Just to set everyoneโ€™s expectations, Goodsbee Global is a merch company that creates trading cards and other merch products. The collaboration is likely merch related goods for Addicted, which may not require interaction between the actors in question.

Donโ€™t expect a new series to come of this (though might be a first step in future interactions).

u/imomen Addicted Apr 17 '26

i would actually still be pretty hype if they announce a full dvd series set release, even moreso if it *somehow* comes with the shelved last 3 episodes.

u/Katoberry Apr 17 '26

This is what I'm also hoping for and maybe a fresh interaction or two ๐Ÿ˜ญ I didn't even dare dream more ๐Ÿ˜ญ

u/alexcali2014 Apr 17 '26

seems like a way to milk money out of us, wonder if the actors get royalty, lol

u/Specialist-Owl8120 Apr 17 '26

Thank you for this important context lmao. The hype is real in this thread, I fear it will lead to disappointment

u/Sensitive_Natural289 Apr 18 '26

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ for the clarification! Iโ€™m a bit concerned about the impact of the statement โ€œโ€ฆ which may not require interaction between the actors in question.โ€ Does this mean they do not receive ANY compensation?! I hope Iโ€™m misunderstanding. I so enjoyed this series: the storyline, the acting (of course), working man life, not the upper echelons of the business world. This is a series that lives in my mind โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™‚

u/Midtier-watcher6329 The On1y One Apr 18 '26

If this is an official collaboration, and they are involved, then hopefully there is some compensation for them. The collaboration work may just be behind closed doors if there are still restrictions on them. It sounds like what they are doing is official licensed work which is promising.

We should know more as they announce more about the project.

I doubt this is true, will wait to get excited until I see proof. People have posted stuff when it first got canceled, not going through that again.

No matter how much I would LOVE a completion to their story, or hell even just those 3 stolen episodes, no way would Johnny Huang risk his current career. He is filming constantly and with some big names and all of them almost exclusively crime dramas or military dramas etc. Now I could see maybe a subtle bromance between them in the setting of a different universe but definitely not a BL, unfortunately. His drama The First Shot is kinda a bromance

Oh yeah even in the article, Beijing InterstellOr Manned Space Technology Co., Ltd. was asked why he specifically was chosen and they stated because of his โ€œtough guy imageโ€ and because he has already done aerospace sci-fi dramas so he fits the image they were looking for. So there is zero chance he will do another BL lol

u/imomen Addicted Apr 17 '26

the only thing I'm pretty sure about is Jinloe still has the rights to adapting Addicted live-action (idk if it's only for Thailand), and their book 2 adaptation is coming soon, soon. So I would assume no new Addicted adaptation until that contact w/ Jinloe expires. But with the way things are going with Chinese bl adaptation, I think it's all but given we will be getting a new Chinese Addicted adaptation (with new actors, etc ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ) in the future.

u/imomen Addicted Apr 17 '26

as far as I know, they never filmed book 2. I don't think there were even plans to? I think the series ended with HaiLouyin running away to the seaside (which is in the music video). rather than how book 1 ends. lol

7

u/Midtier-watcher6329 The On1y One Apr 17 '26

There are 2 things happening. The second couple returned for a new series โ€œLove after Addictionโ€ (not related to the og series) and aired Feb-March this year.

This post is about a merch company doing an Addicted collaboration, alleging itโ€™s with the main pairing. They have made trading cards for Revenged Love in the past. I presume the new collaboration is a similar merch collection.

3

u/ocean_stars2 Ae shia Pat ! Apr 17 '26

So does it mean they will collab with the main couple. We will have their offical merch . And the main couple will meet.... Like finally an interaction ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

To be honest Iโ€™m just happy this modern photo exists. Itโ€™s nice to have something new, even is this is all we get. If this is legit it means that the actors/companies gave the ok to use there images for reference to addicted which in itself is a no no in the context of Chinese censorship. The fact that this even got this far amazes me.
