Reviews

I just saw the first episode, the plot seems very interesting, a story of subterfuge that turns into love. The characters are interesting, Style is an easy-going and unconventional boy, the opposite of Fadel, very rational and always on the alert. The right mix for an amazing love story. Bison who wants peace of mind and love and Kant who is ready to lie to him just to have peace for him and his brother. The four actors are as good as in all their other works, but the production and editing are a bit mediocre, their work needs to be improved, especially the audio part and the use of sounds and background music

The rating here is bullsh*t

If you don't judge the series based on one NC scene, you can see how well they are all performing. First managed to make his character so different from Yok and Sand that I'm speechless cuz I thought Kant would be a mixture of those two but First managed to make them so different! I really enjoy all his scenes with him! Then Khaotung, God, how can he be a cute baby and a slutty killer at the same time? Next to Fadel he really turns into this little rascal but with Kant he's not holding back. I also love how many emotions Bison expresses. Especially when he thought about dating Kant even though he didn't want to meet him again. Joong rocked his role as well, I know him as a golden retriever, in his series too though he already impressed me in The Warp Effect. About Dunk, I still don't understand the criticism he gets from many watchers. It's like his previous acting got stuck in their brain and they are unable to see his current acting which is far better than before. I know some of his scenes don't look natural but it's still far better.
The only problem I had was with the sound effects like the "creepy" sound when Kant and Style entered the restaurant or when Kant was chewing the burger. It was weird but I'm used to the sound effects being used bad in GMMTV series like the huffing sound in Kidnap or more, I also noticed that some scenes were copypasted from 10 things I hate about you but I know it was the main inspiration for it.

Se dão o que falar é porque arrasam !!

Começo dizendo que estava no aguardo desse série desde que foi anunciada, justamente por acompanhar e ser fã dos atores talentosíssimos que fazem o Kant (First Kanaphan) e o Bison (Khaotung Thanawat).
Apesar de ter apenas um episódio até o momento que estou fazendo a review, eu já sei que vou amar The Heart Killers, eu já amo. Tinha muitas expectativas pelo fato dos atores serem conhecidos por sempre darem TUDO de si em seus respectivos papéis, e sei que não vão decepcionar, além da OST cantada pelo Khaotung que está simplesmente incrível, é um estilo diferente das outras músicas dele, e mesmo assim, ele serviu com maestria.
E no assunto de algo diferente, uma série assim é extremamente importante no meio de uma empresa como a GMMTV, eles tendem a deixar de inovar para fazer as mesmas coisas repetitivas, mas eu vejo em The Heart Killers algo mais maduro e que tem esse diferencial, junto com um toquezinho de humor muito gostoso e na dose certa. Os atores de Style (Dunk Natachai) e Fadel (Joong Archen) também tem uma grande chance com essa série de fazerem algo diferente do que estava sempre sendo imposto a eles, com o primeiro episódio ja vemos que eles tem potencial pra cenas fortes e emocionantes mais na frente.
Por fim, mal posso esperar para ver os outros episódios e avaliar eles aqui. Algo feito com cuidado e tanta intenção merece a repercussão que está tendo, mesmo que também venha algumas reações negativas no processo, sabemos que elas são fruto de pessoas presas na mesmísse, no passado, que deviam rever seus conceitos para conseguir aproveitar uma obra que traz algo diferente e que faz sucesso por isso ;)

Bobby, step out of the way for the younger TVB actors!

Bobby was an absolute joke in this. Actually, that is kind of ironic because Bobby thinks he's funny when really, he is just a loud, mentally challenged old man, you know, the kind who can't stop laughing when he talks. There's nothing worse than an old actor who can't get out of the way for the younger TVB actors to step up. If I may quote Bob Dylan's song "The Times They Are A-Changin": "Your old road is rapidly agin'/Please get out of the new one/If you can't lend your hand/For the times they are a-changin."

The trailer and the opening theme song video both seemed to say that the storyline is too clever for its own good. I may have only watched 1 episode, but I felt my hunch was right. It's a bad idea to base a TV drama on chess when it's not about playing chess! It's a particularly bad idea to use playing chess as a metaphor for mind games because "Queen's Gambit", a very-well received Netflix series that needs no further introduction, only came out a few months before this drama.

I praise the other actors and actresses in "Shadow of Justice" because they had to put up with fat-headed Bobby who improvises when he can't remember his lines. Anyone who has watched "House of Spirits" (a 2016 drama Bobby was also the lead in) would know what I mean. I think he gets away with stuff like that at TVB because he is a senior citizen and in Chinese Culture, respecting your elders goes without saying.

In short, don't watch. Go wash your hair or clean your room because that would be better time spent.
