I haven’t watched Addicted (whatever aired of it). The plot is a bit all over the place for this show, and the…
The original Chinese Addicted is not to be missed because it was the first big BL internationally and because of what happened (censorship by the Chinese Government who stopped production at ep 16, Johnny and Timmy, the 2 leads, were blacklisted for a year by the government - no one was allowed to interview them or hire them, the actors struggled but fans sent them gifts of money and food to support them for the year, that's what their series meant to many) it was loved because of the chemistry of the leads. It is currently available on Viki and iQiYi- possibly other platforms but I know it's on these 2 for sure. Although there were remakes of Addicted (Addicted Heroin from Thailand although the Thai character names take away the Heroin part. In Chinese the 2 characters were Gu Hai and Bai Luoyin - when you put their first names together [HaiLuoyin] you get the heroin sound and their love addiction. Stay With Me from Taiwan -was very good), the original is still something special and worth the watch. The book series has always been available. I wished Johnny and Timmy were there for the final episode of Love After Addiction but after what they went through and the fact they are both successful actors in China now. I understand not wanting to risk it.
I rewatch this series maybe once a year. I love this cast and it's my favorite of the HIStory series. It does have an element which some people can't handle (and it wasn't romanticized, one half of the couple had trouble dealing with it) but for me, fiction is fiction. A lot happens in fictional worlds that would not be acceptable IRL and knowing that is important.
I wanted to rewatch this. Although I was upset for Pin Jun, it's one of those shows that for the next few years you remember every so often. But where can I watch it now? It's not on the platform I first saw it on.
JoongDunk have amazing chemistry in all of their series which is why we love them. Sadly, this series had awful writing, and although the cast did their best, of all the JD series to put on Netflix to show the world how amazing they are, this series was the wrong choice. It would have been better to give Netflix The Heart Killers.
I watched until the end to support the actors who did a good job. The writing was atrocious. 1. The reveal that Than was not the father took way too many episodes to arrive. 2. The side couple and killing Don off, great for emotional impact but as they had a more interesting storyline, just wrong. 3. Even though they are married, I doubt Than and Kin will last. Kin constant distrusted Than (ant bite, sleep over to work on project, pregnancy issue). Sure he can say his friends convinced him to Ghost Than but he was the one always suspecting Than of cheating . We finally get the reveal that Than isn't the father (we all saw that coming) and all Than says is, "Why didn't you just ask me?" No way an actual human being, totally in love for years with their partner, comes home to discover he's left the country without explanation and is unreachable, finally learns his partner not only thought he cheated but also thought he lacked the integrity to step up and take responsibility for the child. Kin has low self-esteem and trust issues, so these characters won't last together. Again, the cast and crew did a great job. This was better than the Renovation so hopefully they'll get a better written series next time.

Not for specific shows that I know of. Of course, Domundi has its Gen 5 reality show for picking ship partners going on RN on iQiYi (DMD Friendship The Reality the 3rd Chapter)
Absolutely loved this! Nut was perfection in this role, and I laughed so hard at so many parts, especially the fire walk😄 I wish the side couple had actually become a side couple but... Ping was great, I will miss this series. I love that it became Thoey land and This is Me is their national anthem🤣💖
i loved this, truly i did, even the over-the-top parts, cuz they made me laugh, but what about Prince in the future…
I wondered about that as well. when the soul of original Worradej disintegrated I wondered, did he leave for the future or just end his existence? He didn't try to stop Prince from staying with Kosol so I couldn't be sure .
