I'm glad they dropped 3 episodes at a go because the first 2 episodes were very confusing but somehow episode…
The main confusion in my opinion is that they introduced two Mr Shens, who both work in BioTech and both wear indistinguishable grey suits, and Huo Yong copied the appearance of someone they showed in the beginning. By episode 2 it gets better, by ep 3 it's perfect, but only if you are previously acquainted with ABO universe.
Comments suggest that even though series did a good job by explaining ABO universe laws, many people who have never read it get confused, so here are few common things that in my opinion might help:
ABO universe has 6 genders: Alpha male, Alpha female Beta male, Beta female Omega male, Omega female All males can impregnate all females, except for Omega males who have 2 sets of sex organs and can get pregnant (any male can get them pregnant). In ABO Desire it is said that Betas are mostly infertile (this is not true for other fanfics). Social status is also involved as Alphas are like the ruling aristocracy, Omegas are fragile slaves. Think roughly Ancient Roman society where there were patricians (wealthy elite), plebeians (common citizens) and slaves. This series introduced so called ABO extended universe where they also have Enigmas (Huo Yong is one). They are always higher in hierarchy and power than Alphas, but can have different abilities depending on the author's wish. Normally they can either change their own gender depending on their partner, or change the gender of their partner. I suppose (I don't know, just my guess) that here is the latter - Hua Yong will bond with Sheng Shao You and change Sheng's Alpha male gender to Omega male to impregnate him. Anyone can have sex and/or marry anyone in this universe, but they can also form a bond. The bond is only possible one time between two people and this is forever for life. Normally this bond allows to physically feel their partner's emotions and physical state. Alphas go into rut and Omegas go into heat. This is pure animalistic behaviour when they feel the urge to have sex and procreate. When Alpha is bonded with Omega their rut/heat synchronize and happen simultaneously. In order to not go in rut/heat or fake their ABO gender, people can take what is called suppressants. It changes the smell of the person. In ABO universe gender is identified easily by sense of smell. Alphas also have a superpower to command respect and dominate or make someone yield just by their presence and willpower.
Feel free to ask me any other questions, I will answer to the extent of my knowledge.
guysss I know nothing about omegaverse except that there's male pregnancy involved.. could someone please explain…

That’s so funny, I also had to rewatch because they look a like and kept getting confused LOL Hua Yongs character…
Before a rewatch I thought that the guy in the white shirt on his knees in the beginning is Hua Young, only later to understand that they are so much alike because Hua Yong copied his style and manners! I am obsessed wit Hua Yong, this is Hannibal Lecter level of pretence to be an innocent lamb and I love how actor acts! It's brilliant.
Wooow, so first of all - I am very much not ABO lore fan, but of course I was excited to see how will it be made into the series. First Thai attempt in Pitbabe the series was a flop (I mean it's okay series, beautifully shut but they heavily butchered the ABO). So I had to rewatch first 20 -ish minutes twice to clear the confusion with 2 Mr Sheng's lol. Why did the series did us dirty with almost identical names of rivals is a mystery to me. And my second rewatch made me notice the same mole on the neck of mystery pool guy and Hua Yong, so now immediately I know what will happen. The plot is super predictable, but I am excited to see it unfold none the less - I screamed at Hua Yong's brilliance in playing Mr Sheng. Already he got him wrapped around his finger hahaha. I love me some morally gray characters!!! And of course the curse of the second couple - poor Gao Tu, already I am so interested to see how his love life will play out. Just can't wait for another week, this is too exciting!!!
can someone tell me what is going on please? Hua Hong is pretending to be an omega but is an Enigma? And an Enigma…
Nooo, you are wrong. So there are 2 Sheng's - Mr Shen the guy with cancer cure who hates Omegas for their smell, who teamed up with Hua Hong who pretends to be Omega, but really is Enigma and I suppose mystery head of X corporation, who wants to get to Mr Sheng, who loves whiney Omegas in distress which is exactly what Hua Hong acts as. So the main confusion is similar names of Mr Shen and Mr Sheng - why did screenwriters did us dirty? As you said, ABO is only 3 genders, Enigma is so called ABO extended universe. Sometimes there is also Sigma with or without Enigma. I don't know if they will have Sigmas here, probably not. Both Sigma and Enigma don't have standard roles in the lore and can be anything author wants. There are 3 main variables: Enigmas are just super powerful Alphas who can command Alphas what to do and yield; Enigmas can change their gender depending on who they are bonded with (become Alpha or Omega); change gender of Alpha to become Omega and get pregnant. Since they hinted mpreg, I suppose in this series it's the latter - Hua Hong will bond with Mr Sheng and make him a pregnant Omega.
There arent any explicit steamy scenes.... They are all just implied
Ooooh okay! Thank you! It makes sense yeah. Even in the series it feels like something is missing, because LWZ is always so caring and protective of Pei Su, but when he clearly feels unwell and faints, LWZ just looks at him without even asking if he was okay and goes on randomly exploring his basement. Honestly, I can't wait to read the novel, because translation is confusing and I am missing out on many details in investigation. Plus kissing is always a plus 😁
There arent any explicit steamy scenes.... They are all just implied
Yeah okay, but the implications that they get physical - where does it begin? Like when Pei Su moved to Lu Zhao after the accident or it happens before?
Omg what a wonderful series!!! I have butterflies in my stomach, why are people not talking more about this and why ratings are so low? It should be at least 9! (I rated 10).
No offence, but this is ridiculous series. I lasted 3 episodes solely on handsome male leads, but that's about it. It's really really bad. I am surprised at the ratings, can someone honestly explain this? ))
The strong beginning had so much potential to be a good drama, but no, they ended unrealistic lovey-dovey relationship of two 30+ year old perfectly beautiful billionaire virgins. Unnecessary repetitions, loopholes of time traveling rules when she couldn't say or write what will happen to the point time froze, and then suddenly she can easily write lottery winning numbers? Etc etc, I don't want to pinpoint faults, I am just sad that I feel like this is a wasted potential. I know life and current state of the world is as bad as ever and we all need happy endings and uncomplicated romantic stories, but this drama started strong and ended in boring meh. Really gorgeous actors, good idea, but missed opportunity on suspense and thriller elements which make it a good cinema. Emotional environment of the beginning doesn't deserve soap opera of last episodes. One of the things I want to pinpoint is gentle queerbaiting ongoing from the beginning with jealous diva Baek In Hyeok clearly having feelings for Seon Jae, his later romantic moment on the beach with Kim Tae Seong, and later drunk confession "I thought you had feelings for me" directed at Seon Jae. Would it kill you to let boys end up happily ever after or not add this at all? I say detective Tae Seong and idol In Hyeok would make a perfect match consoling each other - after loosing Son Jae and Sol respectively. I would very much prefer Tae Seong ending with Sol, because they are a better match, and Tae Seong ended up saving everyone, so he deserves the happy ending most of all, and not what he got served.
I understand that this drama must be really intended to process trauma of inevitable loss of your loved ones, but the logic of FL pissed me off. Of all her past lives she remembered a boy towards whom she had 100% maternal attitude, but upon finding him again she says date me/let's get married which kinda makes it super cringe. It is hinted he is reincarnated turtle and I do understand how you can humanise your pet, but as a personality... I really don't know. I don't do well with introverts who express zero interest in as much as a conversation with me, so why would I bother getting their attention? And most of all she only ever reached out to her "niece" from the past life to basically use her for money and better life and not her parents, children, past spouses, etc. She only cared for one child whom she decided to marry... What? That being said, this is not drama for me, I ended kinda hating so I dropped it. Sorry for the rant, I just feel that this story had so much potential which was flushed into standard dorama tropes of a woman trying to get rich chaebol snob who doesn't even like women. Meh.
