guysssss just power through the first 11 eps of slow burn and slight misunderstandings because all the eps after is straight up SWEETNESS!! I was blushing so hard because they're sooo cute and sweet omg..!
Okay, did the SML have a chance... as in, did the FL like him too? I'm fine with annoying SMLs that the FL only sees as a friend. But is it ambiguous in this drama?
For reference, I was okay with the SML in the Princess Royal tbh...
Honestly, I didn't care too much for the plot and there wasn't much logic, but I came back to say this. I LOVE…
Reading your comment after just typing mine, and mannn you really said it all. FadelStyle had such a good story and amazing chemistry. And the writers srsly messed up Kant and Bison's storyline—I agree. It's unfortunate, really.
Came for KantBison, stayed for FadelStyle. I reeeally loved Firstkhao since The Eclipse, so I started this for them, but I ended up finding out about Joongdunk. This drama was my first impression of Joong and I am in loove. I love his acting; he was the perfect Fadel. Imagine my shocked face when I found out he is the youngest of the 4 in real life.
With that being said, if you're here for the plot and action... look away. If you love the (good-looking) actors and/or are here for intimate scenes, look no further! For a drama with two hitmen and an ex-undercover cop (and our lovely mechanic), there was no action. It really just felt like a romance drama, with the hidden identity plot serving as conflict for the couples. The plot was just not executed well... 😭. Whatever action bits we got were lukewarm and not as exhilarating as I anticipated (especially since the intro to the series was so straightforward and action-packed). Even the "villain" in the drama was predictable and unserious imo.
I have to say though, FadelStyle just had the better story and relationship. I just liked them more when they were on screen. Maybe it's because I loved how "shameless" Style was, and how he wasn't afraid to push Fadel's buttons. On the other hand, Fadel had a cold exterior, but melted when it came to Style. Fadel just needed love, trust, and care. He is my favorite character. My favorite FS scene was when Fadel was asking Style to leave him, but his eyes were begging him to stay...
But either way, I enjoyed the drama because I liked the actors. I feel like I would have easily dropped it in the early episodes if I didn't. I was just happy to see First on screen again ngl. First and Joong scenes had me in a chokehold fr.
When I watched Jack and Joker for the first time, the special didn't come out yet. And now I rewatched the series…
The wedding with the cardboard is crazy. It was supposed to be a bittersweet(?) scene, but it felt so unserious and UNNECESSARY.
I was in DENIAL with Jack up until the final 8 minutes. Like I was so positive Joke would pop out at some point alive. Of course, I'm disappointed. Even with the scene of Joke being alive after the ending credits... like, so what?? Sure, he doesn't actually die, but we get no scene of him reunited with his husband, friends, or family. There isn't even a concrete plan for another episode/season, so WHY? I have so many questions, and none of them were answered. Piss me offff.
What I (WE) needed to see was: Jack and Joke's PROPER WEDDING and happily married life. Dinner with Joke's family. Scenes with Jack's grandma and Toi Ting. More of Hope and Save. Tattoo and Aran finally ending their push-and-pull war and getting together. Even more of Rosé, Hoy, and P'Nang. We needed a happy and sweet ending for everyone.
I love Yinwar, so my rating is solely based on how stupid (lack of nicer words) the plot was. It should have taken a completely different turn. Actually, I should have just pretended this special didn't exist.
When I watched Jack and Joker for the first time, the special didn't come out yet. And now I rewatched the series and then this special, expecting a happy, dandy time. I am disappointed and heartbroken. It felt so unnecessary?? Now I feel like I need to watch Love Mechanics to heal my Yinwar soul.
Surprisingly enjoyed this drama! I was a little scared that the miscommunication people mentioned would frustrate me. However, those episodes weren't too bad, and I lowkey liked it (haha)... I do agree that they got married rather suddenly without knowing each other, though.
If you can overlook the mediocre antagonist/conflict part of the drama, it's pretty good. It has its funny moments, its intense moments, and its heart-churning moments. I loved the leads' chemistry—both visual and physical. Loved all of the supporting casts too. It's one of the only modern dramas I could finish this year, so that says a lot!

Overall, good drama if it's to your taste 🤷🏻♀️.
