Love Won, but Not the Way I Hoped
Just finished ABO Desire and honestly… mixed feelings 😭The first couple (Hua Yong × Sheng Shao you) got their happy ending, and I’m satisfied with that. it was sweet and wrapped up nicely.
But the second couple (Shen Wenlang × Gaotu)… sigh 😩 I really wished the director gave them more. They technically did get a happy ending, but it didn’t feel satisfying enough. They followed the novel too closely, I hoped they’d change it up a bit and give Wenlang and Gotau more happy moments together.
Also, they barely got any screen time 😭 like hello?? they were my fave couple more than the main one! The ending felt kinda rushed too. After three years of separation, they just met, hugged, and boom - open ending. I was expecting at least one kiss 🥹 but fine, at least we got that hug.
Overall, it’s a good drama but the pacing near the end felt rushed. Still hoping we get more stories like this soon 🩶

Ballboy Tactics: For Those Who Love Quiet Love
I really enjoyed Ballboy Tactics. It’s not a high-drama series, but that’s exactly what made it special for me. The story is calm and slow, like real life, and the emotions felt genuine.The actors did a great job showing feelings through small gestures and eye contact, without overacting. It felt natural like two university boys figuring out their emotions quietly.
The cinematography was also really pretty and artistic, with soft lighting and peaceful vibes. If you like soft BLs with realistic settings and slow burn romance, this one is worth watching.
