We all want season 2, they must give it to us by hook or crook, if not, let them prepare themselves for the 2024 Addicted Revolution where we shall storm the Internet and sing the Marseillaise
ikr lol. not BL drama, but I wanted more Bromance or BL relationship lol
U gat me, for a moment there I loved the steamy scenes btn Joo Hyuk and Jun Hyuk, poor self righteous guy with rich show off guy, I couldn't stop having ideas of the perfect hotheaded BL couple, man the ship was already sailing hard for me.🥰🥰
What are u expecting from two high school boys who lived in the era of around 2000 in the asian country??? Please…
Sori to barge in but I just read thru all ur messages.
First and Foremost, STAY WITH ME isn't the perfect BL DRAMA but I guess the reason it was my favourite was because It felt real to me and of course the whole painting is ue can not just express love thru sex, even feelings, actions of care can do that.
I love China as a country but hate the notion of BL and GL censorship in film and media.
I would say I understand where ur both coming from, I am From UGANDA where I am not allowed to be gay in any means whatsoever which makes me hate it as a country, however, we are not as tied down so some things ue can do like dress anyhowly but there are still restraints.
I wanna belong to a country like S.KOREA but I'm wary of racism and I wouldn't want to enlist in the military in fulfilment of a national law. Besides, the Korean government might not discriminate about gay people serving in the military but gay activity of any kind is prohibited as of now.
TAIWAN and THAILAND in my perspective would be the best countries to LIVE ur life as a GAY PERSON in ASIA while S.KOREA shows some signs of progress, LOL, I even want to be a KPOP IDOL.
Who beats the US at being FREE in the whole world, no one.
Anyway, let's get away from that, long story short, we don't get to decide the way we are born or the countries we are born into on one hand, on the other, some things and beliefs we might cherish only because we are made to love them or be otherwise because of the same.
UGANDA being anti-gay and apparently claiming it to be the pure notion of perfect Christianity disgusts me, I hate it by the way. I was raised to hate myself for being gay because it is "the Devil's influence" and its "demons over my head" so apparently by the time I AM GAY there is "SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME." Christianity, Islam, or whatever Religion has been manifested more as a list of Rules and Regulations which are aimed to create the perfect world the Religion wants and which world is this "RESPECTING THOSE IN POWER EVEN IF THEY ARE IN WRONG BECAUSE ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY COMES FROM GOD SO DICTATORS ARE EXPLOITING THE ISSUE, secondly DO NOT EXPRESS YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU'LL BRING DISORDER AND WE DON'T WANNA SEE THAT SO WOMEN AND MEN DRESS LIKE........, thirdly EVERYTHING THAT DOES NOT ABIDE BY OUR PRINCIPLES IS SIN WHICH SIN MUST BE PUNISHED EVEN BRUTALLY IF POSSIBLE, fourthly, RELIGION KNOWS BEST, FOR EVERYTHING."
In respect of every religion, it is supposed to be a personal relationship between ue and your God whom you worship and serve and believe in and not something ue do because ur Brought up to believe it is what ue must do.
Different things make people happy and everyone prefers a constitution that conforms to the changes within their society moreso for their own good which is not decided in respect of the vision of ruling governments and institutions but rather takes into consideration the feelings of an individual big or small.
Christianity has false prophets so that means every other religion can also have them, as a Christian who is non-conformist to the Rigid Ugandan Christian standard of Legislated and Regulated code of conduct but is instead embracing it as a personal relationship between me and my God, I know my God doesn't hate me for being GAY and whether gay or str8 I am made in his image so for someone to think I am lesser than an animal because I am GAY it's their own stunted vision.
JESUS was the SAVIOUR of all people, that is RAPISTS, THIEVES, CHEATERS, THE RICH, KINGS, GAY PEOPLE, LEPERS because he was poured out for the whole world and his sacrifice was to be for every man regardless of gender, sex, denomination, race, colour and religion, that was HIS LOVE, that was HIS SERVICE, and the fact that he fulfilled it because he believed that whether as a prostitute or an LGBTQ person, we are all worth dying for.
There were moments in the BIBLE I could have felt were Queer, take into account the story of DAVID and JONATHAN, the son of SAUL who was his enemy, their affection was so deep but it is in fact written that they kissed........and DAVID was the man closest to the HEART OF GOD that he even danced for him until he became naked in the process even as a KING. He had a personal relationship with his GOD which he cared for deeply and even if he committed adultery, the loving Lord forgave him. CAIN killed his brother but the Lord put a mark on him which protected him from harm, he lived for hundreds of years and even built a City.
Different Christian denominations exist only to divide Christians and even blur the true meaning of Christianity turning it into a Cult when it is supposed to be a Relationship btn an individual and their God.
I am not in support of Islam but also this isn't out of bias.
What Christianity condemns as SIN isn't determined by laws, if ue realised, the TEN COMMANDMENTS given to Moses encompass everything evil in the world.
1. An IDOL can be anything you respect or worship or even love more than ur God. 2. Stealing, Admiring, the list is long. In none of the commandments is being GAY IMMORAL.
Everyone is quick to say that the reason SODOM and GOMORRAH were destroyed by the Lord was because they had GAYS but if you revise ur BIBLE and that is a translation that hasn't been biased, they were punished for being IMMORAL which IMMORALITY at the time included.
1. Idolatry 2. Fornication 3. Rape 4. Defilement 5. Prostitution 6. Adultery 7. Bestiality. which in no case points at GAY RELATIONSHIPS in particular.
MARRIAGE is an institution SET APART by GOD and blessed in which there is a SPIRITUAL UNION of TWO SOULS into ONE..........
These words have remained unchanged but people have interpreted them to us differently and we've been carried away by that, and our ancestors passed on these interpretations to us so we go on with them until we reach the hour of self-realisation which is very personal.
Ue admire ISLAM because you were TAUGHT to like it and ue didn't wake up one morning and be like oh, I listened to it, found it interesting and picked it up as a religion, In fact, I wouldn't doubt ur passion if ue were raised as a Hindu but then converted to Islam, it means ue became a Muslim by choice of affiliation and not because you were brought up to become one.
WHAT DOES PROPHET MUHAMMED SAY? "The Quran is Holy and if anyone comes to you and speaks in its name, for as LONG as it is his COMPASS ue shall follow him."
WHAT DOES THE QURAN PROMISE? The Coming of the Madhi. A Divine likeness of Immortal perfection, purity and Holiness and of course his return can't be to a world that is filthy therefore every Muslim must take it upon himself to cleanse the world in preparation for the Madhi's return.
Wars have been waged, the so called JIHADS in the name of this, the Islamic doctrine creates an empire which fights to convert people, not to defend himself.
But Jesus sent out 12 disciples to the Corners of the world, he didn't order them to build forts, he didn't order them to create armies, he didn't order them to wage Wars, he ordered them to preach a Gospel.
They died inhumane deaths because of it, but they preached a tale of love that surpasses mortal understandings, preached that Salvation is personal and not a Universal understanding of things, they preached that GOD is personal and not a UNIVERSAL ICON of religions, beliefs and DOCTRINES.
I am not a supporter of Islam but that doesn't mean I hate it, I look to Christianity as my personal relationship with God, I don't love or belong to it as a Religion. Overall to believe on my part, to worship, to abide and to love is not because I have been brought up to feel obliged to do so anymore, it is because after wandering here and there and questioning over and over I was led to search and find anew, I exposed myself and decided what was best for me without taking into account third parties and other external influences.
You can't defend a religion by giving the reasons of other people for it's validity or justifying the actions of those in it, you can only defend it as ur relationship with God by giving your own reasons, understanding and justifying your actions in it otherwise you are belonging to something you do not know or comprehend.
I am not against anyone on this but was just providing my insight, this is not Racism, not nepotism or favouritism.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF RELIGION EMBRACES HATRED and even if we must HATE WE must HATE that which is EVIL. But Good and Evil can not be determined solely by we human beings because we have inclinations and Biases that is why GOD exists as the PERFECT JUDGE because the MORTAL UNDERSTANDING OF GOOD AND EVIL is determined by societies we live in and these have varying beliefs. Here in UGANDA we even have a tribe that believes FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION is GOOD when SCIENTIFICALLY it is an evil that is why we might not agree on some things but we can only express ourselves when we can.
I am from a country where I can not be proud to be GAY because even my family was taught to HATE it so I'll just spend most of my days, locked up in my room, talking to people who LOVE BL SERIES, miles and countries away as a form of comfort while hoping that one day I'll leave and become part of a country that can tolerate that side of Mine, I'll be making 21 years this year so life will go on. But at the end of it all, I know I HAVE A GOD WHO LOVES ME FOR ME, WHO PROMISED TO NEVER LEAVE ME OR FORSAKE ME EVEN WHEN I AM GAY OR STR8. I only have to give him control of everything that burdens me and guess what, I'LL BE FREE, NOT STRUGGLING TO BEAR A GRUDGE ON SOME PEOPLE but LOVING REGARDLESS which will make me BECOME LIKE HIM since GOD IS LOVE and GENDER IS NOT LOVE.
Sori once again for the late submission as i just saw this and felt it was worth talking about.
Love you both BTW.
AND @etoks21 as a GAY DAD, I love and Im happy for you and might expect to get some good advice from ue as a fellow GAY DAD 5 to 10 years from now.
Is it true there will be no season 2? I couldn't fimd any comfirmarion....
Apparently, I just learnt like 2 days ago that CHA JI DAN, the writer of ADDICTED sold this thing or something to another company that will sorta make it there own story kinda.
So Apparently we wont be seeing Xu Bin and Zhang Jiong Min as Wu Bi and Su Yu ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
However, Thailand announced the final cast of the Series in their own adaptation of ADDICTED and I am not a favourite of the faces, its on the Line Up of series set to air this year in 2024, the good thing with Thai's is they have got a good storyline development but I am worried because at times their script writing can be bogus.
Anyway as a fan who had STAY WITH ME as their favourite BL for 2023, I am heartbroken to hear this so I'll console myself by looking forward to the THAI ADAPTATION
Bingewatched the drama in a day and honestly guys, I dunno if its just me but I need Joo Hyuk and Joon Hyuk in a BL DRAMA cuz their cat mouse bromance nailed it.
Billy has always been bulky. In 2020, when we were guessing who they hired for IDF, he was one of the favorites…
I don't feel offended about the Fujoshi thing anyway, but I suppose I do understand where ur coming from especially in regards to the BL INDUSTRY. Some pipo of course get involved because the BL roles make money and it makes them popular even if they are str8 and others of course use it as a way of feeling more acceptable in society for their sexuality.
It's an unfair world we live in but we try to keep wishing it'll become fair. Everyone is entitled to their opinions on things, privacy in life especially when it comes to relationships even celebrities who live in fear.
At the end of it all, love is a personal feeling between two people regardless of the presence or absence of third parties and I respect that, also it is a way of me saying that if they were a thing I would be 100% ok with it and the same would apply if they weren't.
Gay or str8 I just personally adore those actors along with other actors regardless of the roles they play, because they are just pipo who go thru gud and bad times like me and anyone else, they also need to love and feel loved and they also have dreams and hopes like we all do.
