Both leads can't act, especially Yiran... Ok, another troll I guess.

I love your sassy mouth, girl 🤭🤭🤭

Mixed reviews? Overall, the reviews are almost entirely positive, because the series really excels at what it’s trying to do. The acting and production quality are not something you usually see in BL, especially from China. Apart from a few trolls and maybe five or six people who can’t tell fiction from real life, I honestly don’t know what else you saw besides good comments about the show. It’s very toxic and very dark, so if that’s not your thing and you think it might affect you negatively, it’s better not to watch it. In my opinion, it's a same for every bl fan to miss this masterpiece

Me neither, sis 😭
I think for now I’ll rewatch some of my favorite BLs until something worthy comes out, or until I get over these boys a bit 😭

On episode 3, it’s still too early to judge, and no one is applauding FX’s actions or behavior.
The show has high ratings because it’s extremely well made for its genre in every way, from the performances and chemistry to the directing, and because it has a very distinctive story.
Of course, it’s not for everyone. It’s intense and plays heavily with the viewers’ psychology and emotions, so not everyone can handle it.
But most importantly, it’s fiction. I really hope we can finally stop confusing TV shows with real life. We’re all adults watching this. It shouldn’t be that hard to separate the two.

He's not, he's just toying him at first, because he's an ass and wants to prove that Shu Lang is not as good and perfect as he seems on the surface.

Probably 😅

I don't see any similarities. They're two completely different shows.

Seriously, if you like dark romance, don't miss this one, it's a gem 💛

Well, that's why we all coming back here to comment and suffer together until the special comes out 😭

Definitely less than ABO Desire 😅

Yeah, that's why I'm replying to your comment. I was just wondering why you keep changing your rating instead of waiting until you finish the series, when you'll have a better overall opinion.

I read some chapters from book 1 and is the same translation I read years before 😭
From the same girls that had it on wattpad, may the Buddha bless them with snake fights for ever 🙏🙏🙏

We're here girl, tell as all about it 😉

If they release the remaining episodes of addicted, I would die! Also, I found both books translated, and the translation is pretty decent. If you want, I can send them to you! I’m thinking of rereading them just to keep myself distracted until the special episode 😭

I hear you, but unfortunately not everyone's thinking that way. Personally I prefer to rate after I finish a show, and I rarely rate something I don’t like, especially if it’s well-directed and has good actors, even if the story wasn’t really my taste.

Exactly! I said it before, this series isn't for everyone! It has so much depth for some people to understand the show and enjoyed it.

Or, you can rate when you'll finish the series. As you said, at this moment, you haven't watched all the episodes yet. And it would be a same to drop the series now.

I consider it to be much more toxic than the two series you mentioned earlier, just in a different way. I can't compare them, this series has much more depth. It may even be the darkest romance I’ve personally ever seen. There is redemption, though. If you don’t like this kind of genre, I would suggest not wasting your time on it, it will weigh on you heavily and make you angry. It’s a series that plays intensely with the psychological world of its characters, and, along with that, with our own.
However, if you think you can handle it, you won’t regret it, if only for the emotional rollercoaster you’ll experience. It’s one of those series that stay with you, and for me it’s worth it beyond words.
That said, I don’t think it’s a series for everyone, not everyone can handle it.
