The characters have time to develop their feelings and unlike most BL dramas nowadays, they aren't rushed into falling in love in episode 1. Yin and War took their sweet time to make sure this is one of their best production and so far I say they succeed, I can't wait to see the rest of the show.
I still don't like the setting and a somewhat childish take on the mafia world but putting that aside, this show has too many great scenes to keep me watching. Bravo.
HOW DOES HE SELL ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AT A BAR WHILE BEING UNDERAGE???? 😨😨😨
Option 1: Plot hole. Option 2: He knows the manager and the manager knows his situation (debts, sick grandma) and he just lets Jack work there without any ID. I mean, the manager doesn't mind him sitting there talking with his clients.
This doesn't need to be a BL, we have plenty of TayNew BLs, this is a fresh change and it's freaking cute. The whole show is like Scooby Doo, it's heartwarming and funny.
Personally I think episode 1 of this is better than Kidnap's (though I love Ohm very much). You can see Yin and War have full control of their creative work, meanwhile Kidnap is just another GMM typical BL show. I don't mind each that each episode is one-hour long, I love it, it's been a long time since we have a YinWar show.
I love this type of series. The Joker is clever, cunning, and honestly decided to be a con artist. even though…
It's fate alright. Joker is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even without Joker's in his life, Jack will still end up being the boss' pawn because he can't pay his parents' debts. His plan to borrow money from the bank is unrealistic at best, that's why some banks had refused him already. I don't know if Jack or Joker is in the wrong in episode 1, lolz.
Because it deserves to be the worst: no respect for viewers, constant ads, terrible acting and writing. On top of that, it has a very big budget thanks to its sponsors. Money is a very important aspect when I vote this poll. Imagine other shows with a budget like that and you can tell they will be improved one way or another. MLMU is like a very rich kid with all the money given to it and yet it can't even achieve anything in life. That is the worst.
Rewatching episode 1 today with better quality, I can say that the cinematography is way above those cheap shots in GMM shows, even with high-budget show like My Love Mix-Up. How they do that I don't know, maybe hiring a lot of talented people to work on this show. The quality is like that of a movie, not a TV show. Thank God for this, though I don't like the plot that much, I enjoy it very much because of Yin War chemistry and a lot of great scenes in between. When the producers truly care for their products, you can tell.
I feel like War waited his whole life for this role, lol
He said publicly about wanting to play something like this role over the years. Good thing he and Yin are both independent artists, they can pull this off, imagine him and Yin under GMM, they couldn't create a show such as Jack and Joker.
I was a bit underwhelmed. I love these two, but the script was lacking and at times totally laughable it was so…
As it should be. Thai is never good at making believable thrillers be it BL or non-BL. From the time I saw the trailer all I could think of is two of them playing doll-house. War wanted to play a character like this so much he decided make crime show with all these action/mafia scenes. I would rather have both of them making a realisitc show where two normal working-class boys falling in love with each other in a deteriorating economy of modern-day Thailand, but it may be too much for those screenwriters to handle. It's easier to make a ridiculous plot with guns and chase scenes than a realistic plot with all the complexity of life itself. However, this is what we get and I think it's fine to watch it for what it is.
I love the main character but the cheap jumpscares are way too many. Whenever a director abuses cheap trick like this, I don't expech much from the rest of the episodes.
This series is good but it missed the chance to be bigger in the BL era. If this was a full BL show, I think it would make a bigger impact. James Teeradon, as usual, is awesome. One of the best actors right now, I watch almost everything he acts in.
I still don't like the setting and a somewhat childish take on the mafia world but putting that aside, this show has too many great scenes to keep me watching. Bravo.
Option 2: He knows the manager and the manager knows his situation (debts, sick grandma) and he just lets Jack work there without any ID. I mean, the manager doesn't mind him sitting there talking with his clients.
