Well that definitely was a special episode. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The comment about packing Sorn’s razor 🪒 so he wouldn’t grow his beard back was a chef’s kiss 💋 to the fans who mercilessly mocked (but loved) that episode. I stand by this series as one of my all time favourites for its over the top campy-ness just like Unforgotten Night. I will miss this horned up pair, but damn happy for an additional 2nd episode. Bless these producers.
I know many people are angry with Keishi for saying, “Even if I was gay, it wouldn’t be with Tojo-san,”…
It’s an interesting perspective. Keishi clearly deeply regrets what he said. He knew he inflicted a wound that was incredibly deep. I think it was awell done scene overall because of the complexity. It made the series for me.
What I found true and heartbreaking 💔 was episode 9 when they ran into their co-worker who guessed they were dating and Keishi didn’t just brush off the comment with just one “no. He instead chose to be brutal. He said “of course not, absolutely not. Besides even if I were gay, it wouldn’t be with Tojo-san”. Even their work colleague says how cruel. And what Tojo does after this exchange to reclaim his dignity makes this series for me.
I got lost around episode 7. Now that its done I am going to start from the beginning and watch it all over again, I remember liking the premise early on but it lost me mid way. Here’s hoping I make it through!
Episode 10 and I finally figured out what the hell is going on in this series. I think I am going to have to re-watch it again now that I understand what the point of it is.It’s been a slow burn 🔥 but a good one. ☝️
I can’t go past Episode 5. Where do you go from your love interest is actually your rapist? I have to say though the way that scene rolled out was incredible. The slow motion and everyone’s reaction and most importantly the victim’s perspective. The series really has really been about the second couple who have been delivering great scenes in the bedroom and as they figure out their relationship. But is has to be over the doctor and his engineer.
sigh. should I drop this cause wtf am I even watching? like? the plot could have been better, I feel zero chemistry…
I think it’s more of a cultural thing. I find Japanese BLs are really restrained where intimacy is concerned. There are exceptions of course….My Personal Weatherman, When it Rains it Pours, Love is Better the Second Time Around, Tokyo in Spring come to mind… Awkward love seems to be the rigueur de jour. It can be frustrating to watch.
There is no other series like Revenged Love. It is groundbreaking for a Chinese BL. Yes, there are things that could have been done better, like the last episodes were wild, so many new plot lines introduced. But overall it was simply magnificent in its scale, scope and the openness of the actors and their commitment to show a couple deeply in love. It looked completely real, passionate and heartbreaking. I loved every minute of it and I am sad it’s over. But I have this feeling, it’s going to be one of these series I am going to watch again and again.
