Why they wasted a perfectly beautiful BL with such an ending? I am wondering what the Director and screenwriters were thinking?
In addition of wasting our time with this bullshit meteorite thing they wasted the last minutes that should have it dedicated to the recovery of Zhan Wang and the characters story post operation. I hope they plan to give us a special episode, it was 8.5/10 for me but now because of this ending it's a 8/10.
Gosh, Xiao Fan is such a pushover! I don't like damsel in distress either in straight Drama or in BL. Though you can say he had similar background than Xu Yuan from Lost to You and Chae Ha from The Prosecutor's Proposal but in contrary of Xiao Fan, those two stand up in way you're not embarrassed for them.
I hope the rest of episodes will be good and we will see some changes on his personality, for now because of him I can't fully appreciate this BL. It's really strange when A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream's trailer dropped I didn't like the trailer but now it's one of my favorite airing BL and on the contrary I liked Bittersweet Love's trailer but now that I watched the first 3 episodes it's my least favorite C-BL airing right now.
Our baby Lee Chae Ha has endured so much, I cried so much during episode 3 that my eyes turned completely red. Episode 4 saved me a little from my sadness.
Seriously, this K-BL is so good, the story is great, the chemistry between the two leads is excellent, and the fact that it's a thriller is absolutely perfect.
end of ep 4 is Ranchy TMI that spoiled a good drama but porn is a part of BL, seems like - how do they get away…
Why are you in every BL pages if you don't like BL and you think that BL is porn? I seriously don't understand some people. This K-BL is for a public of 18+ meaning you'll find nudity, gore things like murders, blood etc... BL directors are bold, so who's stopping straight K-Drama directors from making dramas like that? Nobody!
Go watch your straight K-Dramas, BL is clearly not your thing, you keep trolling every BL pages with your nonsense arguments and comparison between straight Drama and BL. Why are you watching something you hate?
Wow so so good. I was looking for this kind of BL for Korea and now they are starting to giving us stories like "The Lie We Lived In" and of course this one.
I was just hoping the episodes will be longer like a 40 minutes but I can survive on those 20 minutes episodes they are giving us. Korea is definitely starting and I hope they'll not stop giving us Thriller BL, if they do BL production like they do their mainstream shows I think every BL fans will not survive.
They were already a young married couple in episode 2, very surprising to fall to someone so quickly, but the eyes of Xu Chang Yang don't lie and he was doing anything for his man Qing Lang. I have watched the first 4 episodes, I have to admit the trailer didn't sell me but after watching the first 4 episodes that I found very beautifully made I am sold for the rest.
The only thing I am disappointed is that they give us 4 episodes in one week and after will just give us one episode by week which is just not ok but I guess we will survive because there are so many BL I need to catch up.
I just want them to focus more on the main couple, I never get bored with them, now that the second couple got their happy ending I hope the rest of the episodes will focus on the main couple, I think that Zhan Wang and Xu Yuan are such an adorable couple.
Why Vampires are not vampiring in Asian TV series? The few I have watched from Thailand and Korea are really not good, is it a cultural thing? Yet the Vampire BL manhwa are so good, this is needs to be studied.
I really wanted to like this drama, mostly because it’s from the same director as one of my absolute favorite K-BL series, Love for Love’s Sake. But alas, it was so disappointing. I still can’t believe it’s the same director who made LFLS.
The screenwriter(s) did a terrible job. Three countries (Korea, Thailand, and China) were involved, and the result was still terrible. The storytelling was really bad. Honestly, WeTV should have just given the production to a Korean team instead of a Thai team. I really wonder what they were thinking.
I hope WeTV reads the comments and improves in the future. For their first original K-BL, they did a really poor job. It was so boring that I almost gave up and just wanted to rewatch Love for Love’s Sake again and again.
What a messy story. I’m honestly glad I didn’t watch this while it was airing. We have:
1. A desperate, hopeless romantic who is also a complete idiot: Fou4Mod 2. A straight-up asshole: Chian 3. A genius, caring, and sincere friend: Baabin (the only character I truly liked in the entire series) 4. An egocentric narcissist: Bua
I watched this mainly because of Director Boss Kuno, since I Told Sunset About You is one of my favorite shows. But I guess I’m just too old for this kind of story. Even though I usually enjoy coming-of-age narratives, this one was more frustrating than moving.
That said, the direction is spectacular. Boss Kuno did an excellent job visually and technically. In my opinion, this show does not need a season 2. It should end exactly where it is.
I’d really like to see Boss Kuno direct a more mature BL series next, something focused on working adults. Fou4Mod’s character reminded me a lot of Teh (Billkin) in ITSAY, so I guess he has a thing for portraying this type of painfully pathetic character.
I’d give Gelboys an 8.5/10, mostly because of the cinematography.
I thought this drama would be a strong anti-hero story, similar to Vigilante, but unfortunately it turned into a disappointing hero-type show. The MC refuses to kill despite everything terrible that happens to him. The series had a very good start, but from episode 7, it completely lost its momentum. I honestly don’t know why K-drama writers tend to get lazy halfway through writing a show.
It’s been a long time since I watched a truly good K-drama. I can’t even remember what really impacted me in 2025 after Weak Hero Season 2, and even that wasn’t as powerful as Season 1. I decided to give this one a try in 2026, and while it wasn’t terrible, it also wasn’t great. The MC Park Tae Jung was charismatic, and the villain, An Yo Han, well, he was really cute, I liked him.
I’d give The Manipulated an 8/10. It could have been higher, but the second half really brought it down.
Has there ever been a CP that swapped Top/Bottom from one show to the next? I’ve never seen it done. I think…
That’s an interesting question, but why do people want them to switch so much?
Younger tops are actually very rare in BL, and honestly, I don’t want people to take that away from us. I even saw some people refusing to watch ABO Desire just because Kipuka wasn’t the top, and saying Eliot is “too feminine and fragile” to be one which is such a weird and outdated take.
For their future projects, I personally don’t want them to switch. I really like the younger top / older bottom dynamic, and they fit it perfectly.
Couldn't read it without imagining them as huanxing and qiu playing the roles 😭😭
I was doing the same, totally imagining XingQiu as HuaSheng while reading it! And people were saying Eliot was wearing a cardigan during his livestream, just like Hua Yong in the extra chapter, even the candles were the same! NJ really knows how to keep us delulu about XingQiu. I miss them so much.
Guys, NJ just posted an extra chapter of the novel, and someone translated it on X, it’s really funny! People were right about Peanut and Lele, and I feel like Lele being an Omega is Shen Wenlang and Gao Tu’s karma or maybe their second chance to love their child regardless of gender. You can find the translation on X: https://x.com/orange_fair/status/1986097791727460399
Here’s a preview: Little Peanut was accustomed to his fathers' affection. "The bedroom is on your left. Do you need me to help open the door?" He turned a page, read a few lines, thought for a moment, and added, "I still want a little sister. Preferably an Alpha. Besides Lele, I don't want to have to coax a second Omega."
"You guys haven't even presented yet, how do you know Lele is an Omega? Also, please give up on unnecessary fantasies," Hua Yong found a moment in his busyness to pour cold water on the idea. "You won't have a little sister. My Alpha won't give you a little sister. If you want one, you and Shen Lele can have one yourselves in the future."
Now that things have calmed down a little in the comment section after the ABO Desire finale, I finally feel like I can share my thoughts, it was really chaotic before. I’m quite sad that the rating has gone down. I gave it a 9.5/10, not a full mark because of some editing issues. I also gave Revenged Love the same score; I really liked both, but ABO Desire was different. I was truly obsessed with this show, I kept counting the days until Wednesday and Saturday would come.
Some small shows just have that special something that completely captures you. I remember being the same way with Love, Victor, I Told Sunset About You, Semantic Error, Young Royals, Love for Love’s Sake and Weak Hero Class 1.
Now that it’s over, I don’t feel the same excitement for the other shows I’m currently watching (except Gen V Season 2, which also ends Wednesday). I’m also watching Khemjira, and even though I love horror, it’s one of my favorite genres it just doesn’t feel the same.
I really love XingQiu, and I think they did such an amazing job portraying Hua Yong and Sheng Shao You. I truly hope they’ll star in another drama together someday. If not, I’m sending them all my love and support for their next projects.
I had never even used X before ABO Desire 😅 but now I find myself checking XingQiu updates every single day. God, please help me with this obsession 🙏.
Honestly, I’m really sad this beautiful series is coming to an end 💔. Seeing all of you keep this page alive with your comments and love for the drama makes me happy every day, even if I don’t comment often. Thank you for keeping the spirit alive ❤️
