Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart!

Funny and romantic - best BL I've watched

Oh my god this series>>>>>
It's definitely my favourite (and first) BL of all time. Like, there's nothing better out there.
First of all, the storyline was very solid and very interesting. I just kept watching and was very engaged in the story and in which direction it would go. This series explores very interesting themes, for example, criticism of the rich and life in poor districts.
The characters were very well made and well developed. Especially the main characters were very likeable and consistent. Actors who played the main roles, Yin and War, were absolutely amazing. Especially in the emotional scenes!!
Now let's get to the best part - the main couple. Their chemistry is fucking unmatched. I have never ever seen something like this before - these actors were made to play lovers. I'm sure they weren't just acting in some scenes...
I literally still think about Jack and Joker, their relationship was everything - the slowburn, the tension, the angst???
Unfortunately I do have some criticism for the show, although most of the problems exist due to low budget. The goofy sound effects were unnecessary. The free, non copyright music, was...well it was. If they had higher budget they would made the fuck out of this show. But honestly, the writing compensates for technical and editing problems.
Even though some scenes were very cringe...but I forgive them.
Also, the product placement was so fucking funny 😭😭 Garnier cream was everywhere.
Overall, this series is awesome. It has everything you need in a love story and the best part (to me) was that the romance isn't the main focus of the show, which makes it more special to watch. It's not perfect, but I give it 5 stars because I have free will and I had the best time ever watching this show. If you won't give this a try, you're definitely missing out!!

The best BL I've ever seen, kids. Like, in all the time I've been watching BL, I've never liked any as much as this one. The acting was like, sorry, but I really didn't expect this. I'm used to the BL I watch and this was just something completely different. As soon as they announced that this series was coming out, I saved it and waited for the whole thing to come out because the poster and the description itself were really interesting. And honestly? I don't regret watching it because it's really great. It's beautiful. I had tears in my eyes sometimes from both the depressing and funny scenes and I completely fell in love with the characters in it

So if you're into BL, this series is exactly for you and I believe it deserves a lot more recognition than it has. So I definitely recommend it and I bow to the actors and everyone who participated in this series because it's really great!!

I dont understand any of the bad reviews because this show was amazing

This show is honestly so well done. Especially considering everything was done and put together by Yin and War themselves. If you are a person who is just looking for a romance story and nothing else then its better to stick to another bl genre. This is more of an action show with some romance in it. Think along more similar lines to Kinnporsche in terms of actions scenes.

Violence and fight scenes should not be a determining factor on if someone tells people if the show is good or not because it is subjective. I personally thought the fight scenes were so much fun. As well as all of the heists.

Please give it a chance past the first 2 episodes as, like many shows, these are used to introduce the characters and get the plot moving.

War is an EXCEPTIONAL actor. Thats coming from someone who is also a tv actor for many years. His ability to pull off so many different "characters" in one show is amazing, as well has his ability to actually react to what is happening around him and feel it vs just reacting for his next line.

This show is soo much fun to watch and the characters are loveable. There is character development between all of them. Joker is a character that many can relate to as someone who thinks they are doing the right thing but it always seems to be a burden. Jack is someone people can relate to as a good hearted person who just wants the best for everyone at the expense of themselves.

Some reviews are saying that the script is bad but I think honestly it is so good. It has action, emotion, twists and turns, and they throw in a little comedy making the characters even more loveable.

I honestly am praying for a season 2 as it was left on a little bit of a cliff hanger.

For people wondering; the special episode is very hard to watch if you end up loving the characters. So guard your heart, fair warning. However, if you do watch it, make sure to watch ALL THE WAY TO THE END, after the credits.

YinWar does it again!

I'll start this off by saying I may be a bit biased as I absolutely LOVE YinWar but I mean who doesn't...

I really loved this drama, the story was fun and the cast hit it out of the park! There's no denying YinWar has amazing chemistry, but all the side characters and pairings were amazing as well (I will still be holding out hope for a S2 with Tattoo and Aran). I didn't watch this as it was airing unfortunately just at the end of its runtime but I literally binged the whole season in a day because I got so sucked in every episode.

I can't wait to see more projects from these actors, I had such a fun time watching this series!!

Interesting plot, Like both leads

Jack and Joker start really well. Unlike other bl, this has a decent story. All the actors did pretty well. Both the lead actors have a good chemistry. Jack, Joker, and Arun's appearance was most likable.

Still, many things after the middle where things not making any sense. In the last episode when Boss loses his s**t was so messed up, why does he want to play a game, it makes him look like a fool, he was greedy but come on having a ring that can possess any power is so unrealistic, he was just a fool. His guards acting was so bad, the fighting scenes looked fine but in the end, they did very bad acting, I feel like watching any old movie, where the villain ties people just for fun!

In the 11 episod someone take their own life because of boss but he got redumption but does someone like him deserves it?

To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often

AHHHHHHHHH this was a ride it was a treat it I loved it SO MUCH.

Acting:

I was pretty darn blown away in every way. I LOVE A GOOD CRIER. You HAVE to be a good crier to get me to really appreciate a performance, and these boys delivered me my meal fr. I enjoyed every minute. The silliness, the cockiness, the anger, the pain, the sadness, the love. Just so goooooood. Barely any notes to be made here.

Writing:

Well, it’s a drama, so I’m giving it some liberties because like I enjoyed it overall. But there were some interesting choices here. I understand that we need to move the plot forward and all, but like… I’d much rather go into medical debt than be indebted with my life and money to Boss fr… But okay, let’s go with it. I still loved this shit tbh. So dramatic, so wild, so fun!

Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:

Chemistry was solid all the way through. From strangers to flirtatious heartfelt moments together, to enemies, to friends, to lovers, to a heartbroken pair, to lovers. SO GOOOOOD. This was alvoely romance even if it was a background plot to the story. SO GOOD. The kissing was good, fittingly frantic and passionate. Good work, good work.

NC Scene:

Wasn’t sure if we would get one in this series, but it was lovely. I LIVE for a “I need you now, we’ve been waiting for this for sooooo long” moment and they DELIVERED. So good, WELL DONE. Loved everything about it. 10/10 and VERY fitting to the story.

Music/SFX:

Music was pretty damn good throughout. The dubstep was jarring and fitting at the same time, somehow. Some corny drama music, but that’s alright.

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH I don’t know why I have put this off for so long. It had it’s questionable moments, so I want to give it a 9-9.5, but I loved it so much it’s gonna get thatf 10 overall no matter what. FIGHT ME.

Now, for some highlights form my notes:

- Pops gotta chill tf out
- We’re all going through it, huh
- Quite the time skip
- *Hate your face, hate your lies, hate the blank look in your eyes. Hate your needs, hate your wants, hate the way you love to taunt. Hate your voice, makes me cringe every time I hear you speak. It's uncomfortable to know you share the same air as me*
- God, I love a good crier
- Ooooooh boy looking clean in that tux
- My good boys

- My boy TRUSTED you he THOUGHT you were a GOOD person I am livid
- WHAT?? Just take on some medical debt and pay it off later what are we talking about?
- NOT ONLY DID HE TAKE THE MONEY BUT HE WAS THE ONE WHO HELPED POISON GRANDMA
- OHHHHH FUCKING HELL YOU’RE DEAD YOU LITTLE TWINK
- *I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it. And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it. I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe*
- Baby would be a damn good bartender
- Hey, Boss. Real easy way out of this just -REDACTED-
- I feel empty
- Wow… He really just said that, huh
- I hate it here
- *I tried but, I don't think so. Maybe it was me who was fucking up. I gave all I could give but. It seems like it never really was enough*
- “We” hurt the ones we love the most??? WE???? Who is this we?? Because right now it’s just Jack and Pops, don’t put my baby Joke in that WE
- I’m still mad that talk wasn’t nearly enough to quell the burning anger I feel towards Jack rn
- Jack gonna be so mad at Joke for this
- It’s just a ring tho..? Is it like magic?
- A KISSSS???
- *Finally it has happened to me, right in front of my face. My feelings can't describe it. Finally it has happened to me, right in front of my face and. I just can not hide it*
- Ooooooh love an “I need you right here right now” moment EEEEE
- Your first step after getting a ring that supposedly makes you a major power of the country is to… kidnap and round up poor debtors who can’t pay you…?
- Girly dancing through the pain too cuuute
- Starting off math class for like 10-year-olds with GCD is kinda wild lol
- Pops in the schoolhouse, check the sky for pigs, bro
- You lost me with this whole one (of four) ring to rules them all

The Ultimate BL Series of 2024! (I can't believe it, I forgot adding a review here) ???

Well, this is just my opinion, and I know everyone has their own, so let it be—but Jack and Joker: U Steal My Heart is officially my number one BL series for 2024! 🔥 They absolutely nailed everything—the storyline, the actors, and even the fact that they put their own money into producing it. That dedication alone speaks volumes!

I’ve been watching BL since 2014, and my very first BL was Love Sick: The Series. But I became a true BL fan after watching 2 Moons with Bas Suradet, and now, with Jack and Joker, Yin and War have completely won me over. This is the first time I truly looked up to them, and I’ll support them with all I have! 💖

What makes them even more special is that they are self-produced actors—they have their own company, and no one is managing them. That kind of independence and dedication is rare in the industry, and I truly admire them for it. I really hope I get to see more #YinWar series, movies, or any projects they are in because they deserve all the love and success. There are so many people cheering for them (including the bashers—LOL).

If you haven’t watched it yet, what are you waiting for? This series is a must-watch! 🎭💘

Must-Watch BL Series! Highly recommend??

If you’re debating whether to start this drama, let me make it simple—just do it! From the very first episode, I was hooked, and the excitement never faded throughout the series. This is one of those rare gems where the storyline, acting, and chemistry all come together to create pure magic on screen.

The two male leads were phenomenal. Their chemistry was electric, and you could feel the emotions radiating from every scene they shared. Their acting felt so genuine and natural that it pulled me even deeper into the story. Watching them interact was such a treat; they complemented each other perfectly. It’s clear they poured their hearts into these roles, and I’m already hoping to see them reunite in another BL drama soon. Their performance here has set a high bar for the genre! 🥰

Another standout character was Grandma. She was such an iconic presence in this show! Her moments brought a perfect mix of humor, wisdom, and heart. I found myself looking forward to her scenes just as much as the leads. She added so much charm and depth to the series. 😆

The plot itself was engaging from start to finish. It balanced emotional moments, romance, and lightheartedness beautifully. The pacing was just right, keeping me invested the entire time without ever dragging.

In short, this is a drama you don’t want to miss. Whether you’re a fan of BL dramas or new to the genre, this one will captivate you with its heartfelt story, incredible performances, and unforgettable characters. Trust me, you’ll be thinking about it long after the credits roll! 🌟

Still my favorite after 2 years

I never jump into slow burns because they're just not my cup of tea. But jj did not feel like I was waiting for something that would never come. They did not tease us with unnecessary "moments" between the main couple –and making the wait more agonizing– as most slow burns do.

The story progressed, and I did not feel like romance was missing from it. I enjoyed it in its own pace, appreciating the attention to the action parts. ( I cannot begin to explain how much I loved the balance between the comedy and deep/more serious topics as well.)

But of course, when Jack and Joke finally got together, I was waaay beyond excited for them. And it still didn't feel like "the wait finally paid off!", it just felt casual. My problem with slow burn is how usually they have feelings for each other since the beginning but either won't admit it to themselves or just don't realize it.
J&J did the opposite, they developed their feelings throughout the story and their own conflicts, without any unnecessary romance drama.

Although towards the end, the bad guy started to feel a little bit "cartoon villain" viby, but that's not really a problem for me. I had a good laugh at how ridiculous some of his lines were.

10/10.. I truly recommend this with my heart :)

Joker is giving everything and we love it

I love everything about Joke. Like literally everything. His voice, the way he speaks so softly to Jack, his face, his tattoos, his smirks. And the way he kisses? This man is H-U-N-G-R-Y. I can't say enough about how complex and fine this character felt to me.

But sadly this is mostly everything that I liked. The rest is... Just weird. Things and especially change of feelings happen way too fast, some directing choices just flabbergasted me and Boss character... Don't let me started. It seemed like he is trying to be the villain we deserve so much but his portrayer looked more like drama kid with mental issues who definitely is not the main character but tries hard to be one. Damn, I'm sort of disappointed but overall I think that the chemistry and story are good enough but let's not kid ourselves Joker is the light of this show! I would recommend watching this just for him.
