ABO Desire (2025)

The Obsession Chronicles: Hua Yong Edition

I never thought I’d get so obsessed with pregnant men. I mean...what the actual hell?

I enjoyed this show a lot. Like, way more than I expected to. It’s not just about the shock factor but the characters are so unhinged in their pursuits that I couldn't help but be invested. What really got me hooked was watching Hua Yong’s obsession unfold. This man is on a mission and his determination to get what he wants is both hilarious and kind of terrifying. I loved seeing the different facets of his fixation, how it starts as a calculated game then spirals into something sweet. No spoilers here but let’s just say his schemes had me glued to the screen, snickering at how far he’s willing to go.

The main couple made me giggle so damn hard. . Hua Yong’s infatuation with Shao You is so off-the-charts like IT IS EMBARASSING LMAO. That man would crawl across glass just to breathe the same air as Shao You. He’s so far gone. And our little Alpha on the other hand is the grumpiest menace alive, he is pretending he’s in control when he’s clearly drowning in it too. I to be honest don't know how to describe their dynamic but its like watching a god fall to his knees for someone who can barely handle being adored and I was eating it up like the sick fool I am, OKAY??

Now...the second couple Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang. I liked them too don’t get me wrong but holy shit, Shen Wenlang is dumb. Like. dumber than a bag of rocks. I love him okay I really do but this man has the emotional intelligence of a brick wall and the decision-making skills of a toddler on a sugar high. How does someone with that much power manage to be so clueless? It’s almost impressive how consistently he fumbles every single opportunity to not be an idiot. He’s a disaster and I’m obsessed with roasting him for it LMAO.

Anyway here’s the thing: I’m not even an Omegaverse fan. Like, at all. The whole concept usually makes me roll my eyes. And don’t get me started on mpreg....normally it’s an instant nope for me. I see it coming and I’m OUT. But China has this infuriating knack for making every BL drama perfect no matter how outlandish the themes are. They take these eyebrow-raising ideas and turn them into something beautifully executed. ‘Desire’ is no exception. They got me eating out of the palm of their hand. Oh and a tiny spoiler for those of you who get the ick from mpreg: it only happens at the end. So if that’s what’s holding you back just know you’ve got a whole lot of drama to enjoy before you have to deal with that particular plot twist. Give it a try, seriously. If I can get past my hang-ups, SO CAN YOU.

Now for those of you who are scratching your heads over the whole Omegaverse thing and wondering what the hell all these terms mean... I’ve got you covered. Below is a little breakdown of the class system in this show because you might need a cheat sheet.

Alpha: These are the top dogs. Dominant as hell, aggressive to a fault and VERY territorial. They’re usually the leaders and when they go into “rut,” their sex drive cranks up to eleven, making them very HORNY. In ‘Desire,’ you’ve got the S-class Alphas, the cream of the crop, rare as fuck and stupidly powerful. They’re like regular Alphas but stronger, smarter, sometimes with freaky-ass abilities that make them damn near unstoppable.

Beta: The boring middle ground. These poor saps are neutral, forgettable and about as fertile as I AM LMAO (0 chance). Tbh...most stories don’t even bother with them because who cares? They’re just… there. Yawn.

Omega: The submissive, baby-making machines of the bunch. They’re nurturing, emotional and fertile as fuck. Instead of periods, they’ve got “heat” this annoying phase where they’re horny and stink of pheromones to lure in mates. They can pop suppressants to keep that shit under control but good luck with that when an Alpha’s around. They are basically walking bait.

Enigma: Now this is where shit gets wild. Enigmas are rare... basically like unicorns in our world LMAO. They’re above Alphas, superior in every damn way and in ‘Desire,’ they’ve got this fucked-up power to tame even the toughest Alphas and turn them into whimpering Omegas. They can flip the script and break the hierarchy. They’re dangerous, manipulative and sexy as HELL. Ahem Ahem (Go take a look at HUA YONG)

There you go, that’s my explanation in a nutshell.

Warning: This is Omegaverse. Throw your morals, your dignity and maybe your sanity out the damn window. There are themes of dubcon, noncon, toxic relationships and all the messed-up shit you shouldn’t be rooting for but here we are. If that makes you clutch your pearls and cry, do yourself a favor: don’t watch it.

Edit : 9.0 the ending was rushed.

JUST WATCH IT

If you’re already into the omegaverse, this is a must-watch you’ll go feral in the best way. But even if you’re new to it, Desire offers a unique sci-fi twist that makes the world intriguing to step into, to the new ones It might get a little bizarre later (we all know what the genre holds 👀) but if you’re open mindu and looking for something different, you’ll probably end up just as hooked.
It's a well-built omegaverse that finally feels true to its genre and immersive. With the added rare Enigma, tiying the dynamics to a DNA altering virus is creative, sci-fi-ish, and refreshing it makes it feel more realistic(?)

The main couple? Electric. Hua Yong is a literal orchid jade beauty! and when jealousy hits, the Enigma in him switch to a whole new personality. Sheng keeps falling for all his schemes, and honestly, same lol.

Even the kiss scenes felt sweet and natural no secondhand embarrassment here, just unexpected giggles. The side couple also brings chaos with an omega disguised as a beta, and I’m all in for that drama.

Gao Tu’s acting stood out the most so far, and while it’s still in worldbuilding mode, the pacing feels right. Only the two characters are in focus, which makes it easy to follow. Production quality? Surprisingly high. Those billionaire villas alone deserve a shoutout. You can tell they invested in detailed sets and styling. Nothing looks cheap or rushed, and even the camera work is smooth and solid.
