I finished this drama "Addicted" (apparently this was the actual name because that's what it translates to in Chinese) in 2 days, and this already is already too long on a 15 episode drama that is only 20 minutes long each episode. Apparently, this drama was forced to stop broadcast before all of its episodes were aired so the story stopped at episode 15 with a cliffhanger. The reason the drama was banned from China was because of its special laws and stuff but I've heard that the cast have decide to relocate to Taiwan and film Season 2 there as they won't be bound by the laws. The 2 main actors Timmy Xu and Johnny Huang are also unfortunately banned from photographed together in China.

Story:
I liked this drama way more than I thought. Although it was a drama of only 15 episodes, it was honestly way better than those which dragged on for 20 or so episodes. This just gets straight to the point and I enjoyed that. The story/plot is honestly amazing and this is the first drama I've watched that has involved homosexuality. I love how this drama shows us things that we could possibly relate to, families splitting up and fights ever so often. I really can't express my love for this drama in words, it is an absolute masterpiece.

Cast/Plot:
The 2 main actors Timmy Xu and Johnny Huang performed outstandingly. I personally don't know if they are straight or homosexual but they fitted into the role perfectly like they were made for it. In the drama, there were some intimate scenes involving both of them together and it is so well acted as you could feel the emotion and passion the 2 characters have for each other. It's really sad that the 2 actors cannot collaborate on a film made in China again.
The girlfriend of Gu Hai made me laugh because I saw in the comments that she looks like a man with a wig, and I'm not going to lie, she looked more and more like that as the story progressed.

Music:
I'm assuming that the theme song was sung by the 2 main actors cause it seemed like there was a duet going on. The music didn't particularly stand out to me but I guess I like it.

Rewatch value:
I personally would definitely rewatch because it is pretty short and this drama has a different "feel" to it compared to the other ones I've watched.

Overall, I recommend you watch this drama even if you don't really like romance or whatever because it is pretty short and if you didn't enjoy it you'll still probably finish it as the total time you would take to watch this would be about 5 hours. This drama also gets really funny and sweet so I really encourage you to give it a try if you haven't already!
