Thank you for your service Gao Tu, but you only was not enough.

When I watched the trailer of this, I was really hyped, really excited...how silly I was.
I only started watching when they aired 15 episodes, so I was seeing the commotion around this, and made me think that I was missing so much, since I was not watching weekly. When I started watching, I wondered if I was seeing the same thing as everyone else, because it wasn't at all what I expected. I expected something good and found an empty story, with characters you hardly bond with because of their bad personalities. Hua Yong tried to be a manipulator with motives and people would like, but it didn't come off that way, just another boring character like any other. The main couple was boring and didn't entertain me at all. It made me super irritated to watch, it made me sleepy. The secondary couple was one of the things that made me want to keep going. Gao Tu carried the entire drama on his shoulders. He was the most interesting character in the plot, thus making Wen Lang interesting too. Their ending was so bad, vague, a waste of potential. I thought they would focus more in the pregnancy since this is point the audience were expecting, bust it was so fast that if you blinked you would miss, they couldn't close well the main couple, I was dreaming when I thought they could for the side. This drama was just a waste of people's time. I tried to like it, but it was very difficult. People asking for a second season, I dont think another season would fix, how boring this was.

A beautiful tale of a devil's love for a mortal girl...

A beautiful tale of a devil's love for a mortal girl, based on Chinese mythology about celestials and reincarnation. It's a captivating blend of numerous obstacles, even tragic ones, with pure, selfless, and vibrant relationships. The dragon accompanies his beloved throughout her reincarnations, both visibly and invisibly, forced to watch her embraced by other men, yet willing to do anything for her sake. The drama features two love stories—one primary and one secondary—and two main male characters: the thousand-year-old devil and the celestials. Both must maintain an impartial and cool demeanor, and under these circumstances, the acting is ample. Every emotion is visible in their eyes. The casting is exquisitely aesthetic. Dylan as Long Yan is insanely handsome and ethereal in every role, and there are many in the drama. The head of the Lofeng Palace is a complex character, perceived in two ways, but the actor's performance was ample for a supporting character. The female characters are bright, lively, and sensitive, and the actresses excelled.  The visuals of the locations are stunning, the views are breathtaking. The costumes are a separate art form, with multi-layered hanfu and stunning decorations. The music is beautiful and perfectly suits the narrative. The drama is a visual delight for romantics. Delightful, elegant, and seamless.

B oldly D iving into S omething M emorable

Please bear with me. There are exciting aspects to Hua Yong and Mr Sheng´s story that extend beyond X. However, I am not that convinced by the series overall, despite agreeing that it´s impressive that they actually opened a wild door like this in 2025. I think it´s understandable why this series is hyped so much: It´s bold, it´s fresh -- It´s a lot of things that lovely viewers out there have yearned for. I mean, Omegaverse live action? In my younger years, I would not have thought this could ever be filmed. Yet here we are. What a journey ....

So what bothered me?
Where should I start? There are too many confusing, unspoken facts, almost as if some parts were purposely left unfinished. Completely leaving aside how toxic the whole omegaversa is in general ...... Additionally, I think the way they handled the music scores was sort of boring and predictable. Very repetitive. Besides Huang Xing´s (Hua Yong) performance for most parts, the acting was not convincing to me, even a bit frustrating at times. I admit there are some actors new to the industry, and everyone should have the chance to cultivate their skills -- and yet, I have to consider this when reviewing. Overall, the editing and acting were a bit too messy and anticlimactic.

Nonetheless, I was intrigued by the non-conventional take and idea of the story and what they did with it as the first "players in this genre" (Even though there were more coherent elements they could´ve added, especially to the plot of the side couple). I´m hoping to see similarly bold concepts and scripts like ABO Desire in the future.

So Min and Woo Shik’s chemistry = a true com-rom dream

This is the true com-rom I’ve been looking for for so long. I absolutely love So Min’s acting , the way she moves so naturally from sadness to comedy is just incredible. Her expressions feel so real, you can feel every emotion through her eyes. The interaction between her and Woo Shik is so natural and fresh, their chemistry makes every scene shine.
And that drunk scene — I’ve watched it more than fifty times and I still laugh every single time! So Min as Yoo Mary completely stole my heart. I can’t wait for the next episode, especially to see how they live together as a fake couple.
The OST fits perfectly, and the color palette of the drama is so soft and beautiful — it makes everything feel warm and romantic. This drama is pure comfort, full of laughter, heart, and sincerity. I’m totally in love.

Struggled at the end!

I absolutely loved the initial romance arc, the slacker and grumpy demon dynamic was so fun to watch!

I dropped it for a while and came back to it and still struggled a bit by the end. The miscommunications stated to really annoy me, or at least both not telling the other their plans to sacrifice themselves again and again!

I really wanted them to have more time together, there was just never no drama happening, I felt bad for them because every time things improved, it got completely wrecked again. I get that the emphasis is on how their love transcends time and they find each other in any life, but I guess I wanted to see more of them happy. it was very stop start, one forgets the other, then the other forgets them, I just couldn’t take the emotional turmoil anymore!

I loved the casting, sound track and acting though and enjoyed it a lot, I just needed them to stop having such a bad time!

Good for the first omegaverse

What first thing that come on your mind when you hear omegaverse? For me personally I would think of an omega itself, but this show didn't give the omega enough screentime and backstory.

This story mainly focused on enigma-alpha relationship which is hua yong and sheng shaouyu and not the alpha-omega couple, so if you want to watch this show just because you want to see alpha-omega couple I suggest you not to watch it.

I really understand that the main cp was huasheng not langtu, but I was hoping that maybe they will give them a fair screentime since it's omegaverse and isn't it supposed to show more of omega story? But well, I was hoping too much.

Actually the main story was good enough, I like their development of relationship and how hua yong and sheng shaoyou being the happy family at the end, but on the other hand I really disappointed about the story of alpha-omega cp which is shen wenlang and gao tu, cause we didn't get a proper scene of them being together like gao tu always suffering and shen wenlaang always being the dumb man he is.

This show has so much potential, but the production team didn't take it fully.

Enigma/Alpha forever ♥

🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹

Ok, we all know this drama is not objectively a 10 but, to put it simply, i don't care. I enjoy it immensely. This drama brought me back to when i started being a fangirl of supernatural and followed the actors and started reading fanfic. This drama is that fanfic i never expected to ever see as a live action and here we are now.

Omegaverse is not for everyone. I love it and the lore here about it was completely on point: A virus ended the world as we know it and the population got divided on Alpha/Beta/Omega to the appereance, years later, of the superior Enigma. ABO dynamics on Desire are not an afterthought but the main plot.

We follow Enigma Hua Yong on his quest to get the love of his life, S class Alpha Sheng Shaoyou. Simple right? Not really. Sheng just like delicate, submissive Omegas and Hua Yong is really not that (But he will be if he have to for his Alpha lol).

Hua Yong, as a character, is absolutely perfect. A black flag from the begining to the end, his antics are between hilarious and crazy. I don't think we will get such a dark ML ever again, specially not from China. Besides his obssesion with Sheng, i really love his relationship with Wenlang. Frenemies forever this two.

All my praise to Huang Xing who bringed Hua Yong to life flawlessly. I think he is a fantastic actor and i really hope i will be able to keep seeing him ♥

Sheng Shaoyu, the proud Alpha that end up in love with the one he didn't expected, was a great character too. You could see his progression, his pain as being deceived, his anger, his love. The last scenes with Peanut were very cute (Specially since the kid hates Hua Yong, which i found hilarious lol). At first Qiu Dingjie acting was so -so for me but he got better and better with every episode.

The second couple....i'm sad about it and i think this is one of the cons of the drama, i wanted so much more from them. We barely get any of their story and the last episode didn't make them any justice. Still, Wenlang will always be our special dumb Alpha and Gao Tu will be our first live action Omega ♥♥♥.

I love everything we got related to ABO: Rut and heats, mate syndrome, pheromones (I love the idea that we could see it around them in different colors, nice touch). And of course, Mpreg. Damn, we got live action mpreg from China, i just can't ask for a lot more 😂😂😂.

Yes, there is bad things: the editing was awful at some points, specially the last episode seems rushed. Cringe bar was a big no and that narrator in the emotional moments was unnecesary too. But i'm reading the novel now and the drama is adapted pretty accurate so i really can't complain too much.

I also got one of my favorites couples with Hua Yong/Sheng Shaoyou. Their chemistry is what made the drama so good for me, chemistry that translate on the actors, Huang Xing and Qiu Dingjie. It is a pleasure to get to meet them thanks to this drama.

The simple fact that this drama exists and was aired without too much problem is a miracle on itself so i feel compelled to thank everyone that worked here but specially our Desire4, Huang Xing, Qiu Dingjie, Jiang Heng and Li Pei en. They're the face of this drama and i can't really thank them enough from bringing it to life.

Would i recommend it? Yes, of course. Perfect couple is perfect and perfect ML too ♥♥♥♥♥

Just finished watching the series, and I can’t help but feel a little lost now that it’s over. There’s always a sense of emptiness when a truly well-crafted show comes to an end. The storytelling, cinematography, and acting were all outstanding. I particularly wish Gao Tu and Shen Wen Lang had been given more screen time — their dynamic was so compelling. Hoping the creators might surprise us with a special episode or even a second season. 🌟
