i love this episode!!!
I really like this episode!!! because there's a lot of cuteness in episode two. still with Kant trying to get Bison, Style is still trying to make Fadel melt to him. i like how persistent Style is in following Fadel everywhere. KantBison also gives us a sweet scene, which makes us feel blushing. when I saw the scene where Kant felt jealous of Bison because Bison was with another man (Tawan) I felt scared because in that scene Kant was quite scary. I really really liked it when the two of them danced at the bowling alley, I felt the cuteness in this scene, I also laughed at it. But, when I found out that Kant was deliberately pretending to be jealous when he saw Bison and Tawan, and paid Tawan for it... I was annoyed!!! but I understood, because Kant was on a mission and it couldn't be that fast for him to really like Bison and I hope bison doesn't fall in love with kant too soon, BECAUSE I LOVE BISON SO MUCH!!! I don't want my son to get hurt because of a man!!!And in this episode FadelStyle is hot and sexy. I love the scene in the Sauna, I can feel how awkward Fadel feels but also can't resist Style's treatment. AND HERE STYLE IS SO HOT!!! GOOD JOB DUNK!!!
until the closing scene of the episode, I was quite surprised to see Fadel's scene in his room (I can't explain it) but I really understand why he is like that, because... who can resist the charm of Style?!!
I'm really waiting for more scenes between Kant and Babe, Bison and Fadel also Kant and Style. I want to know more about their relationship.

Wasted potential
The idea of the story was really nice but I guess besides the idea not much work was put into making script actually interesting.Both couples are popular and good looking and they both usually have good chemistry on screen so proper script would make it a hit.
Instead I got kinda disappointed. Either this story doesn't fit them or maybe they didn't have enough time to properly record some scenes but bdsm FirstxKhao scene seemed so cringe that I couldn't watch it. I was actually bored of overusing s*x plots without any build up. It felt like director was just thinking "we need to show them "having sex" a lot and then we will add bdsm so it will sell". I should have checked the director tho. He also made Only Friends and apparently wanted to stick to "sex" concept. Well some people will like it probably but for me it lacks depth. Therefore although both couples are one of my favourites I dropped the series. I hope I'll be able to see them in another one with better story.

The heart killer
It’s a pretty good drama. It’s only even two episodes but it makes me wait for the next episode. It keeps me interested. Like the whole week I was like oh I can’t wait to watch episode three I kept on thinking about it and they’re acting. Definitely got better all of them, especially dunk his acting out reallyWas this review helpful to you?
I did not like so much
When I found out that it would be inspired by Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, I immediately set off alarm bells. I thought, what does this story have to do with criminals and gays? The funny about this is story it's a woman who doesn't want to do what all women were supposed to do at the time: get married and have children.Well, speaking of the story itself, another story full of holes and boring/weak plots from GMMTV. I hope they wake up this year because the competition is knocking on the door. Another thing is that they should sponsor acting classes for their actors. In several scenes I caught myself thinking I'm better than Dunk. It gets complicated, but I'm glad that's over because there were no more stories to tell. People keep discussing situations that I think have nothing to do with sex. Having or not having kissing scenes doesn't make a story better or worse. It's pure puritanism. Can someone watch two or four gays and want to be a puritan?

Something different from GMMTV...
Sometimes there is a mircale and GMMTV does take a risk and does something different. The first couple Kant & Bison did not catch most of the viewers, because it was not a romantic meeting of two persons. Kant did approach Bison for a reason, because he had a deal with the police and he wanted to clear his name. While Bison was fully in it from the beginning, Kant was just a calculating bastard :) The other couple if different. While Style did it first to get a car and help Kant, he pursued Fadel on his own after a while. Something klicked and he did forget the car and was serious for a change.I would say Khaotung delivered a top notch performance, while First was mostly solid. Joong did the most usual as in any other show (starting off distant) and Dunk was much improved even when his over-acting sometimes was annoying and cringe. But this is only from the view of their relationsships. As hitmen they did not deliver at all.
Other than that, the story of the "Mom" was a bit shallow and not very indepth. It was over in an episode and I don't know I felt underwhelmed. The rest was ok, production quality was, as usual, excellent. Other than that I had not much connection to the whole show... something felt a bit off. I can't explain it, but I was not really in it. For me it was ok, the NC scenes were of course what the fangirls expected and they did not disappoint. Some people will of course tell you, that this is the best show ever, but of course, it's not. I guess lazy writing prevails which is typically in GMMTV tradtion. It's ok and GMMTV did take a risk, but I guess it payed off. At least for the actors it was a good development not playing the same stuff all over again, which I think is positive, but the story itself is lacking.
Edit: Also the tattoos are lacking... especially when you compare with people with real tattoos, so that was also a cost optimizing option to use foils instead painting.

Great series
This series is great and I highly recommend watching it. It's not boring. I've watched episodes 1 and 2 and it's really very interesting. In just episode 1 alone, there are already many amazing surprises that are definitely unexpected and what makes this series even better is the acting of the actors.I wish the best for this series 🧡Was this review helpful to you?

One of my favorite series!
One of my favorite series!As a FirstKhao fan, this show met all my expectations in every way. I loved seeing Khaotung as a ruthless hitman who turns into an absolute cutie whenever he's around First's character. Meanwhile, First's character, consumed by guilt, gradually gets caught up in the situation and spends the last six episodes trying to make amends.
Episode 6 is, by far, the best episode of the series for me.
I also discovered JoongDunk through this show and was immediately won over by their chemistry. Dunk, in particular, plays his role perfectly.
However, I have to say that what truly sets The Heart Killers apart is its soundtrack. Every song is carefully selected by P'Jojo and fits each scene perfectly. Even a year later, the soundtrack is still among my favorites on Spotify.
I highly recommend this series without hesitation.

What a waste of great pairs with potential
I know loads of people loved this series so please don't hate on my opinion!Heart Killers is meant to be a romantic thriller, with intense fights, spicy love scenes, and emotional roller coasters. But GMMTV has seen better storylines and scripts. Heart Killers had so many loopholes and illogical plot developments. I should have liked this series more, but everything about it felt like wasted potential.
Revolving around themes of trust and betrayal in the context of romantic relationships, the problems faced by KantBison and FadelStyle were glossed over in an incredibly superficial way. Heart Killers has not convinced me that they have tackled these themes adequately at all. Literally the only thing driving the story is the chemistry between the actors.
Joong is a really talented actor who could have chemistry with a pebble, but I’m not sure about Dunk. He certainly has good chemistry with Joong but he has yet to show range in his acting. Or perhaps it wasn't the right script/series for him yet.

Save your time
I started heart killer with so much expectation. Firstkhao and Joongdunk are kne of my favourite pairing but it all went to waste on this show. It felt like a bl made for the sake of making one. Kinda like a cash grab or something for the fans.The story had potential but the execution was bad. Something felt off about the show shince the first episode. I dont know if its the making, or the character sketch.. something feels off. And then coming to all those cringe scenes.
When it comes to actung Joong stole the show for me. He really nailed that character. Firstkhao are great actors but i wasnt a big fan of their acting in this one, but it wasnt bad performance. The exaggerated scenes Dunk did was hard to watch and i had to skip a lot actually. But at other times he did a pretry descent job.
Overall 5/10 for this show feels like too much. But its mainly for the actors.. thats it

Not good, get you to stay just for the romance - not for the plot (what plot?)
This might be the hardest review to write.I know loads of people already discussed this on twitter with the director himself, but I can't shake off the feeling this show is all based on the fetishization of the actors. It's fine if the s*x is in line with the plot, but here, for the first episodes at least, there is more nc scenes than plot. And it's a pity, 'cause the plot had HUGE potential.
If you overlook the stalking, and the forced kiss (Style forced kisses on Fadel, ep 2), or the forced sex (Fadel has sex with Style in order to get Style leaving him alone), the plot is different - it's so different I can almost overlook the plotholes. So many things did not make sense: like Style accepting to work with Kant, nor getting mad at Kant who basically set him up with a hitman. The dynamic between Style and Kant makes ZERO sense.
What keeps you hooked - again, if you don't take this show seriously - it's the couples. Fadel and Style are so sweet I found myself cheering for them even if everything else it's going downhill. As much as I love First Khao, I cannot find myself enjoying KantBison - Kant urging Bison to date ruined the chemistry, to me. Also there are things that don't make much sense with the plot about how the two of them act. For example, Bison talking all about kwordinig Kant's ex in front of Kant himself - just makes no sense at all.
I'm sorry, again, 'cause I love ALL the actors involved in this mess. I just wish they had a better script.
