Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! (Uncut Ver.)

Just watch it!

The uncut version really was uncut omg I loved this show no I love this show so much it has such a special place in my heart omg!!!! We saw raw, evert day, realistic love from Jack & Joke. I love that is was really and it showed normal people trying to make a better world for themselves that’s why it’s a 1000/1000 for me.

War and Yin such as great job playing these characters cause they are both incredible actors themselves wow and they are so talented and just humble people. The fact that they produced this show especially for their fans is beyond amazing they really love their fans.

Joke when he come out of jail his goal was to find Jack and apologize to him but when he found Jack he was not the kid he knew anymore. They had both grown over the years and we can see Joke trying to make amends with Jack but Jack is like nope it’s not going to be that easy for you and so he makes him work for him but you can see that Jack already forgave Joke along time ago. I loved how the relationship progressed and grew to something so beautiful. Now when this uncut scenes began wow we just the raw love real raw that was such a great moment. They really went all out for this show it was such a great way to end the year with a great show.

The love between Jack and Joke was so cute the build from hating each other to absolutely doing anything to protect each other is the best. It was just a good show wow. The side characters were also good we loved them Tattoo, Hoy, Arran, Rose, Save, Hope, Toi Ting and Grandma(the real Cupid of Jack and Joke). They did such a great job and each of them we lived them so much!!

Overall this is the best show of 2024, the fact they Yin and War produced this as a present to us their fans says a lot about them cause they wanted to thank us and it was evident in their acting and everything they gave us in the show it really was outstanding. Now I was hoping that we get a season 2 but it was announced that Jack and Joke coming back in February 2025!! Yay! So 1000/1000 for me for this show it’s a masterpiece everything the actors, the music, the characters, the OST, the story line, the production team. This is the kind of show you enjoy from first episode to last cause they gave us what we want and also unexpected this as well which made it even more spectacular.

Go watch Jack & Joke : U Steal My Heart! You won’t regret it!!

They stole my heart; why does it have to be them again?

This self-produced labour of work is a story of two possibly fated lovers: Jack, who righteously cares for those around him and does not choose the easy way out because he's seen how things can go from good to bad to worse when dishonest measures are used, and Joke, who intensely cares for the good and warm-hearted and would do anything to make sure his loved ones are free.

The show does a decent job of reflecting the issues faced by the working class, the depths to which one can sink when choosing illegal measures (eg, collecting debts from loan sharks or straight up robbery) and what the repercussions of such methods can be. It does not shy away from being honest, although sometimes, it could do with a little more grit and passion. There were times that I felt that the heist scenes could have been more...professional, or at least a little less leaning on luck. But in the end, it makes sense that the heists are the way it's shown since the characters involved are not people with abundant cash flow or connections and it helps to show how impulsive one can be when in a stressful situation.
So ultimately, it does not take away from the messaging and the romance.

Speaking of romance, since it's a slow burn, we can see Jack & Joke having these little moments of falling in love sprinkled throughout the show. Yin and War have done a fantastic job at speaking through their eyes with each other and their chemistry keeps you hooked.

The show is also a good reflection of flawed yet tight friendships. Hoy, Tattoo and Aran are funny, sweet and deserving of all the love in the world. Bonz and Prom have excellent comic timing and Mark is such a cutie, after a few episodes, I really wanted to keep him in my pocket.

A hero is only as good as the villain and honestly, the villains here will make you want to go across your screen and finish them. Boss and Carbon are so easy to hate and they must be applauded for it.

A special shoutout to Grandma, Toi Ting and Rose, these three girls stole hearts so easily. They were the consciousness of the show in a way and it made for a pleasant watch.

The music, cinematography and direction of the show are well done. I want to applaud the action scenes, they were so well executed and it kept the balance between pure action and comedy.
The writing shows the characters, especially J&J, being fairly opposites but still fitting together perfectly. If one is logical, the other is impulsive; but when they team up, they can do wonders. And why do they team up? Because at their cores, they both have an extreme sense of justice and want to make the world a better place for the people they love.

All in all, I'm proud of YWPB for venturing into producing something that would push the boundaries of romantic shows and doing it quite well.

So should you watch this show? YES, a thousand times yes. It is one that you won't regret.

(Same review posted in the regular ver of J&J page)

SAD THAT IT ENDED T~T

Why.... why did it have to end?? I wish I could continue to see there life together..... *sniff sniff*
I do have to say that some scenes were kind of goofy which was actually nice because it made the series less dramatic and intense.
The only fight scenes that were actually good in my opinion were the ones with War and Yin, the other ones were a little silly.
I loved the build up for the romance between Jack and Joker! The tension, the hidden feelings that were about to explode, the moments where they felt like it was just the two of them against the world? AHHHH, yes please!!!! They are just so hot together lol.
No matter what, Jack will always forgive Joker and Joker will always try to make it up to Jack. They fight for each other and they love each other very dearly. Where can I find that?? T~T
Also, can I get a different series where Prom and Mark get together??? I saw their small interaction in Love Mechanics and I think I saw a little something between them even though Mark was only on screen for 7 seconds lol.
Anyway.... LOVED Jack&Joker!! MASTERPIECE >~<

THIS DRAMA IS GOLDDDD

Guys if you haven't watched it yet... GO AND DO IT RIGHT NOWWWWWW!!!
the slowburn is slowburning but it's SO worth it. this bl literally changed me like nothing else and now i have an unhealthy obsession with yinwar (but i'm not complaining tho, they're so fire) 🔥🔥🔥
first of all the story is so so engrossing. not only is the romantic part AMAZING and dare i say - very fresh in the bl industry, but also the overall story brings your attention and makes you keep wanting more. i love joke's different images, the characters' character development - everything is perfect! of course some things could've been done better, but judging by the fact that they had only 12 episodes and the story was intense, i still think they did an excellent job. in my opinion it's something extremely fresh and exciting in the bl industry - not serving everything in the first ep. you need to wait for it and go through the tension building up between the main characters. i can say i totally fell in love with jack and joker and i haven't been so invested into a bl probably since i had watched kinnporsche.

Maybe It's Not For You, But It Was For Me

Jack & Joker is an extremely clever series. It criticizes real world situations by cranking them up to 2000 and extrapolating the situation in order to highlight how stupid and messed up it is.
Which, of course, might not land well with everyone, I get that. The way it does things might read to some as mockery and stupid humour and that's okay.
Nevertheless, I think the way it balances itself between humour and criticism; fun and sadness is the sort of delicate harmony you need in order to tell a story like this: about the common tragedy of everyday people suffering under the hands of the rich in late stage capitalism.
It's perfect in what it does. At least, to me.
You believe these characters and you like them even when you disagree with them and their actions because you understand them. You relate to them and empathise with their struggles.
And maybe it's not the most orthodox BL out there, for sure. And it's not a umami taste on everyone's tongues either. But I think that's exactly why it's so good: it does its own thing and it does it spectacularly well.

Got me in the first half but didn't live up to the hype.

Believe me when I say that I had been waiting for this one so bad! I am always up for Action/Romance BL genre. But this one literally had max action, min romance. The romance literally felt like side quests. Within all the 12 episodes, I bet if we had a cut for just the romance of the main couple it wouldn't be more than 30 minutes or even less.

Now about the plot, I had high expectations. I was hooked till ep 6, but then it started to deteoriate. All the heists just seemed more and more predictable. I had great expectations from the character Nang. Really thought she could be some kind of evil mastermind, but no. She suddenly turned good once she or her post was in danger like??? Also the whole plot about the ring seemed so forced kinda like something abrupt. The suspense was not giving. The twists in this plot were just not twist-ing. The plot seemed so dragged with the Rosé plot, the games, the thefts, etc.

Also, the dad just neglecting Joke and then ignoring his existence, but then suddenly becoming good didn't make much sense. He could have gotten Joke the necessary help he needed instead of blaming him for everything.

While the plot had many holes, there take on showing how the rich undermine the lives of the poor people and debtors to a game, playing with their lives and hard earned money was good, just the execution at the end was not upto the par. Had this drama been a little bit darker instead of comedy(barring the action) maybe I could have taken this more seriously.

The character Jack specifically got on my nerves. Bro was so gulliable and naive like seriously! Every truth is laid in front of him and he just ignores it. Bro didn't even stop to think that his Grandma fell ill after right after taking the medicine Boss gave them, like please use your braincells!!!!

War🙌🏻 hands down the best part of this series. He himself makes up all the 8 stars in acting. The way he captures all the freaking emotions so effortlessly. He got me hooked. His visuals are no joke and he somehow made even the goofiest of disguises look darn good. His acting is top notch and I hope he gets better scripts in the future. (Where War's character finally doesn't cry over Yin's character💀)

Can we talk about the Aran/Tattoo ship. They teased us so much and gave us almost nothing!!! Literally nothing! Also the chatacter Tattoo, they could have done more with him. I mean damn you have a scientist in your team, use him properly!

Overall, I was lowkey expecting something like the Manner of Death series, but really it was my fault for expecting too much. This drama was more action/comedy and maybe a little romance whenever they felt like it. Toi Ting and Grandma were the real mvp.

I went into Jack & Joker expecting a fun action BL, but I ended up getting so much more. It had the perfect mix of action, comedy, romance, and emotional moments, and I was hooked the whole way through.

The biggest standout for me was War. His acting was honestly on another level. Every emotional scene felt so real, and he conveyed so much without even saying a word. He completely disappeared into Joker's character, and I couldn't look away whenever he was on screen.

Yin and War's chemistry was exactly what I hoped for. They balanced the lighter moments with the heavier ones so naturally, and it made me root for them even more.

The special episode absolutely destroyed me. I genuinely wasn't prepared for Joker's death, and I just sat there staring at my screen wondering why they would do that to us. Then the post-credit scene happened... and seeing that he was actually alive made me lose my mind all over again. I went from heartbroken to relieved in the span of a few minutes.

The performances, the chemistry, and the emotional payoff made it such an unforgettable watch. And War? Yeah... he absolutely owned this role.

This Show Gave Me Whiplash

This was the first series I've watched with these actors so I viewed it without the bias of being a fan of any of them.

Things this show did well:
Casting - Everyone really brought their characters to life and did well with what they were given. The leads had great chemistry. Grandma's actress really tied the whole show together with her charm and acceptance. Toi Ting's actress was cute without being annoying. The actors playing the friends were quirky and interesting even if the characters they portrayed didn't have much growth. I do have to call out the surgeon with shaky hands, though.

Acting: There were really great performances. It wasn't always great across the board, but I'd say on the whole that it was acted well.

Settings, Costuming, and Makeup: I thought the settings and costuming really added to the show. Not just Joke's costumes but also the costumes for the other characters. I felt like each character really would wear what they wore in their various scenes. I also liked that the actors weren't caked in makeup and looked more natural, unless it made sense for the character to be wearing makeup. Jack's home was really inviting and warm and contrasted well with the more posh locations.

Heart: The time, energy, effort, and heart that went into making this show really does come through. It's obvious that everyone gave it their all to bring this story to life. This isn't a show with more simple production like one with a uni/school/office setting. It is ambitious with many complicated scenes.

Things that didn't work for me:
Logic/Reason - It pretty much doesn't exist. Why did this thing happen? How did that thing happen? Where did the resources come from for that thing? How does the timeline line up properly? Don't worry about it and just believe that it did. Joke got hired as a makeup artist for a wealthy client who then happily showed this stranger daddy's secret treasure room? Believe. Characters ended up relocated out of town with little time or resources to get them there? Totally happened. These guys had the resources to make cool stuff when it's established everyone is poor and in debt? Believe. The whole scene in the bank? Just trust. Joke totally just got lucky enough to find the camera that Tattoo threw on the ground without his knowledge while he was hiding in the cooler? Sure thing buddy. It continues through the entire series. Shows with elaborate schemes and heists are so much more enjoyable when they make somewhat logical sense.

Lack of editing - Ever read a really long fan fiction and start feeling like the author needs an editor to reign them in and tighten up the story? That's what this show began to feel like after a while. There were episodes that were movie length and could have definitely used some editing. The entire show is nearly 15 hours long and could have been trimmed to make it more concise and impactful. I'd start by trimming the fight scenes. There were way too many, they went on for too long, and they were so unrealistic you'd think the characters had super powers with the kinds of beatings they took and just kept going.

Identity - This show couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Comedy? Action? Heist show with a clever mastermind? Romance? Social commentary? Heartwarming family drama? It tried to be all the things, and as another reviewer said, all the tone shifts didn't work. Yes of course, shows can blend multiple genres together, but there wasn't good blending. There were some pretty brutal and dark scenes in this show that came without warning. The comedy was also not the kind of comedy I find funny.

Continuity - My brain gets hung up on continuity errors and won't let go, so the scene where Jack is cleaning the Joker Thief symbol off the garage wall really stuck with me. There were other places where continuity was lacking, but that one was the most egregious.

Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! — When Fate Refuses to Grant Mercy

I hated the ending. And yet, I cannot deny how powerful it is. This is not a story designed to comfort you. It is designed to break your expectations, and in doing so, force you to feel everything the characters feel: hope, fear, love, forgiveness, and finally loss. It is not a happy ending. But it is a true one.

A Story Written Under the Shadow of Death

From the very beginning, this drama warns us. The shrine. The rituals. The Chinese symbolism. The Four Horsemen. Death is everywhere in this story: not as a shock, but as a constant presence. Fate is not something you escape here. It is something you walk toward, step by step, with open eyes. We still hope. Just like they do. That is what makes the fall so painful.

Bad Choices Do Not End Well

Jack and Joker are not innocent. They live outside the law, driven by survival, loyalty, and regret. Stories often redeem such characters with miracle endings. This one refuses. The world they chose does not forgive them and neither does fate. This is not cruelty. It is consequence.

Why the Open Ending Hurts So Much

There is no promise of a second season. No reunion. No final explanation. We wait until the last second, hoping they will meet again. But “Be Happy” confirms what our hearts refuse to accept: he is truly gone. The silence after that moment is the real ending.

Why I Needed to Watch It Twice

The first time, I felt only pain. The second time, I saw the signs. Everything was already telling us how it would end. We just didn’t want to believe it.

Final Thought

I will never like open endings like this. But I will always respect stories brave enough to choose truth over comfort. Jack & Joker didn’t betray me. It prepared me. And I just wasn’t ready.
