ABO Desire

feeling not yet end

shen & gao is not finished properly. just feeling missing of equal half of the series... some parts are missed like showing the watch, book, name the company x, gao father's activity , what happened in the hospita, reason for medicine preparation.....
I think lot of things are hanging without holding any... overall good to watch.. no doubt in that..

or the language issue give these wrong idea, that is the director cleared all the doubt which i mentioned earlier.

really the people who know the mother language of this series only will know after the director.

really worth to watch...

ABO Desire: Honestly a 100/10 BL

ABO Desire: The Series is honestly a 100/10 BL, no exaggeration. From the first episode itself, it pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The ABO concept is handled so well — not messy, not overdone — just perfectly woven into the story. Everything feels intense but classy at the same time.

Hua Yong is THE heart of the show. Calm, smart, layered, and so attractive without even trying. Every scene with him hits different. The chemistry is insane, but it’s not loud — it’s in the looks, the silence, the tension. Slow burn done absolutely right.

The story respects the audience, the characters, and the genre. No unnecessary drama, no cringe — just pure emotional depth and controlled desire. You finish the series and just sit there like… wow.

If you love mature BLs with brains, feelings, and unreal tension, Desire isn’t just good — it’s unforgettable. 100/10, no notes. 💯🔥

ABO Desire is an intriguing and emotional series that combines drama, romance, and tension in a unique world of dominance and submission. Each episode brings passion, mystery, and heartfelt moments that keep viewers engaged and craving for more. The storyline explores the complex relationships between its characters, as well as their struggles with identity, love, and acceptance.

One of the most captivating parts of the series, though often overlooked, is the subtle connection between Shen Wenlang and Gao Tu. Despite having only short scenes in each episode, their chemistry is undeniable. Every glance, gesture, and brief dialogue between them holds deep emotion and unspoken tension. Their dynamic feels natural yet powerful, leaving viewers wanting to know more about their story.

Shen Wenlang’s quiet strength and Gao Tu’s confident yet caring personality complement each other perfectly. Their interactions suggest a deeper bond waiting to be explored, one that could add even more depth to the series. Many fans, including myself, are hoping that if ABO Desire gets a Season 2, it will focus more on these two characters. Their potential storyline deserves the spotlight—it could reveal untold emotions, past struggles, and a love that blooms in the midst of chaos.

A second season centered on Shen Wenlang and Gao Tu would not only satisfy fans but also give the show a fresh direction. Their story has the power to move audiences and bring new life to the world of ABO Desire. With stronger focus and development, they could easily become one of the most memorable couples in the series.

too many expectations! disappointed

i was a bit sceptical at the start, the storyline felt unstable but thankfully it all came clear in episode 3. My fav couple is gao tu with shen, and although we didnt get as many scenes as id like, it was good. The music and acting were fine, sometimes a bit weird but nothing unwatchable. The last episode was disappointing- not only did the story for the main couple feel rushed, but the second couple was more of a "dont forget to add this here to get it over with". Didnt make much sense and if they had thought this over and gave us a clearer ending, it would have been 10/10.

Gao Tu and his little screentime

Showcasing the A-B-O Universe was a fresh concept for me. I find myself entertained and learn new things with this creative approach of pairing, or what is known as mating in their world. I love Gao Tu, and I am always looking forward to his story every single EPs. Even though there are EPs wherein he has minimal to no exposure, I hold to the drama solely because of him. Li Pei En is so handsome and the most charming actor from the cast. I was mesmerized by his beauty.

As someone who hardly kept his Beta-identity for all those years, simply because Shen Wen Lang hated Omega, it was a very fascinating dedication to stay by the side of his crush, even though he thought that it was one-sided. I am always thirsty between Gao Tu and Shen Wen Lang’s scenes, and the production never failed to disappoint me until the finale. That was the end? It was obviously rushed, without a proper conclusion, for my best boy, Gao Tu, and when Shen Wen Lang was finally able to hug him for the first time in eternity, with their child witnessing the dramatic reunion.

For the sake of Gao Tu and Shen Wen Lang, I stayed. Not gonna say anything with other characters as I just come to the point to not mind them at all. I wasn’t a fan of the main couple’s story; every person has their subjective reasoning and avoids pushing others to like something that they don’t like.

I was not too impressed with this series as a whole because my expectations were a lot more from it. Now let's get started with ep 16; The episode seemed rushed but also full of fillers at the same time? We never got to know what happened to Gao Tu and how he went through the pregnancy alone without an alpha.

Also how come did Shen Wenleng not suspect anything when Gao Tu's father brought up the abortion to him? I get that their relationship is built on misunderstandings but also how did even Gao Tu's father conclude that the child belongs to Shen Wenleng given that he's perceived as a character with negative IQ? I just find it unrealistic for him to be so distant and neglecting but to somehow figure out all of that based on the little vague info he had.

Now this is my personal opinion but I just couldn't bear the idea of an alpha bearing a child, especially when it comes to Sheng Shaoyou. Hua Yong looks like an actual Omega and I get that this is how he was acting at the beginning to manipulate Shaoyou but he still acted in a submissive way even after letting him know that he's an enigma, and honestly I just felt like his looks were way too delicate and soft for an enigma but that's just my view.

It feels kind of pointless mentioning this scene but it was really absurd I had to talk about it 😭 the scene where Shaoyou's half-brother (I forgot his name and low-key don't care about him) invites him and Hua Yong tags along, HOW COME NEITHER OF THEM SUSPECTED THAT HE'S ONTO SOMETHING? I get that Hua Yong was role-playing as an Omega to film the whole thing but he still drunk when that guy forced him to do so and got his glands severely injured it just feels stupid.

I just feel like the whole thing was underwhelming, I was also really excited about the series since it's the first ABO series that features bl so it felt disappointing to have all of these visuals and budget go to waste just because the script was way too mediocre. Also I need to mention that I didn't read the novel/manhua so I'm not sure if they changed many things in order to adapt it.

ABO Desire is charting new territory for BLs

ABO has been around for a long, long time. It is a category of fandom space I never dared to think we'd see a live version of. Pit Babe name dropped ABO but didn't really fulfill the elements of it and instead left a lot of people confused on if it was or wasn't ABO at all. And then the trailer for this series was released and it almost seemed too good to be true. A CBL about ABO? It had a lot of us holding our breaths because we all know how the CBL journey has been and well, it's never good to get TOO invested in anything that is dropping from that region.

But ABO Desire did the impossible and it did it in a way that was true to the ABO realm and didn't shy away from any of it's elements. This is an incredible first for any BL. I give so many props to NJ, the actors, and the production team for also standing behind this project so confidently and with so much heart.

The story is largely about Hua Yong and his obsession with Sheng Shao You and I honestly don't have a single complaint with this story line. I think Eliot and Qiu did an amazing job stepping into the skins of these characters and truly committing to bringing them to life. One of the things I loved the most was the way their power was their absolute duality. Hua pretending to be an Omega, but revealing he's Enigma. The way Shao You never lost the edge of his S Class Alpha, but how he glowed beautifully after being marked by Hua.

Truly the only real issue I had with this series is the second couple storyline which seemed to spin its wheels week after week and somehow never resolved itself in a satisfactory way by the finale. I feel like a true disservice has been done to the character Gao Tu, who was the bearer of so much pain that he was never able to actually vocalize. Peien is a masterclass in acting, because even though Gao Tu's lines throughout the series could fill a single sheet of paper, his expressive emoting filled the quiet spaces with so much heartache. It left us all rooting for all of that pain to be worth it in some sense, by Shen Wenlang apologizing, but in the end this was never realized.

In the same, Jiang Heng's acting was top class, but it's unfortunate that he was handed such a one dimensional character to portray. There was never character growth, it was just the same DENSE brain space for 16 episodes.

I think what truly needs to be acknowledged is that ABO Desire was never intended to be a perfect series and trust me, it wasn't perfect at all. But even though there were things that could've been better, things that we could've done without and things we could've done with more of -- ABO Desire still succeeded by being the first and the most iconic drop from China in a long time.

We can already see the way this has set the foundation for other BLs and I'm personally sat for any future projects that may drop in this lane. And while ABO Desire itself is done, I am also excited for this casts future projects, whether that's a new series or their Desire4 group. They're quite literally doing what no other could do from China and I'm so very invested in what the future holds for them.

TLDR:

Pros:
- Actually ABO - the first of its kind
- Great cast / great acting
- Amazing sets and clothing
- MPREG!!!!
- Enigma Hua Yong is everything

Cons:
- Story flow could've been better: felt like the tires were spinning in place at times
- 2nd couple didn't have a good enough resolve by the end - JUSTICE FOR GAO TU SPECIFICALLY
- While I know the time skip was necessary, I never really like them in any series and that feeling didn't change here
- I'm not sure if 16 eps was enough for this series, or if the writing / pacing of the story was just too slow.

Overall:
- I would watch it again and it's solid series for the first of its kind.

First omegaverse drama, yet boring plot. Justice for Gao Tu!

PROS: An actual omegaverse tv show, this is for the history books! Hilarious dialogue here and there, likeable characters, okay acting (can't blame them, the scenario isn't the best quality-wise). The second pairing of the show is much more interesting than the main one, and I only continued watching to see what would happen with them.

CONS: Boring scenario, to say the least. Hua Yong's enigma manipulations were intriguing to watch and I was very into Gao Tu's character (this man was suffering every single episode_ but, other than that, nothing really happens. The main couple is not that interesting, even though Sheng Shaoyou is very likeable as a person. Very obviously based on a fanfiction-like novel. Not enough attention to the second couple!

PLOT COMMENTARY: Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang were carrying this show on their limited screen time backs and yet they were not able to have a fulfilling ending or, at least, ONE proper conversation in the entire series.

An unfortunate let-down of a much-anticipated novelty

I have to start off by saying there's a lot of valid criticism for ABO in the first place. A lot of the time it seems like an attempt of straight women to eroticize the abuse by men against women by using feminine gay bottoms as a proxy to not feel personally victimized by it. That's always been off-putting to me because I will never understand why women, who are so often assaulted by men, would find the fantasy of it hot and want to be dominated by men without the ability to not consent as in the ABO universe.
Having said that, if you're going to do an interpretation of The most stereotyping genre of fiction then you have to do justice to its base archetypes. Call me a tradjoshi but I don't want to see the alpha and omega being of the same height and proportions, the sub-genders being reversible (since when was that ever an option in ABO) or the omega-looking and acting enigma turning into an alpha top. In that case what is even the point of even making up such normative sub-genders? So I suppose my main gripe with the show is the writing and the source material itself which defeated the whole premise of having these supposedly fixed sub-genders and their innate traits and came across as very unconvincing and all over the place.
I would have loved to have seen a powerful secretly independent dominant omega who has the alpha wrapped around his finger with his charms (and pheromones) alone rather than what we got: an all-powerful, borderline sociopathic, manipulative, r*pist 'enigma' turned alpha who was simultaneously too gentle, poised and feminine to take him seriously in that role, again considering the very distinct rules of the ABO verse.
The r*pe scene (or should I say scenes?)Is what killed any interest I had had for the show. Because there is a way to make dubious consent at least somewhat tolerable and sensual in ABO by making the alpha and omega so overcome by their hormones, pheromones and cycles that they mutually cannot resist each other. In this case though, particularly between the main couple the enigma just r*pes the alpha who is not in his right mind because of the heat the enigma artificially started in him, who thinks the enigma is a stranger and verbally says he does not want it. Amidst all the boring business jargon and pointless plotlines, this moment is when the show really took a dive for the worst. The enigma's acting as a top wasn't believable either and the alpha looked visibly uncomfortable with being the bottom till the end so their whole dynamic was just stilted and weird.
Li Pei (aka Gao Tu) was the only good actor in this show but to be honest I didn't find the chemistry between Gao Tu and the alpha good enough or their story compelling enough to want to see a continuation of it. Not a fan of the bigot and his victim becoming lovers trope either. Overall such a let-down of a show which seemed quite promising. Still, I have to commend the showrunners for getting this made at all despite CCP’s hideous homophobic censorship and will be looking for better gay media from China in the future. Would love to see proper gl as well.

Shen Wenlang hurt my brain

Okay so this show actually exceeded my expectations. but my expectations were also below ground so do what you will with that information. Hua Yong as a character was so interesting because he was sooooo manipulative and it was SO overlooked. I will never forget that scene where he went away for his rut and came back crying to SSY about being "used." LIKE WTF. I feel like half of his lies were just unnecessary. He didn't need to pretend that he was s.a at all. With that being said, as a couple they worked I guess. Clearly SSY did not want to be saved, he was smiling all the time even after finding out the truth. I was so surprised because this man did not seem mad at the pregnancy at all. He just kinda took it like a champ. Clearly, that's his man and he's gonna stand beside him.

I don't deny that we had some cute and funny moments with the couple, but i can't ignore how deceptive Hua Yong was. I think that's the point though. That side of him is what makes the show more "interesting." His obsession is funny and concerning. Also, his protectiveness over SSY was very fun to watch at times.

Now, Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang.....
For the sake of time I'm going to keep this short (but trust I have a LOT to say). By the end of the show, I was not rooting for them. Tbh I stopped rooting for them a long time ago. SWL has so many issues, I cannot understand what Gao Tu sees in him. He is so disrespectful, clearly never thinks before talking (or just thinks in general), and is just not worth the pining. Like why would you want your man to be SWL out of all the fish in the sea. SWL's sole purpose in life must be to the say the most outrageous things to Gao Tu at all times. He is strapped with insults.

Even though I hate the idea of him being a love interest, I love him as a character. He was lowkey the comedic relief during the show. I loved his moments with HY. Their friendships is the cutest thing. They love hate each other. Just like I love hate SWL.

Finally, GT. Please invest in some therapy. I was sitting watching the show thinking GT and SWL need to be single. Like they both have so much to work on. And maybe. JUST MAYBE. after some intense therapy sessions they can consider a relationship. Gao Tu seriously deserved better, but he also just need to stand up for himself. Like I was gripping my laptop yelling "stand up" during that conversation with SWL and his dad.

Anywho, I think it was worth checking out at least once. I was hesitant to watch an omegaverse bl (like who's idea was it to bring this to the big screens) but I liked it more than I thought. Even though the show wasn't the most amazing thing I've seen, it had its good parts.

My obsession and love for Hua Yong?❤️

I cannot believe I almost missed this masterpiece 🤌😭
Honestly, when I first heard they've shown male pregnancy, I was almost set that I'm gonna drop this and will not watch it. Then people told me “Not to miss this masterpiece" and I'm very glad I listened to them. I mean I rated it 10/10, I can't even remember when was the last time I rated a series 10/10.

Okay, here it is, it's going to be long so take your time reading it.

I myself am not very familiar with the ABO concept so 1st and 2nd episodes were the learning phase for me. From 3rd episode, I started catching up and I got HOOKED🤌❤️

At first during the 3rd and 4th episode, I was kinda mad at Hua Yong for being so manipulative honestly (later when I saw the whole thing I kinda understood why he did what he did)

Honestly, episode 5 left me speechless and I had so many questions at that moment and this episode was when I finally "accepted” Hua Yong is a maniac 🫣 I mean to change expression as quickly as he did when that detective entered the room was insane🤌
And the way he was acting like HE was abused by "Alphas” was actually pretty crazy.

By episode 6th, I was kinda done with how naive Hua Yong would behave in front of Sheng Shao You. Like he's so pitiful and innocent (with the devil inside). But that honestly was pretty annoying but I moved past it, again, as I realised why he did what he did.

Now, let's take a moment and talk about episode 9 for a moment. I seriously don't know what to say but at the same time I have a lot to say. Firstly, I did not expect their first time to be like this (I know it's something out of the box but I honestly didn't), secondly, bro wtf? Like I understand it was your rut and you didn't have control over it but to freaking leave the next day and to tell him this via A LETTER??? Bro are you crazy?
The way Mr. Sheng cried for him, it just broke my heart into a million pieces 💔
I mean I understand you wanted him to develop that dependency on you and for that to happen, you had to be away from him for a while, but Hua Yong could at least have chosen a better time for that. I think Mr. Sheng needed him the most at the point, I mean that proud S-class Alpha was just r**ed, doesn't matter if that was you or not, you could have at least been there for him.

But by episode 11th, I finally realised whatever Hua Yong did was for the best (for himself). I mean he has been following him for 15 years so it's very obvious that he knows he'll not accept an Alpha nor will he accept an illegitimate child. Honestly I don't know why but I expected Mr. Sheng would accept Hua Yong that very same day, maybe in a couple of minutes or so.
Although he didn't accept him so easily, it was very clear that Hua Yong was successful in making it almost impossible for Mr. Sheng to live without Hua Yong. So I think it's safe to say that Hua Yong knew what he was doing and he did his part very well.

In episode 14th, when Hua Yong threatens the doc saying, “you're telling my Alpha to sleep with other Omegas?” I believe this line was the final breakthrough for me to fall madly in love with Hua Yong🤌😭❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why but the way he said it was just🤌🤤
After this my obsession and love for Hua Yong just kept growing and growing 🫶❤️

I was kinda disappointed with the ending because it was too rushed, I expected it to have a proper ending. But ehh at least they gave an amazing show and Hua Yong, so I won't complain much😂❤️

This absolutely is a must watch and if like me, you're also concerned about the male pregnancy thing, then I'll tell you what someone in the comments told me, the male pregnancy thing has not been shown a lot, it's just in the last 1 or 2 episodes and that too, not in the appearance but they're just talking about it and no it's not really weird. Rest assured, it's definitely, DEFINITELY, a must watch drama🤌❤️❤️❤️
