Jack and Joker (2024)

Mesmo não tendo nem 5 episódios, esse BL conseguiu me deixar obcecada de uma maneira que nunca esperei ser capaz. A atuação deles é algo que nunca duvidei, MAS MEU DEUS, eles fazem de tudo e um pouco mais. A personalidade de ambos os dois também me apaixonou, o Joker sendo irônico e manipular e o Jack sempre sendo uma pessoa boa independente de tudo. O Joker no lovers enquanto o Jack vive no enemies é algo surreal, a confiança entre eles não dita com palavras mas com ações e tudo mais. Talvez eu esteja exagerando e seja apenas um vício que tive, mas com toda certeza, está sendo um dos melhores BL que assisti e provavelmente ficará entre meus favoritos.

Unique and passionate

I found this drama very unique compared to other BLs. Typical BLs are usually based in an office or a uni or a friendship circle and I think that is gradually getting repetitive and uninteresting. This is the highlight of this drama. Rarity is very significant in a drama, especially BLs. As we are modern day by day, we see different things. We tend to find uniqueness everywhere and that's what it makes something interesting.

Firstly, the story.
This is the key highlight of this drama. We favour to believe that BLs are classic and cringe as we see a lot of unusual romance in it. Well, typically that's what makes BL different from other genre's. But, I think it is crucial for a genre to stand out. Furthermore, this is the perfect example.

As of the music, I feel it is usual and that is fair.

Casting would be my favorite. A cast of a drama is as much important as the story. They should perfectly fit into the story. I believe that every single actor of this show fits in that criteria.

Finally, the rewatch value. As I explained through my review, this drama has a great potential and it makes the viewer curious which is perfect. I hope to see the next episodes good as the same. The drama has been great for now.

Overall, I loved it. Looking forward for the next episodes. Susu na ❤

Greatest Storyline!!

I've been watching this for a months and no joke, this is surprisingly amazing thai drama i'd watched( because i'm kinda bored with high school Thai drama lately ). I mean, almost everything is great in this series like the OST, the acting so natural, the story is cool & good( but i don't like when suddenly "Marry" things mentioned & i'm like, nuh uh🥴), their comedy, their heartbroken, the meaning life itself and more scenes that angst and touching ny heart. I'm really glad that i watching this series, i can't get enough of thrm and really waiting for the next episode, because this is epic & so thunder💖💖

Overrated

Idea of the plot is okay execution is tragic.
Story is all over the place and many times doesn't make sense. They started tons of topics and didn't explain half of them. I don't know who wrote script but some scenes seems as if they were recorded without it. It's neither good comedy nor action or romance. If you want to watch something with more romantic scenes then don't waste your time.
Music and editing doesn't match scenes and don't create any type of atmosphere.
Cast is handsome but because story is so badly written acting to it must have been hard so sometimes acting is also boring to watch.
I planned to drop it after 3 episodes but I waited till 9th because I thought it would get better. It didn't and I feel like I wasted time on this.

My top 3 now

It hasnt even ended yet but I'm so in love with this series it is now in the top 3 of my favourites. The story line is so interesting, actors and their interpretations of characters are top tier proffesional. I don't even finish one episode and Im already thinking about the next one - what will happen, what will be another Joker's alter ego, what will happen between them, and between other actors as well. The moements we know werent scripted are making it even more addictive and real. Huge congrats and thank you to Yin and War since they've invested in this show themselves, we wouldnt have it without them and I wish them the profit they deserve.

Wish it was better written

The cinematography is beautiful, most of the actors did a good job, Jack's actor did an excellent job. It's good they tried a different type of story but it needed better writers.
As an action series
Ep. 1 is rushed, some scenes are so badly written they make no sense, later episodes have too many filler scenes they become boring.
Fighting scenes and action scenes are poorly written and executed. There is no tension, it does not matter how much a main character is hurt a min later they act like it never happened, side characters are made of eggshells, touch them and they drop immediately. It does have a few good comedy scenes, one good sad scene.
Had a lot of potential and could have been really good if the story was written better.
As a BL
In my opinion they added the romance just to attract a certain audience but did not hire someone who can write a love story. In 4 episodes it barely has a few minutes of romance, there are more scenes where characters talk about a possible romance between Jack and Joke then actual romantic scenes. Unfortunately the main couple has no chemistry so it's not really a BL.

The first thai bl in years I have been invested in

Yinwar is single-handedly the industry we all cheered😞 If you're like me and read reviews for highly praised thai bls or start bls that are promoted all over your fyp and drop pretty much all of them cause the plot doesn't engage you or the acting/writing is just too far gone from your standards of the amount of cringe or disrespect you'll allow as viewer, YOU AIN'T GOTTA WORRY NO MORE. Know I say this without previously being a fan of Yinwar or knowing their past projects but they deliver in every scene. The plot is brilliantly entertaining and carefully thought out arcs like the first three episodes is one arc, it's so simple but at the end of the day I need good writing along with representation. I am completely in love with War, his character is so charismatic and his eyes are so expressive.I love that in an angsty bottom. Yin completely sells me on Jack and his motives and morals, it's amazing to see moments where his persona breaks. Since I discovered thai bls a couple of years ago I watched a handful of good ones and have been disappointed time and time again I took a break and Jack and Joker pulled me back in. All I can wish for is that you give this show a chance like I did cause I can guarantee you'll stick around. My only regret is watching this show when three episodes so I have to keep coming back every week lol. I fear I must watch their other bls to sustain myself. I am so excited for what comes next.

Fresh air in 2024 BL era. Looking raw outside, but actually not.

Jack & Joker might be a one of the most awaited BL for 2024. Yin and War will served us by their talent again on screen in this year and we all really anticipate with their another artwork.

Disclaimer, i'm not in Yinwar fandom but i watch Love Mechanics and i don't really eyeing for that one. But Yin and War ability in acting is no joke and they are super talented.

I will give you my opinion based on 5 important things that should be in a good series. Plot, Acting, Cinematography, Music and Setting.

Plot:
+ Jack and Joke is a WELL WRITTEN characters. The characters has layers and depth of emotions, it makes both of main lead are shining. Jack written as a good boy with tragic background family somehow related to how fucked up background family that Joke has. It's all connected in interesting way, and ended being a good harmony of chemistry. The simple details of both Jack and Joke characters interwined their bond and make them super related to each other, like yin and yang, but in very human and realistic way. The wr⁸iters really put so much effort to make both of the main lead slowly building their bond without any rush. It's blended perfectly and smoothly, very satisfying.

+ The big idea? SO GOOD. A love story with slowburn paced between a very human characters and an anti hero. The main lead as anti hero is rare to find in Thai BL so this is very genius. Story paced are normal, not too rush, but not too slow. But there's a disadvantage of how the "Big Idea" will deliver in just 12 eps.

- THE PLOT HOLES. Holy shit this almost ruining the fun of the story. ALL OF THE THINGS that maybe important aren't included in the story and i feel very uncomfortable with this. I will give you some point:

1. The way the writers forgot to give us a clue how Joker IS A REALLY BADDY THIEF. Like they not showing the flashback story of Joker is A BIG thief in underground circle, and not showing to us how he managed to be that baddy. After he imprisoned, he just walking casually to that underground area and getting attention. He being super populer underground for being anti hero isn't highlighted in a few first episodes. It make me wondering why they cut how people in underground are "idolizing" him as anti hero. This is very important part. Yeah i know it presented by just a dialogue in the series, but it is not satisfy me personally. I want a compact flashback with flamboyant vibes to introduces "JOKER".

2. That little story of Rose, Jack and Joker. It's fucking cringey i can't help that it was too embarrasing to watch.

3. The way Tattoo and his friend introduced. There's a lot of plot holes and their characters are not strong.

There's so many plot holes in 1 to 5 episode i can't tell you more. An illogical story that could be better if they have more episode/budget to make the story more realistic. Also, the unimportant and irrelevant comedy with bad timing. Ughh.

Rating for story: 7.5/10

Acting:
+We all agree that YinWar is one of the most talented actor in Thai BL industry. The quality of acting that they served to us is incredible. I have NO complaint at all for their chemistry, acting, mimic, micro expression on screen. They ate.

-Unfortunately, the acting of the support roles are doing otherwise. I don't expect that Mark Siwat's act are super rough and not delivering. His acting was super cringe idk why i think he need more strict director to lead him to play this role. Some of his dialogue are deliverd in a weird way, and his voice intonations is like a rookie. I don't like his acting in this one, but i hope he can gradually improving in the next project or in the next episode. Other than Siwat, is a super standard level of quality. Somehow it annoyed me, somehow isn't.

Rating for Acting: 7.5/10

Cinematography:
+It's very Thai BL classic. Not disturbing but not impressive. They shoot a good angle and their cut scene is smooth, no awkward cut scene and the transition from scene to scene are clear. Satisfying enough for me.
+Grading was good. It's on themed, not too greenish/sephia looks, but not too bright. It makes the vibes of the drama are on point. Good Job!

Rating for Cinematography: 8.5/10

Music Design:
+Ok. Just ok, no loud or disturbing music.
-Ugh personally i hate comedic sound in every Thai BL series.
-The OST are out of themed. I personally don't like it.

Rating for Music Design: 7/10

Setting/location/property:
+Everything looks good and believeable. Jack house are my favorite. The mansion of Boss are classic and i love the interior. I love the outdoor space, the parking lot, even the bar that Jack and Joke met for the first time.

Rating for Set: 9/10

So my total score for Jack&Joker; U Steal My Heart!:
7.9/10

It's worthy to give it a try.
