Addicted

I thought it got off to a slow start, but developed into I feel the best Chinese BL drama. Just 0.5 off for that and wondering where it's going which nearly made me stop watching. It's very sweet and natural, as others have said, though Chinese productions tend to be raw at the edges and unsophisticated by Korean and Japanese standards. But they are handsome lads and the story keeps you watching, especially towards the end and the acting has a lot of passion. But where did the (brief) love triangle come from, I think I missed something at the beginning. ? and it's just getting interesting and with stories more than just a school drama when……….? Last episodes great BL romance but the ending…………eh?? eh??!! what happened??? ban for what??

PS Oh I should just say I hope they wore warm clothes beneath those track suit uniforms because I've been to Beijing and it gets d*** cold.

This series is definitely one of the best BL themed shows I've ever watched. When I found out that the cast consists of newbies and that the series is such a low budget production, I was pretty much shocked because I didn't notice at all. That's why I gave the acting a 10/10. Compared to other series or movies it's just awesome because everything feels so real and not awkward (except the fighting scenes maybe). Also the music is always appropriate because I never felt like it didn't fit.
I gave the story a 8/10 because just some things were unclear to me or I just wasn't able to relate to the character's actions. Apart from this, the plot was pretty good. Not too stereotyped but also not too crazy.
Rewatch value: 9/10, just because I don't really like re-watching series and also because I think that the beginning kept dragging on.

All in all, I love Addicted a lot and I definitely won't lose hope for a second season!! *sheds a tear* (Who am I lying to? It's more than just one.) Whatever, I will keep following my 2 favorites' (Chen Wen and Ling Fengsong aka. Yang Meng and You Qi) social media. :)

This is the second bl series that i have watched and it really intrigued me to the point that I need to read the whole 2 novel online. Then I found myself rewatching the series for many times whenever I have a free time.

The plot is totally different from the original novel but its fine. What most important for me is at least bailouyin and guhai got a perfect representation thru timmy and johnny. Unconsciously, I keep remembering their faces when I read the 2nd part novel. The background music is very nice to hear although i don’t know chinese language.

Although the series is incomplete, for me it is unforgettable.

Addicted Heroin ruined me for another BL web series especially considering that this was my first BL drama. This drama open the doors to me for BL romance, The chemistry between Gu Hai (Huang Johnny) and Bao Luo Yin (Xu Wei Zhou) was amazing, I would never have thought that this was their first drama. Although we do not really get to experience the side characters relationship as much you still grow to love the chemistry that happens between them as well.
Characters
Gu Hai was the typical bad boy in this drama, he was big, tough, and had a chip on his shoulders. What I love about this drama was that Gu Hai was clearly the dominant one in the relationship. He was not afraid to express his thought and feelings and even himself into Bao Luo Yin life. The biggest surprise came from Bao Luo Yin, who was the typical top class student. He was arrogant, smart, but also kind to his friends, what blew me away was the fact that he was also dominant (just not as much as Gu Hai). He did not let Gu Hai do whatever he wanted without making the consequence know. Bao Luo Yin unlike Gu Hai did not just roll with the punch and often had to fight his feeling but also Gu Hai feelings as well.
Storyline
The storyline was great, it was realistic and made sense. There not of much I can review it without spoiling it. The issue that made the storyline lacking was the jumping. Due to a ban on "sexual scene" in China, there was a lot of scenes that were cut which often leaves you confused. I found myself nearly falling off the bed when the scenes getting intense to scratching my head and asking how in the world we end up somewhere else. Okay, it's not that bad, most of the time it is easy to follow how you got from point A to point B it just annoying because the chemistry is so good ( better than some opposite sex couple dramas) you often feel like your missing something.
Overall
The web series is amazing it funny, dramatically, and the romance is to die for. Its worth the rewatcth, which is exactly what I'm about to do and will go down in my book as one of these best (if not the best) BL dramas.

Being sexually assaulted is romantic???

These people that give this show 10/10 do they think being sexually assaulted is romantic? Being kindapped, thrown on a bed and someone trying to force on you is romantic?
First red flag was when he begged Bai Luo Yin to masturbate togther, he says no but Gu Hai is keep pushing and pushing him. Everyone praises this show and says it's one of the best shows ever when in reality this kind of relationship would be so damn toxic in real life. And I know this is just a show and not real life. But people actually finding this romantic is all kinds of disturbing to me. After the kidnapping, this should be it for Bai Luo Yin and he should cut all ties with that guy. It's just really sad how lots of cute fluffy shows are overlooked while people glorify rape culture. Maybe if the scenario would be different then maybe people would start to think? If Bai Luo Yin was a girl would people think differently? Or would they still find this romantic?

The actors did a great job, that's why I am giving them 10/10. The story gets 2 because of all of these rapey things that happen.


Meng and Youqi are amazing characters btw! I kinda wish Youqi was Bai Luo Yin's love interest bth. Or even Meng, he's so sweet and bubbly.

girl now i have seen some shit in my life....

this was some shit.

all 27 years i went by not seeing this in my eyeballs was amazing. now, at 29, i am still flabbergasted. amazed. stupified. what even was this and what is going on with the people who make this stuff or anyone involved? why did i put this in my eyeballs? what the FUCK did i just watch? - me in 2019, me in 2021

to say i remember nothing about this series but the fact that the boy kidnapped the other boy he was "in love" with and almost raped him and then did rape him or sth in the original novel (who cares oh my god i dont need this in my head) but the STORY itself? who even fucking knows. the rewatch value is nothing. the only thing that is shocking is they had real kisses but then you know. PRC was like "nah" and...lol. but like this show is so bad oh my god and the secondary couple too i cannot believe i watched thiiiis

Loyal to source material

I watched the series twice already, from the beginning to the end consecutively, before I discovered, it was formerly a book. I had to know what happened after the last episode, so I begun reading the novel. I just wished it ended as it should have been, not dropped midway.

All that aside, I loved the chemistry of the main characters, their relationship dynamic, the fact that they are both strong "alpha" males, also the craziness, I was here for it.

Even if the budget seemed low, the execution was in my opinion top, so that I still want to watch it again in the future.
