I enjoyed the chemistry between ZiTong and YuZhen much more in this one episode than between YuZhen and ShiLei for the whole series. That's bad because by the end of this episode, I just wished the entire series would have been about ZT and YZ's relationship instead of YZ/SL. :( Sure, we would have gotten a terribly sad ending, but it still probably would have been a better series. ZT/YZ's relationship seemed so much more mature. Watching ZT and SL even after they got together in the end still feels like a high school/college couple.

I really wish the special episode would have gone a different direction and given more info about YZ/SL's happily ever after. If for no other reason than for me to not have this bitter feeling of having been able to watch a whole series about ZT and YZ.

Yeah, I saw that. They could be the reason, but man, what a missed opportunity.

Watched the teaser and it looks like I might like it. I must say though (and no offense to Suar or his fans, even I loved him in You Never Eat Alone), but it REALLY would have been nice to see Tae paired with Chap (Y-Destiny) again.

Until now, I've never thought of Jimmy as being a 'bad' actor, but it seems like all the other actors in this series are a lot stronger than he is.

I don't understand is how King didn't get punched in the face by Leo or a penalty from the referees. I like Leo's character for his strength, but like he said, he felt and looked weak...and it showed, but I don't get why. He totally could've kicked his a** at some point and he was definitely angry enough to want to do it. lol

Something about the Mother Theresa of Slutsville thing. lol but I get you now. No worries.

Around ep 9, covid strikes behind the scenes, so not all the original actors are able to come back. The lead 'Cupid' disappears and another dude, with the same name, but nothing to do with the original guy shows up and the finishes the series in a coincidental 'happily ever after', but you're left with a feeling of "wtf" by the end, even though the ending isn't sad at all.

I'm still not sure I follow. Type was physically near, but emotionally and romantically unattainable. Leo was emotionally attainable, but physically distant and after he came back, he was romantically distant. All the while, Fiat was single. So, what difference does it make why Fiat ultimately decides to hook up with that guy while Leo is away if he's single anyway?

Oh, I remember that scene now. But I also remember that guy just being interested in getting into Fiat's pants, not actually dating him? Also, I don't mean to sound combative, but are Grindr-style hookups inherently bad?

Yeah, but considering the massive plot break at the beginning of the last third of the series, it might not be as worth it as you think. I can explain further if you like, but I don't want to totally spoil it for you just based on this one question.

It's much closer to being a BL than I'm Tee Me Too was. This is because, in this show, while not being explicitly a romance, it's very much understood that the majority the main characters have same-sex attraction and there's loads of flirting. There are even gay couples in this.

The only thing I remember is him trying to get Tharn and Type to break up. What else was he up to?

Ok. I'm probably just going to drop it then. There are much more appealing BLs out right now. Thanks.

So, I don’t usually do this, but I’m thinking about dropping the show. Something about the mediocrity and just overall boring vibe of it doesn’t make me seem hopeful for future episodes. I’m at episode 6. Does it start getting more exciting? Is the ending worth finishing this?

He's easily one of the most attractive guys I've ever seen in a BL. Something about his facial expressions just seems so beautiful to me every time he's on screen.

You make a good point. I live in Beijing, where the of Addicted takes place and where it was actually filmed. Bai Luoyin's home/neighborhood is exactly what the poor (not lower middle class, POOR) neighborhoods on the outskirts of Beijing look like. Even the Beijing accents the students used when speaking added to the effect. The only thing that didn't seem real imo were the leads. They were like 20/19 at the time of filming, but they still looked unusually old for high school. Even now I still feel like Huang Jingyu looks older than he actually is: 28.

Jeez talk about coming out of left field. Of all the characters in this show, I wouldn't expect Pob to be the one someone doesn't like. lol I'm not attacking you or anything. I'm just legitimately surprised. 😂

Wait a minute. YYY was high budget?
