Chains of Heart (2023)

Bromance, BL, Mystery, Suspense

I like the part where the thriller of the mystery from the beginning and it gain a lot of viewers. Acting skills are perfect. Music background good as suspense to create tension. But ending is so sad which would he takes off the gloves and the ending is very bad he goes on the run. Causing Ken to be left alone again. I pity Din sister no one cares for her as her eyes are blindfolded and hands are being tie up. Ending could have been better.

This ending cause a lot of fans unhappy and we demand season 2; since Din had changed his face, fingerprints and vocal before he can change it again maybe back to Din? Or someone else. Since Lue is being wanted/ fingerprints belongs to Lue not Din.

If there is season 2 which have a happy ending fans will watch and even gain more fans.

Chasing the thriller/suspense, mystery is something good to began with but an unhappy ending causing hurt.

If anyone making petition for Season 2 "Chains of Heart" drama message me.

Will come here again if there is further updates.

Hot confusing mess

I might be due to the fact that I skipped some parts or got distracted, but I could not retell the plot of you held me at gunpoint. The biggest flaw is that what needs explaining or elaboration is just left there and what is obvious and in your face gets explained too much. Choices in flashbacks (when to show them and how often) or memories (clear only to the one remembering) are confusing and even frustrating. Relationships remain unclear for a very long time.
That all being said, it's at times a very intense watch, with great scenery and an interesting story and theme. The romance part is secondary to the crime and revenge plot, which is great if executed well. If that had been done this would have been a smashing 9/10. But due to above mentioned flaws it gets a mediocre 7.5/10. What's with the gloves by the way???

idk what it was

1st if all it was horrible. started watching for the hot cast and finished it for the same reason. i was hoping it'd not take the typical plot twist but guess what. the lead actors hardly had scenes tgr. most of them was of the mainlead w his past lover. the chemistry betn the leads was amazing tho hope to see them in a better series. the storyline sucked. many of the things did not make sense and it was overall very confusing.
someone said it gives manner of death + kinnporshe vibes so i was excited to watch but it was honestly disappointing. the actors & the cinematography was great the only prblm was the bad storyline

it was interesting

At the beggining I didn`t like Chains of heart, but later my opinion changed and surely I will rewatch it. At first sight I really liked Lue, but I`m dissapointed that he is Din. I was sure that Din isn`t dead, there were hints that Lue is Din, but I didn`t believe. Another dissapointment is the final episode. I hoped that Lue and Ken stayed together. This series didn`t show many romantic scenes, but the scene with Ken and Lue was hot. I really liked Boom`s role in this series, for me he is good actor and I will be happy to see him pair with Haii once again.
It was intrerested at all. I wanted to give 9 stars, but thanks to the final episode, I gave it 8.

Now a fan of Boom

I agree with most of what’s been said in regards to the writing and plot. There are tons of holes and not the best explanation. The audience I feel already knew everything from the get go in regards to the Peter/Din situation. Peter (Lau) was Batman if it with his quick changes in wardrobe. I do agree that the cinematography was pretty good as well. It was entertaining enough to hold me through the entire thing. If I’m being completely honest though what kept me around was the question of when Ken would finally catch up and 100% I kept coming back for Boom. I had no idea who he was. Now i’m a huge fan. Give me more Boom.

Acting and chemistry off the charts

Started watching this drama because of the plot but stayed because of the acting. The writers really did such a half hearted job at writing the script or maybe the drama did not enough budget, this show could have done much better. The chemistry between Din and Ken is so good you can feel their longing, their sadness, The actors themselves are so good and as someone mentioned I'm so happy they chose actors that looked their age in the drama. Boom, he has got such soulful eyes, you can see every emotion he is feeling. Haii, again an amazing actor. You can see in his mannerism how he has changed and aged over in the span of two years. Would watch the show again just for these two

One of the most underrated BL dramas and SPOILERS

I wanna start of by saying i watched a lot of BL dramas. This one is, by far, one of the most underrated ones. When i first looked up the title and i saw the rating i thought wow whats wrong with this. Then, i saw people saying they didnt understand it and that the editing was weird etc. I can see what they mean by that, but tbh it wasnt that hard to follow along and understand it. Also, the storyline? the plot? the acting? AMAZING. It has what it needs to draw you in and make you keep wanting to watch the next episode. I watched all of it in one night just because i wanted to see what happens next. The nsfw scenes were well thought of, they werent too explicit and not too boring because some can be. The way i was actually more interested in the storyline and everytime a 18+ scene came on i was saying "come on i wanna see what happens next". In conclusion, this is one of the best BL dramas of this kind ( gangs, violence, and pure DRAMA) so it deserves a way higher rating than it has. Also the plot twists? Im not even gonna get into that. GIVE THIS DRAMA THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES!!

Read this before you watch CHAINS OF HEART

First of all in the very first episode I was thrilled by the opening scene and also it made me wanna watch the 2nd episode.
On the second episode and even the remaining episodes people were complaining that the Story is confusing ummm 30% i would agree but 70% no.
Here, I think this is not much of a BL although it does contains 18+ scenes and gay romance still I think the main idea of this whole drama is about educating the youth about how we people are damaging them and also it contains various different crime ideas that is really happening in this world of today .
This serie from my pov is good as it speaks about the various problems that our youth is facing today along with the idea of LGBTQ community.
Speaking of the characters there I found DEE DEE really annoying like tf eewww.
As for Hin and his bf they're really cute together.
And Sai is such a good actor ,On the final episode when she was talking to INGPHA she slayedddd.
And as for the last couple KEN And DIN
(Mr .Lue) their over-all Chemistry is quite good but i was expecting much more and in the very last episode we didn't see any moments of them but don't worry Sai is getting married and IG it will be on that day they will reconcile since it's Sai's wedding and obviously Din(mr.lue) will be there and we also see KEN agreeing to come to Sai's wedding while they were speaking on the mobile.
I just hope that there will be a special episode displaying the mains together and I would also like the whole serie to end with an intense bed scene (KEN AND DIN) !

Confusa

La manera de explicar la historia me parece confusa.

Me explico. Es verdad que en la trama hay mucho misterio, es normal que no se termine de explicar y quiera dejar al espectador con las ganas, pero a mi parecer, solo consigue que cueste seguir lo poco que cuenta.

¿Nos encontramos ante una buena historia con el peor montaje y dirección?

Si la trama ya de por si es complicada, la manera de contarla aún la lía más. Planos que cambian de repente sin sentido en una misma conversación, conversaciones vacías dónde parece que van a explicar algo y no aportan nada, falta de coherencia en algunos puntos, etc.
En verdad, me sabe mal, la voy a seguir viendo porque la historia creo que puede ser muy interesante. Espero que mejore.

La terminé y a mi parecer va empeorando... una lástima...

Puntos positivos: la historia, la estética, el misterio y los actores.
Puntos negativos: la dirección, el montaje, los diálogos...

Imparfait, mais ça fonctionne

Malgré les critiques assez mitigées et négatives autour de Chains of Heart, c'est un drama que j'avais prévu de regarder avant même sa diffusion. Je suis toujours enchantée lorsqu'un drama s'éloigne des bancs d'école ou souhaite nous proposer quelque chose de différent. C'est vrai que Chains of Heart n'est pas parfait, semble confus plus d'une fois et est une blague de mauvais goût quant à son final, mais il reste une proposition franchement honnête si on accepte de fermer les yeux ici et là.

À trop être sur le qui-vive, il devient plus facile d'assembler les pièces du puzzle. Chains of Heart n'est qu'un 1000 pièces, donc les contours sont assez rapides à faire. Par la suite, la confusion peut rendre la tâche plus ardue, mais on fini toujours par soit essayer et réussir, soit attendre que le drama réponde à sa propre confusion. Malgré tout (et ce n'est que mon avis de faiseuse de puzzles de 1000 pièces) l'histoire tient la route grâce à une pointe de subtilité sur certains aspects de l'histoire.

Certes, certaines scènes sont vraiment trop théâtrales. Plutôt que d'être prise dans le feu de l'action, j'étais plus secouée de petits rires. Mais si vous aimez le BL, alors vous êtes désormais capables de prendre une majorité des intrigues et scènes d'action avec le sourire plutôt que trop de sérieux. La proposition de départ était honnête et nous change des décors de ces dernières années, donc je suis toujours preneuse dans l'idée.
D'ailleurs, les décors sont superbes. On quitte les grandes villes pour de magnifiques plans en forêt. C'était très agréable et rafraîchissant.

Pour remettre dans le contexte (et parce que je ne reprends que le résumé et ne mentionne rien que vous ignorez à ce stade). Ken et Din étaient ensemble. Din disparaît et Ken se retrouve donc seul. Deux ans plus tard, Lue croise la route de Ken.
Afin de placer l'histoire, on assiste à de nombreux flash-back sur la relation entre Ken et Din. J'ai eu quelques regrets quant aux flash-back de Ken et Din. C'était beaucoup de scènes intimes. Si au fil des épisodes ça ne reste pas cantonné aux roulades dans les draps, c'était un chouïa de trop. La détresse constante de Ken depuis la perte de Din est clairement montrée. Cela montre également que leur relation n'était pas seulement charnelle. Au travers de petites scènes quotidiennes, on sent tout l'amour qu'ils avaient l'un pour l'autre. Même si, encore une fois, la détresse de Ken est trop accentuée après six épisodes. Mais je chipote.

Je ne vais pas m'étaler sur la romance par crainte de spoiler sans le vouloir. Je vais seulement dire que l'histoire entre Ken et Lue manque un peu de subtilité. Une réplique hilarante dans l'épisode 07 envoie clairement balader la subtilité dans toute sa splendeur ahah. Mais c'est une romance qui fonctionne et qui est très plaisante sur son évolution et qui trouve son apogée lorsque les masques tombent.
La famille de Din envers Ken est exceptionnelle. C'était une très belle relation avec tellement de bienveillance et d'amour. En temps normal, les belles-familles sont diaboliques, mais ici, c'était juste rafraîchissant d'avoir une entente aussi saine.
Les antagonistes sont un peu (beaucoup) caricaturaux, mais d'un autre sens, les héros aussi, donc dans l'idée ça fonctionne.

En revanche, la fin est indigne. J'ignore si c'est le cas dans le roman original, mais c'est franchement décevant de s'impliquer tant pour cette fin. Paf, générique ! Ok... Au départ, je voulais mettre un 8/10 à l'histoire, mais le final me fait retirer un point.

Bref ! Est-ce que je le recommande ? Oui, mais tout en ayant conscience que la fin pue. Autrement, ça reste un drama entraînant qui sort des sentiers battus avec un très bon équilibre entre famille, amis, romance et action.

я разочарована

Охо, впервые, впервые я буду писать не хороший отзыв. А нет, второй раз. Первый был "Мелодия кофе". Вот тут немного будет иначе, так как актеры просто огонь подобраны, но сюжет - просто фэйспалм. Такая мощная и интересная химия в игре актеров, но все убито и размазано запутанным сюжетом, скачками назад. сон и конец - это вообще ЧТО ЭТО БЫЛО? А как все красиво начиналось. Я была в полной уверенности, что лакорн будет один из любимых. Но увы. Боже, я о драме и криминале, буду писать как о комедии так как слишком много дыр в этом проекте. Лу (Бум) носит свитер и КОЖАНЫЕ перчатки!!! Перчатки, в Бангкоке. Да еще ладно если это такие элегантные перчатки, а там... Дальше. Его и режут и стреляют, а он не убиенный от слова совсем. окружен толпой с оружием ребят, да ни каких-то, а бандитов охранников, но все пули мимо. Взрывы и подрывы слишком далеко и даже нет волны, но все падают убитыми. Кен (Хаи). ох уж этот парень. Он давно украл мое сердце. Этот метис может просто стоять и ничего не делать - уже будет шедевр. Но тут и с ним казусы. Сколько раз его душили? Видела комментарии, что зритель уже ждал, ну когда же все-таки да, а то уже скучно. Но если его не душат, он плачет. Дальше. Зачем нужен был чувак читающий мысли вообще не понятно. Единственные кто порадовал - это Поппи (инспектор Дон) который оказался хороший наш парень и Джонсон (играющий доктора - того с сигаретой не корейца). Джонсон теперь моя любовь. Шикарен. Буду смотреть другие его роли.
И так концовка. Что это было? Исчезнуть? Серьезно? Открытая концовка просто на вынос мозга. То есть 10 часов мы смотрели разворачивание сюжета и тут оп и хватит, все запутано снова. Что он убил при защите и криминала который уничтожил десяти людей , он считается виновным? Ну ок, либо нам дадут спешл, либо второй сезон (что мало вероятно!)
еще о Хаи. Я потрясена его игрой, так как ему надо было взаимодействовать и играть с двумя разными актерами (героями). Сыграно бесподобно. на этом все. Второй раз если и посмотрю только моменты Хаи и Бума, ну и доктора конечно. Остальное в топку, точнее перемотку.
