Idk man

I think I’m allergic to shows those 2 have acted in before because this is the second show I drop that has Max and Tul at very early stages, it’s not the way they act or anything, in the contrary they’re both amazing actors but these shows especially this one is not my cup of tea. I couldn’t even finish episode 1, I made it to 31 min or so and I already knew the story was gonna be basic and boring and reading more reviews and having watched some clips on TikTok it gave me all the info I needed to reassure myself that this just wasn’t worth continuing and to drop it. The fact it has a second chapter with like 13 episodes is a huge reason why I also considered dropping too, I’ve mentioned before in past reviews that I don’t like lengthy shows and I seriously cannot imagine what else they’re going to be doing or dealing with in the second chapter. Normally a show with 12 episodes is more than enough to give us all the information needed to be satisfied but having a second chapter is just insane. Plus 13 episodes each 50 min. Uh no thank you I’ll be dropping this show just like how I dropped Manner Of Death. One thing I will give props to is the person subbing it, they made those 31 minutes a little bit better by putting their own commentary at times and also educating us about different things being mentioned. But other than that, it was not worth even starting.

SUPER CUTE!!!

Honestly didn’t know what I was expecting when I started this show but it wasn’t what is actually shown, first off I want to recognize how amazing the acting is, like seriously Lin acting as Win and Win acting as Lin, they were both so good at it that it felt like they actually switched bodies. And the scene where the mom is crying in episode 10 is so realistic it actually made me feel so sad because her emotions felt real. So props to the actors they did an amazing job! Second, the chemistry was amazing, this isn’t a show where there’s a lot of kiss scenes or anything and normally I like kiss scenes or stuff in that genre but this show did an amazing job at keeping me entertained and also giving me the chemistry needed to make my heart race. And the chances we did get to see kiss scenes they were amazing!! The story is super cute and soft, nothing too out there but also perfect enough to make those 10 episodes go by in a blink of an eye. I want to rate this an 8.8/10 but it only lets me rate 8.5 or 9, imo it’s not 9 worthy because again its not an extraordinary story, it’s simple but super well made! If you’re looking for something soft and cute to watch and also a quick watch since it has 10 episodes then this is just for you. I would definitely recommend, mainly because of the 10 episodes, and the fact that each episode is like 40+ min, I seriously hate when shows are longer than they should be and also lengthy on minutes of the episodes, so the fact that this show is simple, cute, soft and short wins my heart.

Season 2 is NEEDED!!!

I read that there won't be a second season but honestly the open ending needs clarification imo, ofc it can be up to the audience imagination of what could've happened next but honestly I like having a clear understanding of things and not just something I have to guess or imagine. I know there is a special episode though idek when that will be released or if it's even going to explain anything but I hope it does clarify some things. Now... onto the whole story. First of all, literally everyone except Non, New/Tan and a White (a little) made me the least angry, everyone else deserved to die, now call me harsh or heartless but like they all did Non so wrong, like a whole family was wiped and why? Because they all didn't like Non because he was like the "outcast" of the story. Non deserved so much better and I wish he would've gotten proper revenge. Phee had his reasons to be angry at Non and it's understandable but honestly falling for the dude that lowkey made all hell fall down is just insane. It infuriated me. Jin also understandable why he felt that way when he saw Non and the teacher but like dude you guys weren't dating so like womp womp get over it. Non was literally being manipulated by a whole ass adult when he was in a harsh/stressful position and Mr. Keng took advantage of that and used him, and he was also getting bullied by Jin's friends and all Jin did was talk to Non after all the bullying and telling him that he's on Non's side and blah blah blah instead of actually standing up for him while the bullying was happening, but instead he just stayed back and watched it happen. Nah man. Now Por... not much to say he deserved to die, so glad he did. He was trash. No excuse. Same with Top, total asshole, fucking despise him. Glad he died as well. Fluke, dude was playing it safe while also watching shit go down, he didn't want to get involved in anything but at the same time got involved in everything by watching everything happen and not doing anything about it. Well deserved death too. Now Tee is a weird case, I didn't like him either because he literally did the most damage to Non but he also had his fair share of fucked up shit happening to him and like that explains his behavior but doesn't excuse it, he didn't die but his love did so karma got him good, I'm satisfied with that. Now don't get me wrong, White didn't deserve to die and it was a little sad but I didn't connect with White that much to feel that much towards him dying, literally the whole show just put me in the same mindset that Non's brother had and I just wanted revenge for Non because of how mad all the bullying and mistreating made me feel. Lastly, I hated how Tan died, he didn't deserve that and I wish he had lived. That's the part that made me the saddest and it's mainly because it wasn't just Tan that died, but Tan, Non, and their parents, as I mentioned before a whole family was wiped and for what? Revenge doesn't even describe what they deserve, they need more than revenge that's why I wish there was a second season, and also because of the ending which is basically up to our imagination to guess what could've happened, did they escape? did they not? are they still in the house? did something else happen? who knows??? But anyway, I know i sound like a psychopath with my opinions here but overall it was a good show, it kept me entertained and gave me a lot of emotions, worth the watch, there's a lot of sad scenes and angry scenes, a lot of chemistry and just overall balanced well in all places.

HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!!

Alrighty guys let me get it started, first the show started off good, the story was good, the connection was good and the chemistry was there, the acting was good, but after a few episodes in everything started going down hill. When they started dating the chemistry was lost like no tomorrow, it literally felt like they were friends, they had more chemistry when they were friends than when they were together. They were literally living together, and we did not even get to see a proper kiss or any chemistry at all. The only times they tried being "spicy", they wouldn't even show it, we were being teased. Lowkey a lot of the story was all over the place, and they kept extending it by adding unnecessary scenes, AND the side couples had more chemistry than the main couple, which says a lot, and also some of the couples formed way too fast and also out of nowhere, like Mil and Phukong, Mil kept saying how he likes him as a a brother and then at the end they're acting all lovey-dovey like what the heck??? Overall this show was not worth it, it was a hard watch, it had so much potential, but it was executed so badly, I'm honestly contemplating watching the 2nd season, but I heard it has better scenes so I'm gonna give it a try, but if you ask me, its not worth even starting this series, so unless you're into very vanilla BL with barely any chemistry then this is for you, otherwise don't recommend watching.

Amazing Show

Honestly there’s so much to appreciate about this show, but I’ll keep it short, the acting is top tier, the music is amazing, the story is spectacular, the chemistry is immaculate, the tension is always there, there isn’t a second where you aren’t at the edge of your chair waiting to see what’s gonna happen next or just having a plot twist out of nowhere. I absolutely loved this show, and I love how at the end everytbing was resolved and everyone was happy and where they should be (including Vegas and Pete which I wanted them to be together in the end so bad and I was hoping he didn’t die) and thank god he didn’t because that was one of the best relationships with that chemistry omg. Of course nothing beats Kinn and Porsche and their chemistry and relationship is just WOW! Overall amazing show and so worth watching, only thing is it’s a little long but honestly they do an amazing job at making a hour pass by like it’s a minute of how entertained and concentrated you will be.

So much emotions

Ok so there's actually so much to say about this show, the acting was great, the story was good, the characters were all a mess in their own way but it played out well so I would like to talk about each couple here and share my opinion on them. I want to start with Mew and Top, this might be controversial but I did not like their relationship, like it made me so mad and honestly I don't even know why. I think because I didn't like Tops character and I didn't like Mew's that much either. Top was a player and honestly what he did in my opinion is not as easily forgivable as he was forgiven, I feel like he should've worked harder for it like he barely did anything he just did bare minimum of what a loyal boyfriend should act like but i guess that was enough to make Mew realize he was worth given a second chance, though i do believe in second chances i feel like there was something off from that relationship in general, it felt empty and dull. While Mew, i did not like his character that much, he was all over the place and so confusing but maybe that's what made Mew and Top perfect for each other. Anyway, overall not the worst relationship and with this i will talk about the worst one so far and that's Ton and Nick. O M G it was so bad, like Ton is just a horrible person and he's not gonna change, at the end of the show i thought he might have changed for Nick but that was obviously too good to be true, he definitely just like the attention he gets from sleeping around and should not be a person that commits to anything serious, though i somehow see a potential for improvement there i doubt it will be easily attainable if he doesn't have the right mindset and will to change. While Nick, poor guy, he just fell for a asshole. Though i cant blame him for falling for Ton, he should've not gone back to him like he did even though he had a good guy that he could've had a chance with based on what we saw. But love is blind and i get that so i cant blame him much, he just wanted a caring relationship and being loved by Ton but that was something truly impossible. I love his character though and wish him happiness. Next is April and Chueam, we didn't get to see much of their relationship so there isn't much to say. Overall they seem to have a pretty healthy relationship, they seem like the type to be able to communicate things and improve their relationship for the better, even though the only conflict they had together was in the beginning when April got told about how Chueam talks about April and her films and stuff. But it was a small conflict, nothing major. Overall a cute relationship and definitely wanted to know more about them. Next, Yo and Plug. Nothing much to say about them, another couple we barely got to see much. They also had their issues but later was resolved, once again nothing major. Their relationship was cute and i loved the representation not just with them but with the other couples as well. Lastly, best for last. Sand and Ray, might be a little biased because i love those 2 so much in all the shows they are together but so far was my favorite relationship, they actually communicated, they had so much chemistry (but they lowkey always do in every show), they improved together, they weren't super toxic for each other and eventually any toxicness cancelled out and they were perfect for each other. Now I'm not going to deny that at first Ray was an asshole to Sand and lowkey Sand didn't deserve him at all in the beginning, i got so mad when he would help Ray even though Ray would be such an ass to him. But it worked out in the end because Ray had so much potential to be a good lover, he was just stuck up on Mew and had a drinking and drug problem plus he also hated his life which all combined caused him to be this way, but you can tell from the start he was a good person he just needed to find someone to give him that push (Sand) into a better direction. Overall, great show. I enjoyed it a lot and i liked how each relationship had their own issues and conflicts that slowly got solved in their own pace and way. Anyway, the guy that appeared in the last episode is so FINE, and omg you can tell it was about to go down after that haha i would like to see that.

Wish Things Were Different For These Series

Alright, so I have a few things to say about this show and the Addicted show from 2016 and also the Thai remake coming up. So, some people say this show is cursed cause every remake is always bad somehow, or lacking something, or just not satisfactory to the viewers to the max. I know a lot of people enjoyed this one more than Addicted (2016) for many reasonable reasons, but at the same time this show lacks too, as well as I feel like the Thai remake will as well. Now, let me talk about some things I did write down during the time I was watching this show while I still had the storyline of Addicted (2016) fresh in my head, and I compared the differences in both since I had in mind watching Stay With Me and the Thai remake and review them all in their similarities and differences, but I can’t bring myself to. But yeah, in this one I noticed that support characters don’t act like NPC (same with other characters/including side), I don’t remember much since I watched Addicted (2016) a while ago but the storyline was just not there, it wasn’t executed properly and neither were the characters, so this was something very refreshing about this version. Second, there’s more information about more characters and storyline, in this version it goes into more depth about each character, it reveals characters that weren’t even shown in the 2016 version, this makes the story easier to understand and just overall more informative and realistic. Third, we get to see more of them at school and other characters instead of just mainly focusing on them two. Literally the 2016 version was like a whole mess just focused on the 2 main characters, the rest were like cardboard cutouts with no personality or past, future or present, it felt dull and empty. Fourth, cute scenes filled with chemistry. The difference from this one to the 2016 is day and night, I didn’t get to finish this one so idk if the entire kidnaping thing and literal sexual harassment happens, but based on how far I got, things seemed more innocent, cute, consensual, and just overall healthy or at least I should say healthier from what I saw. It was honestly extremely refreshing to see. Regardless of that, I’m not a huge fan of censored BL/bromance. I wouldn’t avoid watching it completely, I’m sure theres really good ones out there for me, and I’m aware this is a good one but I just couldn’t continue, the lack of intimacy is something that I dislike. I know based on what I saw, with their censorship, they tried their best to make it work and with the 9 episodes I saw I already felt the chemistry, but still, this story more than any other I feel NEEDS that intimacy. But regardless I understand the circumstances, and to also put out there, I did see the uncensored 2016 version, that’s why it’s like day and night for me. But moving on, it has sense of humor/funny scenes/not always on the serious side. Literally, the 2016 version is just black and white, the whole vibe is depressing, the way things were was depressing, god that thing was just horrible, this one is livelier, definitely the fact that it has way more things than the 2016 helps with the liveliness, the 2016 version felt more like a quick dark story. And lastly what I wrote down as part of my review was that the way they found out how they were step brothers was different in both shows, I forgot both versions at the moment of me writing this review, but in the back of my mind I can faintly remember the difference, once again it was like day and night, and everything this show had the the other didn’t played a huge part in this and most of it all. Anyway, this was about how far I got, notice how I didn’t write mainly anything negative about this one, because at the end of the day this show was good, I can recognize this will probably be one of the better versions of Addicted in a while if they continue making more remakes, but it lacked things that I just couldn’t continue, and 24 episodes is long. I need a hook. But I will not deny this show is good, and I do recommend it if you enjoy censored BL/bromance. Now, another thing I also wanna mention here is about the fact I think someone dies? Or idk they get into an accident and we don’t know what happens next that’s why a lot of people are asking for season 2. And no man… I’m not about to go through all that just to have no second season, I’ve been watching HIStory shows recently and I already felt that with one of the shows, won’t say which one incase anyone is interested in watching, don’t wanna spoil. But yeah, that’s pretty much all I have to say, I do recommend if you’re aware of what to expect and ready for it all. Wish we had a version like this but with more intimacy, it would be perfect. But for now this is what we get. And I won’t even speak about the Thai one, I haven’t watched it, haven’t heard much about it, don’t even wanna try it. I’m getting horrible vibes off that one. But yeah here goes to the end of my addicted journey, and if in the future I change my mind, I’ll write another review. But for now this is where I stand.

Unoriginal, Don't Even Want To Continue

Okay, this BL has a lot of good reviews, high ratings, in my book that's a big red flag, most high rating shows aren't up to my liking nor standards but regardless I watched the first episode, let me just say it didn't hook me, it's your typical stepbrother story, same old same old with Taiwanese BL's. I mean I got nothing against that but like make it more unique and interesting? It's always the same, enemies to lovers type of thing, a dead parent or divorced parents. I've watched too many BL's like this and most of them are not that good cause they're so repetitive. I did some research too and the story seems to be dull and like a slowburn, nothing wrong with that again but at least give us something later on. But no... apparently it's one of those BL's that end and literally make us crave more while a second season is yet to be confirmed. So, I'm gonna save my time on this one and rate it a 7. I could rate it lower but I know theres quality and potential there. I saw some of the dropped reviews and they looked like they were AI generated, they all had a 10 star even tho it was dropped. Maybe it was a mistake, but regardless I'm trying to be honest, and if anyone is looking for a similar opinion like me after watching the first episode then it'll be easier to find. If this show gets a second season and I find out about it and it's also better, maybe I'll give this show a try. But right now. No, thank you.
