Blown Away!
I just finished this series and I can say that this 100% blew me away. Everything about it was fantastic. Can I give it more than 10/10?Blown Away by:
* The story! So compelling and it kept me on the edge of my seat. It was clever, emotional, funny, intense, and heartbreaking.
* The actors were phenomenal. I have to say War (Joker) deserves a best acting award for this series. He was so incredible. He’s just so versatile. Yin (Jack) was also amazing. You could tell he put everything he had into this role. So talented and so handsome.
* The rest of the cast was great. No one was overly goofy. They were all legitimately funny, serious, and perfect for their roles. But the grandmother stole the show for me. Loved her!
This series was just so good! It was a very high quality production. For me, it’s in my top four along with KinnPorsche, Manner of Death, and The Sign. Watch it!!

THIS WAS LITERALLY A GEM?
I was NOT expecting this.... I legit thought it was going to be like one of those boring new BLs and I was really hesitant especially cuz it's new ...but I liked the series cover it looked interesting then I went and saw some clips of the kiss ...and when I saw that it was in episode 9 i was like DAMNN!! i have to wait that long?? This series must not be that good.Oh boy was I wrong.
From the acting to their chemistry...to the story, plot the comedy this series was literally soooo well done. The comedic scenes were in their perfect place and was so natural and actually really freaking funny.. like legit laughing out loud!! I cried many times because of J&J relationship. Their story did not feel forced or rushed...it was told absolutely in a perfect and beautiful way befitting their characters.
Let's not even talk about how handsome they both are..and that sexy scene AHHHH!!!
All of the characters were amazing (boss sister nang, rose, grandma - her words always made me tear up-) especially their friends group!! I immediately went on and followed all of them on Instagram and watched clips because I was really invested and interest to know WHO they were and how comes I've never seen ANY of them ANYWHERE
Absolutely 100% recommend this..Thank you to everyone who loved this series and if by some crazy miracle the staff, actors or makers see this review then thank you very much for creating such a beautiful series🙏
To those who didn't like it...what's wrong with you?😭

Just Amazing!!
I just loved the whole story, acting, character development, cinematography and everything.This drama has made me cry, laugh, tense in some situations. It was a whole roller-coaster ride.
I loved that every character had their important part and were not left hanging just for the sake of building up the story.
Joke is an amazing character as he always tries his best to make everyone happy around him qnd doesn't want to let others down.
Development of Jack's character is very interesting how an innocent boy turns into a Grim Reaper but is still kind.
Jack and Joke are so much in love with each other that they always support and protect each other in difficult situations.
War and Yin has acted so well!!!
Tattoo, Hoy, Arun, Save, Hope every person had important part in the story.
Not to forget the Grandma's character... she is so good- a very cool and supportive grandma who wants happiness for his grandchild.
I just loved everything about this drama.

Just Brilliant
This was so enjoyable, you can ignore the imperfections, the actors, the acting, the story, which is about the unfairness of life, wealth and poor , but also being determined to grow no matter where you come from.All couples where great, it was nice there was already a couple who make it work. Everybody was great. You even kind of feel sorry for Boss in the end and he was horrible.
The kiss when in the middle of danger was beautiful, real and needed.
The little girl was bearable and cure.
(Well done everyone, I never rewatch anything, but i would this. Be proud you made a gem and you all where so wonderful)

YinWar’s tour de force
This has been a roller-coaster ride and I enjoyed it immensely. Since I went for a non-spoiler review, I’ll focus on issues that are not plot-revealing. I thank YWPB (which stands for a company established by Yin, War, Prom and Bonz) for this gem of a BL, this brainchild of theirs and wish us all more shows like that.Let’s start with the script. If you go to the MDL comment section (which I don’t advise) you’ll see that the script of J&J received criticism from various angles and positions - for what’s in it as well for what’s not in it/what’s (supposedly) missing. Was I fully satisfied with the script? No. Did it matter to me? No. I enjoyed the show despite of things I myself might consider script-related. Without going into detail: I appreciate many things included in the script or resulting from its execution, like character development (and character consistency), plot twists and revelations, mostly successful attempts to combine serious issues with comedy, as well as some general ideas spanning across the series, like involvement in criminal activity and dealing with it or various aspects of social injustice.
The story is not short on crazy, which I also enjoyed: it’s often a metaphor and a fairy tale with larger-than-life villains, brave heroes willing to sacrifice themselves, artifacts, powerful symbols and some good old mysticism, bordering on magic.
I also liked that – in many cases – the story isn’t straightforward; there are nuances, tweaks, not everything is as it appears, not everything is resolved as one would want and some issues remain unresolved entirely.
All of that, however, is but a canvas for the main plot: a story about the titular characters, their journey – sometimes together, sometimes separately. Side note: I find it safer when a show is named after the main characters. Other names often lead to confusion (see “Hidden Agenda” with a not-so-hidden agenda which became unimportant halfway through the series, or “Dangerous Romance”, which was not dangerous at all); “Jack & Joker” is a great title (“U Steal My Heart” – also very good and to the point). As this series has faced plenty of criticism for that too, let me list the following:
1/ this is most definitely a BL, not a bromance,
2/ the main characters are portrayed by Yin and War only, not by other cast members (sorry PromMark fans),
3/ the show is first and foremost about Jack and Joker, not about side characters,
4/ Jack and Joker are, at the same time, the main characters and the main couple – the series is about them as individual characters (hence it’s not just them spending all on-screen time together) as well as about their relationship.
The above are not just features of this show, they are also creative choices made by the producers and I agree with them.
The show’s music deserves at least a brief mention. The three main songs are very distinct and very good. “แค่ยัง…(มีเธอ)” by Tattoo Colour perfectly illustrates the action aspect of the show, “ทำไมต้องเป็นเธอ” by Dome Jaruwat is the romantic theme of the series, while War’s “ร้อยวิธี” is a love letter drowning in tears and the emotional core of the soundtrack. A special mention goes to the opening credits theme and it’s dark rendition used at the end of ep. 5. What did surprise me a little about the score was that Bonz was not it’s composer (as an actual musician he’s more than qualified for that) and that Prom (another cast and crew member perfectly capable of doing that) did not perform any part of it.
The shows biggest asset is the cast. It’s core is mostly young, consisting of YWPB and their friends, associates and frequent cooperators, first and foremost Mark Siwat. This core team was bolstered by seasoned and experienced artists, including GMMTV’s own Jennie Panhan. However, the show was on another level due to what YinWar did to it and in it. You’ll find it in most of my BL reviews and I keep repeating it: a good ship will save a BL while the lack of chemistry will doom it every time, regardless of how good other elements of the show are. Thailand has several top tier ships; YinWar are a powerhouse among them – that’s basically the stuff dreams are made of. Both actors have grown, matured and honed their talents to hijack our imaginations on that crazy roller-coaster ride I mentioned at the start of the review. Both are superb and outperform the rest of a very good cast; War, in particular, shines with his versatility, and both he and Yin are visibly enjoying themselves. Their powerful performances and chemistry elevated the story, covering for all of its flaws, plot holes etc. I have not seen this level of acting in a BL before – simply amazing.
Engaging, emotional, ambitious and very well acted, “Jack & Joker” is the best BL I’ve ever seen.

everyone should see this series!!
I just have to say this series is so amazing. It’s been so long since I’ve seen a good one, and this one is so good.I’d rewatch it over a hundred times.
The quality is absolutely incredible. so many series lack this level of quality, but this one? Its amazing.
The storyline never gets boring, it’s always interesting. I also love the acting, they’ve done a great job.
Each actor has done such a great job making the emotions feel real and relatable and the chemistry between the characters is so good.
I can already see this series becoming one of my top 3 favorites.

Story is unique but there are so many odds
I really liked the story because it is no the usual thai school or college romance.But after watching first and second episodes there are so many odd things that don't match with the scenes at all. I know it is a drama still I think it's better to watch these things.
1. Jack is so poor that he even can't affort to pay back his loan but he is wearing adidas tshirt.
2. Joker just got out from jail but he still have tattoos in his hand as well as in his body.
3. The bank is so big, but when joker got into the office there is no cctv camera.
I am really enjoying this drama....but I just pointed out some things that got really odd in my eyes.

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.

The story went from a ring theft, to the ring being used as collateral, to another mission to steal it again… it all felt too forced. The “Joker” character was meant to be smart and dangerous, but he just seemed clueless.
Then there was that scene in the hospital—everyone blaming each other, Joke crying—and I just thought, how did it get to this point?

An absolute masterpiece
I am at a loss for words. The action, the slow burn, the second chance/redemption romance, the yearning – everything about it was incredible. The production quality was outstanding, and the chemistry between the characters kept me hooked and engaged throughout. It was exactly what I needed.Yin and War did such an amazing job, and I’m thrilled that I got into this! There’s something truly beautiful about Jack and Joke’s relationship. The way they kept coming back to each other, despite everything they went through together and apart, made it so easy for me to love them. They continually fought for their love, their dreams, and their life together, which was genuinely heartwarming to watch.
I can’t forget the secondary characters either; I ended up loving all of them! Tattoo, Aran, and Hoy were such fun to watch, and I was really pleased to see Hope redeemed because I was hoping for a happy ending for him and Save. I also appreciated that they didn’t tarnish Rose’s character – she remained genuine and good-hearted, even after Jack rejected her. I love that she stayed around to support the community!
Finally, I appreciated how deeply they explored heavy themes like wealth disparity, inequality, family expectations, and identity crises without dumbing it down or being overly preachy. This added much more depth to the story than if they had approached it in a dramatic way.
Overall, I had a fantastic time watching this series. I laughed and cried – sometimes at the same time – and I felt incredibly sad when it ended. I will definitely rewatch it over and over again!

The YinWar Effect!!!!!!!!!!
A 10/10 show. I genuinely didn't find a single flaw in this show. The story had me hooked from the very first episode, but the real MVP is War. His performance as Joker is easily one of the best I've seen in a BL. He brings so much emotion to the character, and those crying scenes? Absolutely devastating. Also, why is he such a pretty crier?And the chemistry between Yin and War? Insane. Every look, every touch, every scene together felt effortless. They didn't just have chemistry—they had me giggling, kicking my feet, and forgetting I was supposed to be paying attention to the plot. Every episode left me wanting more, and by the end, I wasn't ready to let these characters go.
