The Heart Killers (2024)

Hamburgers & First Impressions

Grab your plates children, good food has arrived, and I am not talking about the burgers. Kant is a snitch for the police, Bison is a cheeky hitman, Fadel is a moody hitman who loves cooking, and Style is a gremlin mechanic who wants an old car. Between the four of them, someone is about to get burn, and it's not the hamburgers!

Listen, this drama is a recipe for disaster, and I am SAT. STANDING. Heck, I'm even KNEELING, cuz my Wednesdays are about to be sooo good. This first episode had me hooked. As someone who waited forever for this, I was crossing my fingers that this didn't end up being a giant disappointed. Thankfully, FirstKhao and JoongDunk delivered, and I'm so happy all that waiting paid off.

I kept grinning throughout the episode. To be honest, I knew FirstKhao were going to deliver cuz those two are allergic to playing subpar characters. JoongDunk on the other hand, I saw Hidden Agenda, my hope for them was literally on the floor. So shame on me, cuz they have grown so much, and they were good.

Kant & Bison
The moment Bison started doing his little inlove-ness-ness cute thing with the tissue like a disney maiden in a musical, I went... 'Peoples, we have lost a brother! That hitman, just got hit by cupid's arrow.' No, but, already episode 1 and these two are talking about 'boyfriend' and doing the devil's tango. Kant out there talking about: 'It was so good, I passed out afterwards.' CHILD?? I mean, I saw that peg in the trailer, but damn, Sharon, that good huh? Khao a better person than me though, cuz after that butt grab, I’d have asked First like: ‘So, what are we?’

I love Bison, the moment he said 'thank you for the unsolicited advice, I knew he was gonna be one of my favs. Lol at him during that karaoke so they had to move! I feel bad for him though, cuz it seems Kant is gonna destroy his heart completely being the snitch that he is. Snitches do get stitches, so yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how it all plays out. As always, FirstKhao's chemistry is up the roof.

Fadel & Style
I am loving the dynamic between these two. Fadel is like one of those people who are like: 'Dear dairy, I went out today, and the humans are still there. I hate everything.' And Style comes off as one of those people who pets random dogs on the street and talk with everyone in the park. Him dancing by himself was such a mood. They gonna drive each other insane, in a good way, and I can't effing wait. When Style showed his tank-top, I knew he was going to be annoying as hell, and immediately I went, yes, more please, Fadel is gonna lose his mind, and I am here for it. JoongDunk were good in their roles, and I am happy to see them bring the characters to life.

Style going to hit on someone for an old car, and then getting thrown outside had me on the floor. He lucky he didn't get stabbed. Though he just might when Fadel finds out he's only after him cuz he wants a car. Poor dude. I am looking forward to seeing how that plays out, and how they'd end up together. The chase is gonna be so sweet.

PLOT: Interesting concept, brothers hitmen, getting tangled with two best-friends, one an informant, and one just in love with himself. It can only be chaos, and I am here for all the drama. I am looking forward to how the plot unfolds and what would become of their relationships.

We are starting with 9 stars, let's see how it goes from here. I can't wait for the rest of the episodes.

Enjoy the good food people!

It's Crazy

After the huge success of Only Friends , First and Khaotung are back . It's difficult to judge the show by watching only first episode but if the starting is well then the ending must be well .

Again First & Khaotung nailed their roles . Their acting skills are improving day by day . Most eye catching part is their visuals , it's really eye candy . Dunk's acting is not bad but he needs to focus more . The story line is engaging and it's really unique from other traditional school type of stories . Khaotung is doing different type of characters and his expressions for every single scenes , are likable . We know GMMTV background music is always worst , same in this series . The music is too loud and Dunk sometime screamed loud which is kinda unlikable .
This drama is funny , after watching so many emotional dramas , this is going to be our medicine .

Overall we are hoping for the best . Watch it , this series is really good .

First Impression: The Heart Killers

Overall: I was entertained and appreciated the different premise so I'm starting with 9. 12 episodes about 1 hour each (uncut). Airing uncut on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/2elmpcfm17c?lang=en_us&sh_pltf=4 ; airing uncut? on GagaOOLala in Germany, UK & Australia - US starting Dec 21st https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4985/the-heart-killers-2024 ; airing uncut? on GMMTV's YouTube channel not in the US, Canada or Japan https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI6Bo6a1yZ8iqQTM_A7AiYxQ&si=R4ODeKuWn7AV-SQh (I will use a VPN to check if Gaga and YT are the cut or uncut version, episode 1 on iQIYI was 1hr4m27s)

Content Warnings: murder, blood, manipulation, non con picture taking, blackmail/coercion

What I Liked
- an engaging start
- unique premise (non school setting and actors get to play characters closer to their real age)
- flirting/physical intimacy
- styling

Room For Improvement
- I've never seen a mechanic with that much grease on their face/body before, felt like a fictional way to say "this person is an auto mechanic"
- some of the sound effects/background music
- a couple of odd mouth/face close up shots
- to be determined if they can balance the humor and serious parts well
- (neutral) there's some nonsense stuff but it doesn't bother me right now

I'm at a loss for what to type, because in my personal opinion this series is very extraordinary. starting from the cast, the main cast to the supporting cast also acted very cool. in my opinion the acting of the people in this series is not stiff, everyone is very great. the acting of FirstKhaotung and Joongdunk is also very extraordinary. They are very brave to take on the roles in this series. I love how they portray their characters here, Bison who is adorable but also dangerous, Fadel who is calm but also scares me a little, Style who is fun and makes me laugh because of his behavior and also Kant who makes me crazy because I really like Kant's character here and I also really appreciate P'Jojo and the team behind the scenes for creating this series so well. Furthermore, for the OST of this series "Destroy Love" I really like it. In my opinion, this song is very fitting to be sung by Khaotung, I feel if this song is intended only for Khaotung.
I'm really waiting for the next episodes!!!

Excitement Builds: A Promising Start to GMMTV's 2024 Lineup

I had been looking forward to this series after watching all the trailers from GMMTV's 2024 lineup. It stars First and Khaotung, who have demonstrated incredible chemistry and acting skills in their previous collaborations. What really stands out is the captivating and unique plot centered around a killer theme, setting it apart from the typical love stories GMMTV is known for.

After watching the first episode, I knew my wait had been worthwhile. The drama is infused with P'Jo's unique style, evident in the music selection, scene coloring, and even the intimate moments of the chracters. While the pacing of the first episode is quite fast, introducing all the main characters effectively, it keeps the audience engaged.

I have always admired First and Khaotung for their ability to distinctly portray their characters. Their deep understanding and interpretation of their roles, combined with their physical transformations, are truly commendable. Their performances make the story more convincing.

Joong and Dunk's performances in this drama have noticeably improved, and their roles are refreshingly different from those in their previous works.

I really can't wait for the second episode!
