I don't wanna ruin the mood cause I sincerely love this show from the bottom of my heart, but what's wrong with the English subtitles? At least on YouTube, for which I am paying VIP. I could hardly follow the dialogues, they're all messed up. In previous episodes there would be some issues here and there, but nothing much, it was absolutely fine and understandable. However in this episode English subs hardly make any sense.... I find it funny that they took additional time to supposedly better edit and sub these episodes, and then the subs end up being all over the place....? 😅😪 really, most dialogues have messed up pronouns, words that do not make any sense in that context, whole sentences that do not make sense... following the plot gets harder and harder, unfortunately. It is really bothering me tbh.

Guys, I've read in more than one occasion that the Korean version (like on the Korean platform) of the kiss scene in episode 10 is different from the others (I'm watching the show on their official YouTube page).
Is that true? If so, can we find that clip somewhere?
I'm counting on you all 🫶🏼❤️

I mean, with any other BL from any other country no one would have freaked out at all, but the fact that this one is from China, plus all the vague information they had given as explanation (+ the harassment the actors had been receiving and all the chaos on CN social media), definitely contributed to panic breaking loose. Of course it's just a series, but given the circumstances people were afraid something would have happened, just like with Addicted and even more recent shows. Also, you probably did not freak out exactly because you were only at episode 5 😅 anyway, thank god nothing happened, and we will get our episodes tomorrow and on Sat (hopefully without any cuts). 🤗

Completely agree. I feel the exact same, sis.

You probably cannot read or lack reading comprehension skills. I used the verb "to seem", not "to be", darling. Cause yes, you seem like it. And once again, not finding issues with them possibly cutting NC scenes in this particular show (THIS ONE, not all shows) just does not make any sense, cause as I keep reiterating it is probably the second biggest plot point, after the overall revenge plan. "I just care about the plot and acting", well not really, cause you seem oblivious to the plot. Plus, you were not just harmlessly stating your opinion, since in your comments (plural) you talked about people watching shows that in your opinion are straight up p*rn, and that people are only interested in that. Spoiler, we are not, we are not creeps unlike what you seem to believe (it clearly shows, there's not even a need to read between the lines). So it was definitely judgmental. Anyways, I'm tired of arguing for nothing. I just hope nothing gets cut, so that the plot keeps having sense, and especially Chi Cheng's chsracter.

just now? Source? Why are they not making an official statement on YouTube then?

You are putting words in my mouth, words that I never said. People were very content with the kiss scene in episode 10, despite it not being overly explicit. People are "expecting" hard core NCs (which is not even true, people are simply expecting NCs, not hard core at all) because this particular NOVEL IS ALL ABOUT THAT. Once again, you keep missing the core issue. In fact, people were very surprised when China decided to adapt this particular novel, and for a very good reason.
Once again, people are scared they will cut the NC scenes (and not only those) because the show up until now was demonstrating a good balance between not being overly explicit like the novel is, but still following it without changing the characters completely. Plus, cutting scenes would make the show sloppy, it would make it lose balance, and the plot would just sink. Chi Cheng is an OVERLY sexual character, so I ask myself why you are even watching the show when you seem so repulsed by sexuality.

You must be 12 years old if you think that enjoying an NC scene means fetishising people. And "they rarely show NC in straight shows" is the most absurd statement I have ever heard, for real 😂 I wonder what kind of shows you have been watching.
Finally, you clearly understood nothing of my comment. I watched the CN bromance "Stay With Me", while it aired, without any NC, and I (just as many more people) absolutely adored the show. HOWEVER as I already pointed out, it's not the same with Revenged Love. Once again, and I won't repeat myself a third time, in the case of Revenged Love NC scenes are essential to the plot, especially if you take the novel into consideration (which I haven't read myself, but people have been clear enough about it, in the show they have toned down a lot of scenes already). With a character like CC, who has been doing nothing but grab SW's butt and trying to sleep with him, not showing any NC would be idiotic and would make the narration arc feel off, incomplete. And that is objective. Plus, people are not worried about not having NC scenes per se, they rather are upset because they don't wanna see the show being cut for no reason, they want to see the entirety of it, all the scenes that the actors have meticulously prepared and delivered.

I literally just commented the exact same thing. I hate this lack of clarity, and these misleading communication tactics.

Honestly, I am very very gutted. Waiting would "not" (cause, really, it actually is) be a problem per se, however what really bugs me is not receiving a clear reason for it. Everyone is speculating, of course they are, exactly because we did not receive a clear explanation. Why is it postponed? For the harassment the actors have been unfortunately receiving? Or for a supposed editing issue/production issue? The reasons could be endless, especially since this is still a show coming from China, despite having been sold to foreign streaming platforms. Not saying anything apart from "perfect/better viewing experience" is what makes people speculate, and not happy about it. Also, many of us bought a membership on YT, which we are paying monthly, while we don't even know why airing has been postponed, nor when it will resume.The dubbing thing does not make sense, in my opinion. First, it's nothing official, second, if that was the reason why not specify it? Does not make sense. Even a supposed editing/production issue, if that was the case they would have hinted at it, and especially they would have given us a date already. I know people are annoyed at the "negativity" that is spreading around here and other channels, but that is what unclear communication leads to. Cause I am definitely not the only one who thinks that all this vagueness, as well as lack of explanations, and lack of new airing date are not good signs, at all.
God I will NEVER start a CN BL until it finishes airing, ever again.

People are not creeps who "only worry about NC scenes". It really isn't very hard to understand that in the case of RL, NC scenes are ESSENTIAL, cause they are a pivotal aspect of the entire plot and narration. CC has been wanting to sleep with Suo Wei for the entirety of the show, and the last episodes focused a lot on SW's doubts and fear about being intimate with a man, despite the fact that he likes CC in that way. If you do not show anything, then the arc of the entire narration will be totally off, unfinished, not credible. if you think "NC scenes do not add anything to the plot" when it comes to RL, then I'm sorry sweetie but you understood nothing of it.

Same same same, sis. Waiting every week is torture, but at the same time I enjoy commenting on the show on here, or on YouTube, at least we can all suffer together within our little precious community ❤️
And yeah, the casting was absolutely perfect. Not only do they have amazing chemistry, but they are talented actors, and it shows! Even in the BTS, they work on every movement and facial expression, knowing very well what the characters are supposed to be feeling in that moment, and they try again and again to reproduce it exactly as it is intended. Can't wait for ep 8 🥹🫠

4 episodes per week would be a dream come true 🫠🥹

I haven't been this OBSESSED with a BL in literally so long. I can't explain it, but these two are something else. To the point that, if I'm being honest, I don't care at all about the second couple, like literally I'd want CC and SW on screen for the entirety of the show 🥹🫠 they have amazing chemistry and they are both very good actors, we couldn't ask for more. The only very UNFORTUNATE thing is that waiting every week is absolute torture and the level of said torture will steadily even increase.We are losing our shit over this, and they are not even together yet. Can't really picture us all when that will happen 🫠🫠 episode 8 is already gonna be FIRE, I'm sure they will finally kiss, FOR REAL, with Suo Wei really wanting CC. We are all to be deceased tomorrow. Pray for us. 🙏🏼

I do agree, but I think it is a bit too packed anyways. The plot is not bad at all, but still very packed, and they hardly had time to develop a relationship... actually, with everything that is going on I feel like in real life no one would actually even think of getting in a relationship at all 😅 Idk, that is just my opinion of course. I am enjoying the show nonetheless, but I do think that they could have developed their relationship better, even with just a few more scenes (even at the clinic where Sun's sisters is, Peace went so many times, they could have added a few more scenes of Sun being also there and connect with him on an even deeper level).

I just started watching this yesterday, and I am enjoying it very much, for sure. I still have to watch episode 8 in its entirety, I just started it, and up until now the only critique from my end is that I would have liked more of a middle ground between solid plot/action, and romance. I am enjoying the plot and the story, I love that the show is not a regular BL, but rather a show that tells a story where two men happen to fall in love. However, the "romance" between Peace and Sun is quite questionable..... maybe they could have made the dad spy on them a bit later on, in order for them to at least have some time to build the relationship. Cause to be honest their relationship has not been built well, it's rushed, they surely connect through shared pain and experiences, but they had like a total of maybe 15 minutes of screen time together in 8 episodes...? I don't understand why Thai series always seem to lack balance, everything is either based on the romance only, with all the characters and plotlines catering towards the main couple, or the exact opposite, where the plot is rather solid, but they hardly develop the relationship. They did not even kiss once, before the sexual encounter in episode 8 😅

I am on episode 5 already!!! I am very much enjoying it! 😍 I am enjoying the plot, the visuals, characters are not overly curated and do not wear a ton of make up, they feel way more realistic and what I love the most is that the show just tells a story, and this story happens to have two men who will fall in love, but it's not the centre of it all. Thank you so much for the recommendation 🙏🏼

thanks a lot for your reply and analysis!! Will give it a go, hopefully it's not overly messy, or at least still understandable ☺️

Hey guys, is this show worth it? I was thinking about starting it, cause on top of Revenged Love, which I am totally gushing over, I feel like I need a show with a bit more action. I started Knock Out a few days ago, but lost any interest around episode 6, it's repetitive, cliché, quite boring and just... very Thai BLish, if you know what I mean. And I couldn't really stand the character of Keen, even his voice gives me the ick (plus the whole show seems like a remake of Wandee Goodday or whatever the hell that show was called). I dropped The Next Prince, maybe I will pick it up again in the future, who knows, but personally it has been quite a let down, and I much preferred Zee in previous works with a different partner.
I've seen people talking quite nicely about this one, which seems to me less centred on pure BL tropes (especially Thai ones, I've been watching BLs since 2016, so I very well know all Thai BL tropes and traits), and overall more realistic. I'm even sick of rich ass characters with massive cars and condos, I miss shows like ITSAY, with regular Thai people who live in regular houses.

Yeah I totally agree 😅 on top of not being credible at all as a gymnast, he looks way too childish, it almost made me uncomfortable at times, he looks like a 5th grader or something. They definitely could have chosen better (even one of the other 2 leads, would have been more credible).
