''Su Yu is mine.'' Bromance my foot.
I wanna start this review by saying that I was hesitant to watch this series all these years because of the people who described it as bromance. After watching all 24 episodes, there is nothing platonic about the relationship between the two male leads. Wu Bi literally says that Su Yu belongs to him in an attempt to keep the girl who was his past love interest away. The lack of make out sessions on screen does not make it a bromance, this is clearly a romance between two boys who found a home in each other and it is a beautiful story.
I am going to be honest,I was not fan of the original series ''addicted''. I can not quite put my finger on the reason why I was not able to get into it,but after watching this adaptation things became more clear. My main issue was the pacing, the storyline unfolded in such a natural way in this drama that it gave the necessary time for the viewer to get attached to the characters and get immersed in their story. However, the pace of the original was too rushed for my taste, too many things happened I was not able to digest them or understand how we went from point A to point B. However, the chemistry of the actors in the original was amazing, I was afraid the actors in this would not be able to match it, but they proved me wrong. In the end, the chemistry of the actors is what made me fall in love with the characters of Wu Bi and Su Yu. It was so natural and magical, it is impossible not to fall in love with them.
I am aware this adaptation does not really follow closely the novel it was based off like the original series,but I am more than happy with the changes they made. Somehow it worked better for me,the trope of found family and two lonely souls coming together and providing a sanctuary to one another will forever be one of my most favorite tropes and this is exactly what Wu Bi and Su Yu's relationship feels like—a sanctuary where they can be themselves lost in a world with just the two of them. Wu Bi has become one of my most favorite characters, the actor did a great job at portraying the though guy who is actually a softy but very protective and possessive,while the actor of Su Yu did an amazing job at portraying a person who seems distant but is actually very loving and shows it through actions. Their bond is so strong and touching, the lengths they would go to for each other proves that one is unable to live without the other. Wu Bi's undying devotion for Su Yu and Su Yu's profound emotions towards Wu Bi have the power to move you deeply. I was blown away by the warmth this show brought me . It is a shame that season 2 will never see the light of the day,knowing that Wu Bi and Su Yu's story is far from other. Despite the series ending on a cliffhanger, I recommend it without a second thought. ''Stay with me'' will forever stay in my heart.
