Stay With Me (simplified Chinese: 哥哥你别跑; traditional Chinese: 哥哥你別跑; pinyin: gēge nǐ biépǎo; lit. ''Brother', ' don't run!'') is a 2023 danmei Chinese television drama starring Xu Bin and Zhang Jiong Min, directed by Su You Chen and written by Chai Ji Dan. It is based on the famous boy's love (BL) Chinese novel Are You Addicted? (你丫上瘾了) by the same author Chai Jidan.[1]
The series aired on Taiwan's GagaOOLala platform and Viki International from July 7 until August 12, 2023. Due to the Chinese government's strict policy on promoting boy's love content, the series is currently not licensed to broadcast widely on the mainland China, although the crew and sets were all filmed entirely in China.
This drama is also considered a remake version of the 2016 BL Chinese streaming television series, Addicted, because the plot is similar and both were written by Chai Ji Dan.
Synopsis
[edit]Su Yu (Zhang Jiong Min) is a high school student. He lives with his single father. And although his tiny family has no money, he is reasonably happy. That is all shattered the day his mother remarries a rich man. This puts him on a collision course with his new step-brother Wu Bi (Xu Bin), who also turns out to be his new classmate. The two clash right from the start, due mainly to the fact that they have such different personalities. Su Yu is a cold and arrogant top student, while Wu Bi is an unreasonable underachiever.
After getting off on the wrong foot, their explosive relationship takes a turn. But just as the bond between Su Yu and Wu Bi grows stronger, a whole range of obstacles comes their way, challenging their feelings for each other.[2][3]
