Why the male lead did what he did, what his “real intention” was, I genuinely don’t care. Just because he’s the ML doesn’t mean we’re obligated to accept a last-minute rewrite that crowns him as “noble” in the end.
For once, let the flawed, greedy, slightly awful ML stay that way until the final scene, with no redemption arc, no moral varnish, no conveniently timed epiphany. Sometimes, honestly most of the time, stories feel truer when they allow characters to remain accountable for who they chose to be. Fairy-tale heroes and spotless heroines have already had more than enough screen time.
This show shares the same director as Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island. Its producers are Lin Fengsong and…
Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island production was much higher then this one. I know it has nothing with the Addicted except the author, but still compared to 10 years ago, feels like the same style...Litchi Island cinematography plus the camera work is way artistic then this one!
Again, the production is weak, and at times I don’t even know what’s happening. It’s been ten years, yet the level of inexperienced filmmaking is striking, as if nothing has changed between Addicted and this spin-off. It feels like they shot it back then and only released it a decade later. I wish the production values were higher and the technical execution more solid. The acting and story are about what I expected, but I’m disappointed by the direction, editing, and nearly every other aspect of the filmmaking.
I absolutely hate the fuck shit brother and his equally shit sister. I mean forced kindness is one thing thing - he is presumptuous, judgmental and loaded with prejudice using his own self righteous nature to justify other behavior without really knowing them, specially towards ML, with whom he has lot of misunderstanding, but he just doesn't resolve it and create more problems and bitch-full of stuff poking his nose in ML business, and matter he doesn't even has any connection with. Just useless, brainless fuckless soul. Same for sister, both Uncle and nephew are of gold standard, too bad nephew likes someone who is too ignorant and brat in her behavior.
That hug was everything at once, the warmest, the saddest, the happiest. It felt redemptive without being dramatic, like a quiet apology and a quiet forgiveness happening in the same breath. And more than anything, it was letting go, not in a cold “I’m done” way, but in a humane way, acknowledging the love, acknowledging the damage, and finally releasing each other from the weight of it all. One of those rare scenes that doesn’t just close a moment, it closes a chapter. Not a single word, just a gentle pat on the head, and then he walked away.
the ML covered up fraud of taxes of Hanmin Securities and FL protested and they broke up. It remains to be seen whether he did it actually or he did to caught the bigger fish, also him coming to Hanmin Securities as president is not clear, whether he wants to stop the corruption or he has other goals.
They could go with less base or foundation on Albert, but it really suits him, that over-makeup is very sleek, shinny and looks actually very good on him, but even without makeup he looks fine as fuck, as he did in his BL.
Hope he acknowledges where his success comes from, unlike some ungrateful actor who mentions his all dramas but not the one that actually propelled him to success!!!
It’s so fun overall… but the ML is just unlikeable. I’ve never warmed to him, either as an actor in other series or as a character here, and I honestly couldn’t care less about him, he feels completely irrelevant to why I’m watching.
The FL, on the other hand, is doing an amazing job. She’s genuinely funny, and I always love it when the FL is clearly superior in her speech and actions, no matter what other people think. She isn’t timid and never has been, she stands her ground.
And the ML? He’s been a complete bitch. Mistakes can be forgiven, but character is a different story. Once you’ve sold your soul, you don’t just do it once, you start repeating the same pattern. I know this is the drama world and everything is exaggerated, but that kind of moral rot doesn’t magically turn into redemption just because the plot needs it.
But as we know they are the end game, I genuinely hope she doesn't ends up with anyone, if must, then give an open ending between her and Albert, if he is a good guy.
The biggest plus point, and the reason my usual BL rating for 98% of series like this jumps from 7.5 to an 8, is that the cute/aegyo-style acting from both TeeTee and his friends wasn’t cringe at all. It felt natural, and I genuinely enjoyed it. Thats why it got +0.5.
Really looking forward to this simple, cute and happy 2 months journey.
If I'm not wrong,someone said (based on novel) that duang also popular at his campus too. so actually both duang…
whatever Duang is a goal. Loved it. Previous series it was other way around, and this is opposite, but Teetee can act and his aegoo acting was without cringe, that was huge plus.
