Affinity

So bad It’s actually good!

The entertainment is guaranteed 😂 Not sure how to explain it, but this series is so bad it’s actually good. It makes zero sense, it's just pure chaos! A killer octopus in a swimming pool (laughed so hard at this), dragon, zombies, gun fights, sword fights… it literally has everything!
The special effects are below zero, but the soundtrack is amazing. And the chemistry between the couples… what was that??? 👀 I was getting shy just watching. The tension between the FL and ML is insane!

I honestly don’t even know what rating to give it, but I definitely enjoyed it and I do recommend giving this series a try!
Just don’t take it too seriously and it becomes a really fun, steamy romance.

Kind of a WASTE OF TIME!

if you are anything like me and you hate annoying characters then please, just please stayaway from this drama. the girl is pretty much insufferable and always going out of her way to cause a misunderstanding.

I can't deny the chemistry, i saw a clip on tik tok and i genuinely thought their chem was great so i decided to check it out; only to be met with the most ridiculous plot, like words can't even begin to describe the emotions i felt watching these episodes.

when the Dragon appeared i was like "the Heck did that come from" but i still overlooked it, but then so many more random things and plots kept on being added for no apparent reason and i became tired but i still pushed through until they went and killed off the second lead couple just when they were getting comfortable with each other and the boy was actually starting to fall for the girl.... yeah this whole show is screwed because "huh" but nonetheless that was my last straw so i dropped the show.
But if you are nothing like me then you can definingly enjoy this show with all its ups and downs.

Hooked on you

Mad respect for director Chen Jia Jie, who can create insanely entertaining shows with shoestrings. His Embrace in the Dark Night was already high on my "low-budget gem" list but Affinity is on a whole new level, pushing limits of what you can do with the short format on all fronts. Saying the plot is bonkers doesn't even start to describe the madness going on : it feels like the brainchild of someone who spent too much time consuming various popular genres like trashy supernatural smut, SF and horror video games and movies, and threw them in a blender without much care for logic. I won't lie, I basked in the nonsensical joy of it all, feeling like a kid at christmas gifted with the biggest, most colorful toy available.
The spice level is insane, clearly the censors were asleep or bribed when this went through approvals. I don't know how I will tolerate basic skinship in shows after this, at the end they were fully tongue kissing, something I've only seen in naughty vertical dramas (before the crackdown, not sure it will happen again). The choreography was also insanely hot and creative, I think I've watched the train scene a dozen times and know I will come back a dozen more. On the writing front the plot might be crazy and twisty but it doesn't keep the emotional beats from working, far from it. I had to take a break around a certain time, I was so invested in the characters, their misfortunes made me too upset to continue. I came back to it a few months later and gobbled up the remaining episodes. Yes, it's brainless but it's not heartless, I teared up a few times and was invested in all characters, even the side ones. The year is not over but it might be my favorite thing 2026 has produced.

Craziest shit I’ve ever seen (I. LOVE. IT!!!).

I’ve watched a lot of dramas, but this one takes the top spot. It’s like watching a car crash —you can’t look away. The story feels like it’s high on crack, but the acting, the pacing, and the atmosphere are so different and addicting compared to everything I’ve seen before. The kiss scenes, the yearning, the craving… amazing!

Is the story logical? No.
Is the communication the best? No.
Do I still think I’ll ever find a better drama? No.

This is a mix of dark romance, forced love, and the craving of the omegaverse, all in one. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it has something really special that I’ve never seen before.

It has left an empty hole in my heart. If anyone in the future finds something just as crazy and amazing as this show, I’d love to hear about it.

omg what have I just watched?!

i was promised hot romantic drama with action and got weird alien hate/ love relationship with borderline action. thrownin a finger puppet squis, a ghost bird and a dragon that came
out lf nowhere. oh and not to forget the AI bear that opened doors, raided the pantry and then left without looking around the corner. i loved the leads. they are both great and cute and really handled that well. i think they probably read the synopsis and thought how bad can it get. then the bear showed up 😂🤣😂andnit went downhill from there.
but seriously i loved the chemistry between them and you could aee that some of the scenes were real and not acted.
the character of the fl was a bit annoying to me at one point but she redeemed herself. i just wish they would have just written that character with consistency and not this emotionally immature chaos.
the jerking around, holding her down, forcing physical contact on her and all that wasn’t really my thing. but fit the storyline of “marry or die”. same thing my mother keeps telling me.
i found it not bad and hilarious until the helium. you mean I spent my time to watch 40
episodes and cryinb over his fate for helium?! something you can buy at the dollar store?!!!
good thing they waited until the last episode to reveal that because I would have dropped it at that moment. no point in dropping it 4 minutes before the shows ending. well played!!
would I watch it again nope
would I watch season 2? hell ya. this was addicting and fun. but bring back the puppet squid and AI bear !!

Don't Waste Your Time

This is one of those dramas that gain hype through short clips on Reels, gaining traction and interest from the global community, not local (because Chinese people appreciate plot more than anything). I guess a lot of people use the term "vertical drama" but this is more like a short cdrama from a lesser known production company...

Anyways, I too was one who came in after seeing their reels, which are all snippets of the leads kissing. They're all quite impactful, I give you that. I also thought I'd give this a try because the two male leads have worked on reputable dramas before. Unfortunately, I had to drop this about halfway and that was a stretch.

The plot makes no sense from the beginning-- there's no explanation of this affinity virus and its origins, and the drama synopsis is completely different from what's being shown on screen. The CGI is NOT even remotely good, contrary to those who claim it is... c'mon it's 2026. That orange octopus coming out of nowhere LITERALLY had me laughing out loud. It looks like a school videography project. And don't get me started on the farfetchedness of some other... creatures😂

The leads aren't the worst actors, and I've seen them all on several other projects, but despite all the skinship they didn't even have good chemistry. Their off-screen chemistry was loads better.

So... to describe this in one word, I'd say cringe. And not the good kind. The embarrassing kind. 🫣

Bizarre

So bizarre that my first thought was that I was watching a J-drama. I double-checked the next spoken sentence and ascertained it was, indeed, a Chinese drama. It's dark, dangerous, and deviated from the average drama.

The leads were adorable together. He's the boy your parents warned you about: the bad boy. But not your typical bad boy who did poorly in school and hung out with the wrong crowd. This boy was smart, menacing tall, feral, and definitely detrimental to the well being of those around him. She, on the other hand, was tiny. The ML often picked her up around the waist with one arm and carried her like his own personal Barbie doll with a curtain of glossy black hair. She was kind, brave, and resourceful and an absolute addiction of the bad boy.

The mood was black, and it seemed it was only night in their world. The visuals were striking: the ML and FL fell from the dark sky into a heart-shaped pile of pink balloons (please don't ask why the balloons were there, as logic has no place in this drama, and I'd have to explain the leads landed, miraculously unharmed, on their feet next to a tank containing a murderous mutant octopus with huge ears which was mind controlled by a zombie, at which point the explanation about the balloons hardly matters, right?). Do I care that the plot is ridiculous? Not a bit, because I'm not bored. And the OST was as wild as the action.

I thought I'd picked a tiny filler to watch between the longer dramas, as Viki only showed six episodes. I realize now it has 40 (but only 18 minutes each), which Viki will mete out on a weekly (?) basis. Bah, humbug. Here's hoping the drama keeps its frantic pace, phenomenal weirdness, and ends well.

Update: the weird, frenetic darkness morphed into a montage of musically-enhanced make-out scenes (although I've got to say that Cui Yu Xin and Fang Jin made kissing an art form; I seriously don't know how they got past the censors). That's when I lost interest and found something else to watch. I like kissing (and they had some excellent hugs), but I require a little plot to hold my attention.

I recently came back to finish the series, hoping it would regain the bizarre dark energy of the initial episodes, but it finished poorly with stilted dialogue, nonsensical reasoning, and so-bad-that-it-almost-got-interesting again plot. It's as though the drama was stitched together by committee: a guy on crack, a romance novelist, and a hapless student who was forced to write an ending for his class grade.

It's hard to rate this one. I'd give nine stars for the first episodes. They were a wild ride. I'd drop to maybe a five for the latter episodes. That would average to seven, but I've got to add a half star for the OST. It suited the drama well, and the intro song became an ear worm.

From cringe and hilarious to really sweet

This is the first mini drama i have not dropped. At first i was laughing hysterically at how cringe the scenes were (i need you to make out with me to calm me down) (virus A has to marry a virus B by the age of 25 to stop themselves from painfully dying) etc 😂😂 then came the ridiculous cgi octopus and the falling from a sky scraper height and survivng like he was a superhere 😂 then came a dragon for exactly one scene 😂 i cant even say how many hilarious things are on this show but around the middle when he started gaining real feelings for her and fell in love it got so sweet and cute awww. I really like his character development he has grown so much and been so patient with her even though shes always doubting him and stuff. Anyway im loving it now honesty its gotten less cringe too or maybe i just got used to it haha the male lead keeps me watching.
Ok i finished it,it was pretty good, just shut your brain off and gove it a go if youre bored 😊
