You gotta watch this BL series even if its only 15 epispdes!

So my degeneracy self watched this last night from 11pm to 5am in the morning because I heard from someone online that this series is controversial due to the Chinese government being restrictive on showing gay love on TV. I won't get into it so I'm gonna talk about how I felt about the series

I have to say, this Yaoi series was so moving like this is my 2nd live Chinese BL series to watch like the bois in this were spot on. I like how Gu Hai is the rich flirty mischievous lad who wants to get to know Luo Yun better. Luo Yun on the other hand is pretty much a tsundere from a working class background with his dad. They then find out later on that they are step brothers and it pretty much gives the relationship a boost so yeah I'm sure I don't need to know that there'll be definitely a happy ending to the series lol.

Even though the fight scenes were comically weak af, watching the whole 15 episodes was just worth it tho. I do wish I was able to see the uncut of the "hot" scenes but I couldn't find them, oh well.. You get the idea tho what's going on xD

Yup so that's all I have to say, I give this series 8/10 ^^

Addicted was So Hated by The Chinese Government!

I truly would love to see The Heavily Unedited Version of Addicted! Attempted Boy Love Rape! Really! ??

There truly must be a longer version of Addicted that makes sense! The truly annoying edited version of Addicted…makes for a truly hard watch! There are tons of plot holes! The Two Leads… Huang Jingyu and Xu Weizmann we’re very good when the story was all about their love/or hard to get! They Both had a Hard On for each other! I truly would love to see the Full Version of Addicted! Plus the Chinese Government Stepped in and would not show the last three??? Episodes. Plus the Two Male Leads were an overnight success and were constantly doing shows to promote Addicted and massive Interview Shows…and their own Popularity Grew overnight! Until the Officials, Major Dickheads Chinese put a stop to it all!

Maybe Someone will find the Complete Addicted TV Shows and post them on You Tube! Huang and Xu had tremendous Boys Love Vibes for one another! It truly was horrible how the Dickheads of the Chinese Government put a end to Boys Love..Addicted!

Wow- wonderful BL coming of age drama

This is a coming of age BL web series. I loved it. It had everything from the family drama, friendship issues, romance, discovering who you are and what you like. The relationship between Ye Linzi and his dad awww. The friendly reminder that being rich is not everything but having wonderful people who can warm your heart ?.

I especially loved the relationship between Gu Hai and Ye Linzi.

The contrasting ways they showed affection. Gu Hai was more extrovert in his adnavances but with YeLinze he was subtle and showed how much he loved Gu Hai in his actions. It was sweet to see him be the more vocal and express his feelings. I especially liked the way he was worried when he was waiting for Gauhai in ep 15. He woke up and Gu was not there and braved the cold to wait for him outside so he could catch the first glimpse of him returning. Awww there were so many heart warming moments in this drama.

The character development and acting was really good. This was about two young men who fell in love. Soundtrack was okay. Rewatch - Definitely. It’s short and sweet and does not drag which is very common in Chinese drama’s as they tend to be between 24 and 60 episodes. This was just the right pacing for this story.

Season 2 please come so we can explore the other blooming romance the drama with the parents when they find it etc.

I really loved this series. The cast worked very well with each others and it was not awkward acting. The actors who played Bai Lou Yin  and Gu Hai really portrayed the building relationship and how they started to discover each other and theirs feelings very well and I could really see them slowly changing. The side characters were acted very well to and complimented the main roles.
The story follows the same one as some of the first book.
The theme song is very beautiful and I think the person who wrote it must have read the books because the lyrics hint to some parts of the book/story.
I really recomend this and it has to be one of my favourite BLs. Sadly, if you do decide to watch this, you must know that there will not be a 2nd season. It cuts off in around about in the middle of book 1. They may have filmed it but it is not allowed to air because China banned it.
I first watched the web series and now I am on the 2nd book. I still love both and can continue to discover they story even if there is no season 2 and am satisfied with continuing the story with the books

SO AMAZING IT WAS BANNED

Bai Luo Yin's mom marries to Gu Hai's father. Both of them are disconnected from the parent as they feel a sense of betrayal from previous circumstances. Gu Hai antagonizes BLY during class but finds a way to get closer into his heart. Gu Hai refuses to go home as BLY's mom moves into the home, so he moves in with BLY, his father and his grandmother. This is where the amazing chemistry of the whole cast is displayed. BLY's careless, more so naive father immediately accepts Gu Hai as one of his own as he is sweet in his own way. At first the acting of BLY and GH is a bit cringe but still convincing. This awkwardness helps the show be even more realistic as they are still figuring themselves and their family situations out. It really does feel like you're watching a great friendship/romance of 2 boys develop in real time. The side characters are a great addition and makes you want more. Yang Meng and You Qi's interactions were beginning to get more intense, but we can never see it in full as it was banned before the rest of the episodes can come out. The slight comedic value Yang Meng has due to him being so pretty makes the show a bit more lighthearted. The cast and their acting made the story so much better and realistic. The OST is really soothing, like you are looking up at the night sky with a loved one, which BLY and Gu Hai does at least twice on the roof, making it all the more better. The show starts to feel a bit slow and gray from episodes 9-13 but it is still a plot builder nonetheless. All in all, this show will make you laugh, smile and feel like you've seen 2 loved ones and their family grow together for the better, a decent watch.

Summary: two students who did not know that they are actually step brothers. Bai Luo Yin is indifferent with his mother while Gu Hai hates his father. They became friends without knowing that they are actually somehow related-
this is very intense but SO cute. It had some scenes that made me go hmmm and I wish that Bai Luo Yin showed more signs of falling in love... Either way, you know why this BL is called “Addicted” :0
The acting and story line isn’t bad, it’s well done, and it’s the kind of BL you’ll carry with you for the rest of your years- Trust me

I was actually really surprised by this show. I knew about the ban going into this, and considering how strict the laws were, I wasn't really expecting a lot of intimate moments between the two main characters. So it surprised me that there were actually a few kisses and some allusions to them going even further.

I loved the first 10 episodes. The prank war had me giggling so much every episode, and the progression of the relationship seemed so organic and it was so much fun to watch. Things got kinda weird from episode 11 onwards though. There were definitely some non-con moments, but honestly I've learned by now it's kind of a common trope in BL, so I'm not unreasonably bothered by it. (Not sure what that really says about me as a person, but that's neither here nor there). But things seemed pretty choppy as far as the timeline goes. We don't really get to see Bai Luo Yin come around to Gu Hai. One moment he's completely against being anything more than friends (or step brothers) and the next moment he's teasing him, then against it again, then kissing him, and it was kind of confusing to me.

I think this show would have been better suited to 45 minute episode instead of 20 minute ones, but that's just a personal preference I have. I also hate that this ended on a cliffhanger I'll never know the conclusion to. Hopefully I can find a translated version of the book somewhere to get the answers I'm looking for.

I'm sure I'll rewatch this again in the future, but I'm not itching to do so nearly as much as some of the other BLs I've loved.

This drama got me hooked, I mean literary ADDICTED. I watched one of the review videos and she recommended this. I am glad I did. The frustrating thing is the editing, sometimes it felt like they just cut abruptly to the next scenes without any closure or correlation with the last conflicts. Also the soundtrack, they kept playing Brokeback Mountain OST, sometimes it's at the right moment. Sometimes it's just out of place. Though I understand they had budget difficulty.

The story though, very encaptivating. Also the chemistry between the main characters. One thing I hate about this series is how they portray women in general (the exes, the mother) it felt like women are the arch-enemy, the only one who is okay, the vendor lady but she didn't add much to the story.

My heart still aches they got banned and they cannot even on the same screen together anymore.

Heroin was one of the first BLs I watched and I remember that I liked it a lot at the time. What got me interested in this BL was OST which often uses tracks from the soundtrack to the acclaimed film Brokeback Mountain. I like the story very much even though it starts to get toxic the closer to its end. I like the cold and heavy tone we feel while watching and also the performance of the main actors and the parallel of wealth and poverty that is presented to us throughout the series. But even with so many compliments, I have to give a not so high score because of the rape scenes that are extremely unnecessary ...
