Cute
Indeed, the actors impersonating Style and Fadel made the show. While FirstKhao acted well as usually, their performance wasn't necessarily impressive. The second couple did way better, and somehow it felt as they were the main couple. So, yes, it's only fair to say that they stole the spotlight.The pace was good most of the time, but not always. The action was dragging at some point. To me, the last two episodes were the best, as I greatly enjoyed Style's and Kant's devotion to their respective lovers, their crazy proofs of love and loyalty, their solid, undeniable willingness to sacrifice. It was actually a sane craziness, if I may say so, because they were fighting their not so good situation in order to gain a normal life, a better future with their loved ones. Their actions were touching, heartwarming. I found myself smiling the whole length of these two last episodes.
Also, the actress impersonating Lily (Mum) did a very good job, as she was obnoxious from the very second she appeared to the very last. She did a great job as the antagonist.
Something I have never imagined myself saying, as I never pay attention to the music (unless it really annoys me): the music in this film was great, actually much better than the film itself.
In conclusion, it's a blend of action and fluff, worth watching if heartwarming stuff is what you're looking for.

A mature step
This was definitely a more mature and bold step for GMMTV. Some of which were done more successfully than others.The positives: Khaotung and Joong!!! They were the best part of the show! They had good command of their scenes. They had great chemistry. You really felt like they were brothers. I knew this about Khaotung but Joong was a surprise. They both are cut from the same cloth in terms of nailing emotions and nonverbals. Those two were at the center of my favorite scenes in the show! I hope they get to act together again. Also this did have a more mature feel. There were conversations about more significant topics that I appreciated, such as personal preferences, trust and interpersonal relationships. My favorite story line in the whole show was seeing Fadel realize he is worthy of love and seeing how a partner stays with him and fights for their relationships. That was truly special. I applaud Joong and Dunk for their great scenes to bring that story line to life. I will also say that I was happy with the character development we got from the leads, especially from Fadel and Style. It is always rewarding to be with characters for five plus years and to actually see them grow up. Another special highlight was the police captain making a reference to Prison Break. I was thinking that before hand and it surprised me so much to see a very specific reference to my favorite show and to main character. Gold star to the writers for that one.
Areas to work on: This was not Firsts' best work, which was a little disappointing. A lot of his delivery was said not felt. Some of the supporting actors were very green. Also the writing was a little frustrating. Even though it did make me laugh often. I felt like the writers did not have the strongest ideas of what to do. I wished the actors could been given more to work with. It also bothered me that these hit men had no trade craft. I'm amazed they survived as long as they did.

THEY TURNED IT UP!!!
So this series, its not tryna be a KinnPorsche ripoff but i appreciate GMM wanna have their actors branch out more. It creates quite diversity and complexity among the actors like Dunk. This is a big stepup from Star in My Mind. This aint a loveydovey. From what i can remember the plot is just Fadel and Bison seeks out revenge for someone who murdered their parents in cold blood. The one who became their foster mother employed them as hitmen. Kant and Style being police informants tailing the two brothers so they can tip off police. Kant to absolve from his petty crimes. There we see not only the action scenes. We were also had a taste of edgy undertones referring to the kinks and just sex.I dare say, i love the sauna scene lol. Fadel and style. It's like so hot. Its wild to me that Fadel really had sex with Style to shut him up from following him around while Kant experienced some BDSM kink play with Bison. Their dynamic, albeit fitting, was a bit weird with the BDSM lol. FirstKhao been in their bag and JoongDunk dynamic here is a total step up.
The series got spicy from steamy scenes but the climax for me would always be the ending where Fadel and Bison finally learned that their foster mother was the culprit for the murder of their parents. After that hostage moments from the respective brothers; Bison took Kant hostage on an island and Fadel on Style, i love that they worked together to conspire against that bitch. Kant and Style negotiating with a police detective by incapacitating an official(?). Its a fitting end when, after taken as hostages by that bitch ass ho on the dinner table, made her drink the poisoned drink when they all beat up the guards around them. Its like swallowing a tough pill thats ur a sore loser lol. Then i find the imprisonment of the two brothers to be honestly better to pay for their crimes even though its all bcuz of that evil ho. Moving on, Kant and Fadel found a way to see them during free time at the prison. Oh boy i love me some steamy kissing scene from Joong Dunk. They might be the only duo who could really pull off such passionate kisses. It's so full of lust and commitment. Joong really showcased that. Love this so much!!!! Takes the cake lol. Talk about Style being desperate to be with Fadel that he took a place of the volunteer. U ho!!! Hahaahahahaha!!!!!
So yeah. Love the story. Its not loveydovey. There were twists and turns. Its an engaging series for me. The steamy scenes just made it better. It's not perfect but it has its own ways to get you. I dare say i prefer this over the Star In My Mind and Hidden Agenda. Those were outdone by this one. Prolly be one of the better series i watched last year and from JoongDunk of course. Love lots

The mellowest assassins in history
I was not prepared for this!First with tattoos, unhinged Khao, shameless Dunk, and badass Joong. It’s overwhelming in the best way possible. On top of that, there are some really compelling story elements and amazing chemistry between characters.
Joong and Dunk stole the show with their dynamic and relationship development. The genuine emotions that Fadel and Style feel for each other are so captivating that I found myself loving their characters more than I did First and Khao's.
Kant and Bison were still interesting, though. Their instant lust transforms into love in a really wholesome way; we just have to forget how Kant gets involved with Bison after their one-night stand, which we conveniently overlook for the sake of wholesomeness!
The hitmen premise was well thought out, but I felt the plot got a bit lost in the middle. By the end, we managed to get back on track, but at that point, I was more invested in the romance than in the hitman angle.
Overall, the entire project was enjoyable, and I definitely think it's worth watching!

Chaotic Chemistry, Soft Consequences
The Heart Killers is the kind of show that pulls you in fast, overwhelms you midway, and still leaves you smiling when it ends.From the very first episode, the series hooks you with its unhinged energy, messy dynamics, and absolutely magnetic chemistry. The pacing never felt draggy despite the long length, and while watching, I genuinely enjoyed the chaos, though I did have to take long breaks because the show can get emotionally loud and overwhelming at times.
Where the series falls short for me is in its lack of consequences. For a story built around hitmen, lies, betrayal, and criminal activity, conflicts are resolved far too easily... often within a single episode.
The hitman aspect remains largely theoretical rather than practical, the police investigation feels surface-level, and major plot elements (like the true motive and role of “Mother”) are never fully explored. Even the families’ acceptance of their son and brother dating hitmen happens unrealistically smoothly, which dilutes the tension the premise promises.
That said, the show clearly knows its priority: romance. The entire narrative revolves around bringing the two couples together, and in that regard, it succeeds beautifully. The chemistry, especially between Style and Fadel is the heart of the series and carries it effortlessly. Their dynamic is messy, embarrassing, intense, and oddly tender, making their scenes consistently engaging.
Overall, The Heart Killers is not a flawless or deeply grounded crime story, but it is an entertaining, chaotic, romance driven BL that delivers strong chemistry and memorable characters. It could have been much heavier and more impactful had it dared to explore consequences and darkness more seriously, but for what it chooses to be, it’s still a highly enjoyable watch.

I Really Wanted To Like The Heart Killers
I really wanted to like this series! I'm such a fan of the actors themselves and was eager to see them in darker roles. I think the storyline was murky at best; making their job very difficult. I think each captured their characters pretty well, but the story had too many loopholes that seemed pretty unbelievable. Dunk's performance was terrific. He became that character through and through. Joong was very in touch with his emotions throughout. Although I don't see myself re-watching this series, I don't think it's a waste of time to see it for the first time.Was this review helpful to you?
great show in every episode
I have been hooked on this show and is a solid 10/10. given timezone I set my alarm to wake early to watch the released episode before work then obsess for 7 days until I do it again.both couples are great. I love the diversity in their acting from their usual styles. it has a great storyline with good spice to it. rare to see a show that has good storyline, acting, spice and overall production.
I hope joingdunk do another series similar to this one that has a strong storyline and strong characters.

It is a 10/10 across the board. Both couples did so well!! Definite rewatch.
Honestly this series is genuinely so good. I will be definitely rewatching when this series has finished. As soon as i saw that FirstKhao and JoongDunk were going to be starring in this show i immediately knew that this would be ine of the best series i have seen. The cinematography is just so good and amazing. The plost and story had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode. Trust me when i say each episode keeps you on the hook waiting to see the next one. The acting is honeslty so good and i know that Dunk isnt the best but he has performed so well in the heart killers, he has improved so much. The spice level is definitely alot but the chemistry and the tension in those type of scenes is what makes that scene so good. This series is definitely a 10/10 and a definite rewatch. The acting and the cast did so amazing and i cant say they could have done it any better. The music and the ost are so addictive and so nixe to listen to. They are especially well because the cast sings some of the music aswell. Joongdunk performed so well in this series it is definitely a change from hidden agenda. Firstkhao honestly never disappoints as they act together so well and their chemistry is unmatched. Trust me when i say you should definitely wacth this series because it is one of the best i have personally watched.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best thai bl dramas I've watched in a long time!
As someone who watched several bl dramas, the heart killers was completely new, unique and exciting for me. I would absolutely recommend it!I cannot even begin to explain how thrilling it was to wait for each episode to release every week.
The plot kept me engaged right till the end and I couldn't have asked for a better ending let alone storyline. The plot, actors/acting and every aspect of this drama overall was really just a masterpiece.
If you are having any doubts about watching THK then don't because you won't regret it.
I genuinely hope that they release more bl dramas like this and props to the director and actors for doing such a spectacular job.
Whoever decided to pair JoongDunk and FirstKhao knew what they were doing because their acting and chemistry together warmed my heart.
With that being said, I won't give any spoilers just that there's no need to worry about anyone dying as the series ends perfectly.

It Has Style!
There is only one reason to watch this series. And that is because this story has Style. Style gave this series distinction. He IS the series and the only reason I finished this rather mundane and pedestrian story. Principally, the story is ridiculously silly. The whole story was so superficial and unoriginal. The ending was completely laughable. What I also detested about this series was the trickery of the plot into making it look like these guys were saints when fundamentally, they were sinners. You had murderers fall in love with two guys, who were scam artists and fast talkers and ‘sold them out’ as the expression poetically goes. They betrayed their trust. We tend to not want to see that as part of the story, but it is. Frankly it is all of that and more, which makes the story ugly and twisted. Hence, this plot and theme became so disconcerting. The story is lifeless, trite, cliché, unrealistic, and a version or a form of a storyline that has been done in the past. Only exaggerated to an unbelievability level. Dunk as Style gave this series just the push it needed to keep my interest. Otherwise, I would have dropped this series.Was this review helpful to you?

love will destroy you
Yay, I'm finally done with this show. Fire headline. It was a good show with lots of plot and I was very excited about it and it was worth the hype and the wait. It gets a 9.041 from me, so 9 out of 10. Okay now into the review. Spoil time!Starting right off the bat, the first episode exceeded my high expectations. The intro was so fucking hype I love that song so much (along with me hurt me please because that's a banger too). They set up the show perfectly and it was genuinely such a good start, but it was a heavy case of impending doom. Just sitting like a waiting duck but that's okay. It was a bunch of tropes smashed into one, fake dating, hitmen, police offer x gangster, just everything, and usually, that's too much but they did that so freaking well with it. I am so obsessed with all of the dynamics and it was set up perfectly.
Still, couldn't get over the beautiful setup. The sauna scene was so freaking sexy and the dynamic between Fadel and style was HAWT AS FUCK. I think the camera work was amazing and all of the parallels were great and it really showed who our main characters were and what their goals were. Camera work, makeup, and costumes, they were all genuinely amazing and the characters felt so freaking real. Also, style was my favorite character and i loved him and his outfits so much, they were perfect for Dunks body type.
Everyone was looking for and fuck. I love it when characters actually have hobbies outside of love, it brings them to life so much more. Also peak the parallels between the eclipse because i love that show. Also the random bdsm thing with Bisonw was insane. It was so funny though. ALSO MAGIC MIKE REFERENCE HELLO. Fadel is one of my favorite characters joong has ever played, he is just being nonchalant and chill and it is so sexy. Style is also a huge instigator and a pacifist at the same time. Style getting set up from the start, he was so real and so funny. Hes like who the fuck is this guy.
Kant was the hardest character to read in this, im like what is he even thinking lmao. Fadel likes routines a lot and it gives him so much character. And style had so much unspoken rizz because their dynamic was absence makes the heart grow fonder and he became apart of fadels routine so fadel started to miss him. Also fadel was a fucking crash out, but i love him because he had a redemption but then it got smashed and then it got better. Dunks face card was so leath in this and he was a skinny legend.
Also completely irrelevant but joong looked like he gained a little weight AND OH MY GOD TEARS WERE RUNNING DOWN MY LEG EVERY TIME I SAW HIM SHIRTLESS FUCK. That sexy bitch. BARK ABRK BAKR. I am so sorry, he just looked so hot.
My photocards came which was nice. I was getting so into this i had to step back and remind myself that none of this was real and its not that serious. Whoever was on the soundtrack needs a fucking raise because they ate down every single scene with the music. "Crazy people dont need guns." I say that to freaking bison because bison was such a crash out. Like he only got away with it because hes small and cute. I had no idea the mother was bad until i looked at the iqyi comments bro. ".I guess she just collects orphaned kids that she made orphans to do her evil bidding. thats fucked." THE CHEMISTRY CAME THROUGH AND THIS, IT WAS SO MUCH BRODDIE.
My whole neighbor was on fire and i was watching this shit. "I know Captain is a bad guy but who daddy is that and why isn’t he mine? Who said that?" The backstabbing in this was hurting so bad oh god. Im like its not the deep its a show but it is that deep bro, it is.
Kant and Fadel are very similar in this weird twisted way. The whole episode was insane. The whole episode was a fever dreamed but i loved it. "So fucking excited. Some of the best costumes I have seen. OK, skinny legend!!! The crop top is eating as normal. Kant making references like his life isn’t on the line. Drugged him, kidnapped him, stole his car, you told him to jump in the water and he couldn't swim and he did it anyway, he's tired, he's hungry, you just splashed water on his face and he still looking at you like this." Kant was so fucking in love bro. ". Someone on iqyi asked the point of this random sequence with these gays in the middle of nowhere, its to show that fadel and style can make it through and one day even get married. Random way to do but it is funny as fuck and I am dying. This wedding scene is hilarious and also a good metaphor for relationships in general and forgiving people even when you cant bring yourself to do it because everyone makes mistakes. Of course i don't know the full backstory but i know that they are in love and i think that is really cute and they symbolize our main couples really well." And then the random bathtub scene lmao.
I also started making edits and i was editing them instead of watching the show. Style is so unserious but he was genuinely the best character and helped get through the show so much. "WHOEVER WAS ON SOUNDTRACK WAS IN THEIR FEELS BECAUSE WHAT THE HELL. ITS THE LESBIAN BOYFRIENDS FROM PERFECT 10 LINERS OH MY GODDDD. I feel like i am cheating on my shows right now because i see them in so many different ones. He just upright left. Made a villain with this ghosting. I DO NOT CONDOME WHATEVER THIS SHIP IS. GMMTV PUMPING SHIPS OUT OF THEIR ASS CRACK."
"Ngl i want joong and khao to do a show as a couple they look mad good together, not to be that person." OH !! Interesting idea chloe 6 days ago. I was starting to dog on the show but i still love it so much. "Friends we made along the way ass thing bro. The gang on me gang on 3 type shit, fadel is like wtf is happening." And they were still flirting and still had love instead of just worrying about furthering the plot which i loved.
"The milkway is INSANE." They spent their last days free so questionable bro, like go blow money, smoke weed and have sex dude.
"Scooby doo ah discovery." And then we are done. Great show and i would recommend it 100 percent. I hope they do more shows with these 4 in the future because it was amazing. Friends we made along the way ass ending, and i plan on rewatching this shit. Okay bye!

This Show is a Must Watch!!
I didn’t actually think that I would be so obsessed with this show, but I feel this is one of the best Thai BLs I’ve seen. I’m gonna be totally honest I wasn’t a huge fan of JoongDunk because I wasn’t a big fan of either of them and even though I watched there shows I still didn’t really like them, but this show made me love them. I felt each character was amazing and were funny in their own way. I will warn you that there may be spoilers so be aware.I actually loved this plot which was assassins in love with an average human being. I will first talk about Kant and Bisons love story. I am honestly a huge FirstKhaotung fan because I feel they have so much chemistry that they always do amazing in all of their shows. I fell in love with Bison in the first episode because he was so adorable, but then he would become an assassin and he would be tough and that’s what I like about Khaotung is that he can bring any character to life. Their story started with Kant who had a one night stand with Bison after meeting at the bowling alley and since Kant used to be a criminal he worked with a cop named Captain in order to not go to jail and so he can stay with his younger brother Babe. The person Kant was supposed to give to the police was his one night stand guy Bison and his brother Fadel. This made Kant fall crazy in love Bison and Bison was also crazy in love. Even though Fadel was a protective older brother and didn’t want Bison to date because they’re assassins and that normal people shouldn’t be brought into this. They still dated and Kant had to pretend he knew nothing about them being assassins and even ratted them out to the Captain who attacked Bison and Fadel while on a mission and that made Bison upset because he found out it was Kant and took his to his private island that his parents owned and basically kidnapped him. Then Kant said the truth about everything and they forgave each other and started dating again, but Bison wanted to finish his last mission with Fadel in trying to take down mother (Lily) and they did, but Fadel and Bison turned themselves in and went to prison for 5 years and even Kant started to work at the Prison so he can see Bison was actually adorable. Then Bison and Fadel got to leave prison, but Lily had kidnapped both Styles dad and Kant’s brother so Bison and Fadel made sure Lily would be gone forever. Then Kant and Bison had their happy ending of seeing the Northern Lights.
Style and Fadel had such an entertaining love story. It started with Kant begging Style to ask Fadel out so he can ask Bison out and Style agreed and started following him everyday so once he disappears Fadel would miss him and it worked. What I literally loved about Style interfering with Fadel was the scene where they both met at the therapy circle and Style talked about his dog or how someone (Fadel) had a one night stand with him and ditched him right after. Majority of their storyline involved Fadel wanting to get rid of Style or wanting to murder him. I liked the scene where they were kidnapped by the gay couple in the middle of nowhere and how they basically got them married, Fadel threatening them, and Style and Fadel having a steamy scene in the bathtub. I love whenever Bison called Fadel because it reminds me of Pharm calling Dean in Until We Meet Again. Overall, I really enjoyed this show and it’s definitely a must watch and this show will definitely make you cry, mad, and happy throughout the whole series. Plus JoongDunk and FirstKhaotung was a duo that I never knew we needed to see in a drama together.
