Unusual Plot, Even Better
I'm very picky when it comes to BL series, but 'I Will Knock You' broke my ideal type of BL series. One of the main cast members here is violent, and the other is portrayed as not very bright. I completed watching this series back in February of this year (2023). Surprisingly, every time I search for another BL series to rewatch, 'I Will Knock You' is always on my top list, even though there are lots of other popular, highly-rated, and well-regarded BL series available. I can't explain why I keep coming back here. Maybe it just perfectly suits my taste or preferences. Who knows? Haha.#saynotoviolence

The best BL series that I’ve ever watched. Addicting ❤️?
The best of the best BL series that I’ve ever watched.Storyline is a masterpiece.
Cute , funny, narcissistic, traditional , simple lifestyle and reality life surroundings. Realistic.
Both main actors did well.
And the rest not bad.
AMAZING ❤️🥰
And I’m impressed with Tar Atiwat Saengtien as Noey Watphlu. He portrayed his role so well. Narcissistic, cute funny, lovely. I love the way his soft talk and gentle caring for his loved ones (family, lover, friends). And he’s being narcissistic is the cutest ever. He’s the type of character that I really love. And Tar Atiwat Saengtien is only 18. I’m crying. You’re my favorite now.
Bom Thanawat Uthaikitwanit as "Thi" Thiwa Ananbhuchai is also good. He’s so cute and innocent.
And he’s 29 but his face looks like a baby boy. How is that possible. Baby face indeed.
I’ve watched 12 episodes two times in a row. And guess what. I’m going to watch for the 3rd time now.
This is The first time BL series that I never skipped for minutes or so because of unnecessary scenes or anything else. I really enjoyed every minute even every second of this series. Never get bored of it. Yes I’m enchanted to Noey Watphlu.
This series is really So cute, funny. Made me laughing a lot , giggling , smiling and crying.
OST is so perfect and cute. And I love it. Already in my playlist now. This is the first time I’m enjoying the old 80’s like song.
I LOVE EVERYTHING in this series. Hope there will be season 2.

It will Knock You!
This series has a good vibes impact. The sense of humor of the characters, the style or fashion and of course I love the music of this series. I had a lot of fun watching it and all I could say is we can never really judge the book by its cover.I recommend this series. You'll definitely love it and it would bring good vibes for sure.
What I like the most in this story is the unexpected moments. How the characters fell in love and how it will work, since they are so different with each other. The style, the attitude and gap of there age. It was unique because of the fashion and styles of the characters, especially the hair and clothes.
I have no dislikes in this series because it's fun and I love it.

trust the process!
the first couple episodes might be hard to get into, as IWKY it seems very slapstick comedy at first, but you truly have to trust the process and the storyline.the characters are so charming as the drama advances, it’s really not even surprising this won an award. there is comedy, some great friendships, and a good use of vintage styles.
I truly enjoyed all the actors in this series, most of all thiw. he seems rough and abrasive but he is a big drive to the story working as well as it does.
only watch this if you like comedy and if you go into it with an open mind. you won’t like this otherwise. I loved all of this. and the ending, although missing things i would’ve liked to see, was still good, in my opinion.
one of the most fun BLs I’ve seen in a while.

Unique charm and care
I decided to give this one a chance. I thought for sure this would be a standard BL pulp but it was actually a lot more heartfelt than I thought it would be.The plot line isn’t anything special but I think the show shines in it’s unique and interesting characters. Especially Noey, who’s eccentric and playful in a way I haven’t seen in a BL before (and I have watched a lot of BL lol). The leads both have decent character development, each teaching each other something over the course of the show.
Couple of negatives. The age gap. It’s noticeable and I wasn’t a particular fan. Noey looks like he’s 13 and Thi looks like an adult. The actors are of age but still gave me the ick.
Thi is kind of annoying. I’m usually fine with awkward characters but he made me especially cringe for some reason lol.
I actually liked the soundtrack. The show implies that Noey is interested in old-school music and films because of his late father. They showed instead of told us, so it overall just felt like good writing.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for something lighthearted. I probably won’t rewatch but it was a fun one-time watch.

Completely obsessed
I'm obviously biased when I say this drama has become one of my favorites for bls, they had so good chemistry that made me fall for their characters. The character development of Noey was amazing to see cuz he was such a troublemaker. Seeing Noey trying to improve himself was so cute. He was so stubborn, it was 1st for Thi cuz of his crush but when he started to become self-aware of how he used to be you can tell that Noey no longer wanted to be the person he was before he met Thi. He was so caught up in being too egotistical and chaotic that he never noticed the people he was hurting. It wasn't until his mother got hurt that he stopped and do better for himself and his family. Thi was just the trigger to get him to see that. Seeing them fall in love was so cute cuz Thi was so oblivious to his own feelings when he met Noey. I was a bit confused at the start if Thi had feelings for Noey that only Noey could see or if it was just a misunderstanding cuz Noey assumed Thi liked him and he kept bringing it up showing how cocky he was knowing he was good-looking. Eventually, Thi did start developing a crush on Noey as for Noey I think he was interested in Thi from the start especially cuz he was turned off by the idea that Thi could have been attracted to him. He looked like he enjoyed the fact that Thi was attracted to him that Noey didn't notice himself falling to Tho. I feel like Noey was projecting his feeling onto Noey when he would bring up when he thought that Thi liked him 1st when it was the other way around. It was only because Thi and Noey kept running into each other for the both of them to realize that were falling for one another but Noey was more obvious vs Thi was oblivious. At the end when they showed the time jump cuz they were living apart due to Thi going to study in another university I felt like they were rushing the ending I'm happy that Noey graduated from university and Thi and Noey got their happy ending but it made me wish the ending wasn't so rushed. The writers and directors should of given us more of a plot near the end. I doubt we'll get a s2 so it can feel complete but I'm just happy for Thi and Noey. If they hadn't introduced Thi's stupid parents who broke them up due to them not liking Noeys past of being in a gang and thinking that Noey was going to ruin Thi's life I feel like the ending wouldn't have been so rushed. I understand where Thi's family is coming from but they were judging a book by its cover without getting to know Noey 1st and refused to.Was this review helpful to you?
I will knock you ... its knocking itself out
The series is, to put it kindly, boring and predictable ... the story is childish, childishly constructed, as if someone desperately needed to fill a broadcast slot with nonsense, the acting is not even at amateur level ... mostly the acting of the actors is childish and stupid ... okay, maybe the actors are not to blame in the first place, but the story and the direction certainly are. This could have been done much better ... Watching the first 10 min of the 2nd episode finally gave me the rest ... I abandoned the time-wasting ridiculous amateurish series. Watching the show is time theft.I gave a 1 as rewatch value as there had to something in ... its really not worth watching a 2nd time

Knock out
Honestly, I approached this series 80% certain I would lose interest. However, I am delighted to say that the opposite happened. I now look forward to each new episode like an insatiable fiend. I was instantly drawn to Noey's character simply because he isn't some sanitized prince in shinning armour. His character is conspicuously flawed but relatable and loveable all the same . I have also certainly enjoyed watching his metamorphosis. Overall, I love this series. I am certainly going to be rewatching this for years to come.Was this review helpful to you?
10 years difference
Bom Thanawat Uthaikitwanit is 27 and gonna play the one who is bullied, and Tar Atiwat Saengtien is 17 and gonna play the bully???Bom must look very young as it's his first time.
I can't wait to see how the show is going to be. Hopefully it will be a mix a fun, love and of course, some drama.
1 week to go...
love y'all

-¿Crees en el destino? -yo creería en el por ti, porque te conocí
Antes que nada tengo que decir que talvez objetivamente no es una serie de 10 pero para mi lo fue, para mi me dio de todo y hasta de lo que no esperaba yo solo tengo que decir, que esta es una serie serie toda perfecta.Primero la historia y es que algo que si quiero destacar es que al principio puede parecer un poco "curiosa" (en el buen sentido de la palabra) por las situaciones y maybe también por los comportamientos de los personajes pero a partir de los capítulos 5 y 6 la serie va para arriba completamente y hace que valga totalmente la pena.
Si es un poco cliché pero siento que no cae en típica historia de amor saben.
Pasando a hablar de la pareja principal Noey y Thi, Noey al principio si te deja un poco wtf con sus comportamientos pero es porque todavía no lo conocemos y la vd que termina siendo una green flag total, neta que el cambio que va teniendo conforme avanza la serie es algo notorio y digno de admirar, luego también toda su personalidad es otro cosa que lit termina siendo único (lit todo esto de que nomas escucha una canción y que como que todo desde su vestimenta hasta su cuarto esta ambientado), es super bonita persona, la dinámica que tiene con su mama y su hermana, es de las mejores dinámicas familiares que yo he visto.
Thi es igual una green flag completamente, es una super bonita persona si al principio se ve toda esta faceta de el teniéndole miedo a Noey (que en realidad no nomas el sino todo el pueblo) pero yo pensé que se iba a mantener asi pero conforme avanza ves a un Thi mas decidido en todas sus decisiones que si, sigue dudando en decir las cosas pero ahora es porque tiene mas en cuenta los sentimientos, tambien lo podemos ver mas realizado como persona, como básicamente al igual que Noey tiene todo este crecimiento.
Ya ellos como pareja y maybe no como tal si no es todo este proceso donde se van conociendo y se van dando cuenta de lo que sienten, tienen de las escenas mas hermosas que yo he visto, luego que cada que tienen un "momento" de que ellos dos y que empiece a sonar el OST de la serie (Destiny) neta te da otro sentimiento, por destacar mas momentos tenemos cuando Noey le esta haciendo corazones de maneras diferentes, cuando se peinan igual, cuando lo ayuda en todo este cap de el voluntariado en la biblioteca, el te amo en la rueda de la fortuna, cuando Noey le dice a Thi "tendre exito x ti", neta se ven tan bonitos y real funcionan pq siento que se complementan super bien siento que ambos representan algo que les falta.
También tenemos otros personajes que destacan (unos mas que otros)
Tim/tia Tim y Nid Nhoi, ellas neta son otro pedo, sin duda Tim es de las mejores madres que yo he visto, ver la dinámica que tiene con sus dos hijos es hermosa, se ve que se llevan super bonito y que siempre están para todos, Nid Nhoi es otro personaje que carrea y mucho, tiene una personalidad muy de risa pero que se ve que ella siempre se ha esforzado bastante no por nada en varias ocasiones se ofrece a ser ella la tutora de Noey.
Thiw y en general toda la pandilla Watphlu, su lema de nunca dejar atrás a nadie, Thiw siendo la mano derecha y mejor amigo de Noey, lit se deja ver toda una hermandad entre todos, que si al principio no dejan de meterse en problemas, para el final el cambio que le dan a todos es hermoso.
Creo que puedo mencionar a los amigos de Thi que si bien si tienen unas participaciones, siento que no destacan mucho diría que su participación mas alta fue cuando están en el voluntariado pero aun asi es bueno verlos.
Esta serie es una montaña de emociones, pq en unas escenas si es un cague de risa, en otras si te puedes enojar, vas a llorar y bastante (la volví a ver y aun cuando sabia lo que pasaba volvi a llorar como nunca), en los últimos caps la serie se vuelve muy cruda a mi parecer, la ame por completo.
Algo que le tengo que aplaudir pq es simplemente hermoso son los créditos al final de cada cap (ellos bailando el OST) es hermoso pq en cada cap es diferente nunca ponen el mismo baile, y es admirable pq hasta ahi puedes ver un avance, los créditos del capitulo 11 a mi me destrozaron x completo, y el capitulo 12 ese es por completo toda la mezcla de emociones yo sin duda volvería a ver esta serie siempre:)
La frase del titulo es del cap. 12. Y otra frase que quiero destacar que es del mismo cap es esta "pero antes de que me muera de angustia quería verte una vez mas, otra vez, otra vez, otra vez y otra vez, y una y otra vez, otra vez, otra vez."

Difícil al principio
Es mi primera reseña y no se por dónde empezar...Tengo que decir, que a lo mejor le subo la nota al terminar de verla, pero empecé a disfrutarla a partir del capítulo 8-9 (y no se si eso vale la pena).
Aunque la trama pretende ser graciosa, me angustio ver como Thi esta todo el rato asustado y pasándolo mal, sin revelar en ningún momento lo que piensa o siente ( a ratos estaba por darle yo una ostia o algo). Que el otro sea creído y chulo me parece hasta gracioso (de rabia a ratos o no, me parece creíble e interesante para su personaje).
Entiendo en el primer episodio (y hasta en el segundo) la dinámica de adolescente malote que asusta al otro (aunque este otro es ya universitario). Pero, a medida que se conocen, no le veo el sentido a que Thi (el tutor) este siempre asustado y no se muestre tal cual es, ni diga lo que piensa en ningún momento (ni que sea acompañado de sus amigos). El otro, no se entera de lo incómodo y asustado que lo hace sentir (o a lo mejor sí se entera y le da igual), aún así se enamora de él, bueno, vale...
Como comenté, a partir del episodio 8-9 empecé a disfrutarla porque los personajes dejan de ser tan exagerados hacia los extremos y Thi empieza a actuar como una persona normal. Además la relación de la familia de Noey me parece bonita y bien contada.
Modifico mi reseña para añadir que la terminé y sí, le subí la nota ( a un 7) aunque no es de mis preferidas, es bonita.

La trama es muy graciosa
Esta serie me recuerda a my engineer, y es una de mis series favoritas 🙏 no siempre he sido fan de las series que tienen comedia pero esta me gusto mucho por los protagonistas. Es muy buena pero va poco a poco, no va apurada la serie, hasta donde voy (en el capítulo 6) se pueden ver avances en los protagonistas pero todavía falta más por ver y la verdad es que disfruto mucho la serie, si estás aburrido o no tienes nada que ver creo que es una muy buena idea verla. Creo que mi personaje favorito es Noey, es como un niño pequeño pero puedo apreciar que a veces intenta cambiar por Thi, en el siguiente capítulo que todavía no sale (el 7) puedo ver que empezará a esforzarse más y todo esto para demostrale a Thi que puede ser mejor. Thi es un personaje literalmente tonto pero no en el mal sentido, es muy gracioso y distraído, a veces ni siquiera parece la gran diferencia de edad que se tienen el uno al otro. No me gustaba mucho esta diferencia de edad y me negaba a verla pero una amiga me dijo que viera la serie y la verdad no me arrepiento, quiero ver como su historia crece y como el personaje de Noey madura en cada capítulo 😁Was this review helpful to you?
