Please, the moment it was revealed it was a marriage of convenience Pin should’ve known what the prince his feelings would be. Not to mention the numerous other signs she conveniently ignored. They both tried to talk to her but Pin didnt want to hear it. What else was she supposed to do, maybe let go of her selfish feelings and actually try to help. This is the whole reason Lavender Marriages exist, Pin could have said I know you don’t love me, but I still would like to marry you. After the marriage we can both have our partners, that way she still would be “saved” from her family. You cannot force love!

I can’t remember if it was mentioned in the series but in the novel it is mentioned that HY has had mate seeking syndrome since he was 17 or 18. A normal rut is about a week long, but for HY those rut extended because of the mate seeking syndrome (which with time make those ruts more and more unbearable) to about half a month to a month. In the series it looks like HY disappears (fake kidnapping by SWL) for only a couple of days, in the novel HY is away for about a month. The series also didnt really do justice to the way HY is being chained/locked up. The novel described it as HY being chained up by his limbs with military rate chains, infused with pheromone suppressant, same with the walls. The door is make to withstand any pheromone scents coming through. HY bites and scratches himself bloody during those mate seeking ruts (especially his wrists). When he actually escapes his rut has completely taken over, he has no control over himself. Some people have said that all 4 were actually SA that night, and I do agree with that partially. For all 4, pheromones took over making them lose control. They were more like wild animals at that point, especially HY, whose ruts are unbearably painful.

I would recommend reading the novel after the series, there are scenes that are just better explained in it compared to the series. There are also a couple topics in the discussion board here on this page (you need to use the website of MDL, in the app it won’t show these) that explain why HY had to go through such drastic measures to “get” SSY.

I do hope that you will enjoy the series.

Couldnt agree more! Ive been saying since episode 4 that Pin is a type of character that will cause drama and problems, friends of mine were like 50/50, others indeed fell for the whole fake sweet and innocent act. If she really actually loved and cherished the prince she would want to help them. Pin couldve gone, hey I know you are not in love with me and this marriage purely out of convenience, how about I help you and we get married but we both have our lovers on the side (lavender marriage). But no miss I want him and I’m going to get him is to selfish and self absorbed to think about others!

Can’t get enough of that moment where HM and XY learned that HC isnt actually HMs. The way XY/Lusi laid into Fang Lei was beautiful, beautiful scene and beautiful acting from Lusi. Loved the series, I really liked it. So far this year there have only been a few Chinese series that I really liked and completely finished. I liked that the sisters know how to move past their issues and by doing that get a very tight bond. The only thing I do feel is that the last 2 episodes feel a bit rushed. But after watching quite a few Chinese period dramas, I know it’s kind of typical to rush the ending and/or that any conflicts get a “fixed” quite easily. I also would’ve liked to have seen HC in the final episode, let them actually feel like a family.

9/10

Love in the Moonlight
The Journey to Kill You
Punk Triangle

These series are currently airing, the first 2 are more drama heavy, especially the first one.
The last is a more cute JBL, I found the fist episode very enjoyable and easy to watch.

Rumors have it that the next project for Eliot and Kipuka is a live-action adaptation of the BL novel Tenacious Illness.

The only thing from those points thats was explained in the novel was that GT and SWL had a clearer ending seen from Lele’s perspective. The rest of the points you mentioned were never addressed in the novel. But I do agree, I would’ve liked to see them too in the series.

Edit; rumors have it that the next project for Eliot and Kipuka is a live-action adaptation of the BL novel Tenacious Illness.

Hate how the sister got favorite by the parents, I’m at episode 4.

Absolutely and that beautiful bouquet toss. Love how in the novel HY and SSY got married on the 12th of October and now the actors themselves give the bouquet toss.

I know right?! So many wonderful moments came from this fanmeet ♥️

Eliot and Kipuka giving each other flying kisses ♥️♥️

The wall of flowers was just meant for decoration, the flowers won’t go to the actors. It’s different.

For you it might not be a masterpiece, for others it is. Ratings reflect the opinion somebody had for the series. For you it’s an average BL, for others it’s not. I absolutely hated My Golden Blood and finished it somehow, my rating reflects my opinion. But others raved about it being an masterpiece.

Some rate it high because it’s a new genre, some rated it because they felt a connection to it, some rate it out of respect for the team, some rate it for whatever other reason. I myself rated it a 10, because it made me excited every week to watch, I rated it that because I loved the main couple. I rated it that because of what I said in my original post, the team worked their butts of. I also rated it a ten because the storyline, acting and characters were great. I didn’t care much about the second couple, so it didn’t effect my rating, but I can still sympathize with the second couple fans. I also rated it that because it has become my comfort series, and I have rewatched it too many times already.

Everybody has their own reasons to rate the series a certain way. You may not agree with that, same way I don’t agree with the massive down voting that is currently happening, but it is what it is.

So now people are even starting to compare this to Thai BL, let’s be real. Thailand didnt even dare to touch Omegaverse, it’s because Desire has been received so well, that Thailand is now trying to make another Omegaverse. The NJ sisters had a lot of balls to even dare to make an Omegaverse series, and an M-preg to boot! While being in one of the most homophobic countries in the world! They took their own money and made a series for us, was it perfect? No it wasn’t. Had it plotholes? Sure. But nobody can deny that the entire team didnt work their butts of to give a good series.

Fine if you want to down vote it, not like the sisters or actors are going to go by the rating on MDL. Desire has been practically week after week number one most popular and most watched series, that’s what they are looking at. Stream Rating (or TV ratings), merge (the magazines for example) being sold is what they are looking at, how many fans visit fanmeets or concerts, how much social media content the series and actors are getting. And so far all of that is out shining all these negative comments here.

I enjoyed the series, could it have been longer? Sure. Were the sisters able to make a longer series? For what ever reason that was not possible. Could they have edited it differently? Yeah they could have. But let’s have a bit patience and see what the sisters will give extra. Revenged Love ended what, 9/10 weeks ago and new BTS are still coming out.

Thank you ♥️

Started today, does the mother of Hao Ming get any better, or does she stay this frosty towards Xu Yan?

Why would I need to argue? I said what I needed to say. There are opinions and there is bullying.

You always have the option to block my account. Clearly you camp just as much on this page as I do, if you have seen many of my past comments! Also you reacted to me. Have a nice day!

I know the story, I read the novel! I still stand by my opinion even knowing the story. They portrayed his story fine in the series compared to the novel.

Oh please, there is opinions and there is straight up bullying! Have you even been in this comment section the past 13 weeks? If you had been, you would know it was personal towards the actors!
