I don’t like the whole aspect of the omegaverse, a new type of gender bending caused by a virus that blurs the lines between male and female. ABO is the new gender. Let’s just say I find it cringe-worthy, but I’m still watching because the whole thing is strangely interesting. I don’t even know why I’m sticking with it, but I guess I’m in love with the second couple, and now I’m emotionally invested against my will.. As for the plot, it’s not terrible, but the business side of things kind of bores me. I guess I just have a low attention span when it comes to that stuff.

=======The main couple: Hua Yong and Sheng Shao You=======

Hua Yong, the enigma, is everything I never knew I needed in a drama character, but also a masterclass in manipulation, and honestly, I’m living for it. I love a good twisted tale with deceit, secret identities, and all the psycho-level scheming. Hua Yong’s got this incredible duality; he’s the innocent, vulnerable, sweet guy when he’s around Sheng, and then the moment Sheng turns his back, he’s a cold, powerful, violent mastermind. It's like watching a switch flip, and I can’t get enough of it.

And let’s be real: Hua Yong’s basically a professional stalker. The man’s obsessed with Sheng, but in the most calculated, methodical way possible. Honestly, I feel like this guy’s got a PhD in psychological manipulation. He’s wormed his way into Sheng’s life so sneakily that by the time Sheng finds out what’s really going on, he’ll be so far gone that he’ll forgive him in a heartbeat. It’s like peak manipulation energy, and yet, I can’t look away. I know I should hate it—stalking’s messed up, and the fact that it’s a little glorified here doesn’t sit well with me, but damn, it makes the drama so much more fun.

Now, let’s talk about Sheng. He’s this S-class alpha, dominant, aggressive, the whole package. He’s got that intimidating, powerful vibe going for him, but this guy is so ignorant and naive. He’s completely oblivious to the fact that Hua Yong is playing him like a fiddle. Sheng’s out here thinking he’s in control, but Hua Yong is pulling all the strings, and he doesn’t even know it. It’s like watching someone walk straight into their own downfall, and I’m here for it. The second Hua Yong’s truth comes out, it’s game over for Sheng. I’m just waiting for that explosive moment when the blinders finally come off.

This manipulative Hua Yong is so absolutely ridiculous. We know he’s scheming and constantly testing Sheng, but it’s peak comedy at its finest. The way he cries and sheds a tear like a vulnerable deer. The way his mannerisms mimic that of a defenseless creature. This guy is just too much; it’s funny. I can’t help but laugh every time he plays his part as the damsel-omega, and Sheng is just there thinking this guy is sacrificing everything for him (especially in episode 10). Now I can't wait for Hua Yong to pursue Sheng now that the secret is out of the bag.

=======The Second Couple: Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang=======

Now these two? My absolute favourites.............The chemistry between Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang is next-level intense, and their story is heartbreakingly tragic, especially considering Gao Tu’s past. And then there’s Shen Wenlang, bless his heart. He’s funny, jealous, and just so aggressively protective, and has a harsh way of speaking, which often comes across as childish. He also has this hilarious, almost toxic “friendship” with Hua Yong, and their banter is honestly the highlight of the show.

Then there’s Gao Tu. He’s just pitiful. Hiding his true omega identity for years, risking his health, and carrying a 10-year crush on someone who doesn’t even know his true self, he’s the one character in the series who really gets to me. Gao Tu decided to conceal his identity after his mother warned him that his father might use it against him. To cover it up, he pretends to be a beta and claims to have asthma, a decent excuse, since omegas are at the bottom of the social hierarchy. What makes it worse is that his long-term crush, Shen, despises omegas, so Gao Tu keeps up the fake beta act just to stay close to him. His reckless use of suppressants and medication is only damaging his health, but even with all that, he’s still my favorite character in the series, alongside his doctor.

I just need more of Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang. I’m completely obsessed with them. Every moment, every interaction, the way they care for each other but don’t even realize it... It’s like my heart can’t take it. They’re my ultimate weakness. Honestly, I can’t get enough of them; I just want more. I’m in love with this couple, and I won’t even pretend to be ashamed about it!

At the beginning of this series, Gao Tu was my favorite, but that has shifted entirely. I truly love Shen Wen Lang. Every time he appears on screen, you know there’s never going to be a dull moment, especially with that mouth of his. He is ridiculously funny, and he truly cares for Gao Tu as well as Hau Yong, but no one can see that.

=======M-pregnancy========

To be honest, even though I don't like the concept of omegaverse, I can't wait to see Gao Tu and Sheng pregnant. I really want to see their kids.

=======The production/music/acting=======

While the acting can be a bit cringeworthy at times, it doesn’t completely ruin the plot. The editing could definitely use some work; some scenes feel oddly angled, and the dialogue drags in places. Despite that, I’m still hooked, even though the pacing can be slow at times. The fighting and mixed martial arts scenes? Just too cringeworthy. I honestly have to look away. They need a serious overhaul, because right now, they’re just painful to watch. The music also leaves something to be desired. The intro is fine, but after that, it feels like I’m stuck in an elevator with a never-ending loop. The pacing is a bit too slow, and certain scenes drag too much. I find myself sometimes speeding it up to 1.5x.

=======Final thoughts=======

Would I recommend this? Eh, not really sure. I'm just here for the cringe that is the omegaverse, and of course, Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang.
