The Wicked Game

No spoilers just reviewing the acting and story

The first episode was pure art and action. It was one of the best in a long time.

It literally contained all the needed backstory to further the story forward, the action and the tension as well. The acting could not have been better from all the cast, but the two main actors and especially the one playing Pheem is doing the role of a lifetime.

There are a few of postproduction errors but these are found after the first or second rewatch and honestly i think it is what makes it fun too, because they do not hinder the story (for example the plaster on the wrong side of the face).

Budget KinnPorsche

It's budget KinnPorsche, not entierly the same plot, but with many similarities just in a smaller not as well produced manner. At first a was having a real good time despite the no so great quality there was something quite entertaining about this series.

For a hero or in this case anti-hero to be truly admirable his opponents have to be grander and more powerful than they are and the villains in this story delivered every time, they're much more powerful, calculating, meticulous and ruthless which makes you want to root for Pheem. Although it's a revenge drama mostly action driven it's got some really good comedy moments thrown in. The fight choreography was pretty O.k, the gun fights on the other hand were bad to the point that I giggled every time a gun was fired.

I was having a good time I truly was until episode 7 I wad driven mad by rage and don't even want to know how it ends, I was rooting for that little maniac, making ecuses for him but he lost me, I cannot forgive him and I do not want Than to forgive him either so, I quit, I'm out . I loved Offroad in this villainous manly role and I would love to see him as THE Villain in something better or another anti-hero that I could actually root for.

I think might go rewatch Century of Love, the only series staring this two that's actually worth watching to see if it helps me forget this crap exists.

Amazing Show

I am super impressed by The Wicked Game The series. They really delivered what they promised. It is really a wicked game of anger, love, betrayal. How perfectly they depicted the story. Pheem's character is so realistic. He did not hold back. He was raised to get revenge. He can't just forget everything in one day because he is in love. His character development needed space, time and show gave just that. He started changing slowly and finally realized what really mattered to him. Every single character delivered perfectly. I am so in love with this series. I love grey characters. And Offroad as Pheem is just beyond perfection. I am blessed to see this series. Daouoffroad never disappoint. ♥️

Pheem! Pheeeeeem! Pheeeeeeem! KinnPorsche from Temu

Good potential - weak execution!!

This took a moment to watch... It actually didn´t start off that bad! Some compelling and intriguing story elements - but it turned very boring very quickly. Mostly due to the rather bland characters.

The first time we started to not take this series seriously was when other character started calling Pheems name like a pokemon. Like Pheem Pheem Pheem- hello???

The story kinda got stuck and ended up repeating itself - almost like they worte it with ChatGPT but the free premium ran out and it started to just repeat itself.

Chet was a kinda dissapointing character - but they didnt do anything with his storyline at all ? He was basically just screaming and throwing stuff everytime he had screentime, apart from his banger lines being his last words (when he was bleeing out and couldnt scream or throw something)

What pissed us off the most was the ONLY baseline for Than and Pheem being that goofy ahh playground scene -- IT WAS A ONE TIME EVENT STOP REFERENCING IT EVERY 20 MINUTES!! (not to mention that ugly fucking ring)

Speaking of rings - the pacing was wayyyy off like marrige??? We expected them to adopt a child in the final episode LMAO
The end was pretty rushed, they spent a lot of other sceentime on useless stuff BUT main story elements they speedrunned

Pheem kinda reminded us of a less evil Hua Yong without Omegaverse - he has those psychopathic tendencies.
Than on the other hand seemed okay - but not to mention he instantly forgot everything Pheem has done to him once he got laid LOL like he HATED him - they did the dirty - Than was sunshine and rainbows again HAHHAHA

Overall - a sadly boring watch with some laughs inbetween for us.

I honestly didn’t expect the last two episodes to make me cry, but they did. This series was a real rollercoaster of emotions.

Pheem & Than: After watching his mother get murdered, Pheem grew up hating the rest of his family and obsessing over revenge. His cold, calculating attitude is just armor to hide how vulnerable he really is. He’s manipulative and driven by vengeance, and while his choices are questionable, I couldn’t help but sympathize with his pain and even understand him at times. Meeting Than again reminds him that kindness, gentleness, and real love still exist. Than’s patience and moral integrity slowly help Pheem realize what truly matters in life. If Pheem is cold and calculating, Than is emotionally vulnerable and that’s what makes him so captivating. He trusts too easily, almost naively, but behind that soft smile is a man desperate for redemption, trying to rebuild the reputation he lost as a police officer, his lifelong dream. Both were betrayed by the same family, which makes their bond even stronger. Their relationship evolves from bodyguard and heir into something much deeper that changes both of their lives. And let’s be real, Daou and Offroad’s chemistry is undeniable, amazing, and easily the biggest pillar of the series.

Risa: She’s the character I loved to hate. I get her struggle to be seen and respected in a patriarchal world that values power above all else, but I couldn’t feel sympathy for her. She’s cruel, and behind that deceptively sweet facade, she’s hands down the most manipulative and ruthless of the siblings, pulling all the strings and playing them against each other. I can’t say I was sad about her ending. Huge kudos to Mo Monchanok though, she nailed it.

Chet & Park: If Risa was the one I loved to hate, Chet was the one I loved to love. I didn’t expect to sympathize with him so much. He’s definitely not a good person, but he’s not cruel either. He’s insecure, and behind his desperate obsession with becoming the heir, he’s really just a scared little boy craving love from his domineering mother and cold, indifferent father. Because of that insecurity, he’s the easiest to manipulate of the three siblings. Maybe he’s the only one who truly wanted a real family. And in a way, he found that with Park. Park’s selfless, generous love is the small beacon of clarity and comfort in Chet’s chaotic life. Despite all their flaws, they deserved a better ending.

short review: Tears, Twists, and Timeless Performances.

I would say this is one of the best dramas I’ve watched. Some people don’t enjoy this type of genre because it’s filled with manipulation, trauma, and heavy emotions that can feel overwhelming. But at the end of the day, it’s just a story written by the author, and the actors are simply following the script. What makes it so captivating is how well they perform—their chemistry feels natural, and every scene draws you in.

What I love most is the suspense. Each episode leaves you wondering what will happen next, making it impossible not to stop watching. The twists and turns are unpredictable, and the way the characters interact adds depth to the storyline. Even when the plot gets dark, the acting and direction make it worth following. It’s the kind of drama that keeps you thinking long after the episode ends, and that’s what makes it truly unforgettable.

I cried a lot, especially during the last episode. I thought it would end a certain way, but it turned out completely different, which made it even more emotional. The storyline is excellent, and every actor did an amazing job bringing their characters to life.

Not every bl needs a happy ending

its unfortunate that these two amazing actors had to act in such a badly written series. They dont want to see each other again, but they always do. They die, but they never actually die. Everyone hates everyone but they also dont. I dont even know anymore. This couldve been an amazing series, but unfortunately they went with too much drama. Its unrealistic and annoying to watch.
I love these actors and have loved every series they were in. Their acting is amazing and it also was amazing in these series. even though the story was bad they still managed to make me cry. I hope next time theyll get a better written story to act in.

Most toxic and logic less series

Honestly it's the first time I am writing any review the story is trash nd everything is just too Rushed never watched any BL that is so dissappointing the mls have a very toxic relation
Spoiler
The ml Manipulates other ml for his own benefits and even shoots him even after all that he forgives him that thing is so Trashy
The acting is good and music is very nice other than that everything is just trash the plots are to obvious and the sibling sibling fighting is all that the story revolves around in the ending to the ML pretends to be dead and doesn't even tell his boyfriend he comes back saying that he was too busy with the paperwork of changing his name the cops are also shown stupid in this series there is no involvement of cops in place of illegal things in the end I hope that the ml will go back to his job and clear his name but that is not even discussed this is the first ever series that I would recommend not to watch :))

There's no way everyone watched this with a straight face...

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR LAST EP SORRY..

First of all, the effects and editing were so bad. When they started to shoot down their little hideout, the effects of the shooting were FRYING ME. Was the hideout made of metal? How did it not go through? Another thing that pissed me off was just how, when people got shot, it didn't look realistic at all. The effects were sloppy, and the fake blood was, too.

The whole family thing with Pheem was fine i guess. The whole plot of the show was who was going to get the hospital, which kinda made NO SENSE. Did the whole family just want power over each other?? Evil villians I guess. Pheem's backstory is kinda sad. I mean, his mom did die, but how come he didn't die in the car crash? Unrealistic, like I said. The whole rivalry with his brother felt repetitive. His brother and his bodyguard had the potential to become a thing, but we didn't get anything. I was actually rooting for them. Pheem's sister, I feel, they wanted female representation to run too, but knew in the end, Pheem would end up on top? The whole family just pissed me off.

Pheem's character. In the beginning, we see him and feel bad for him, right? Pheem had a downfall as soon as he got control of the hospital, making him become a villain. He became obsessed with control and power; he seemed to forget how he was bullied by the power? To the point where you shoot your own lover..okay cause I was wondering..?

The romance acpect of it. The idea of Than just becoming his bodyguard randomly when they were lowkey enemies does not go over my brain. Yeah, Than saved him and shit, but cmon now. I bet he didn't even get paid. Then literally did so much for Pheem, to the point where he got shot like a thousand times, and didn't die? Same with Pheem..The whole lovey-dovey period was one episode long and ended as soon as Than found out Pheem was evil. AND THEN PHEEM SHOT HIM??? WHAT. Pheem acted like he did nothing and then PROCEEDED TO SHOW UP AT THE HOSPITAL AND BRING ORAGE JUIICE AND FLOWERS?! HE PROCEEDED TO CRY AND ACT LIKE HE WAS THE VICTIM. Than did not deserve his ass, but then it was so easy, and he forgave him in the end? I liked how he dropped him and left him. Period, as he should..BUT THEN OF COURSE HAD TO COME BACK BECAUSE PHEEM WAS IN TROUBLE. Also, the idea of them meeting as kids just didn't stick with me. How convenient they met. I guess it was cute for Than to protect Pheem when they were kids and called him "Thunderman" or whatever it was. Unnecessary, I'd like to say, but it was a fun idea.

The final episode. I will not try to spoil it, but let's just say I had to 2x speed that because it was so bad. Everyone was thinking Pheem died, and then he didn't? Unrealistic again. The whole family dying, and then Than and Pheem just living happily ever after? Sounds like they got tired and lazy at the end. What happened to the hospital? Did the police just say, oh they shot eachtoher lets pack it up. Did Than become a police officer after this? WHY DID HE FORGIVE PHEEM IN THE END? Holy pmo.

The first eps were the only good ones of the whole show. I don't recommend it, but I love the actors and the acting was okay, so?

A Dark, Twisted For Power

The Wicked Game is a stressful watch, but I was 100% seated for all the drama and chaos. The story flow does feel quite repetitive in the first half—the siblings keep fighting over who will become the successor and run the hospital, and it seems like the father always sides with whoever currently has the upper hand. Just when you think things have settled, the story flips again and the cycle repeats. But honestly, it never bored me.

This series is heavy, filled with lies, deceit, betrayal, manipulation, greed, revenge—basically everything dark. As much as I hated Pheem’s character, I genuinely enjoyed the show. His character was clearly written that way, and he’s also heavily shaped by childhood trauma. This is one of those dramas where a main character is both the protagonist and the antagonist. If that kind of character isn’t your cup of tea, you might want to stay away from this series.

Pheem

A cunning, heartless, and greedy person shaped by insecurity and childhood trauma.

Than

An ex-police officer who meets Pheem by accident, later becoming his bodyguard and getting dragged into the family’s chaos. He’s righteous, honest, and easygoing.

Chet

Pheem’s half-brother and rival in almost everything. He’s also cunning, greedy, and a fentanyl addict. Like Pheem, he clearly needed love and care too.

Risa

The sister of Pheem and Chet. Although she appears quiet and innocent, I knew from the start she was the most dangerous among them. Whoever has the upper hand between her brothers, she can easily manipulate to climb her way to the highest position in the hospital. She constantly switches sides depending on who benefits her the most.

The plot twists—both early and late in the series—are somewhat predictable, but the way the story unfolds keeps viewers wondering how all the conflicts will be resolved, especially since everyone wants power and there’s so much happening. It keeps you engaged. It feels like it’s either someone has to die or someone has to compromise. There are a few plot holes, but I honestly didn’t mind.

If you rated this low because of Pheem or the other villains, that might not be entirely fair. The series has a heavy, dark theme with multiple antagonists, and that won’t suit everyone. If that’s not your style, it’s better to stop early instead of judging the show for something that’s part of its core tone. And to be fair, Pheem does get some character growth in the end.
