I honestly wished I entered the world of BL a little earlier. At first, I was a little sceptical. knowing how the Chinese government has banned so many promising bl shows or turned them into bromance, and learning how short the episodes were I was afraid this show would be like so many others, rushed and chaotic. I'm glad I was wrong.
Plot: The plot is interesting enough. It progresses at a good pace. However, I felt like it was missing something to keep me hooked. Sometimes I had to fight the urge to just jump to the main lead scenes and skip the scenes with their parents. The contrasts between rich and poor were portrayed accurately. I loved how there was no cliche rich bad guy-poor good guy character. The only thing I disliked was the side characters. I would have liked to see some side-story development instead of just making them obstacles the male leads had to overcome. Some depth to the other cast would have been nice too. Understandably, it ended a little abruptly and I was not able to fully enjoy their progress but it still left me feeling warm inside.
rating: 7/10
Acting: the whole cast did an amazing drop. the on-screen chemistry of the leads was on a whole other level.
They really carried the drama. They did an amazing job portraying the confusion and hesitance that occur in those situations. It was a pleasure watching the development of all the characters throughout the series. I especially enjoyed watching the father-son interactions. The male leads are what hooked me line and sinker.
rating: 10/10
Music: honestly, the osts did not especially stand out to me. I liked watching the intro because it contained some scenes that were not there in the drama itself. The outro was pleasant too. Maybe I was just too engrossed with the male leads to recall the songs.
rating: 7/10
rewatch value: it has been only a month but I'm still addicted to "Addicted" bl edits.
rating: 9/10
Overall: 9/10. to all the BL fans out there who haven't watched it, just go for it, it's worth all the data and time. Trust me. I only wished there was more.
