A Guilty Pleasure
Ok, I'll be honest. As a straight woman, there are no words to explain how exciting a good BL show is. Plus, I recently learned about the "omegaverse," and that was enough to pique my curiosity, but I wasn't in the mood to read any manhwas.
I started watching this show randomly based on a user's list of recommendations on IMDB. Imagine my surprise when I saw the acronym "ABO" spray painted on the wheel in the background at exactly 7:43 minutes in episode one. I squealed because I knew I was in for a treat!
True, the storyline and plot are simplistic, even cheesy at times.... and yet I still couldn't look away 'cause it was so SPICEY!!! Let me tell you (and spoiler alert)... in a certain episode, when Wu Suo Wei finally took the lead and embraced Chi Cheng with a kiss, I started cheering him on. Then when he bit Chi Cheng on the neck, cried, and said "YOU'RE MINE".... I near lost my marbles... lol.
I'm ashamed to have enjoyed this series so much! Normally I'm picky about depth of content and all that.... but a good BL turns me into a simple woman... I see attractive boys embracing and I start giggling like a schoolgirl.
This show gets a 9/10 on the guilty pleasure scale.
