So binge-worthy
This is the very first drama that I’ve been religiously catching the very day they release an episode. I’ve always been able to resist temptation and wait for the entire series to be out before I watch it. But Desire’s plot is too intriguing, the actors are too good looking, the dialogue too salacious (ep 9)…, especially for a Mainland China production.The actors played their roles spot on. Eliot Huang is perfect to play Hua Rong. He has the gentility and daintiness of Sheng Shao Yao’s preference of Omega one minute and the calculating dominance of an Enigma the next minute. It is amusing watching HR’s exchanges with Shen Wen Lang with whom he shows his true self. Equally interesting is watching a proud S-class Alpha like SSY continually make concessions (not having s*x for one) for Hua Rong while it binds SSY ever closer. All a part of HR’s carefully laid plans.
I can’t wait til next week when we’ll see how SSY treats HR now that HR’s real identity as the head of X Holdings is out and the extent of HR’s manipulations is revealed. After Ep 10, SSY now believes HR to be another S-class Alpha. Will he know the extent of HR’s duplicity? Will he connect HR to the person who overpowered and then had relations with him? (To pre-empt anyone who has strong feelings about this, I apologize beforehand for any offense. I don’t really analyze all their social ramifications when watching these dramas. I just take it as face value. It’s fiction and purely story telling to me). That said, I can’t stand the wait.. truly a delicious watch, a guilty pleasure.
