ABO Desire

The winner takes it all

I would give my life if I could watch this show for the first time again. First in my bloodline to witness this shit. I would give it an 8.8 so a 9 out of 10. People didn’t like the ending and I think they could’ve done more with it, but I still liked it. So I’m gonna say what I liked, what I didn’t like, and then we’re gonna do like a little overview.

So starting off the bat with the omegaverse trope. Fight the allegations, but that is one of my favorite tropes EVER, behind another one that this show did which is mpreg. And I’m sick of pretending like I don’t fucking love it. It’s fucking great, so when I heard that they were gonna make a drama of this, you know my ass was gonna move heaven and hell to watch this shit. I was watching this every fucking week when this came out. I liked our main couple and I like our side couple. Towards the start, I liked the side couple more but then towards the end I liked the main couple more. I think that everyone’s character was fantastic like of course not everyone wasn’t a good person, but they were just brought to life so well and it was genuinely great. Starting with Hua Yong holy moly, fantastic character because I was being gaslit too. I’m like wait why are we mad at him again? I’m like oh shit he’s fucking lying to you, fantastic plot. I don’t really get into like the enigma shit but the fact that he was lying about being Omega and then he switched and was actually an enigma and then got his alpha pregnant. Next fucking question my show is on what the hell. I think that the fact that Sheng Shao You or whatever, I like his reaction to just being lied to like he’s like What the fuck I just got lied to and then he just kept getting lied to, and then now he’s pregnant oh my God I’d be like What the fuck. Next up, my favorite character in this entire show, Gao Tu, fantastic character. I genuinely loved him. The acting was phenomenal and the fact that he had some unrequited love with a childhood friend and then got pregnant from that same friend. Oh my God my show is on dude holy fuck and he was just so worried. Of course they’re ending. It’s like fine. I guess it’s not but I’m just gonna have to deal with it, but I loved his character so very fucking and holy shit. Wen lang can lowkey suck my dick but fantastic acting because this character pissed me the fuck off. Another thing I also liked is that they made the omegaversus the main plot like I don’t like when they put it on the back burner and I thought they were gonna do that because it’s a Chinese fucking drama. It’s the first ever OMEGAVERSE I’m like they’re going to do that. No, the Omega Verse was the main plot. Their weird fucking businesses. They were all around the fucking omega verse and around like the pheromones and shit. Every single thing in this show had to do with the Omega Verse and I fucking love that, and they did such a phenomenal job with that. Also, I love the costumes and the settings and everything. It was great and also the editing I cringed with the pheromones but great job because they brought that shit to life. Holy moly. I love this show. Also for fucking Chinese censorship, they stuck their foot into their fucking sex scenes. Of course, we did have two back-to-back fucking rape scenes that I low-key trauma blocked and I didn’t remember until I re-watched it for the fourth time (that should say a lot about this show), but they didn’t even have to show anything. They set it up perfectly. They did like some insinuating like assuming. Oh my God, they did that so well. And the mpreg I was not expecting like a full baby bump thing, but people on TikTok were convinced that there was a baby bump. I don’t think there was, but I was not expecting that they were gonna do stuff like rubbing his stomach. I love everything and he’s like the fuck is your problem he’s like you got my baby in there. He’s like you fucking bitch. I’m a man. I loved that to death. It was so fucking good and I’m surprised that they like went fully with it towards the end they had the time skip with them and their kid like I’m surprised they went all the way there and I’m glad they fucking did dude holy shit. I love this show. I also liked how Hua Yong's omega personality never really faded but we also knew it was a front even when it wasn’t. Yeah, I’m truly honored that I am first in my bloodline to ever witness this. Also, I loved how they showed the heat and the rut, that was fucking phenomenal. We ate that shit up. I can’t even lie and I’m sick of pretending that this isn’t peak. This show was phenomenal and I’m not gonna pretend it wasn’t just cause it’s an omegaverse. Also, the chemistry between our couples holy fucking moly we have so much chemistry just between all of us.I also like how when he found out that his cute omega bag was an enigma he was like what the fuck and then like Hua Yong got a fucking cement block dropped on him and then a metal rod to the back to protect him and then he’s like OK fine I’ll get pregnant. Yeah, I remember that happening. I remember this is exactly how the story went…definitely… I also just remembered the Lore that hua yong has actually been obsessed with him for like a while now and that’s why he’s so head over heels for him and he’s willing to give up everything for him and I low-key ate that up I can’t even lie like he’s like I’m so in love with you and it’s like I’m willing to lie to you and become this person. I’m not just to make you happy and I was like OKKKAAYYYY!!

What I didn’t like, starting right off the bat Fucking Wen Lang. That dumb bitch can genuinely suck my fucking left dick shut the fuck up with your fucking fat ass. Oh my fucking God shut your fuck ass up he was annoying. His character was written miserably. I cannot even lie. It was just such a shitty fucking character and he’s like Oh I don’t like him. I don’t like him and then something just clicked and he was like Oh I like him and I’m going to go crazy based on my tribal instincts. Also, the ending with our second couple that’s what people’s main criticism with the show is and they’re hating on the show because of that. I think they set it up for a season two which I don’t know if we’re gonna get because censorship and all that but they set it up perfectly for a season two but I wish they ended them a little bit differently and instead of like oh he’s a single dad for the past like three years and then he sees across the ball pit and he hugs him and that’s the end of their thing. They could’ve had like a conversation there. It could’ve been like very standoffish and kind of been like Hey I’m ready to be a dad or he’s always been ready to be a dad but he like disappeared. Also, the fact that there was two back-to-back rape scenes, I’m like holy fucking moly and I don’t know if it also got the other guy pregnant but like that’s just so kind of like annoying. This shit with the X holding things I don’t think I understood and as they start talking about that, I’m like why don’t we get naked kiss cause I don’t know what we’re fucking talking about right now like I’m the owner of X Holdings because I’m the bastard of my dad‘s left ball sack Cousin‘s cat‘s grandmother and I’m like what are we fucking talking about right now?

OK, let’s get into my overview which is gonna be all over the place because this is 16 episodes I think. Right off the bat I was like Where is my side couple I want to see them. ”That was low-key a fire episode but I wish they split this more evenly but it’s like whatever the plot is coming together and acting better and I actually low-key like the characters and I like how it’s like there’s other plot besides the omegaverse.” But the plot still related back to the Omega Verse, which was fucking great. “I wish they did more with those episodes instead of just like sitting like a waiting duck kind of episode.” I was gonna put the fact that there was a lot of waiting and things I didn’t like, but it was low-key re-watching it. I was just like delirious and like there was a lot of waiting, but it was still like juicy plot and I enjoyed it. Their power dynamic like for our main couple was low-key terrible but I was only OK with it because I knew it was gonna flip. “Me when the omega guy. I swear he's always in heat but me too when his sexy ass is on screen, my lord.” “This show needs to lock in bc i cant bring myself to hate it.” “REF DO SOMETHING. NURSE HE GOT OUT AGAIN. Gorgeous scene with Hua Yong and Sheng i think. GORGEOUS. So everyone is going to hell. So the same thing happened it was just flipped. You know what hell yeah.” This was the rape scene that I had genuinely no idea what was happening and people who were also watching, were pissed about this and I low-key did not know what was happening. I can’t even lie. “S Tier Alpha? Worse?” This show is so addictive. “GAO TU PREGNANCY ERAAAAA. Mr. Shen is a dumb piece of shit and if he wasn’t so fucking dumb he would have connected the dots already. Dumb bag of rocks. Hua yong is such a good manipulator I lowkey forgot why we were mad at him.” “If you stab someone in a fatal spot and they get up and keep moving RUN. Especially run if they rub their blood on them as well.” “Yeah, I lowkey became so obsessed with Hua Yong and Sheng's dynamic at the end. Hua Yong loves the child only because it's sheng. I thought that was very romantic. The ending bruhhh.”

I would sacrifice my entire bloodline if it means I can watch this shit for the first time again. Watch this shit, rewatch this shit, watch this shit in the bathtub, even while you’re sleeping bro, in the air even, just watch this shit. Okay bye!

Mid omegaverse experience

So this is my first encounter with omegaverse and let's say it was...interesting. The male pregnacies is definitely something that will take some time to getting used to lol.

ABO Desire was intriguing enough to keep me interested but as a whole it was pretty mid. Production felt very cheap at times and there were almost no spicy scenes.

Second couple was more interesting than main one which was very dragged out and despite that there was rushed closure to both.

Toxicity: It wasn't as bad as I expected but one ML is definitely a nutcase. Still apart few exceptions they had mostly sweet kind of relationship.

HUA YONG'S OBSESSION CUM LOVE

It’s the first live-action Chinese drama to fully embrace the Omegaverse concept: Alphas, Betas, Omegas, and a rare subtype called Enigma. The plot centers on Sheng Shaoyou, an S-Class Alpha CEO, and Hua Yong, who outwardly appears as an Omega but hides that he’s actually an Enigma. There’s also a second romance subplot: Gao Tu, who has to conceal his true status, and Shen Wenlang, his long-time boss, adding depth to the story.
LIKES--------------
☑️Bold, fresh concept
Many viewers praise how the drama goes all in with world-building: the gender hierarchy, biological implications, male pregnancy (mpreg), heat/rut cycles etc.
☑️Strong emotional stakes & tension
The push-and-pull dynamics between MLs (Shaoyou & Hua Yong) are seen as engaging. The secrecy, the manipulation, the emotional cost — these are what many say makes the drama gripping.
☑️Risk-taking
For a mainstream BL series in China, this is pretty daring: not only because of the mpreg aspect but also because it doesn’t shy away from darker, morally grey characters and ambiguous power dynamics.
DISLIKES-------------
☑️Uneven pacing
Many scenes in ABO Desire feel disjointed or abruptly cut, especially in the early and middle episodes. The transitions between key emotional or action moments can be too sudden — you’ll often go from an intense confrontation to a quiet emotional scene without enough buildup or cooldown.
☑️Characters / acting issues
The acting is uneven, especially when delivering emotional lines — sometimes stiff or robotic.
☑️Missing or shortened scenes
Due to censorship or post-production trimming, several sequences reportedly got shortened or rearranged. Emotional payoffs, like confrontations or reconciliations, sometimes feel unfinished
If you: Like dramas that push boundaries and explore dark/emotional themes
Enjoy intricate relationships with tension, secrets, manipulation, taboo elements
Don’t mind morally grey MLs/FLs or problematic situations as part of the tension
Then ABO Desire is very satisfying.
But if you: Prefer BL stories with clear consent and less emotional/psychological manipulation
Get uncomfortable with power imbalance or darker content
Want more consistent character empathy or smoother pacing
You might find parts of the drama frustrating.
ALL IN ALL, I’D SAY IT’S WORTH GIVING A TRY.

How is it over already? T_T

I got around to watching this in mid august, meaning when it was almost at the halfway point of airing, didnt give it much hope and watched it basically because i had nothing better to do. HOWEVER, the first episode sparked unexpected interest and after that I binged all the episodes available and, I must admit, rewatched them many, MANY times before the next saturday rolled around. Didnt think I would actually become so in love with this series. The actors did a very good job, and as far as the story goes, it was definitely emotional at times and it is more than capable of luring you in. Its safe to say that this has taken up a lot of space in my head, and even though I know its not gonna happen, Im still silently hoping for at least a special episode. However, there are some rumors that we will be seeing the actors together again in more projects hihihi. Ill try to say the next bit without spoiling anything, okay? We all know from the synopsis that Hua is a little crazy for pretending to be an omega, but his character development, or at least back story have made the HuaSheng parts more enjoyable, even though im a die-hard LangTu fan. While we are on the topic of SWL, hes a one big headache, but a precious headache and his complex character is really beautiful once you start to notice and understand. Oh and Gao Tu, I could be a better boyfriend than him. But dont worry, at the end all is well, and even though we might not have gotten as big of an ending as we wanted, it made the happy moments all the more precious. Once I emotionally disattach myself from therse characters Ill definitely watch this again, no doubt, because I love high stress situations. If anyone reads this and considers wathing it, please do, you cant go wrong with this. Please excuse that this review was quite poorly written, but my head is no longer able to form more than 1 coherent thought for the next few days.

I am speechless. This is such an amazing series.

Watch this. Seriously watch it. It is such a phenomenal series with a brilliant and fitting cast, unique storyline, and incredible storytelling. I’ve grown so find of the series, the actors, and the universe within this series overall.

Every single scene looked expensive and well thought out. The directors also did such a great job.

I won’t say much else, but you should also know that this series will go down in history as the first of its kind. If you know anything about the omegaverse or BL in general, you’ll know how significant this is, especially coming from China.

People should read other ABO novels first before judging this! And petition for season 2!

Honestly, at first I was hesitating whether to watch the drama or not. After starting and watching first two or three episodes, I was pissed at Hua Yong. But later when I read the novel and saw his story, I understood his situation. Many people are hating Hua Yong saying he doesn't deserve Sheng.
But you have to realise that if Hua Yong wasn't this persistent, he would have ended up the same way as Gao Tu with a long unrequited love for over 15 years. Approaching him honestly? Do you guys really think Sheng would have accepted him who didn't even believe in the existence of Enigmas?! How could that man take such risk about his only lifeline?! Beside he didn't really hurt him or others anytime without a reason. He never told him that he was an omega. The only time he lied was when he hide from Sheng saying Wenlang took him which was also to protect Sheng during his rut.
Didn't Gao Tu also lie about his identity? He also lied since Wenlang doesn't like omegas. So how are his lies justified but Hua's aren't?! Just because Gao Tu is the bottom and His is the top. That man even wanted to cut off his glands and remain as a beta just to be with Sheng.
I hope people would read the novel first before criticizing Hua's character as the series cut down many parts of Hua's backstory. That man never got the love or affection from his family and had to always fight for his survival. His mother taught him not to show emotions, his foster mother kept him cold and hungry, other kids bullied him for thinking him omega, his brothers bullied him even though he was just by himself. So when he got someone who genuinely cared for him and saw how he cares even for an illegitimate child(since Hua is also an illegitimate), he held onto him like this was the only lifeline of his life.. So he had to do everything possible to grab his attention and make sure he loves him back since Sheng was also quite of a playboy and hard to persue.
Many people blame him for the grape scene. But you can see that he really tried for so many years. He literally built a special room and chained himself with the best door lock system fearing of hurting Sheng. But if you read OMEGAVERSE, you'd know that they are basically animals during their ruts without any self control. But the next time they did it, you can see that Hua asked for Sheng's permission again and again making sure Sheng knows who he is being with.
Sheng also grew up in a family which made him never believe in eternal relationship. So I believe he needed someone as persistent and promising as Hua Yong. He also could never hate Hua cuz he also knows that Hua's whole world revolves around him.
And I swear the production team just won a jackpot with the casting specially Eliot. He portrayed both the enigma and omega role so perfectly. If you read the novel, you'd know that this character is really hard to portray since the character seems mostly expressionless but expresses a lot in just micro second movements of eyes. But Eliot didn't give any scope of criticism. He nailed it. He is the life of the series. Whenever I read the novel's Hua Yong's parts, I'm always like "That's Eliot!"
Next the people who are saying Gao Tu and Wenlang didn't get enough screen time. I agree. This could have been better. Even the NongJian sisters cried saying the people they trusted were so bad that they are also disappointed. But one thing we have to know it's the novel also doesn't show there parts that much. They are the second couple for a reason and won't get equal time as the main couple. Honestly at some point I was annoyed by the obliviousness of both Wenlang and Gao Tu!But I'd still hope for an extended episode or season two for more of their story.
The OSTs?! Oh wow! I was in love with Pupeeteer and Taming Desire. Gosh! Eliot's voice?! Never have I ever been this obsessed with a Chinese drama OST! I feel like Ocean and Qiu need slightly improvement in their acting but still it was good. The production team was also so good at bringing out the scenes. The earthquake scene was so hard to do but they still did so good! And I can say that even without any extreme kiss scene or NC scenes, they showed us how good chemistry is shown! One of my favorite dramas of this year. I'm gonna miss it. And petition for season two!
I signed up here just to write down the review as soon as the drama ended.

“ABO Desire” – The Omegaverse That Took Me Out ??

ABO Desire is on another level — seriously. And the craziest part? It’s from China! Like, thank you China 😭🙏 because once they start taking BL seriously, they’re going to dominate the whole industry. I’m so happy they actually released this. I thought they wouldn’t even complete it 😭

Now, let’s talk about Hua Yong. What should I even call this man? He’s too good. His expressions, that innocent face hiding something wild underneath… if you don’t know him, you’d never believe how obsessed, crazy, and delusional he can get 😭🔥 That mix of purity and madness? Iconic.

Then there’s Sheng Shaoyou. These two are absolutely insane for each other 😩 But between them, let’s be honest — Hua Yong is the real problem 😭 That man defines obsession, and that’s exactly why I love him.

And don’t even get me started on Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang. Their bond runs deep — years together, same school, same university — their dynamic is something else. The only thing that threw me off was the ending 😭 It felt too rushed. I really wanted to see Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang’s future (like, where are their kids?? 😭).

Still, Hua Yong and Sheng Shaoyou did not disappoint. The chemistry, the possessiveness, the Omegaverse tension — everything was just perfect.

If you love stories with dominant, smart, slightly unhinged male leads and chaotic passion — this one’s for you. 💅

10/10 — I read the novel and watched the series, and both were pure insanity (in the best way possible). 🫶🔥
