The Chinese Boys’ Love (BL) drama Revenged Love has been one of the biggest hits of summer 2025, but its finale left many fans frustrated. The show, which aired its last episode on August 12, 2025, wrapped up with a happy ending for the lead couple but faced criticism for feeling rushed and lacking romantic moments.
What Happened in the Final Episode?
The drama follows Wu Suo Wei (played by Zi Yu), a man from a modest background who seeks revenge on his wealthy ex-girlfriend by seducing her new boyfriend, Chi Cheng (Tian Xuning). However, his plan backfires when he genuinely falls in love.
In the final episode, Chi Cheng is cleared of embezzlement charges after the real culprit confesses. Instead of an emotional reunion, the episode focuses on a playful water fight scene involving supporting characters Guo Cheng Yu and Dr. Xiao Shuai. While the lighthearted moment provided comedy, many fans felt it replaced a much-needed romantic climax.
The episode ran for only 33-35 minutes, significantly shorter than previous episodes, which averaged 45 minutes. This abrupt runtime left viewers questioning whether crucial scenes were cut.
Fan Reactions: Mixed Feelings Over the Ending
While some fans appreciated the happy resolution, others were vocal about their disappointment. Many took to social media to express frustration over the lack of a kiss scene between the main couple, despite their long-awaited reunion.
“WHAT KIND OF ENDING WAS THAT?!?! WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THESE TEARS!?!! We deserved kisses and cuddles. I TAKE IT BACK, I HATE TAX PROBLEMS!” – X user @kiasiandramas
“Honestly, the ending was so disappointing in every way possible, it felt rushed, bland, and boring, not to mention how short it was compared to the others. Sad how such a popular show had to end this way.” – Twitter user @luv3den
“Last ep 33 minutes? After everything we’ve been through since 14 eps. Mind you, the main couple didn’t even get enough time together, and I thought at least the finale would give us comfort? This is so unfair.” – Twitter user @venerablefujo
Some viewers defended the ending, calling it a fitting close to the chaotic love story.
“I really loved the ending. I think it was a perfect finish to an amazing series that I will rewatch when my heart can do it again lol.” – Facebook user Al Shaw
Why Did the Ending Feel Rushed?
The drama faced production challenges, including an unexpected removal from a streaming platform mid-season. Despite this, it gained massive popularity, breaking viewership records. However, the finale’s accelerated airing schedule—releasing two episodes per weekend instead of one—may have contributed to the rushed feeling.
Additionally, fans expected more romantic development between Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei, especially after emotional sacrifices, such as Wei Wei selling his childhood home to help clear Chi Cheng’s name.
Was the Ending Still Satisfying?
The finale did resolve major plot points:
- Chi Cheng’s family finally accepted Wei Wei after seeing his efforts.
- The embezzlement case was cleared, with the real culprit exposed.
- The couple reconciled, ending on a hopeful note.
However, the lack of intimate moments (like a kiss) and the short runtime left some fans wanting more.
Will There Be a Season 2?
There’s no official confirmation of a second season. The show’s ending wrapped up the main story, but its popularity leaves room for spin-offs or special episodes.
