I dropped ABO with a 1.0. Admittedly I liked RevLove, but not anymore.
Since I don't condone the behavior that is displayed in To My Shore, I shouldn't like RevLove either. Cringe or not, everything is trash.
I'd rather not watch BL anymore tbh

you still won't admit Fan Xiao is a rapist? wow okay. blocked.

Fan Xiao is still worse than Chi Cheng. But fine, if that's what you want, I'll stop liking Revenged Love. Bet.

You're just a coward lol

ugh can you shorten this? I'm not wasting time reading your thinkpiece on why Fan Xiao is actually a cinnamon roll, can do no harm. Or whatever. Really, I'm not reading this.

I can't get well soon because the mental illness I have is severe and lifelong lmao Are you even hearing yourself? I've got the proper meds though, since March 2025, so I'm totally fine now. But I beg to differ that now you're suddenly not arguing with me. Am I really that scary? lol I just call it like it is. I hate men and nothing will make me think otherwise. Unless I choose (yes, choose) to stop hating them myself, this is a non-issue. Avoiding men is best for me anyway. Not only do I dislike them, but they tend to hit on you for no reason. I hate that the most. So, I do like any other woman in my situation and avoid them, for my own peace of mind. I don't go around killing men, if that's what's on your mind right now. Maybe only in my imagination? That one runs wild sometimes haha But I swear I'm not a yandere, just a tired woman is all.

Joke's on you, mental hospitals don't address hatred of men. I've been to a mental hospital already (because of my mental illness) and the fact is, they only address symptoms that they can treat with meds. Not something that is a result of how society treats women. I hate men because men hate women. It's not rocket science as I've been saying, but men like yourself don't understand what this means at all. Also, you definitely are ableist for saying that. But I don't expect anything good to come out of your mouth (or text as it is on the screen, not irl), so I think you're a lost cause.

Well, it is what it is. It's not off at all. I can hate something and still think objectively the actors did a great job at portraying abusive relationships. Or something along these lines. But fun fact: I almost dropped this series. I should have dropped it after all. :(

I may hate men, but BLs are fun. At least it's not straight series, those are boring. I'd watch more GL too, but BLs are more entertaining.
I hate males selectively too. And I may end up hating the ones I'm tolerant of, as well. Am always suspicious of y'all intentions bc of how irl is built only for y'all. And of course, because of misogyny. Like, it's not rocket science. And I'll be damned if I let therapy get rid of my hatred for men lmao. I might go and fuck up my therapist's mind instead, rather than this happening. It's a security measure anyway, hating men. And it's fun.

Well, I don't care what you have to say. And 8.5 is the max score I could give it. A 5 sounds good right about now though, because of "fans" like yourself and others.

Well yeah that's the exact scene I was talking about that was bad. I am aware Chi Cheng is trash. If Wu Suo Wei finds about his past though, do you think he'll forgive him? I highly doubt it. Wu Suo Wei is better than that. Again, I haven't read the novel (yet). And I did mention he's a black flag. This is indeed one of the reasons to love Revenged Love less. :(
But that doesn't excuse Fan Xiao's behavior btw. At least admit this guy's a rapist too? LMAO

What do you mean "people like me"? I've been watching BL since 2008, I know an abusive situation when I see it. And by BL, I mean manga as well. BL dramas I've seen only since 2022. Double standard how?

How is he a rapist? He didn't rape Wu Suo Wei. Unless I missed something in the series? I know of one particular scene I didn't like, but I've not read the novel yet. I'm aware Chi Cheng is a black flag though.

Dude, I watched the series already. If you haven't been paying attention to the screen while you were watching it, that's no issue of mine. You're too blindsided by Fan Xiao's face card probably, to understand that he's a rapist. And a serial rapist at that. It wasn't a one time occurrence.

Either way, he's not a character that can be redeemed in any way. In fact, he deserves life in prison or even the death penalty. And for You Shu Lang to never interact with him again. What love? What romance? It's all abuse. None of this behavior would fly irl (unless you're fucked in the head). And you know very well you're triggered by what I'm saying and keep replying to me because maybe you condone rape? If not irl, then definitely in fiction.

If you deny this happened, at least take one look at yourself. What kind of person are you becoming by excusing Fan Xiao's actions? You Shu Lang was coerced into staying in Fan Xiao's house. He didn't go there willingly. And then afterwards, Fan Xiao dared lay his hands on him even though You Shu Lang was mentally checking out.

It doesn't take even one braincell to figure this out. But you keep insisting it's not rape. Well, let this type of relationship find you. Lets see how you like it when you find a Fan Xiao for yourself. Or am I to believe that you're more like Fan Xiao? Give me your police record fast. Let's see who we're really dealing with under the faceless account.

Believe what you will. But I'm not the one with ZERO understanding of this series like you are. Have we been watching the same drama? I doubt it.

No 'cause I gotta reply to this inanity. He molested him first and then there was a montage of Fan Xiao raping You Shu Lang. You know, in the second part of the series? You Shu Lang was already in Fan Xiao's home by then.
I was sure you guys glossed over that fact easily because the rape is filmed in an aesthetic montage type thing and also, the acting wasn't forceful or anything. BUT the fact of the matter is, he did rape him.

Think about real life. Would you personally forgive your rapist and try to have a relationship with him again? Would you think the rapist can be redeemed and still continue a relationship with the victim? I'm sorry, this has to be said. FX's behavior wouldn't fly irl. I am aware drama land doesn't operate under the same assumptions, but in that case, don't call this a masterpiece either? If all you took from it is that now you're romanticizing rape and abuse then you really need therapy yourself. Not only everyone in this series, but the viewers also, need therapy.

You do realize Fan Xiao repeatedly raped You Shu Lang. Have we been watching the same series? Are you sure there is love between them considering all this? LOL, you must be out of your mind then.

So I had to rectify my score for this one from a 9 to a 8.5. It doesn't deserve more than this.
People who are calling this a "masterpiece" with 10s across the board... have you actually seen the drama? Because you can't call any of that as romantic or what have you.
Fan Xiao and You Shu Lang shouldn't be together. How are you romanticizing FX's behavior?
That is NOT love. Not in the slightest. Hope this helps.

"Perhaps that is why letting go feels heavier than expected."
Well said. I don't think I'll let go of RevLove for quite some time.
Read your entire review (because RevLove means something to me lol) and I couldn't agree more.
This drama quickly rose to the top of my "best BLs of all time" list. I haven't seen some other good ones like Khemjira yet, but I doubt it'll be the same as this one. It doesn't have to be the same either. It just has to be better and few series can achieve this tbh
