Short Plot Summary
Obsessed With You follows Tino, a talented nightclub dancer trapped in a toxic world controlled by a powerful club owner. His life is ruled by fear, debt, and the desperate need to save his sick sister.

Main Characters
Tino
Tino is fragile but not weak. He is young, talented, and emotionally exhausted. He dances to survive, not for joy. His love for his sister is the strongest force in his life, and it pushes him to make painful choices. Watching Tino slowly reclaim his voice is one of the most emotional parts of the story.
Actor – Glib Gorodnichev.
Brendon
Brendon is a police officer who wants to do the right thing, but he is deeply conflicted. He is engaged, scared of his own feelings, and slow to accept who he really is. His relationship with Tino is messy, imperfect, and sometimes frustrating — but also very human.
Actor – Ruslan Miroshnychenko.
Lucio
Lucio is the true villain of the series. Charming, cruel, and completely obsessed with control, he treats people as property. His fixation on Tino is disturbing and intense, making him a classic dark romance antagonist you love to hate.
Actor – Istan Rozumny.
Alice
Tino’s sister is the emotional heart of the story. She represents innocence, love, and everything Tino is fighting for. Even when she is off-screen, her presence drives every major decision.
Actress – Natalia Shulzhenko.
Personal Opinion
This series is dark, intense, and emotionally heavy. It does not romanticize abuse — it shows how control, fear, and manipulation destroy lives. The romance between Tino and Brendon is not easy or soft, and that makes it feel real.
That said, the story can feel overwhelming at times. Lucio’s cruelty is extreme, and some scenes are very uncomfortable. If you prefer light romance, this series may be too dark for you. But if you enjoy pain, tension, and slow emotional payoff, it delivers strongly.
Conclusion
Obsessed With You is not a simple love story. It is about survival, identity, and choosing yourself in a world that wants to own you. The series hurts, but it hurts on purpose.
If you like dark romance with real stakes, flawed characters, and intense emotions, this story will stay with you long after the last episode.
