Story
For the storyline, this drma shows a two-sided relationship, which is not good and a good relationship between children and parents. Good relationship between Gu Hai and his father, and bad relationship between Bai Luo Yin with his mother. The drama also presents the love of the Son to his Father and Father to his Son. Really sweet. And the sweet, romantic, and "wild" relationship between Gu Hai and Luo Yin. I do not know how Gu Hai can love Luo Yin, perhaps out of curiosity about Luo Yin's poor life and want to help his and Luo Yin's genius who can remember anything in a single look. Gu Hai's kindness to help Luo Yin quietly is so sweet, Gu Hai's way to get Luo Yin to his attention is sweet. And the scene awaited by the fujoshi and fundashi is a nice bed and kiss scene, looks natural.
Act / Cast
For casts, it was the first time I saw them, and I fell in love with Xu WeiZhou and Huang Johnny they were really handsome and looked good for their first acting in a drama.
Music
Hero, a song from the Family of the Year makes me think of the drama It's Okay That's Love (Korea) really loves it. The opening song is very beautiful.
Rewatch
Pretty good if you want to watch sweet, romantic and "wild" BL dramas.

I absolutely love the chemistry between Timmy and Johnny they were able to pull off the characters and their feelings. The issue I have here is also in the novel which is the sexual assault scene. Yes they have grown from that but still that is very toxic and illegal. It isn’t something that should be taken lightly but again it’s a fanservice plotline. Though the ban on this show was upsetting and the fact that the actors aren’t allowed to be seen together. Very sad that China still has this issue.

I've never been so confused...
What a weird experience this was.First 10 episodes I'm sat here thinking: "Wow, this is amazing," only for it to turn into a massive trainwreck.
There's a lot a of great things to be said about the first ten episodes!
While I was expecting something a bit darker for some reason, instead of real hate to start off, it's childish and hilarious bickering. The two main leads have great chemistry and great acting. The story is interesting enough; I was even thinking that despite being a step-brother story, a trope that I hate, it wasn't bothering me at all because of how it's set up. It was easier to watch in part because it's not a tight-knit family, they don't get along so there's less stakes if they do want to be together. The soundtrack is great, it's non-invasive and not overused and when there is music, it's a really pleasant guitar or piano tune that I genuinely love.
And after episode 10... well... I actually have no words.
Gu Hai gets a personality transplant that even great chemistry can't fix. Up until this point, he was very overly affectionate but it was still somewhat palatable and funny, keeping in mind that for a BL made in 2016 I knew to be prepared to not let myself be bothered by the more problematic aspects. I can't even say that Luo Yin "looks" like he wants to run away because he absolutely does! He's so uncomfortable, even more than before, and it's just not possible to enjoy at that point. And honestly the story just stops making sense. The step-brother aspect never becomes relevant; we don't even get to really see anyone react.
I actually didn't know that it was censored until it actually is very obvious scenes were cut and after watching those scenes, oh boy, it's even worse than I could have possibly imagined.
That being said, the whole story behind the series, what happened to the sequel, and the actors being separated and struggling to find work after the ban is heartbreaking.

It’s A Travesty That This Series Remains Unfinished
This was one of my first bls and it set the bar really high for me in terms of bl actors being able to convey their characters and the believability of their characters through genuine and palpable chemistry. Although incomplete, this series has a lot of strengths. It reminds me of an indie production. It has a lot of heart, a lot of unpolished charm, a lot of likeable down to earth characters and a story that draws you in. There’s a reason why the leads have developed a cult following. They did so well in their roles.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
The Best BL Series in the World as of 2021!
I have started watching BL movies and series from many countries since 3 years ago. I have loved some of those made in Thailand (Love of Siam, Kiss Me Again, Together The Series), Taiwan (some HiStory series) and China (Addicted Heroin, Like Love). Few ones come also from the Philippines (Gameboys and Gaya sa Pelikula). So far, as of June 2021, this Addicted BL series that was made in China is still the best one ever!Cast and Acting. Superb. The two main leads played their roles excellently. I especially liked Gu Hai. I thought Huang justified best the character assigned to him. The support roles were also very good. Though the two looked much older from their classmates, I forgive the casting director for the great job overall.
Soundtrack. I have no words for the beautiful songs in the series. Did I say beautiful? That is it haha. You get even more immersed with the series and the story because of the unforgiving songs.
Cinematography, direction and editing weren't perfect but very good. Kudos to the makers of this series. You have done a great job! Still hoping that season 1 of this series will be completed soon!

Takdir mempertemukan kita
Addicted heroin 2016 merupakan sebuah BL asal china yang sangat menarik dan populer. Saking menarik dan luar biasanya, BL ini sampai di banned di negaranya sendiri sehingga season 2-nya tidak pernah di rilis, Padahal sebagian dari season 2 sudah dalam tahap pembuatan. BL ini menceritakan kisah seorang pria bernama Gu Hai yang kabur dari rumah dan memutuskan pindah sekolah ke sebuah sekolah biasa, padahal dia seorang anak orang kaya. Gu Hai kabur dari rumah karena tidak menerima kenyataan bahwa Ayahnya akan menikah lagi. Di sekolah yang baru, Gu Hai bertemu dengan seorang pria pintar bernama Bai Luoyin, Gu Hai perlahan tertarik padanya. Kenyataan yang sebenarnya adalah bahwa Ayah Guhai ternyata menikahi Ibu Bai Luoyin, mereka berdua tapi tidak tahu tentang kebenaran ini, seiring dengan berjalannya cerita, mereka saling dekat dan menjadi saling mencintai dan menyayangi, bagaimana kisah mereka selanjutnya? Saksikan sendiri series ini ya! saya sangat merekomendasikan series ini untuk para BL lovers pemula maupun veteran. BL ini banyak mengangkat tentang "denial, tahapan mengakui perasaan diri sendiri".Esta resenha foi útil para você?

I like how natural the 2 boys acting that melts me away with the story. Especially Xu Wei Zhou (Bai Luo Yin), I love his act and in addition he's so cute that made me fantasize the whole story I watched.
I'm just too exited that I watched the whole 15 episodes in one night and now waited for the next season! :D

Acting/Cast: The acting was amazing there is nothing to really complain about here. All the actors did their parts and acted them out super well. They each portrayed their character the way it was intended. I really felt the relationship between Gu Hai and Luo Yin. The way Gu Hai felt when Luo Yin acted a certain way. The times they were there for each other. It really made me feel that they were actually in love. Not just in the series but even outside.I do have to say that i could hear the machine that makes the rain during one of the scenes but not many people would have noticed that. In fact most people probably thought the rain was real. To me that's kind of a big deal but nothing i could take points off for.
Music: The music was to die for. The opening song makes me teary eyed. Not to mention the upbeat music played throughout the series. I might be biased to this but i really love a good violin or piano so when they played those the scenes just became 10 times better. Not to mention the cute songs sung by Bai Luo Yin (well not sung by him just that he sang them during the series) and how they used that song to create an emotional connection between the two main characters.
Re-watch Value: If you are ok with the fact that there is no season 2 then i would definitely recommend watching this again. I try not to because it makes me sad that they left it off where it was expecting to continue with a season 2 but it got shut down by the Chinese government. which is the reason i gave it a lower re-watch value. If you do decide to watch it i recommend watching it around December or late November because you can really feel the cold and the season as the episodes progress. Also if you can watch it with someone else. Maybe even someone special. If you don't plan on stealing the cute lines from this series and using them on your significant other.
TLDR: very good series. Music is cute. Acting is amazing. Re-watch if you like happiness followed by depression due to a shut down season 2.

Sadly for the series and the actors themselves, the Chinese decided to ban the filming of the series and including seeing the two actors together. Talk about ultimate bigotry.
Nonetheless, I recommend to watch this series. You will definitely be hooked. :D

What in the Cliffhanger!?
The ending is such a cliffhanger, and after reading through the comments China restricted the remaining episode release or something like that - guess it was too steamy for them. This show is good despite that, and there's some character development. All in All a good watch.Between these two male leads sparks friendship and they learn a lot about themselves and each other during this time. It is hilarious to see just how forward/blunt the male lead is to the other male lead. It is quite refreshing.
Just know that you do not get any answers to how their relationship ends, but you get to see the beginning and the early lovey-dovey stages - its really good for the soul lol. I was told to read the fanfiction that this story was developed from because it gives you closure to this entire show, and apparently it is A LOT MOREE DETAILED than the series, for obvious reasons! I will have to definitely read that when I have a chance.
