Knock Out (2025)

!!!!

Realmente no esperaba mucho de esta serie, pero me sorprendió totalmente, de principio a fin, todas las relaciones, incluso la secundaria tuvieron su momento de brillar. Cada personaje totalmente bien construido.

El amor de Thun y Keen realmente es tan bello y puro, que nace desde un momento vulnerable para ambos dónde aprenden a crecer y al estar uno al lado del otro, una mirada tan natural a pesar de todo el entorno, la muerte del padre de Keen, la pelea de Thun con Thyphon, cada paso hacia que ambos se entendieran y siguieran.

Todo el lore de Phawin como el villano, que era realmente un hijo de p* y ese final tan satisfactorio, el debía de pagar por sus actos pero si seguía con vida podía usar sus contactos para salir de ahí.
Al final Pakorn ayudó remediando el error que cometió al abandonarlos.

Tan bellos ★v★ sin dudas es una excelente série.

solid couple dynamics (uncut version)

Overall: I loved the communication and chemistry between the leads in the beginning but there was some nonsense writing. This is based on the book with the same title that I haven't read and I reviewed the series based on its own merits. 12 episodes about an hour each. Aired uncut on WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/play/u23sfk7obd6z87j/k4101c5i4r4-EP01%3A_Knock_Out and the first 2 episodes are on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0xfFEdKNq0

What I Liked
- chemistry/tension
- communication (falls apart later though)
- set up the characters and plot well
- that Keen was not a damsel in distress, he actively tried to solve his problems
- excellent massages
- symbolism with the handcuffs
- caring moments
- intimacy, the check in in episode 5
- finale wrapped things up pretty well
- production value

Room For Improvement
- a ton of nonsense/because the writer said so stuff like a character wouldn't sell his car but was okay possibly dying if he didn't sell his car, a diuretic wouldn't work like that (maybe it was a translation mistake), a journalist just went into an active crime scene and what was the end goal because anything collected likely can't be used in court, why didn't a character say anything to another character earlier in episode 8 or apologize right away, there weren't any security cameras on the premises after they've had problems, the dad staying behind etc.
- too many antagonists, I get that it was supposed to be a bit twisty but watching all at once would have been easier, there were a ton of characters and it was difficult to keep track of all the baddies
- started the series with a flash forward but about 18 minutes later that scene happened, which doesn't annoy me as much
- episode 3 talking about her weight
- the slap in episode 5
- love rival/jealousy
