Revolving around the angsty budding relationship of two high school boys, the Chinese gay youth web drama Addicted (a.k.a. Heroin & Addiction) turned into a massive online sensation when it aired in January 2016. Based on an internet novel, the provocative series generated a fervent fan following & inspired plentiful discussion on its portrayal of gay youth relationships before getting taken down by Chinese censors. Newcomers Timmy Xu Weizhou & Johnny Huang Jingyu leaped into overnight stardom for their bold, heartfelt performances as two boys who cant quit each other.
Raised by his father, proud & serious 16-year-old Bai Luoyin (Timmy Xu) has long been estranged from the mother who left him at a young age. After suddenly remarrying military official Gu Weiting, Luoyins mother tries to reach out & repair relations with him, but he rejects her overtures. Meanwhile, Gu Weitings rebellious son Gu Hai (Johnny Huang), who also holds a grudge against his father, transfers to Luoyins school. Assigned to the same class, the two bump heads immediately but are unaware of their family connection. Drawn to Luoyin from the moment they meet, the brash & impulsive Hai brazenly inserts himself into Luoyins life & the two soon develop an increasingly intimate bond.
