ABO Desire

I appreciate the effort, but...

Where I can appreciate a new type of story line in a BL without all the usual tropes and cliches, this show fails on every level on it's own. The universe that this BL takes place in, is interesting, but the execution, characters and acting is dreadful and not entertaining at all. The episodes are super boring and the show drags and is repetitive. I found the actors could seriously be replaced by cardboard cutouts and voice overs and no one would notice. If I have to read a novel first to understand what is going on in a series, then the director is not very good at story telling. I give up. For those that like this show I am honestly happy for you, but for me, this series is not my cup of tea.

the cursed bin of dogpoop

Yes this is how i want to describe this show ,when i watched secrets happened on the litchi island trust me i was literally counting days for revenged love and abo desire to air expecting these two to look atleast mildly like the secrets happend on the litchi island. Then RL happend and lets not go there tbh', it was pure garbage, then i pinned all my hopes on ABO thinking maybe it will compensate but bitch SURPRISE it was just a diffrent flavour of dogpoop (dont ask me how i know the flavors shhh) wasted potential :- the concept was so cool and knowing china is producing this it should have been at least watchable? but the execution was so bad i wanted to kms. acting:- where? is it with us in the room? it made me physically cringe like wtf, the audio quality and dialouge delivery was so bad lmao. Toxicity was the main element of this show, nothing felt natural or romantic in any way cmon china you can do better. well i forced my self to watch this show till ep 12 waiting for it to get better but it never did i feel super sad and robbed by this show it could have been such a good show if they handled it nicely.

Toxic fans stay the fuck away from me, you critise a show which legit has sexual assault in it and suddenly yall want me to take therapy and die, like girl i need therapy beacuse of THIS show

3/10
if this is china's game i would stick to my thai bls

Good but could be better

I am a huge omegaverse fan, and after the disappointment that Pitbabe was, I was so excited for this knowing there's going to be an enigma, alpha and omega + mpreg and heat/rut.

Of course it started off fantastic, the actor for Hua Yong nailed the manipulative act but other than that the acting was a lil flat, and Hua Yong's repetitive calling of the alpha got on my nerves after a while.

Then it started going downhill when the alphas literally raped their partner 💔 also I didn't like how they couldn't see in a brightly lit room their rapists?? Like at least put more effort into the editing.

Not to mention that Hua Yong literally forcibly marked him without his permission like please guys
BUT I gotta say it's very entertaining and I'm always curious as to what happens next.
Overall it was alright, I would watch it again but the plot and acting are lacking a bit.

Hua Yang why you gonna be like that ?

For all who enjoyed this show good for you
I did too till I learnt from the novel that there’s grape from the mc 🤦🏽‍♀️
I can’t possibly root for someone who continually deceives and hurts the person he claims to love so much.

SPOILERS FROM THE NOVEL
Imagine your bf being tormented 😫 thinking you went through hell that you were gang graped and he did everything to rescue you from that hell only for it not be true just a part of your ploy to get your bf madly in love with you.

Copy and pasted comment left by someone on the novel:

“May this type of love/lover never find me.

Hua Yong, you’re a deranged bastard!”

With that I’ll be dropping it
Too bad I love Chinese 🥺☹️😩
But I can’t stand unrepentant grapists and terrible people that think can get away with anything and still justify it because they’re doing it cuz they love the person,

ABO Desire: Honestly a 100/10 BL

ABO Desire: The Series is honestly a 100/10 BL, no exaggeration. From the first episode itself, it pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The ABO concept is handled so well — not messy, not overdone — just perfectly woven into the story. Everything feels intense but classy at the same time.

Hua Yong is THE heart of the show. Calm, smart, layered, and so attractive without even trying. Every scene with him hits different. The chemistry is insane, but it’s not loud — it’s in the looks, the silence, the tension. Slow burn done absolutely right.

The story respects the audience, the characters, and the genre. No unnecessary drama, no cringe — just pure emotional depth and controlled desire. You finish the series and just sit there like… wow.

If you love mature BLs with brains, feelings, and unreal tension, Desire isn’t just good — it’s unforgettable. 100/10, no notes. 💯🔥

ABO Desire is charting new territory for BLs

ABO has been around for a long, long time. It is a category of fandom space I never dared to think we'd see a live version of. Pit Babe name dropped ABO but didn't really fulfill the elements of it and instead left a lot of people confused on if it was or wasn't ABO at all. And then the trailer for this series was released and it almost seemed too good to be true. A CBL about ABO? It had a lot of us holding our breaths because we all know how the CBL journey has been and well, it's never good to get TOO invested in anything that is dropping from that region.

But ABO Desire did the impossible and it did it in a way that was true to the ABO realm and didn't shy away from any of it's elements. This is an incredible first for any BL. I give so many props to NJ, the actors, and the production team for also standing behind this project so confidently and with so much heart.

The story is largely about Hua Yong and his obsession with Sheng Shao You and I honestly don't have a single complaint with this story line. I think Eliot and Qiu did an amazing job stepping into the skins of these characters and truly committing to bringing them to life. One of the things I loved the most was the way their power was their absolute duality. Hua pretending to be an Omega, but revealing he's Enigma. The way Shao You never lost the edge of his S Class Alpha, but how he glowed beautifully after being marked by Hua.

Truly the only real issue I had with this series is the second couple storyline which seemed to spin its wheels week after week and somehow never resolved itself in a satisfactory way by the finale. I feel like a true disservice has been done to the character Gao Tu, who was the bearer of so much pain that he was never able to actually vocalize. Peien is a masterclass in acting, because even though Gao Tu's lines throughout the series could fill a single sheet of paper, his expressive emoting filled the quiet spaces with so much heartache. It left us all rooting for all of that pain to be worth it in some sense, by Shen Wenlang apologizing, but in the end this was never realized.

In the same, Jiang Heng's acting was top class, but it's unfortunate that he was handed such a one dimensional character to portray. There was never character growth, it was just the same DENSE brain space for 16 episodes.

I think what truly needs to be acknowledged is that ABO Desire was never intended to be a perfect series and trust me, it wasn't perfect at all. But even though there were things that could've been better, things that we could've done without and things we could've done with more of -- ABO Desire still succeeded by being the first and the most iconic drop from China in a long time.

We can already see the way this has set the foundation for other BLs and I'm personally sat for any future projects that may drop in this lane. And while ABO Desire itself is done, I am also excited for this casts future projects, whether that's a new series or their Desire4 group. They're quite literally doing what no other could do from China and I'm so very invested in what the future holds for them.

TLDR:

Pros:
- Actually ABO - the first of its kind
- Great cast / great acting
- Amazing sets and clothing
- MPREG!!!!
- Enigma Hua Yong is everything

Cons:
- Story flow could've been better: felt like the tires were spinning in place at times
- 2nd couple didn't have a good enough resolve by the end - JUSTICE FOR GAO TU SPECIFICALLY
- While I know the time skip was necessary, I never really like them in any series and that feeling didn't change here
- I'm not sure if 16 eps was enough for this series, or if the writing / pacing of the story was just too slow.

Overall:
- I would watch it again and it's solid series for the first of its kind.

My obsession and love for Hua Yong?❤️

I cannot believe I almost missed this masterpiece 🤌😭
Honestly, when I first heard they've shown male pregnancy, I was almost set that I'm gonna drop this and will not watch it. Then people told me “Not to miss this masterpiece" and I'm very glad I listened to them. I mean I rated it 10/10, I can't even remember when was the last time I rated a series 10/10.

Okay, here it is, it's going to be long so take your time reading it.

I myself am not very familiar with the ABO concept so 1st and 2nd episodes were the learning phase for me. From 3rd episode, I started catching up and I got HOOKED🤌❤️

At first during the 3rd and 4th episode, I was kinda mad at Hua Yong for being so manipulative honestly (later when I saw the whole thing I kinda understood why he did what he did)

Honestly, episode 5 left me speechless and I had so many questions at that moment and this episode was when I finally "accepted” Hua Yong is a maniac 🫣 I mean to change expression as quickly as he did when that detective entered the room was insane🤌
And the way he was acting like HE was abused by "Alphas” was actually pretty crazy.

By episode 6th, I was kinda done with how naive Hua Yong would behave in front of Sheng Shao You. Like he's so pitiful and innocent (with the devil inside). But that honestly was pretty annoying but I moved past it, again, as I realised why he did what he did.

Now, let's take a moment and talk about episode 9 for a moment. I seriously don't know what to say but at the same time I have a lot to say. Firstly, I did not expect their first time to be like this (I know it's something out of the box but I honestly didn't), secondly, bro wtf? Like I understand it was your rut and you didn't have control over it but to freaking leave the next day and to tell him this via A LETTER??? Bro are you crazy?
The way Mr. Sheng cried for him, it just broke my heart into a million pieces 💔
I mean I understand you wanted him to develop that dependency on you and for that to happen, you had to be away from him for a while, but Hua Yong could at least have chosen a better time for that. I think Mr. Sheng needed him the most at the point, I mean that proud S-class Alpha was just r**ed, doesn't matter if that was you or not, you could have at least been there for him.

But by episode 11th, I finally realised whatever Hua Yong did was for the best (for himself). I mean he has been following him for 15 years so it's very obvious that he knows he'll not accept an Alpha nor will he accept an illegitimate child. Honestly I don't know why but I expected Mr. Sheng would accept Hua Yong that very same day, maybe in a couple of minutes or so.
Although he didn't accept him so easily, it was very clear that Hua Yong was successful in making it almost impossible for Mr. Sheng to live without Hua Yong. So I think it's safe to say that Hua Yong knew what he was doing and he did his part very well.

In episode 14th, when Hua Yong threatens the doc saying, “you're telling my Alpha to sleep with other Omegas?” I believe this line was the final breakthrough for me to fall madly in love with Hua Yong🤌😭❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why but the way he said it was just🤌🤤
After this my obsession and love for Hua Yong just kept growing and growing 🫶❤️

I was kinda disappointed with the ending because it was too rushed, I expected it to have a proper ending. But ehh at least they gave an amazing show and Hua Yong, so I won't complain much😂❤️

This absolutely is a must watch and if like me, you're also concerned about the male pregnancy thing, then I'll tell you what someone in the comments told me, the male pregnancy thing has not been shown a lot, it's just in the last 1 or 2 episodes and that too, not in the appearance but they're just talking about it and no it's not really weird. Rest assured, it's definitely, DEFINITELY, a must watch drama🤌❤️❤️❤️
