Impressive under every aspect

This is by far one of the best thai production of this year and frankly one of the best I've ever seen: with a very strong and well written plot, an exceptional acting performance from the whole cast and a well developed romance, Jack & Joker sets a new high for plot-focused BL dramas that don't want to simply tell a romanitc story.

As I already said, the plot is very complex, with many socially and politically aware messages throughout, with many high-tension moments, action-filled sequences and tear jerking moments; at the same time, the romance, although not the focal point of the story, is a very well written and devoleped slow burn, with a very detailed characterization of both the main leads and many romantic and rewarding moments. One of the strenghts of this drama is indeed the way both the action/heist plot and the romance are well devoleped, without any of the two remaining half-cooked.

Acting-wise, this was just overall phenomenal: although all the crew did a fantastic job at portraying their characters, Yin and War were absoultely breath taking, delivering one of the strongest acting performance I've ever witnessed in a thai production. War is especially good as Joke, and he shines particularly during his most dramatic scenes, and is in my opinion the highlight of the whole drama.

In the end, this is absoultely a must-watch for BL fans that are getting a bit tired of the same old romantic stories and want something refreshing and never predictable. Highly recommended!
