ABO Desire

THE CHEMISTRY THE VISUAL

if you're a sucker for Enigma x alpha / alpha x alpha like me, you'll love this hahaha. Also, Hua Yong give me back my tears ☺️🩴 every Shenanigans he pulls 🤣 .
The actor who plays the character of Sheng Shouyou is so good, he brings this character to life that you actually forget that Sheng Shouyou is a red flag.

The CHEMISTRY, the VISUAL 🤌🤌

A Hypnotic Subversion of State-Enforced Conformity

ABO Desire is a fascinating, bizarre, and ultimately hypnotic mystery-horror-stalker mashup. While it utilizes the "Omegaverse" (Alpha/Beta/Omega) framework, it serves as a scathing satire of elite obsession, labor exploitation, and the rigid social engineering associated with contemporary Chinese power structures.

The series is anchored by an outstanding, intense performance by Huang Xing. He is a master of microexpressions, allowing a myriad of thoughts and feelings to flicker across his face to communicate volumes without a word. His hypnotic presence makes the "Enigma" reveal feel like a profound philosophical shift rather than a mere plot twist.

His Enigma represents a radical "Third Way" outside the traditional Alpha/Omega binary. By portraying the Enigma as someone who holds the most power yet has zero interest in titles or status, the show mocks the elite’s social obsession with rank. It suggests that true agency is only possible by subverting the patriarchal, hypermasculine power dynamics promoted by both the genre and contemporary Chinese state-aligned “gender policies.”

A particularly poignant metaphor exists in the secondary romance. The lower-rank character’s desperate attempts to "pass" as a higher rank serve as a universal reference for marginalized people—whether they are LGBTQ+ individuals in repressive societies or people of color in racist systems. It highlights the psychological and physical toll of a system that demands conformity for social survival.

This struggle is literalized through the brief, yet telling, inclusion of "ABO toilets." For an American viewer, they are a surreal and disturbing reminder of our own country’s current obsession with public restrooms. The policing of these spaces in the show mirrors the real-world attacks on transgender citizens, who, like the characters in the series, embody a direct threat to and an undermining of traditional hegemonic masculinity.

Written and directed by a female-led team, the series acts as a visceral condemnation of labor exploitation and the rigid social engineering that defines the fragility of "Alpha" status. The "domestic stability" found at the end is only achieved by completely dismantling traditional power dynamics. The two dominant male characters are forced to "grow up" and broaden their acceptance of others, proving that true dominance comes from intelligence and strategy, not CCP-mandated artificial masculinity.

ABO Desire is far from perfect—it is dense, messy, and requires a rewatch to truly grasp—but it is brave and essential. It proves that even a "fantasy" genre can be used as a razor-sharp tool to attack the foundations of patriarchy and social hierarchy.

ABO DESIRE THE SERIES (how long I spent to watch it; Oct 16- Oct 24)

This is the only other bl I watched after watching RL and the only A.B.O based megaverse (omegaverse) that I have ever watched too. After scrolling on ytshorts, I found out that many other bl fans have been suggesting this drama along with some other chinese dramas so I decided to have a look at this. When I first stumbled upon this, I had no idea of the A.B.O system, I only knew that Alphas were on top, Betas were in the middle and Omegas were on the bottom, more like an alphabet based idea. I watched the first 20minutes of the first episode and I got bored. It took many replays on the first episode to get me to understand the whole idea and context of the drama. I barely got any names in episode 1 and learnt everyone's names in episode 2 and 3. At the start, I lowkey didn't know why Gao Tu had some screen time in episode 1 because I thought he was just another side character like Secretary Chang but I soon realised...BRO WAS PART OF THE FRICKING SIDE COUPLE. It also took me a while to realise that he was just an Omega pretending to be a Beta with asthma, even though that was mentioned in the flashback scene in ep 1. yep...im a bit slow. After knowing everything I needed to know, including the fact that Hua Yong, the Omega looking guy, was indeed an Enigma and indeed a top. HOW COULD BRO BE A TOP? HE LITERALLY LOOKS LESS TOP THAN SHENG SHAO YOU. And in my opinion Sheng Shao You is like really cute, in a bottom kind of way. Ngl I kinda felt bad our baby mama SSY because Hua Yong being an Enigma literally made him so possessive and toxic. The way his face gets twisted with jealousy as soon as he whiffed the smell of another Omega on his Alpha's skin. When Shao You cried in episode 9 I literally felt my heart break. If only he knew what kind of thing Hua Yong does behind his back as the CEO of X Holdings. He way his voice changed when he was talking to his employees like Secretary Chang and Shen Wenlang which was more firm and Enigma like and when he talks to Shao You he gives an Omega sounding 'Sheng Xiansheng'. bro. I have never even heard you call your alpha his name. 什么盛先生你他妈头! Honestly in Hua Yong's defense though, I can tell he really cares about Shao You. The fact that he is managing an entire company that has best drug for pheremones and cooking for your alpha and keeping yourself hidden as an innocent Omega in your life. Damn, Hua Yong 哥哥 that is lowkey impressive. And y'all can we talk abt Episode 9... Like what happened?!!! Ok, its basically a scene with a banquet that Hua Yong organised and then he somehow doesn't show up cause he's unexpectedly in rut? And then Gao Tu is in heat? Shao You overhears a convo from bystanders about an "omega" in heat, follows the bystanders' commands, leading him to the A.B.O restroom, then gets yanked by the collar into the room and Hua Yong goes all top mode and enigma mode. DAMN BRO U PLANNED ALL OF THIS. And I literally don't understand because Shao You didn't recognise him? I'm so confused. Shao You 先生, he's like your hubby, or soon to be anyway. And is this how Hua Yong got Shao You pregnant? IDK I have to know when I watch the other episodes, I am currently like shocked after watching that masterpiece. Best episode by far. Ok I lied, my favourite so far is 12 or 13. Like I understand that the main couple moves faster than the side couple but bro. Like Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang don't even have any sexual relationship except for that one night in X Hotel where Gao Tu was in heat and Wenlang was in like rut or something idk, im a bit slow, and somehow Gao Tu got pregnant. Congrats btw, but literally when will Wenlang know? I am about to watch ep 14, so I think that Wenlang's going to know in this episode and something spicy will happen. IDK just a prediction. NVM nothing spicy..just that Sheng Shaoqing got what he fucking deserved. Bro spends all of his brothers money on gambling, takes advantage of his kindness, and has the fucking audacity to invite him to a dinner, with a knife and put his hands on his "Omega". It's literally ironic bc SSY is like:"Hua Yong, I will protect you from everyone" and Hua Yong replies with, "Then who is going to protect everyone from me." I was actually like 发火 yk, when I saw that knife I was like "Don't you fucking dare touch my Enigma if you want to keep your head'. Anyway rn it is almost 11pm on Oct 23, finished watching ep 15 and actually so sad that there is only one more episode left, please please please give me a S2! NVM THERE IS NO SEASON 2. I also find it really hard to believe that the side couple is going to start their relationship as bf and bf, Gao Tu starts being a mama to a child and them babysitting little Peanut in one 54minute episode! Yes I did "accidentally" and I say "accidentally" look at some spoilers.

IM LITERALLY CRYING HOW COULD THE ENTIRE SERIES JUST END LIKE THAT? The side couple legit deserved so much more bro like wdym they meet in some playground and Shen Wenlang is happy to meet Gao Tu for the first time and they hug and now their story is over? I at least want to see that they ended up together and raised the child together. Like Gao Tu's child doesn't deserve to spend his life without a supporting "Father Figure" and I really hope they have a Season 2 and the side couple could have a much better life together. im actually crying so hard rn. THANK U SM TO ABO DESIRE FOR GIVING ME HAPPINESS, A NEW OBSESSION WITH THEIR SHUAI GE S' AND A FIXATION THAT I CAN ANNOY MY FRIENDS WITH. ILY'ALL SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THIS SERIES, NOW IM ACTUALLY GOING TO SIT AROUND REPLAYING THE ENTIRE SERIES an 亿 amount of times and reminence this in my dreams. TYSMMM<3

this show is so peak !!!

genuinely I was always looking forward to saturday throughout the week so I could watch this show. does it have it's problems? yes. is it slightly cringe? yes. is it a bit confusing at first? yes. but, honestly it's so gooddddd! it's just so INTRIGUING. this whole premise is something I've never read/watched before and I ate it up every week. I became so invested in both the couples. a crazy psycho obsessive enigma who stalks an s-class alpha he's had a crush on for years, and then pretends to be an omega, the alpha's exact type, all so he can be with him?? sign me TF UP!!

but it was the side couple that eventually stole most of my heart😭. the chemistry, the yearning, the stolen glances, the stares, the angst, the PINING!!! the side couple was so peak y'all don't even understand. I'm still so annoyed by that ending - I demand season 2 just for the second couple!!!

It was a great storyline but a little bit rushed

The story and music was great, it's like a future story or story of another world or another universe just like us with some differences. Actors were all great and acting was also nice. After watching ep 1, it started to make me curious and attacted to the characters.
With my imagination I can tell what happened in this story, so it was good for making pictures in a person's mind. That's what I liked.

There were some places from where some important parts were cut off which seems a little off but I think it's production team's idea for upcoming stories about second leads. The most hilarious thing for me was ending, it just ended in the middle of the conversation without any warning. That's what make me more curious about knowing this story more.
So, I believe it's also some kind of trick they used to make people curious about next.

Overall, I liked actors, acting, scenes, storytelling, cinematography but was a little bit confused and curious about editing some important clips in latest episodes and the ending seems to come out of nowhere or can be said a little rushed.

In the end, I would like to thank all the actors, directors, producers, writers and all staffs and people involved in this project who gave a new perspective to think and expand our understanding of some extraordinary mind.
Thank you so much.
Hope all of you can keep doing great things like this in your life.

I must say that I enjoyed it, but I felt a little bit robbed

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

So this series is the first Chinese BL omega series, and I didn't know what to expect. I must say that I was actually surprised. The way that these actors were able to portray these characters and bring them to life just amazed me. The duality that the actor Huang Xing did with his portrayal of Hua Young was amazing, as his character was first shown to us as an omega. But then his character shows his true colours as an enigma; a whole new personality is introduced to us. Qiu Ding Jie also played the role of Sheng well, as I enjoyed the relationship between Sheng and Hua throughout the series.

The second couple, Guao and Shen, stole the series and my heart. Am I disappointed with how things ended with them? Yes, yes, I am. But I am not mad, as I saw on Twitter that the way they ended it is basically the way that they end the book. This is one case where I wished the screenwriter actually went a different way from the book because Guao at least deserves his happy ending.

There were some scenes that I felt were not necessary. And then there were some scenes that I wished they had included/expanded on, but they didn't. I am grateful that we did get to see their kids, as I found the interaction between Peanut, their son, and Hua cute the way that they were fighting for the attention of Shen.

All in all, I am glad that I gave this a shot, as I did enjoy the series. I felt that the actors played their roles well and were able to bring the characters to life.

A Bold, Emotional Dive into Instinct, Identity, and Power

ABO DESIRE completely exceeded my expectations. The acting in this drama was genuinely top-tier every emotion, every glance, and every silent moment between the characters felt real. The cast carried the story with such depth that even the quiet scenes had weight. Shen Wenlang and Gao Tu’s chemistry was undeniable, and you could feel their connection growing stronger through every episode.

But honestly, the second lead deserved so much more screen time. Their character had layers and such strong presence that every time they appeared, the energy shifted. It’s one of those cases where you can tell there’s a whole story behind them that never got fully explored and it’s a shame because they added balance and emotion to the main dynamic.

The reunion scene between Shen Wenlang, Gao Tu, and their child was the most emotional moment of the series for me. It was such a beautiful closure tender, heartbreaking, and full of unspoken love. Seeing them finally together after everything they endured felt like a reward for all the pain and longing that built up throughout the story.

Overall, ABO DESIRE is powerful, emotional, and beautifully acted. The cast deserves all the praise, and I truly hope we see more of these actors again maybe even a spin-off giving the second lead the story they deserve.

OBSESSED

I am obsessed, I am literally so obsessed that I listen the OST on repeat all day and I am rewatching the episodes until a new one comes up.

I have watched a few BL series but I cannot say I was a big fan, however, without knowing much about omegaverse or what this series is about, I decided to give it a go.

The plot is just amazing. I like the twist, I so like that we have such a beautiful omega male being in fact a domineering, manipulative and obsessive enigma. I like how he plays, I like his aura, he is sexy, mysterious, dark, possessive. And Mr Sheng is just extremely handsome and cold on the surface, but so weak in front of our Hua Rong.
