LEGENDARY ADDICTING

Let me just say that this is the first BL's I ever watched in my life, and watching this again is like so Nostalgic for me in my BL journey, and As far as I can remember when I watched this drama, I watched it liked 2 or 3 times in a row ! as far as what the title is, watching this drama is so addicting. after 3-4 years I even understood the story now that I came back to see it again, it was really really too bad that this has became the first and the last BL drama of China.
I just liked the story, the leads are just confused bi sexual, specially the way Gu Hai was dominant and so eager and addicted to Bai Louyin, every scene was just so simple but we can clearly understand whats happening and there was no confusion, the script is as exactly as what we can expect them to be and the events are so realistic, the sound effects are just right with the scenes and so loved the facial expressions.
I fell inlove so hard to Huang Jingyu during the first time I saw this drama so so hard that I even downloaded hundreds of his photos on my phone, it was not really easy to move on back then and now that I re watched this, I feel like I like him again .. I really hope I could have someone like Gu Hai so so dominant so sadist yet so true and so manly, no wonder that Bai Louyin who is also a hard as stone became soft march mallow because of Gu Hai
All in all this drama is like so rewatchable like many times in forever HAHAH, for me .. I just felt too bad that I would never see them again in a drama together, to be honest I tried having an sneak on their other dramas even the latest ones but I can hardly accept that they have a new partners AHHAH anyways they are just a legend that I can never see again for me Legendary Addicting ! bye Gu Hai and Bai Louyin ! see you again soon ♥

It's okay...

Okay so I'm not sure why everyones loves this BL so much...Gu Hai is extremely toxic! He literally kidnapped Bai Luo and SA him. Like what??? That's unacceptable! They're wasn't much chemistry between the actors in my opinion, I just wasn't feeling what everyone else was feeling. I wouldn't recommend this BL to be honest. It's like Gu Hai was trying to be romantic but he was doing so wrong lol. Like dude your being a stalker and your obsession with this boy is weird. Get help and leave him alone. I guess there were some cute scenes here and there but it wasn't all that. I wouldn’t watch this again.

Just now I finished watching this series. I really loved this drama. But I am very much disappointed that every episode was short. I expected Season 2 but still it is not yet released. I really loved the male leads chemistry and I fell in love with them. There were several moments which was funny. I finished this series at one sit. The time went quick just by seconds and each episode was finishing off quickly. Overall it was good and fun to watch it. Good actors and good time pass. Wish there was Season 2 !!!

I'm not a psychologist, but...

Boys and girls! If you meet a person like Gu Hai, run for your life! He has every feature of a toxic narcissist: he does not respect other people's boundaries, does not take "no" for an answer, tries to alienate his significant other from their friends, manipulates their family, stalks, sexually molests, tries to buy love with presents/favours, and does not refrain from crime and verbal/physical violence.
Boys and girls! If you are a person like Gu Hai, you need therapy. Seriously. Your destructive behaviour will only cause pain to people you care about.

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.

OBSESSION

The story line was perfect. The flow of the story was smooth and well organized..... This is the first BL series that gave me energy to finish the entire eps....The characters are perfect they did what they have to do. But the story ain't done and still no update for 7 years and still counting.... They have to move, we're rooting for update.

I never regret watching the entire episodes (15/15). It literally made me obsessed. This BL series is the OBSESSION like the Queen of rap named NICKI MINAJ.

Very good and it's a shame it was cancelled

I really liked this. I love a romance between 2 tops lol. I think this was the first BL in China, so they just did everything they wanted (making out and sex scenes) and didn't realize it could be cancelled (?) but I love the boldness of it. There's not much to say because it didn't last and it doesn't have an end. But I recommend just a few (all) episodes with them, it won't hurt. ...............................................................................................................................................

First cut ...

This is the first ever bl drama I watched. it has lead to years of obsession to bl dramas and books. Loved the story, the chemistry between the actors. first cut is the deepest cause I have really rewatched it as many times as I can.It really doesn't matter it's incomplete, what's available is perfect on its on. The story build up is perfect, the kisses look so real.

Will they ever be allowed to give us season 2? it's so sad and heartbreaking that was it. Even reading the book doesn't really heal. it isn't the same. Think this is one of the few series I have watched where I am addicted to the series more than the book.
Fingers crossed, one day

Was meaning to watch this awhile but the reviews kept throwing me off,t but I finally decided to sit down and watch it and I loveeeed it. This had me lolh . Saw some person's bashing it but am a person who likes to have an opinion for myself not off of what someone said. I enjoyed it. Love his dad now for his mom she needed to come down from that high horse she was on. She was to full of herself. The couple loved them. Just vexed there is no season 2. Really hope someone picked up this series and finished it but oh well
