It has authentic quality
This is a very late review and most know of the drama with the drama. Censorship issues aside, what struck me most with Addicted is how authentic the cinematography and scenes were. It looked like a poorer area and school. It never felt like a ‘set’.The actors did very well capturing the characters and I was sad that it had such a negative effect on their careers for so long.
I think this has been the best adaptation of the novel so far. Why it is so difficult for this source material, I don’t know.
Should be a definite watch for most, and I rewatch regularly.

Funny and Sweet
As an office romance based on a Josei Manga that got REALLY spicy, I approve how they tackled the NC scenes. It was comedic and gave fun and playful in a way that wasn't making fun of but having fun with. it was a shy, quiet female lead with self confidence issues, which is a common staple in Japanese shows. The good thing is she does grow as a character and stand for what she wants.The male lead is a genuine good guy and the relationship has bumps and such, but they communicate through it in a healthy realistic manner.
If you want a break from overwrought drama, i can totally recommend this and a good resting place.
