The Heart Killers (2024)

First Impression 1/12

First Kanaphan and Khaotung Thanawat, what the fuck can I even say? Seeing them together again felt like a homecoming. The moment they appeared on my screen I couldn’t help but scream. They have this unparalleled chemistry that no one else in the industry quite achieves. I missed them so much and they absolutely delivered. Watching them reunite reminded me of why they have become icons in the BL world. My kings are back hehe.

First really balances his rough, edgy exterior with just the right amount of vulnerability and Khao as Bison is HOLY HELL, he nails it. His portrayal is soft but with a charm that makes you understand why Kant couldn’t resist him the first moment he laid eyes on him lmao. Bison gives me mystery and innocence vibes and it’s all because Khaotung knows how to work the smallest expressions, the subtlest body language, to make him (and us) obsessed with him.

PLUS their chemistry is beyond words, I deadass think they have this almost telepathic way of syncing with each other and it’s a joy to watch. Also GMMTV is known for keeping things fairly tame but Jojo decided to break that mold (as he should) because the sex scenes are unapologetically steamy and while it’s bold, it’s not gratuitous, it feels organic and I love it tbh.

But I won’t lie, I went in expecting something darker, more brooding with a heavy focus on crime but the series leans much more on the lighter side. However I don’t even mind. The romance is well done and that is enough to keep me intrigued but I do hope they explore more of the crime angle as the episodes go on, but for now, I’m happy to sit back and watch First trying to woooo Khao lmao.

On the side, I will say I'm not very familar with JoongDunk but their storyline definitely has potential. There is something interesting about their dynamic and I’ll hold off on fully forming an opinion until I see how it plays out in the later episodes.

Note : 1/12 THIS REVIEW WILL CHANGE AS THE SHOW PROGRESSES

Tempting

The first episode of *The Heart Killers* is an impressive start, full of excitement, mystery, and romance. Kant, played by First Kanaphan, stands out as a bold and edgy tattoo artist drawn into a dangerous mission. Khaotung Thanawat as Bison is equally captivating, balancing innocence and mystery in a way that keeps every scene engaging.

Joong Archen as Fadel and Dunk Natachai as Style add interesting dynamics to the story, making their characters feel fresh and intriguing. The storytelling is smooth, the visuals are stunning, and the chemistry between the characters is amazing.

With 11 episodes left, the show promises to deliver even more twists and emotions. It’s an exciting start that leaves you ready for what’s coming next.

It's Crazy

After the huge success of Only Friends , First and Khaotung are back . Aside from FirstKhaotung , JoongDunk took the whole attention .

Again First & Khaotung nailed their roles . Their acting skills are improving day by day . Most eye catching part is their visuals , it's really eye candy . Dunk's acting is not bad but he needs to focus more . The story line is engaging and it's really unique from other traditional school type of stories . Khaotung is doing different type of characters and his expressions for every single scenes , are likable . We know GMMTV background music is always worst , same in this series . The music is too loud and Dunk sometime screamed loud which is kinda unlikable .
This drama is funny , after watching so many emotional dramas , this is going to be our medicine .

Overall a good ., enjoyable drama .

I LOVE ITT

Ah, you’re referring to the Heart Killers series featuring First and Khaotung! Here’s a review tailored for that:

Series Review: Heart Killers (First & Khaotung)

The Heart Killers series starring First and Khaotung is a breathtaking blend of drama, romance, and psychological intrigue that leaves viewers utterly captivated. From the very first episode, the chemistry between First and Khaotung is electric, pulling you into a story where love and danger intertwine seamlessly.

What makes this series stand out is its ability to balance thrilling suspense with deeply emotional moments. The plot is layered with twists and turns that keep you guessing, but it never loses sight of the characters’ emotional depth. First delivers a compelling performance, portraying a character with intense vulnerability and determination, while Khaotung matches his energy with equal brilliance, embodying a role that is both

When a show is made purely to capitalize on actors popularity and the plot doesn't matter

It actually pains me to see these actors in this poorly produced drama. This show premise has a lot going for it. Two brothers, Fadel and Bison, are hitmen due to their traumatic past leading them down a path of revenge and carnage but find themselves entangled with two persistent and magnetic men that begin to melt their cold exterior and make them wish for a different road. Kant, who meets Bison by chance during a one night stand, is forced into trying to expose the brothers in order to erase his own shady past to protect his younger brother. In his pursuit of Bison and evidence to damn him he enlists the help of his best friend Style to seduce Fadel and pave an easier open for Kant to sneak his way in. While not originally aware of who Fadel really is, Style pursues and wins over Fadel with his tenacious heart. But trouble brews when the brothers realize they have been played leading to a crossroads of how to handle their lovers as their anger and their heart are at war.

With a strong idea and competent actors this series should have been a home run. Unfortunately this show fails to realize any of its potential. From the beginning it is hard to believe that Fadel and Bison are in fact professional hitmen. The pair are likeable and entertaining but the poorly planned and executed 'jobs' and the lack of backstory do not give them credibility as professional killers. Instead the show focuses only on the chemistry and relationship between the pairs without creating any true coherent plot line. It becomes solely about the 4 main leads love story using flimsy story arcs to move the story forward.

Shot with a very small cast this show appears as low budget often with the characters being the only four to appear on screen. Budget wasn't even afforded for enough extras in the hospital or public areas to make any of the story feel real. Sadly I do not recommend this show and suggest you use your valuable time on something else and wait for better projects from these actors.

The boicot in The Heart Killers

This series went from ★8.3 to ★6.3 in the time of four days since its release last week.

There’re people saying it’s because it’s bad, others are saying it is because it took Jack & Joker first place in IQIYI, and there’s also people saying it is too s3xual for it to be on screen.

So, no matter what the reasons are, when you come to watch a series, you must know where you’re putting yourself in. No matter what the series is about, you should value it as a series of such gender, such as action, romance, politics, horror, suspense or anything. If you’re gonna leave a bad review, these is probably not your series so what might be better is for you to stop watching.

Let’s give these series a chance to be great, it only started and I really hope I can say at the end, it was amazing.

a fun ride

Overall: I was entertained and appreciated the different premise so I'm starting with 9. 12 episodes about 1 hour each (uncut). Airing uncut on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/2elmpcfm17c?lang=en_us&sh_pltf=4 ; airing uncut? on GagaOOLala in Germany, UK & Australia - US starting Dec 21st https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4985/the-heart-killers-2024 ; airing uncut? on GMMTV's YouTube channel not in the US, Canada or Japan https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI6Bo6a1yZ8iqQTM_A7AiYxQ&si=R4ODeKuWn7AV-SQh (I will use a VPN to check if Gaga and YT are the cut or uncut version, episode 1 on iQIYI was 1hr4m27s)

Content Warnings: murder, blood, manipulation, non con picture taking, blackmail/coercion, non con kissing, harassment, homophobia, bullying, teacher/student relationship/grooming/pedophilia, stalking, beaten up, blood

What I Liked
- an engaging start
- unique premise (non school setting and actors get to play characters closer to their real age)
- flirting/physical intimacy
- sweet moments
- how characters aren't blushing maidens
- styling

Room For Improvement
- I've never seen a mechanic with that much grease on their face/body before, felt like a fictional way to say "this person is an auto mechanic"
- some of the sound effects/background music
- a couple of odd mouth/face close up shots
- crashing a grief support group and making a mockery of it on multiple occasions
- glad they turned the teacher in and there were consequences for that
- too much accordion music
- not a fan of level of harassment, luckily it ended in episode 4
- (neutral) there's some nonsense stuff but it doesn't bother me right now

Wasted potential

I've never thought I would be dropping a Jojo bl, nevermind one starring First and Khao, but here we are. Such good to great performances (First, I see you sir) wasted on an undercooked series.

The plot makes little to no sense, there's no rhyme or reason to it. Scenes happen one after another because the director wanted them too, logic and continuity be damned.
How did Fadel dragged an unconcious person (and stripped them) to a convienient empty swimming pool nearby, with one hand? Don't ask.
How did police missed two people dressed as giant teddy bears? Who knows.
Why did Kant wait to be tied up before he made he thought about escaping instead of walking away with the boat guy? Because he just did, okay?

And our killer duo, oh boy. I think Jojo wanted the aesthetics of them being hitmen, without the actual weight of what it means. As a result, the whole morality is wacked. One second we are supposed to believe they're cinanamon rolls looking for love, the next they're shooting at random innocent people after breaking into their house?

And no, despite this series insistance, stealing cars is not as bad as killing people, wtf?

I'm morbidly curious how this mess is going to end, but I'll probably read a summary instead of wasting another 4h of my time.
