| “Please Don’t Panic” – Chai Jidan Clears the Air on Revenged Love’s Sudden Broadcast Halt |
Revenged Love, the popular Chinese BL drama that’s been airing internationally, has suddenly halted its broadcast mid-season—just as fans were gearing up for the next big turning point in the storyline. Episodes 11 and 12 were supposed to drop earlier this week, but instead, viewers were met with silence. No uploads. No warning. Just confusion.
Now, Chai Jidan—the original author of the BL novel and creative mind behind the show—has broken her silence and tried to calm the storm. According to her latest post on social media, the broadcast pause isn’t linked to any off-screen drama or issues with the cast. Instead, she insists it’s all down to a "normal content adjustment."
“Please don’t panic,” she wrote, reassuring fans that the delay is mainly due to reworking the next two episodes, especially after the earlier edits stirred up a bit of controversy. She mentioned that both the translation and dubbing processes are being updated and need more time.
Fans were asked to be patient and stop attacking innocent parties involved in the production.
“Please don’t attack the actors or the production team. We’re already working hard on it. The official air date will definitely be announced this week. Don’t believe the rumours—just follow the official updates.”
🤔 So What’s Really Going On?

While Chai Jidan's explanation is calm and professional, it’s also triggered even more questions. What exactly was so controversial about the earlier edits? Why was there such a last-minute cancellation of episodes on July 13? And why did the clearer update only appear the next morning?
Netizens have started speculating again—some pointing fingers at censorship pressure, others suggesting it’s all a calculated move to stir up buzz.
One trending hashtag on Chinese social media says it all:
#Don’tCutTheIntimateScenes
Many fans suspect that crucial scenes—especially romantic or emotionally intimate moments—might be on the chopping block in the new version. And that’s sparked a fair bit of panic. Especially since Chai Jidan previously made a bold statement claiming the full version of Revenged Love would air without bowing to pressure.
Adding to the mix, Chai Jidan also subtly reminded fans that Revenged Love is a low-budget production. Despite its growing popularity, especially within the BL fandom, it lacks strong financial backing. That’s made it more vulnerable to last-minute changes, censorship concerns, and even broadcast delays.
Still, the support from fans is loud and unwavering. Online threads are flooded with comments from viewers urging the team to stick to their creative vision—and not cut corners just to play it safe.
⏰ When’s It Coming Back?
As of now, no exact return date has been given—but Chai Jidan promised that official news on the next episode’s air time will be announced within the week. In the meantime, fans are being urged to stay calm, stop pointing fingers, and ignore the rumour mill.
For now, it’s a waiting game. But one thing’s for sure—Revenged Love has found itself at the centre of a very real BL drama… off-screen.
