good start for omegaverse shows
being the first Real omegaverse show, desire is both very fun and a good entrance into the trope. (well, ignoring the enigma part lol since that's not very common - but it's done well here!) I don't know that I loved all of the world building, but on the whole, it was very interesting and I could push past any weird things (like, we find out in ep 1 that all people with AB blood died?? ... okay...). there were cringe moments here and there as all shows have but it really wasn't that bad
something to know going in is that this show is very much centered on the first couple, sheng shaoyou and hua yong. if you don't like them, it's going to drag a lot, because the second couple do not get a lot of screen time. I definitely was more interested in the second couple (shen wenlang and gao tu), and was disappointed in how little we got to see of them. for reference, one episode only gave them about 3-5 minutes of screen time. so, manage your expectations there. and before anyone comes at me, I did like ssy and hy - I think they were 100% better acted than the second couple, and they had a lot of interesting tropes. I preferred swl and gt but either way, this is a show I would recommend BL fans watch!
on a final note, justice for gao lele!!
