ABO Desire

ABO Desire is like an elegant guilty pleasure. The story is unique yet addictive-Omegaverse, MPREG, and corporate drama rolled into one. The chemistry is strong, the characters are mysterious yet deeply emotional. The visuals are beautiful, full of sharp gazes and a chilling atmosphere. The most important thing is that the actors' acting is appropriate and not awkward, especially the chemistry between the players, so it's comfortable to watch.

My first BL manhwa was an omegaverse, so when I heard about this series, I didn't hesitate to start watching it right away. I'm not used to watching BL bcz I'm picky (the only one I've watched before is The Untamed), so this series is my second. I saw some people say it's cringe because of the omegaverse concepts like heats and pheromones, but honestly, that's missing the bigger picture. For long-time BL readers, especially those into omegaverse, this series is a DREAM COME TRUE-it's the first time we're seeing these stories, which were once only in novels or comics, come to life in live-action. I love everything about it!

To enjoy it you have to have a super broad mind and willingness to accept new ideas. As someone who has never read or watched any omegaverse content before, it truly is a refreshing experience to watch. A complex yet enjoyable concept. As I did not have prior knowledge about the omegaverse, I struggled a bit to understand what was going on, but as I rewatched it and read the novel, I instantly got hooked.

The locations, the sets, the costumes, the visuals - everything is over the quality. So it is such an eye-feast to watch it on the screen.

The actor who played Hua Yong is super talented. He played this cunning character so well that he certainly will be remembered for a long time.

I felt Shen Wenlang's actor could do a better job. While his expressions, body languages in terms of portraying easily annoyed, foul mouthed yet a softie on the inside - are on point. His line deliveries, however, were most of the time robotic. Perhaps it is because he was trying to tone down the intensity of the badness of the character. Since it is an ongoing drama, he still has time to prove himself.

I will give this drama a 10 for the effort and the boldness of bringing life into the story. Since the story revolves around a fictional gender system, it is bound to become controversial, face criticisms and have less viewership. Despite all this, the creators sure have poured all their passion into making the project come true.

Once you learned about the Omegaverse world, especially if you like reading fan fiction or fiction set in that world, you can never go back. When I learned about this drama, I was so excited that I really hoped that the storyline of the drama and novel would not be boring or cliche. But after seeing the first 5 episodes, I was so hooked that I read the novel of it called "Desire" and got obsessed with how the story would unfold in the next few episodes. I am so thankful that they made this drama and shared it with us.

Congrats to the actors who made this drama alive, and may the best wishes come true for them. Congrats, ABO Desire!

As someone who didn't even know what ABO dynamics even were till recently (it's been a wild ride) I actually really like this show. The characters are so unique and flawed and the world building is really detailed. I don't know if I'm ready for the Mpreg stuff yet but regardless of that I think the show and its amazing cast and crew are brilliant taking a leap and pioneering this stuff - especially in the light of censorship. Keep these actors safe at all costs!!!
