it makes people feel very uncomfortable since this series is based on a novel that is extremely mature with non con sex

its not pornography but suggestive. The actor is too young to consent so they had to get the parents to consent for him. It makes me very uncomfortable

its not two 17 year olds though is it.

the chance of fame makes people do crazy things, who knows what will happen.

people are upset in this comment section including myself knowing that this young actor is likely doing things with an adult that he is not ready for and could even be manipulated etc by the production team. He is a child after all, the brain doesn't mature till mid 20s. and he's acting with an adult almost 30. The acting scene has long been known for producing child actors who became mentally unwell due to their treatment on set etc.

having sex at 16 is fine if both are 16. Theres nothing too much legally wrong there. The director and actor August should have known better to agree to act alongside a child and kiss and who knows what else, this series will involve looking at the source material. people are upset in this comment section including myself knowing that this young actor is likely doing things with an adult that he is not ready for and could even be manipulated etc by the production team.

When he gets older he will most likely look back on this negatively especially if anything happened to him whilst filming. This director is known for casting young boys in drama such as hit bite love etc with very mature themes. something is wrong here.

you would kiss a child? imma be sick

this whole show is not it

that is disturbing

exactly this director is not it

I couldn't imagine kissing a 16 year old as an adult that's completely messed up and id be arrested in my county. There is no way i could watch and think its ok. when i was 16 i was an immature child, there's no way this is good for him.

it dosen't matter what the age of consent is, its weird and creeps me out it is happening. Its immoral

i'm not American and parents consent dosn't mean much. stop trying to justify this disgusting casting choice by this company. do you like childxadult then??

i really hope you are right about softening it up otherwise i'm very concerned for the young actor.

hmm lol i suppose it could go crazy as it goes on

im gonna try this one, i like dramas with this theming

its not the acted non con thats the issue. its the acted non con and skinship with adultxchild thats the problem. non con is in many mature dramas but not with children involved as an actor. Even though its acting the actors still have to touch and kiss.

its fine to have soft and fluffy BLs with very limited skinship if both leads are 16 (except thats totally not my preference as an adult and still makes me uncomfortable). Mature dramas such as this one need mature actors in both roles, not this messed up pairing.

I don't think its worth trying to redeem this mess. The company knew full well what they were doing casting a child in an adult role. Most BLs have lead actors around the age of 20 and up. The company needs looking into its very alarming. Addicted is known for being an intense and mature story.
