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.

What really pulled me in even more is the unique pairing, Enigma and S-Alpha. It’s not something you see every day in BL or A/B/O stories, and that makes it super refreshing. The story already seems really interesting.
I’m definitely looking forward to more episodes. I feel like this is going to be a standout BL. Can’t wait to see where their relationship goes! 💙

Desire
As omegaverse OG,I am so happy for this series because it brings my years of au reading into life. We get to see Pheromones,the RUT and othersThe storyline is so captivating and I can’t wait to see plot unfolds. The actors aren’t just cute but also good in acting. They portray the characters so well. And the budget of the series is budgeting .
If you are looking for a new and refreshing story outside normal bl stories then Desire is for you. But don’t fall in love with my babies Hua and Gao 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

One word - SIZZLING!!! Go watch.....WAIT...WTF was that ending!!!!!!
Damn!! This is sooooooo good.....woof!!! Yes, that's what I wrote after Ep 3 and continued to be convinced till Ep 15.....and then, we had THAT ending!!!! You can watch for how good Hua's actor is, but don't expect too much...and definitely not any redemption. I am downgrading it to 7.5 for that rushed and shitty ending!Please be aware that this a Omegaverse story that involves fantasy setting of men getting pregnant, etc., so check that bit out before you start watching.
BL-needle score: 7. Reasonable BL-ness. Frankly, I'm at a loss with this score for this show since it is hardly a quintessential BL. May be I need to revise the constituent of my BL-needle score. I probably will if there are enough content like this coming our way. :D
This show has all the potential to change how BLs are made and consumed....the script, production, acting, every damn thing is so much more matured than almost 90% of the BL dramas that we see. I have rarely come across BL shows that invested so much in its script, nuance and small details, that I see in this show, which is an absolutely welcome change. I just hope it doesn't get stuck mid-way with the whole censorship miasma in China for BL content.
While the story itself may not appeal to those who have issues with the Omegaverse, I would say that if you are giving this a miss because of that, you'll loose out

love it so muchhh
My first BL manhwa was an omegaverse, so when I heard about this series, I didn't hesitate to start watching it right away. I'm not used to watching BL bcz I'm picky (the only one I've watched before is The Untamed), so this series is my second. i saw some people say it's cringe because of the omegaverse concepts like heats and pheromones, but honestly, that’s missing the bigger picture. For long-time BL readers, especially those into omegaverse, this series is a DREAM COME TRUE—it’s the first time we’re seeing these stories, which were once only in novels or comics, come to life in live-action. I love everything about it!Was this review helpful to you?
100% Recommend
As someone who has consistently watched BL series from various countries and is also a fan of omegaverse stories, I have to say that I am obsessed with this series. I've been rewatching it to an unhealthy degree, and the characters are constantly on my mind. For me, it deserves a perfect 10/10. Will I rewatch it? YES!!Was this review helpful to you?
Hooked
I know the show has only just released 3 episodes, but I'm genuinely hooked on it. I also am happy that the omegaverse lore is actually accurate. I am entirely convinced at least one of the people in the writer's room has an ao3 account. You could tell me all of them do with the only proof being this show and I would believe you.Anyway 100% do watch if you are into that trope. (btw it's not a fade to black kind of show so far when it comes to kissing like some other BLs are)

I'm full invested and can't wait for each Saturday
As a fan of BL dramas, the first three episodes of *Desire* immediately pulled me in with its daring take on the ABO (Alpha, Beta, Omega, Enigma) dynamic. The chemistry between the leads is electric, and the tension is thick with both emotional and physical desire. The world-building is surprisingly solid for a genre that often leans more on romance than lore, and each episode leaves just enough mystery to keep me wanting more. The pacing is tight, the acting feels natural, and I’m already invested in how their bond will evolve. If the rest of the series holds up, this might just become one of my new favorites.Was this review helpful to you?
MY FIRST ABO DRAMA
it's been a while o don't write a review be the drama is "b aja / that it", but after i watch this one.. Idk how to feel but i'm obsessed with them. The story is sooo fresh like just out from the freezer, really cool and something new theme in bl drama series. I know abo is old-old wattpad story, but not with series like there's no country that bought this theme to their series, even thai that lgbt is legal(they had but just a bit, not the main story) and china make it even it's illegal in their country. Wow, i'm never expected to this time..I'm never read abo theme bl, but because of this series, i became interesting with abo theme. It's definitely so good drama, the actors, the story, everything even for 3 episode. It's exciting me when watch it, really best drama. If i can tell what bl drama the best in this year, i will tell proudly with this one, ABO DESIRE!
If you never watch or read abo theme, you'll addicted to this series, seriously. Try one and you will not disappointed or even need even more, XD
