually don't like the fact that Wang Shuo caused so much of misunderstandings between both Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei and meanwhile Chi Cheng was also hiding Wu's mom in law dying and struggling with cancer. But at the same time, Wang Shuo has a mental illness and I love how Wu Suo Wei let him be most of the time.
I actually noticed in the back in that sitting room, that there's on this random wheel ABO written and I wonder if that was just a n coincidence or actually because ABO desire aired around the same time. Anyways, I really love this series with all my heart and it is and will stay my comfort series. I really wanna rewatch It each year to see how I feel about it because the nostalgia is soooo weird.
Old review: I personally love bl c-drama's, but sadly, most of the Bl once are heavily censored, idols can't meet each other, have to be discontinued or in the worst cases, the idols can't act anymore. For me Chinese is really comforting to hear and it makes me feel safe. When I started watching this series, I was honestly afraid that it was gonna be discontinued or censored. But luckily, only the ending did, as I heard... I'm not sure.
Anyways I love the whole story, the music and especially Zi yu's acting. My favourite animals are snakes, through watching the series I loved seeing the snakes all the time. I don't know why, but this has really become my comfort series. In real life, I see references everywhere, It's like I think about it 24/7.
Aside from that, I'm a huge fan of Zi yu, I just love him. I loved his acting.. but his music... AMAZING. I'm happy this series made him more popular, and the thing is, not only his most popular songs are good, he has a huge amount of good underrated songs, deffo check that out!
