I Faked It With His Brother, and He Lost It

About this drama

The fake-out stack is the fun. Julian, a top Omega, has disguised himself as a Beta for years because of childhood trauma. He saves his Alpha boyfriend Adrian from drowning. Then he pretends to have amnesia to test Adrian's true feelings. The test fails spectacularly: Adrian treats him as a burden and pushes him onto his older brother Damian. That alone would be a whole arc in a slower show. Julian, heartbroken after witnessing Adrian secretly hooking up with his stepbrother Ethan, decides on revenge: he will fake a relationship with Damian. What he does not know is that this top Alpha has been planning for a long time and intends to turn the act into real love. So every layer of pretense sits on another layer of pretense. Julian pretends to be a Beta, then pretends amnesia, then pretends to want Damian. Adrian pretends devotion while cheating. Damian pretends to play along while running the long game. The only honest emotion in the first stretch is the heartbreak. Omegaverse rules apply: dynamics matter, hierarchy matters, and the revenge arc bends toward romance the way these always do. The title's second clause, and he lost it, is a promise about Damian. Sixty-seven episodes leave plenty of room to keep it.
