上瘾 "addicted"

i read about this china gay-drama serial "addicted" (上瘾) so much i decided to check it out and i was so totally wowed by it. i am not sure of the reasons but i ended up rather addicted to it. haha... it could be any of the following reasons: cute actors (actually they are not that cute but the looks certainly build up on me), a storyline that connects with my own life's experiences, the challenges that the characters go through, very strong characters yet with a certain softness privately, discovery of sexuality, puppy love, intensity of the love, the male-male connections, etc... absolutely love it. and no, there are absolutely no explicit sex scenes.

this is the first instalment of a few more to come (hopefully). there are 15 episodes in this instalment and focused on the characters when they were in their high school. and to my understanding, it covers about a third of the whole story (based on a story book). subsequent instalments should cover how they graduate form high school and how their relationship grew as they started working. the series is banned in china after the first 3 episodes were aired. it is now only available in youtube (which is also banned in china).

enjoy!
