People should read other ABO novels first before judging this! And petition for season 2!
Honestly, at first I was hesitating whether to watch the drama or not. After starting and watching first two or three episodes, I was pissed at Hua Yong. But later when I read the novel and saw his story, I understood his situation. Many people are hating Hua Yong saying he doesn't deserve Sheng.But you have to realise that if Hua Yong wasn't this persistent, he would have ended up the same way as Gao Tu with a long unrequited love for over 15 years. Approaching him honestly? Do you guys really think Sheng would have accepted him who didn't even believe in the existence of Enigmas?! How could that man take such risk about his only lifeline?! Beside he didn't really hurt him or others anytime without a reason. He never told him that he was an omega. The only time he lied was when he hide from Sheng saying Wenlang took him which was also to protect Sheng during his rut.
Didn't Gao Tu also lie about his identity? He also lied since Wenlang doesn't like omegas. So how are his lies justified but Hua's aren't?! Just because Gao Tu is the bottom and His is the top. That man even wanted to cut off his glands and remain as a beta just to be with Sheng.
I hope people would read the novel first before criticizing Hua's character as the series cut down many parts of Hua's backstory. That man never got the love or affection from his family and had to always fight for his survival. His mother taught him not to show emotions, his foster mother kept him cold and hungry, other kids bullied him for thinking him omega, his brothers bullied him even though he was just by himself. So when he got someone who genuinely cared for him and saw how he cares even for an illegitimate child(since Hua is also an illegitimate), he held onto him like this was the only lifeline of his life.. So he had to do everything possible to grab his attention and make sure he loves him back since Sheng was also quite of a playboy and hard to persue.
Many people blame him for the grape scene. But you can see that he really tried for so many years. He literally built a special room and chained himself with the best door lock system fearing of hurting Sheng. But if you read OMEGAVERSE, you'd know that they are basically animals during their ruts without any self control. But the next time they did it, you can see that Hua asked for Sheng's permission again and again making sure Sheng knows who he is being with.
Sheng also grew up in a family which made him never believe in eternal relationship. So I believe he needed someone as persistent and promising as Hua Yong. He also could never hate Hua cuz he also knows that Hua's whole world revolves around him.
And I swear the production team just won a jackpot with the casting specially Eliot. He portrayed both the enigma and omega role so perfectly. If you read the novel, you'd know that this character is really hard to portray since the character seems mostly expressionless but expresses a lot in just micro second movements of eyes. But Eliot didn't give any scope of criticism. He nailed it. He is the life of the series. Whenever I read the novel's Hua Yong's parts, I'm always like "That's Eliot!"
Next the people who are saying Gao Tu and Wenlang didn't get enough screen time. I agree. This could have been better. Even the NongJian sisters cried saying the people they trusted were so bad that they are also disappointed. But one thing we have to know it's the novel also doesn't show there parts that much. They are the second couple for a reason and won't get equal time as the main couple. Honestly at some point I was annoyed by the obliviousness of both Wenlang and Gao Tu!But I'd still hope for an extended episode or season two for more of their story.
The OSTs?! Oh wow! I was in love with Pupeeteer and Taming Desire. Gosh! Eliot's voice?! Never have I ever been this obsessed with a Chinese drama OST! I feel like Ocean and Qiu need slightly improvement in their acting but still it was good. The production team was also so good at bringing out the scenes. The earthquake scene was so hard to do but they still did so good! And I can say that even without any extreme kiss scene or NC scenes, they showed us how good chemistry is shown! One of my favorite dramas of this year. I'm gonna miss it. And petition for season two!
I signed up here just to write down the review as soon as the drama ended.
