Jack & Joker doesnt even deserve 8.0 or 8.5, imean that was one of most illogical action dramas i have ever watched.

Yeah just toss in some NC scenes with pretty faces (acting skills optional) and the fujoshis will gobble it up like its gourmet.

Not all BL fans support and love BLs from every country. There is a significant group of Thai BL fans who prefer only the type of content produced in Thailand. Thai BLs also encourage a strong shipping culture, which has helped build a large and loyal fanbase. So some of these fans tend to downvote BLs from other countries when they gain popularity, simply to keep Thai BLs at the top. This behavior has been ongoing for quite some time.

I wouldnt care what kind of ratings those trashy BLs get but mass downvoting BLs from other industries just to keep your favorites on top of the MDL charts is downright pathetic. If BLs from another industry has a good storyline and earns high ratings, why try to bring it down just to prop up your own?? That kind of behavior is truly insufferable.

Just go and check the ratings of Thai BLs compared to top KBLs like Love for Love’s Sake, Our Youth, etc.

Our Youth was ranked No. 1 with an 8.9 rating, but now it has suddenly dropped to 8.5. Love for Love’s Sake was at 8.7 and has now dropped to 8.4. Meanwhile, if you look at top rated Thai BLs, Jack and Joker is still holding an 8.8, Top Form is still there with 8.7 etc. So isnt it pretty clear who is behind this?

And this isnt the first time Thai BL fans have done this. I have seen them doing the same thing for a long time, they did it with Semantic Error, The Eighth Sense, and recently with Secret Relationship as well. They are incredibly insufferable people who just want their trashy Thai BLs to stay on top.

Other people, like straight drama watchers, dont really care about BL ratings, only BL fans do.

Im pretty sure thai BL fans are mass downvoting this drama. They have done the same with KBLs too, regardless of how good the show is Semantic Error, Blueming, To My Star, The Eighth Sense, Love for Love's Sake and many others faced the same treatment. Even a drama like Love in the Big City wasnt spared. They do it just to keep their trashy BLs at the top of the MDL charts. Truly insufferable behavior.


Edit: To prove my point, just go and check the ratings of top KBLs/JBLs compared to top Thai BLs.

Until yesterday, Love for Love’s Sake was rated 8.7, now it’s 8.4. Our Youth was 8.9 and now it has dropped to 8.5.

Meanwhile, the top Thai BLs remain unaffected, Jack & Joker is still at 8.8, Top Form and Peaceful Property are holding strong at 8.7, Reset is still going strong with 8.6 and so is Perfect 10 Liners, also at 8.6.

So just guess who might be behind this mass downvoting of BLs from other industries.

Alright, if we go by that definition then i would still call this one of the most illogical and painfully bad crime comedy action dramas i have ever seen. Whether its classified as noir or not doesnt change how absurd and poorly executed it felt to me.

It screams noir crime drama from every angle. Sure they threw in some comedy, but that flopped hard. I dont care what they claim to promote, this is clearly a noir, whether they admit it or not.

This has to be one of the most illogical noir crime dramas i have ever come across. The sheer amount of plot armor handed to both the ML and the villain is absurd, it borders on parody. Honestly i cant stand either of them. There isnt a single character to root for.

The action sequences are decent but is that really enough to carry a noir drama?? The plot, the execution, everything feels like a trainwreck. The number of times the villain escapes death or capture thanks to convenient writing is maddening. If there were even a shred of logic, he would have been caught or killed by episode 8 or 10. Instead, its just a repetitive drag.

As for the ML, he is the definition of frustrating. In every episode, he gets beaten to a pulp, lands in the hospital and somehow returns almost immediately, only to get beaten again. He is not just unlucky, he is unbelievably stupid.

Atp i cant even drop this shit. Im just fast forwarding through it at lightning speed to get it over with.

I 💯 agree with this even though im a Lovely Runner and BWS fan.

Are you kid?? Its so embarassing to reply you. Fk off.

Revenged Love is definitely my current favorite BL. Even that drama gave a bad impression initially after the first two episodes, but it drastically improved with episodes 3 and 4. As for this one, i dropped it after watching three episodes because i have no hopes for it. At least in Revenged Love, the acting was good even though i didnt like the first two episodes but here, i can't even say the same about the acting. So there is no point in continuing it.

I have already dropped this. That original comment was just my reaction to whatever i saw in the first three episodes. I later decided to drop it because I dont have the patience to go through another Pit Babe, type experience again.

You fuck off, beech. And yes, I will come here and criticize the drama, lets see what you can even do about it.
Got a problem?? Then go ahead and block me. Dont act like some interfering bitch telling me what to comment and what not to.

You didnt liked my comment?? Then Ok bye. Like why are u even fucking here.

Even i didnt like KinnPorsche, it was so OTT and the actors couldnt even act properly. The whole show felt superficial and mostly relied on NC scenes to stay popular.

Currently im watching 6-7 BLs, and Revenged Love is the best among them. Im not saying its the best BL drama overall, just the best among the ones im watching right now. The second best would be Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite, while the worst out of my current watches is Pit Babe S2.

I watched three episodes of ABO Desire, and it was really bad. At least in Revenged Love, i didnt find the plot or execution superficial and the actors can actually act. In ABO Desire, everyone looks like extras from short web dramas, and their acting is incredibly stiff.

I also tried Reset but even that one also didnt click with me so had to drop it.

And what does that have to do with the comment i made?? I clearly criticized the drama after watching the episodes. If you have something to say, respond to the criticism i made, what does my list have to do with it??

(And yes, i do watch BLs, probably more than you have watched in total but i dont add them to my list for personal reasons, since my family has access to my MDL account.)

Do people really find this good?? I watched 3 episodes and found it below average. The script feels superficial and poorly written, and the execution reminds me of outdated chinese office dramas with the typical boss X employee trope from around 2016. The production budget seems to have gone solely into the sets and locations while the makeup is terribly done, its glaringly obvious on screen.
Sheng Shao You’s makeup, in particular, is distracting. The lipstick and foundation are so heavy and unnatural that it takes away from the scenes and to make matters worse, he cant even act. The entire cast looks like extras pulled from those 1-2 min chinese short dramas.

Honestly i feel the show is only getting praised because it's a BL, set in an omegaverse and comes from china. But if im being honest, its a below average drama, no better than those short form chinese web series.

Lee Dahee's character has no S lines on her head, does that mean she is a serial killer, just like the guy with the glasses who kills people after sleeping with them?? Or has she genuinely never dated anyone??

Or maybe she is the original owner of those glasses and is behind everything thats happening, like she was the one who gave the glasses to that murderer guy and now to the male lead’s niece??

Idk about them remaking straight Kdramas or Cdramas but they have totally ruined two of my favorite chinese and korean novels/manhwas with their adaptations. One is My Stand In, which was adapted from the chinese 188 series novel Professional Body Double and the other is My Dear Gangster Oppa, adapted from the korean manhwa The Ideal Relationship. Both adaptations were terrible. I know many people liked My Stand In, i even had arguments with some of the couple shippers when it was airing, just because i pointed out how badly it was adapted from the novel. So yeah, i know how toxic those fans can be.

But the main point is that thai makers are incredibly cheap when it comes to adaptations. They dont know how to properly make or adapt a series, their only aim is to attract a large audience using cheap NC scenes. For them, the storyline doesnt even matter.

And yeah, i also disliked the thai adaptation of My Love Mix Up. I think the only decent thai adaptation i have seen was of the japanese drama Cherry Magic. All the others were just awful.
