I honestly didn’t expect much at first, considering China’s strict stance against LGBT content, but ABO Desire turned out to be a pleasant surprise. When I first watched the trailer, I was confused about who’s who — but once I started Episode 1, all the confusion disappeared. The story was clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who’s new to the omegaverse genre.

The actors are incredibly handsome, and each character has a distinct personality that makes them stand out. Even the smallest expressions and gestures were pleasing to watch. I also like watching stories involving superpowers and action, so it’s really down my alley. I’ve always been into superhero and fantasy genres, so the concept of pheromone-based powers was something I’d never seen before, and I found it really creative.

I do have to say that the nonconsensual scenes and deception made me feel uncomfortable — those parts honestly made me cringe. And though the characters kept mentioning being “in rut” or “in heat,” when the intimate scenes finally happened, they didn’t feel very passionate. Honestly, I wanted to see a bit more skin, but they stayed fully dressed during those moments. Still, I’ve accepted that this isn’t that kind of drama, especially considering it came from China, where such themes are usually restricted. Overall, I enjoyed it very much!
