Hmmmm
I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this series. Some loved it, though I'm not sure why, and some hated it, though I'm not sure why. The acting was great. The storyline started out great, but just got confusing, and the ending wasn't even a real ending. I'm not sure if they were expecting to produce more episodes and just didn't, or if that's the way they truly intended to end the series. Does our psycho male lead go crazy? Yes he does. Does he sexually harass our innocent male lead repeatedly? Yes he does. But does our innocent make lead keep inviting him to stay with him and keep going to stay at our psycho's apartment? Yes he does. And when the relationship finally truly starts, who is it to initiate? That's right, it's always the quiet ones who surprise you. Because of the dive into confusion and the finality of complete wtf, I don't find this one rewatchable. But hey, at least the cast is attractive. Even the completely pointless brother who gets thrown in twords the end even though he adds absolutely no substance to the plot whatsoever.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
At first, I was hesitant, because I was used to Korean and Japanese dramas, so the language was a little startling to focus on, and I really didn't like the casting because I thought they looked quite ugly.
But I haven't currently found a drama like this since. There was definite chemistry and their relationship was built from the ground up instead of forcing insta-love. There were the usual cliche scenes but it worked to what it was trying to do with the story, so I didn't mind the cliches because I was too busy making googly eyes at the MC's relationship and their good acting.
The only reason I'm giving it a lower score is because it was unfinished due to China's censorship laws at the time of airing. The final episode ever shown on TV included quite a steamy kiss between the two men and upset a lot of people. The show was then canceled and suspended. It sucks because I know this would have been an amazing show.

The series is a work of art. The scene photography,the visuals.
The two main role made a history and as the series it's self.
It's so saddened that the series got banned at china but that didn'nt mean to stop you to watch the first season.

You can say all u want but this is the best BL
I don’t watch anything for the second time but I always come back to this.Bai luoying is smart if he feels uncomfortable or harassed by Guhai he could easily call the police but he doesn’t and for a specific reason and that is obviously becuz he wants Guhai near him. In China being gay is illegal dats why he pushes Guhai away and suppresses his feelings until he can’t anymore and u can clearly see he starts caring for him e.g helping GH wash the blood of his uniform.And if u believe that Guhai views Bailuoying as an object u r stupid ngl he’s possessive however he’s always there for BLY no matter what and cares for his emotional well-being.For those hating on this series I’m guessing u prolly like sweet cute BLs and this is clearly not that it’s real and raw.And for that reason it’s a unique BL and one of the best cuz it will push u out of ur comfort zone.U may not like the story but the acting is not bad at all,the acting doesn’t feel forced at all unlike some Thai bls sorry only some not all.

BORING
story- for a 15 episode story this drama sure took a lot of time to even develop a LITTLE BIT, emphasis on little because although they have alot of episodes to work on developing the plot nothing much really happened.acting/cast- the normal scenes the actors acted fine but with the dramatic ones you can see that they still lack the experience, well they were relatively new during this time so it's kind of understandable. for the leads they actually looked good together so the cast is fine as well.
music- nothing sort of memorable
rewatch value- considering that this series wasn't even that long (based on total hours) but felt so long because of the very slow plot development i don't think this is even rewatchable
overall: kind of sad that this was banned and the actors were banned from being together again :( a season 2 could have made things a lot better, the discrimination in china is so bad i can't, i'm sad for the leads because they seemed really close off cam

Release those last 3 ep that's the reason why i gave 9 to story
STORY : The story is perfect?. Not everyone have gullible or sweet love ( it doesn't mean I'm supporting a toxic relationship). They're just 17 slowly slowly they'll sort out the things. I only gave 9.5 points to the story because i want those last 3 ep.. PERIOD ??ACTING : I love their acting so much... Like that they act so professionally and naturally that anyone could hardly guess it's actually their first work... Kudos to the Timmy and Johnny and all the cast....
MUSIC : Simplicity is beautiful and the ost of Addicted have prove it... Music is not so fancy it's simple and Heart touching and the lyrics are also simple yet powerful... Oh god i love it...
REWATCH : Of course sure.... Every 2 to 3 days
OVERALL : AMAZING ( ✧Д✧) YES!!............ It's addicted......

The main one, without spoiling too much, is that the consent is a bit sketchy, and it took me a minute to figure out whether both of them were really into this. After I read the book, I understood the characters more, but I think shows should be able to stand on their own without prior knowledge, especially when the book is so hard to get ahold of~
I agree with their chemistry--it's no joke, honestly--but their emotions and feelings don't line up for the longest time in my opinion.
The ending is a bit of a letdown, but I primarily blame China for that because it's clear that this should have had another season (the book is SO LONG, my dudes), but still: cliffhangers are never fun~
Also, like, don't kidnap your crush and tie them to a bed, okay, kids? It's not okay. I promise. (And they just completely ignored that part, in both the books and the show, so there's that).

I’ll never forget this
It has a very beautiful plot. It deserves a sequel, but we all know why it won’t happen.Luckily, we’re now getting an adaptation of this gem on July 7, with a different title “Stay with me”. I’ll give it a chance, though I still prefer the OG cast. I’m confident that if they were to continue the story now, everything will be leveled up already, and it would make it on top BLs of history. It really saddens me that we’re not gonna get it anymore.
I think one of the best charms of this drama, aside from its story, is the similarities of the main leads. Their visuals, their aura, built and physique. It’s rare that we get a couple that both gives Alpha vibe. And for some reason, it really worked well. I can’t even think of any couple that could pull it off the way they did. Normally, one has to ve shorter and softer now. (Which is still good, don’t get me wrong). I’m just saying that their chemistry, is really something else. It’s still incomparable even up to this date.
Given that this was way back in 2016, and I’ve just seen it today, I still like it. Despite seeing almost all BLs by now and having pretty high standards already, I still love the story, the characters and the setting.
Of course if I look at it right now, and be technical, there was really something they could’ve done better. But if I’m to look at it back then, I’d say that they really did good.
I got sad. I got happy. I got butterflies. I got anxious. I cared for the both of them and the side characters.
I just hope the main leads could work again together in the future. They already have a special place in my heart, and will never forget them and this drama.

What I thought and how I felt.
Ok, to be honest and all… If I could watch it again in a new life, I would. I did feel some mixed emotions in this drama, especially with the girl. I was also a little confused on what was happening, BUT!! It’s my fault because I literally skip the parts where I think is not important. Example: when the mom wanted to talk to her son. I still haven’t seen the whole thing on that part, but I still loved this series.Reason why I didn’t really like it was probably because they kept playing pranks with each other, but it was also funny.
I really liked this because it was funny and cute. Their friend or relationship is literally what I want. (Not literally)
Like I’m ever gonna get one ?.

A tale of an underdeveloped slow-burner :(
First of all I'd like to start by saying to the people online who put this drama on "spicy" lists...you were wrong for that and I'll never forgive you lolThe rare romantic scenes between Bai Luo Yin and Gu Hai were superficial and a little stiff. But I enjoyed their performances as actors. The plot is very much enemies to lovers/step brothers. But let it be warned, the show ends abruptly after episode 15
because it was banned by Chinese authorities in 2016, so .... yeah...there's that too to add to the misery.
The drama itself isn't bad, but it isn't good either. It's a very slow-burner type of story with not much going on. I had the feeling throughout the show that the dialog and plot weren't really well developed, but it does have its charms. However, the could have done so much more for the plot! A lot of miss opportunities to dig deeper in the story, but it was replaced with a lot of filler moments with awkward silence.
Is it worth the watch? Not really to be honest, unfortunately. If there isn't anything else on...sure, why not. But I was expecting way more because of the reviews I saw online....but now I really don't get the tiny hype. I feel like the censorship in China had a weight in the show's quality. There are so many incredible BLs out there to watch :)
