ABO Desire

I appload everyone involved for pulling this off

Is this show perfect? No. Is this one of the best BLs out there? Also, no. But despite all this, I applaud to everyone involved, especially lead actors for taking the risk to get this project done. And trust me when I say it's risky, I mean. I'm from the country with the same views on queer content as China. So, I'm not going to b**ch on here why the drama lacked. I'm an older viewer and writer of queer content and even the west hasn't dared to adapt decent queer literature for TV, let alone an omegaverse source material. And we don't lack the material. Trust me. Tons of books to choose from to adapt.

So, I simply will say this, just watch it, enjoy the chemistry between actors and the magic and stop looking for things to neatpick. I don't know if there rumours are true and we'll see more projects from the sisters or the CPs, but I do hope so.

I've never been this happy to watch a queer C-drama sinceThe Untamed. And even then, they really did us dirty with the adaptation by turning it into something it was not.

P.S. I will probably rewatch this in the future. And I do not rewatch the shows or re-read the books with rare exceptions.

Arghh I like them so much

Honestly, I really like all of them in ABO Desire. If I close my eyes and randomly choose one of the cast, I don’t think I would ever make a wrong choice because all of them are seriously handsome and hot. Their visuals alone are enough to catch attention, but what makes it even better is that their acting is totally top tier. Every scene feels alive because they put so much emotion and intensity into their characters. It’s not just about looks, but also about how convincingly they bring out the complicated feelings, the conflicts, and the obsession that this story is known for.

Among all the characters, Hua Yong is definitely my favorite. He’s really crazy in love and so obsessed with Sheng Shaoyou. That obsession makes him unpredictable, sometimes dangerous, but also really captivating to watch. The way he expresses his emotions, the passion and desperation, it really hits hard and makes the audience glued to the screen. His character shows how love can turn into both strength and weakness, and honestly, it’s addictive to watch his every move.

Sheng Shaoyou, on the other hand, is like the calm yet powerful Alpha. His presence is strong, and the way he handles all the situations shows maturity, but also a side of vulnerability that makes him lovable. Gao Tu is such a pitiful character at times, and I can’t help but feel sorry for him. His struggles, his attempts to hide his identity, and the way he gets caught up in everything make me want to hug him. And Wenlang… when I catch you, seriously, you make me so frustrated yet you keep the drama spicy.

Overall, the story, the cast, and the emotions all blend perfectly. It’s messy, it’s dramatic, it’s intense, but that’s what makes ABO Desire such an addictive watch.

Unexpectedly interesting

Worried since this is the first time an ABO series is being filmed and thought it won't be done properly. But man was I wrong.
Its really good; well atleast the first 3 episodes, praying that it maintains the same quality throughout.
Anddddddd Feng Jianyu from Counterattack fame is here as a secretary. Super excited to see him, its been such a long time since counterattack , though I wish he had a bigger role. I had to really squint and recheck to make sure wasnt seeing things. So glad to see a familiar face. Though the timing is funny coz Revenged Love, a remake of counterattack, has also been released. 2025 is just awesome.

Such squandered potential yet the best Omegaverse so far.

Will forever be iconic for giving us the first on-screen omegaverse Mpreg.
This had all the potential to be a game changer, but alas. Never in my life I thought I would be able to watch a fully fledged omegaverse (heat & mpreg & everything) live action, that too from china, but holy sh*t! The world is either ending or healing.
I really wanted it to be a masterpiece, but it falls short due to several factors. The writing is the major issue, especially in the latter half. No time to develop the most interesting aspects of the series. It should've had more episodes for a better cohesive end result. Don't even get me started on the ending, soo rushed & unsatisfying.

Acting is okay, the major plus is that they have all convincingly acted out the ABO aspects as it does not come across as jarring.
I'm pretty sure the makers did not expect everyone to love the second couple more than the first. They do have the more interesting dynamic despite having so little screen time.
A lot of people are confused about the ABOE thing & they should've explained it better.

Some tropes are better left unwritten: the omegaverse edition

Omegaverse has infiltrated the world of entertainment nowadays, rearing its head in books, fanfiction, comics, dramas, etc. Invaluable time and money is poured into it when BL/gay media is censored or underappreciated and left to wither in the shadows

Although I'm a devoted fan of BL, my devotion doesn't extend to "futanari" and its derivatives (e.g., omegaverse, gender bender). They're at odds with my values and a source of frustration for me for 4 principal reasons:
1. Their homophobia,
2. Their fetishistic appropriation of opposite-sex physical characteristics,
3. Their pro-birth ideology, and
4. Their inaccurate branding as BL/gay content

I'll give a quick rundown of my reasoning

*The homophobia*
-2 points

Society craves children as fodder for its ever-churning, self-destructive machinery of exploitation, and it's this craving that vilifies/demonizes gay relationships. By design, and absent of human greed or undue interference with the body's natural functioning, non-straight relationships are non-procreative, defying the demand for a continuous supply of fresh consumers and workers. The natural deviation from the established norm provokes society's irrational wrath, which manifests in the abhorrent desire to feminize male characters or masculinize female characters. The men are feminized through the imposition of female anatomy (e.g., vulva, vagina, uterus) and capacity for pregnancy, while the women are masculinized through the imposition of male anatomy (e.g., penis, testes) and capacity for impregnation

Characters are warped into paradoxical feminine-masculine hybrids at best, caricatures of the opposite sex at worst. Prisoners of their own bodies, their worth is degraded to that of a factory-grade "impregnating" and/or "birthing" machine. The omegaverse forces of pheromones, heats, and ruts further strip them of the freedom to carve their own paths and relationships. They're unable to break free from the stifling straightness/heteronormativity that defines their everyday interactions

This dystopian perversion of human bodies proves society's true intention: to erase non-straight/non-procreative relationships and maintain its iron grip on conformity

*The fetishistic appropriation of opposite-sex physical characteristics*
-2 points

People pursue what they can't have in an effort to fill a perceived void in their lives. They've at times coveted the womb's capacity to bear life (womb envy) and the penis's association with dominance (penis envy). Moved by the envy, they appropriate the appearances that resemble those of the opposite sex. Their minds wander to a fictional combination of male and female characteristics within a single form; a futa, an omega, or a Frankenstein's monster of sorts

They turn from the truth that the characteristics separating men and women aren't blemishes or shortcomings to be "fixed." Each male or female body is complete in its own right

*The pro-birth ideology*
-2 points

The contention that omegaverse is but a figment of imagination, a whimsical flight of fancy, does little to nullify my objections against it. Beneath the surface is a troubling fetishization of the pregnant form that espouses a pro-birth ideology. Omegaverse contributes to the sociocultural paradigm that sanctifies birth and ascribes it a revered, near-spiritual status

I take the opposite stance that birth holds no inherent beauty. Pregnancy is a grueling, unsightly process that exacts a heavy toll on the body, compromising the well-being of the being that endures it. Furthermore, "procreation" is an egregious imposition of the highest order, an act that binds a new helpless being to the chains of life's trials, tribulations, and uncertainties. Its media glorification is irresponsible and an affront to the very notion of morality

"Not to be born at all
Is best, far best that can befall, ...
... For when youth passes with its giddy train,
Troubles on troubles follow, toils on toils,
Pain, pain for ever pain;
And none escapes life’s coils
Envy, sedition, strife,
Carnage and war, make up the tale of life" (Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus)

Our society's imperfect. There's no reason to fabricate an alternate pro-birth society burdened with greater cracks and fissures than ours

In the event that one's gripped by a desire to nurture a child, I believe the commendable path towards parenthood would be to consider adoption and provide a secure, loving home to an existing child that's been unfortunate enough to journey through life

*The branding*
-2 points

I believe the capacity for pregnancy is exclusive to women. Men can't experience it, or they'd cease to be men. It's thus incorrect to label as gay or BL the "straight" interactions of fictional characters capable of pregnancy. They belong to a different category

TL;DR The drama earns 2 points for trying, and loses 8 for its omegaverse themes and reluctance to commit to a gay storyline
