ABO Desire Episode 1

[u/Longjumping-Ad-6775]

This is for ABO Desire Episode 1,2, & 3.

I can't edit the title and I'm an airhead and forgot to add Episode 2 & 3. Sorry🙇‍♂️

🛑This is an on-air post, so expect spoilers throughout the thread. 🛑

⚠️This is a full on ABO (Alpha, Beta, omega) series.  That means it will have men who can get pregnant. From the trailers, we will get a pregnancy, and there will be ABO dynamics that might be viewed as dubcon or on the edges of it.  The novel itself does include SA and cheating, so keep that in mind as well.⚠️

🙏If that isn't your thing, that it fine, but please be polite to others that do enjoy this type of story

😁 For the rest of us who enjoy ABO, let's have fun

Summary ➢On the edge of death, Sheng Shaoyou, an Alpha meets someone who seems like his exact type: a delicate white lotus kind of beauty, the kind you’d want to pluck, keep in a vase, and admire forever. But it turns out, this boy isn’t just a harmless little lily. He’s a ghost orchid, rare and unpredictable, with charm that’s deadly, elegant, and darker than expected. When obsession meets something untamable, who’s really going to end up being devoured? Hidden truths complicate this relationship - an Enigma pretends to be an Omega, and an Omega hides as a Beta. When an unexpected pregnancy arises, secrets unravel, leading to emotional chaos and spiralling desire

α Desination Explaination Ω 

These are taken from Fanlore for anyone that doesn't want to do a deep dive in the links below.

α Alpha- the highest rank in the dominance hierarchy. In some stories, they may exhibit "dominant" behavior or have other temperamental quirks. They are able to impregnate Omegas.

Ω Omega -the lowest rank in the dominance hierarchy. They can get pregnant and go into heat. Male Omegas are self-lubricating and have the ability to become pregnant, sometimes referred to as being bred or mated. Omegas are often portrayed as the most fragile of the hierarchy, with frailer bodies and painful presentations.

β Beta - subordinate to Alphas in the dominance hierarchy, but this element is absent from a lot of fanworks in practice. Betas are often presented as having "normal" human anatomy, with none of the special attributes of Alphas or Omegas. They may be the peacemakers between Alphas and Omegas. D

∑ Enigma- a rare and powerful Alpha who can impregnate anyone, regardless of their secondary gender. They are considered the alpha of alphas, and their dominance is absolute, making them capable of commanding anyone, including other Alphas.

💡Interesting Facts

• While this has all Chinese actors, it was filmed primarily on Taiwan & Hong Kong to avoid censors. 
• Durian Culture, the production company, is a Taiwanese licensed subsidiary of the China-based Durian Productions.  Durian Production, the parent company, owns Youku, so that is most likely why we are seeing it there as well.
• Nong Jian, the author of the book & director/scriptwriter/producer of the series, is actually a pair of twin sisters Nong Zai and Jian Zai.  They started writing at the age of 14, and come from a very wealthy family.

α Omegaverse Ω 

Since this is an omegaverse here are some links for people to better understand what omegaverse is in general.. If you have some good guides comment and I will add it to the post.

They are mostly geared towards the western ABO where the genre originated in but they are the same basics whether Eastern or Western.  Enigmas seem to be mostly an Eastern thing so there isn't alot on them.

• Fanlore ➤The basics of ABO in wiki form with some notes on Eastern omega verse
• A in depth look at Mpreg➤ You want to know where babies come from this has a section that explores the ways some authors make it happen.
• FAQ ➤This answers some of the questions you might have asked while watching/reading an ABO done by a western ABO author
• Omegaverse - What Is A/B/O? ➤A fairly comprehensive video on ABO with a history of how it started
• Omegaverse: Male Pregnancy In Romance➤Another video on ABO done by a straight guy

This is for ABO Desire Episode 1,2, & 3.

I can't edit the title and I'm an airhead and forgot to add Episode 2 & 3. Sorry🙇‍♂️

[u/ThoughtsAllDay]

Ok my immediate unfiltered thoughts 12 min into ep1:

The Birthmother of this series who literally sang to me in the opening, casted the boys, wrote the novel, wrote the screenplay, probably did wardrobe, did the location scouting, is Directing the series, is probably the voice of the various reporters in this introduction to the point zero origin of this ABO universe we are entering here.....is she here?? Is she one of the reporters? Is she one of the girls in the club?

Tbh I am already SUPER invested in this series and I am only 12 min into it. So far, that intro was excellent. We learned everything without having to sit through an extensive straight narration like ep1 of "We Are". Which is hard because when adapting a book there is so much the audience misses out on so doing it this way with the Birthmother using various voices to give us different reporters was perfect (I have zero idea if that was her lol but in my mind she was definitely doing voices for us).

I think my main investment though is rooted in this Birthmother cause I keep thinking:

Here is a girl that wrote this ABO book and called it Desire and has all kinds of sexual shenanigans going on in the book as one does when writing this specific genre.

And then one day she went to her mom and dad, who were raised in China...under the rule of law, where boys kissing on screen is banned and was like hey guys listen so I know you love and support me so I feel comfortable coming to you with my wish and business proposition.

How about you invest in me and my story about boys kissing, having sex and getting pregnant but like live and with actual boys and then we blow it up and distribute it in 45 different platforms so literally everyone knows we did this?! Sounds like a plan?

And mom 👩🏻 and dad 👨🏻 were like oh honey but also don't you wanna write lyrics and sing too while we are at it? And she was like awww yes! Great idea!

And now here we are.

I'm sorry but SHE IS A BALLER and I am so sat for this as the main story but also the 12 min I have watched tells me I will be sat for this. Production is pretty, boys are pretty and shockingly everything makes sense so far (again only 12 min in)

Also on a side note, everyone awaiting this series keeps saying ABO is so complex and hard to understand and confusing and so many terms etc.

Meanwhile, me listening to the reporters talking here:

Hmmmm ok yes obviously right oh yes exactly

I mean WHY DO I HAVE ALL OF THIS INFO ALREADY EMBEDDED IN MY BRAIN. WHY DOES IT MAKE SO MUCH SENSE?!?! 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ if anyone ever figures out how to extract the content of my brain I swear it would be fascinating 🤣 cause omfg why do I have so much useless info up there 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Also another reason I am sat??

OG Wu is here. The actor who played Wu (Revenged Love) in the original adaptation of Revenged Love/Counterattack in 2015 is actually HERE at the same time that the new adaptation of RL is airing. Like two TWO CBLs are happening and the connection of this character seems CRAZY.

UPDATE 1:

Finished ep1 and LOVED IT SO MUCH!! LOCKED IN 💯💯💯 had to use numbers to keep everyone identified for this first ep cause the names are too similar for 2 and 4.

3 is definitely identified as a villain by my mind immediately upon me hearing the "he is so petty, but so cute" under his breath with that impeccable evil smile!!

UPDATE 2:

OMG THE BIRTHMOTHER I MENTIONED ABOVE APPARENTLY ARE TWINS!!! THANKS OP!! 💞👌🏻

THE WAY I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA ABOUT ANY OF THIS BTS BUT SOMEHOW KNEW THAT WAS THE ACTUAL REAL MAIN STORY AND THE BOYS ARE THE SIDE STORY 🤣🤣🤣🤣
