You're welcome. Season 2 is pretty much 3 shows (happening mostly after season 1) stitched together and each part can be watched as standalone (but they are happening in the same universe and are loosely connected)
Season 1 was one show with both pairs having their stories together intersecting with each other (North/Johan took a couple of episodes to start, but they kinda stole the show after that)

Season 1 is chronologically first with Ter/Hill and North/Johan. Their stories are told alongside of each other.
Season 2:
Typhoon/Tonfah story starts during season 1 timeline wise, but it quickly progresses past it.
Arthit/Daotok story is firmly after season 1 (and somewhat after Typhoon's story or during late parts of it).
Tiger/Nao - no idea yet (might also start in late season 1, since they were teased there alongside Typhoon)

Show itself is quite weak, but chemistry (and Pavel's acting) is carrying it pretty hard

There are flashbacks to some of their scenes in Addicted and they talk about their shared past, but relationship itself is build as a new one. You don't even have to watch Addicted to get this drama

Kinda. It's 10 years timeskip and focus on the 2nd couple from Addicted

Nah, it's just a flavor of enjoyable blandness. There is nothing particulary great about this show (and has some noticable flaws), but it is cute enough to watch it, turn your brain off and just vibe

Pretty fun and with potential, but way too short to develop properly

That series is one of those, where everything works very well with each other and is very enjoyable... except the plot. The plot hinges on induced stupidity and characters not questioning things around them + it's very predictable. It's a bad sign, when supernatural show's story demands more suspension of disbelief than actual supernatural setting.

8/10 for acting, chemistry and overall experiece
6/10 for the plot

Ngl, 8+ rating for this show is kind of surprising and way too generous. Just finished it and honestly 6 is all would give it

I would say it's probably one of the best bl dramas of the year, but prepare for a lot of angst

You're in for a wild ride then

Because they do it in Thailand. Pretty much all of chinese BL dramas are made by chinese people but outside of China itself (to avoid censorship) - ABO desire for example was filmed mostly in Tawan and Hong Kong

There are exceptions (I believe Revenged Love was filmed near Shanghai), but there are nuances to that as well

I honestly dont understand why people here are bending backwards to somewhat make YSL into the toxic one. He didn't really do anything out of line at any point given the circumstances. I wonder if it's just because they want to headcanon toxic x toxic male leads or something.

Oh boy, he will suffer alright. To quote George Carlin "It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat" hah

Likely to signify difference in age and maturity between them. Gege is still somewhat "equal footing"

It may be just phrasing. Context is very important with certain chinese words. "Uncle/Aunt" can be used just for someone older that you respect - not strictly a family member.
