Petition for season 2. Spreas the word.https://boysloveinsider.com/abo-desire-season-2-official-fan-petition
Absolutely not!!! If this only season hardly manage to scrap an 8 here, I cannot imagine how bad would be the 2nd season!! Let them finish with certain dignity and let's all move on.
Have you read through the wonderful reply @Jasprin had to my accusations regarding Huai Yi? https://mydramalist.com/discussions/788946-shan-he-yong-ji/145662-duan-huai-yi-beloved-long-lost-brother-or…
How brilliant your court case Yerisina, I have missed it before! - actually I am with your original arguments!
Coming back here after rewatching episodes 8-12 and left pondering….what drove Huai Yi to grow into what he…
I have re-watched three times and still have the same questions as you. He looks like disliking ShuHe from the first moment he saw him despite he facilitated the reunion with his brother. He became obsessive in his loyalty to his brother at some point that he took cruel decisions in order to protect him and the North Kingdom, like killing the prisoners of war. He thought if we free these ones they will turn against us and he was right, that was the plan by ShuHe and his guards all alone. What an irony, because Huai Yi was not the real brother of Zi Ang, he belonged to the Zuan family, Zi Ang was the prince of Jibei as he discovered. I think HY definitely lied to SH about who killed the prisoners of wars, better to say, I don't think he said it expressly but he let SH misunderstood that one. When SH takes the decision of committing suicide he was thinking that he would be spare no mercy the second DZA die. It is what it transpired by his conversation with his doctor. Let's remember that at DZA death Hua Yi will become regent. The doc assure him he can help him escape but SH was tired of this life. He has so much guilty on him about everything. So I have concluded, thought not 100% convinced, that Hua Yi motivation was his brotherhood, but also a power ambition.
Unappropriated questions - I wish Chinese fans were not so aggressive. They take advantage that both are quite candid. If they keep doing this we are going to loose the best part of this relationship and it is the spontaneity. Because that quality, their relationship looks genuine. While fan service is of benefit of their actors and the agencies, Jin kissing Xu in the airport did not have any benefit for them, on the contrary. It is a first one for a Chinese BL CP. Not even Elliott and Kipuka, the rumoured "real couple" of ABO has done something like that. They have all this cuddly attitude while filming, yet in their wide public performances, they avoid contact despite the fans scream for "a kiss". It is the easiest way to get cancelled. Jin action was a spirit of the moment affair. I wish Chinese fans could be less selfish. Following an actor/actors is also caring and respect them . Of course, there is the issue as well that these "fans" sell those videos for profit or disseminate them for traffic. Here 2 examples, there are more but these make me cringe so I stop here: https://x.com/yunton37496913/status/1976911078346178592 https://x.com/yunton37496913/status/1976886525880361061
I am a member I only paid 2.99 less than a cup of coffee. I can support them watching all eps and these videos. after this payment you can stop it just cancel the sub before the end of the month
Episode 4 - what a great episode! This is a fine example of an excellent Japanese BL. A good one will always improve the manga in their most controversial parts. Sexual harassment to the nurse removed - in the manga Kataoka actually touches the nurse back side, here is just a silly verbal banter that Odajima stops immediately. Kataoka is a more sensitive character that in the manga, in the manga he has that angle but here maybe because the brilliant performance by Wada Masanari, a seasoned actor, that comes across nicely. He is constantly alert of Odajima moods and since he decided to make him his family (wife) he took that role seriously. Odajima performed by a young actor Takahashi Hiroto portrayed the emotions of his crossroad and how touched he is by Kataoka free spirit and "good sides" soundly. His vulnerability and sensuality really well portrayed. Another thing that the live improve in relation to the manga, is that we don't know if Kataoka had penetrative sex with Odajima the first time in the car. So that it is left ambiguous and maybe make it more palatable for sensitive people. I was not expecting different as it is a Yakuza love story, but Odajima has felt something for Kataoka, certainly a strong attraction since he saw him for first time. As he has never had sex, maybe he wanted him to be his first time. Some argue that there is an unequal balance of power, yet Kataoka is a man who does not force people so there is something about him trying to play a fairer game that other yakuza members. Then the live show bring a super sensual sex scene in the second ep, fully consensual, much better and loving than in the manga. Kudos to the two main female actors in the series. Odajima mother and the madam of the Yakuza family. Compelling performance by both of them.
XuJin reaction to episode 7 - the morning after kissing. Again, Jin reaction is joyful! but you can see they both liked this scene very much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nACIHsb4O1o This is the 2CP reaction to the same scene. I have not watched their reaction videos because I find Wang Ding (Huo Ying) too obnoxious, and in this context of a BL performance, instead to be candid they could come as bias. They are actors in a kissing scene no need to react so surprised about it. He is so silly that did not get it that SH and DZA made love after the kissing in ep 6. The staff have to tell him!? However, Chen Fan (Crown Prince) has been so supportive of XuJin from the first episode saying this is "pure love" portrayed. Having said that Wang Ding say it is a beautiful kissing scene and, of course Chen Fan said: "I am obsessed with them", are we not all. Chen Fan is a real BL trooper! This will be the first video in this link at 00:25 https://x.com/lord_grim13/status/1976534275408396678
Unsolicited feminist rant - I, like most of you, have enjoyed this series enormously. It has been exciting, original, we have been thrilled with the fantasy of a "real life" CP in Elliot/Kipuka. Elliot gaining a solo admirer in old me. Yet, a significant amount of us wouldn't watch another Omegaverse series, even less, with Mpreg elements. It said that Omegaverse is based in the animal world. yet, the portrayal of a male pregnancy, does not reflect a mammal pregnancy. The pregnant "Alpha" doesn't grow a belly, look as glamorous as always and crazy fans praising Kipuka for portraying a guy with a stomach ache like is an Oscar award winner performance!? I have read posts saying than "better than a female actor"!? honestly?? Have you not thought that a female actor would have a better feedback as woman to portray a pregnancy? How many of you are mums here, quite a few I gather. There is nothing glamorous about being pregnant, nothing, women "loose control" of their bodies to the "higher" purpose of reproduction, their feet swollen, their bodies feels uncomfortable, their hair falls, and some of them, yes some of them died giving birth, even in "advanced countries". Listen, enjoy whatever you want this series and fulfill your fujoshi fantasies of a gay man with belly, but please spare the rest of us from such ignorant comments.😡
Good that you mention RL CP to understand how lucky we are with XuJin. They were unknown previously, not involved in any gossip. Both very studious and diligent. They are able to move freely as a CP. These days Xu have been with Jin every day. Crossing fingers we can see them like this for a long time.

Another thing striking with them it is that they shared a wardrobe. It is so obvious. They are not high earners so if they can share, why not? 😊 , but also they buy pair of things
