Addicted (also known as "Heroin" or "Addiction") is a 2016 web drama based on the Boys' love novel "Are You Addicted?" written by Chai Jidan. The shooting of the drama started on November 30, 2015 in Beijing, China and was wrapped up on December 23, 2015. It was an extremely low budget film starring a set of new actors.

The series aired three episodes for its first airing, followed by its regular three episodes a week airing in late January 2016, and began gaining in popularity. At the start of its fourth week of airing, all episodes of the drama were taken off air from major Chinese video streaming websites by China's SARFT and were no longer accessible.[1][2][3][4][5][6] A few days later, all remaining three episodes of the first season were uploaded via their official channel on YouTube, making it available for viewers outside of mainland China.

Plot

Ever since he was young, Bai Luo Yin (Xu Weizhou) has been living with his careless (but loving) father, Bai Han Qi, and his grandmother. When he turned 16 years old, his biological mother Jiang Yuan re-married. Her new husband is a high ranking military official, Gu Wei Ting.

Because of his mother’s death, Gu Wei Ting’s son, Gu Hai (Huang Jingyu), has been harboring a deep grudge towards his father. Due to the random hand of fate, the two step-brothers with wildly conflicting emotional backgrounds have been placed in the same class at a Beijing high school, without knowing each other's background at first. With time, they slowly developed a special feeling, each in a different way. Their classmates, You Qi and Yang Meng, have been instrumental in the relationship.[7]
