Addicted Heroin

It is not very ' in your face ' type bl , it's soft , light hearted .....left me wanting for more . Episodes felt shorter . So sad we can't get a season two . In many scenes I could feel a connection with those characters , and that's the best part of all of it The reason I gave it 8 and not 10 is .. Da hai ( if I name correctly ) in some moments felt pretensious .some scenes were totally wrong yet it ended well , which some could argue HOW ! ...

An absolute beautiful story of friendship, romance, family, and love and how you can find that one person that can become and give you all of the above.

I don't watch Chinese BL, but Addicted is my one exception. It harnesses a story that is so deep and so real, but also so very magical. I just so happen to enjoy a love story that involves at least a passionate kiss, which is why I avoid Chinese BL, because most often, due to rigid standards, that is not included in the packaging. But Addicted is a stand-out in the fact that it portrayed a very real concept of a blooming love with its own interesting concept of family intercepting with romance and how love can find that crack in the cement to grow from. Addicted is, in and of itself, that tiny sprout that found the sun to grow in even the darkest and harshest of environments.

Bravo to every single person who made this show and didn't hold back to let viewers behold such a passionate love. It's honestly a travesty that a season 2 of this series, with the same cast, will never see the light of day. But it's also a frickin incredible feat that this series even aired as many episodes as it did before it had the plug pulled. Even still, here we are, seven years later, and China disallows same-sex kissing on screen. But no matter any of that, Addicted exists and is loved by so many, including me, because it spits in the eye of every dinosaur out there that would prefer to pretend that love has to be held within certain gender specifics.

This is a beautifully acted, well-done, incredibly wonderful story of two Chinese men who found love, regardless of familial and societal standards, and overcame their hardships, misunderstandings, and seemingly insurmountable odds to give the care and adoration that they so greatly needed, and receive the love that only the other can give, in a setting that made it all feel so very natural and real.

Really iam telling that iam about to cry the last 15th episode was unclear and this show got banned and the two actors are not allowed to see each other in public i dont know china is this much conservative and so poor in being open mined swear to god iam never going to see any bls from china China is the worst country that you can even ask for But wtever addicted is goodand didnt get the ending feeling sorry for you guys this show and its team deserved more than this but they are in China thats bad

I found this mini-series on imdb via "People who liked this also liked...". I looked it up on Wikipedia and it says "web series", so I guess the only way to watch this is on You-tube or related sites. I was a bit sceptical and did not expect much of it. However, I was very nicely surprised. First I have to say that neither Mandarin nor English is my native language and I had to make do with spoken Mandarin and rather poorly translated subtitles which disappeared very fast, so I may have missed many of the details of the dialogues. This series is almost exclusively about the rather special relationship between the handsome main characters Luo Yin and Gu Hai. They are related through Luo's mother and Gu's Father who, after both divorces, began a new relationship, but the lads do not know that. Luo is rather poor and Gu is wealthy. The two meet in school and in the beginning Gu is bullying Luo, but as the series proceed this stops and Gu gets more and more obsessed to Luo. It's an extraordinary combination of love and power. The constant attempts of Gu to conquer Luo and the sometimes faint resistances of Luo are very touching. The secondary characters are mostly decent as well, but Luo (Timmy Xu) en Gu (Johnny Huang) really make this series. It certainly has its downsides as well. Especially the music was a little inconvenient from time to time. Sometimes, for some reason I had to think of the computer game the Sims. Also, the frequent score of Brokeback Mountain was not in its place. Only the song of Twinbed in one of the final episodes was completely in its place. From time to time there were some scenes where I had a little doubts. Things like in class where Luo is sleeping constantly and the teacher doesn't say anything about it. But that did not bother me much at all. According to the info I have read on the internet this series has been cancelled and banned in China and the actors have been banned to do any future acting. This really is a sad fact and proves that there is still a lot of discrimination in the world. A few scenes were also censored (Can't understand why at all), but you can watch them separately on You-Tube. There are 15 episodes and I have enjoyed all of them. It has its flaws, but the main characters (and many other actors) are playing so well that I can easily forgive all of this. 8/10 for this unique series.

I went into this drama without realising that it was cancelled at episode 15 because the Chinese government thought that it was not suitable for consumption I am now sitting with tears in my eyes because I will never know how this BL ends and I'm not okay with that .. I wish I knew that it was cancelled before I watched it but what I have watched has been pure entertainment it's been one of my favourites so far and definitely deserves 10 out of 10 but I wish it had a proper ending because I'm very much unfulfilled.
