great
I really like the first episode this is what a real BL series looks like. the actors have so much chemistry on screen together and I love the way the storyline is going. just can't wait for the next episodes. I would definitely be watching this entire series. it's perfect. and the flash backs was great nice add to the storyline. the main characters are really interesting to me. the only thing I didn't care about was the bite on the neck scene that should have not been a part of the storyline. what was that scene for other than that it's a great seriesWas this review helpful to you?
Such a good BL and ABO series
Even though only the first episode is out, I already love it so much. I could rewatch it without getting tired. I'd say this is a good series if you like ABO/Omegaverse. I always loved ABO/Omegaverse and this just meets my expectations so well. The actors make it look really realistic and the setting for the scenes are really well chosen. Two main characters have strong chemistry which makes it even better. Theres nothing bad to say. I can't wait for the next episode to come out next week. 10/10 would reccommend.Was this review helpful to you?

It's good but..
There are little things i want to critique but besides that i loved it. I don't understand how Oats character seems to be the only one (so far at least) unaware about this whole omegaverse happening. Maybe there'll be a reason given at some point but right now i just can't make it make sense. Along with the fact that his secondary gender never affected him until he heard about it.. it was just one of those "wow what a coincidence" moments for me. The editing could also be a bit better. When Boats character and his brother are in the car while the others are fighting, it was a bit too obvious they played the same short fight clip when showing it through the car. Now, the subtitles. I need to have a word with whoever is in charge of them because the terrible translations really ruined the mood when watching. I would go from being intrigued to "wth does that mean." Hopefully they get fixed! Excited for the next episode.Was this review helpful to you?
Good 1st ep!
It’s a good start to the series. I like how the story is moving along so far for it being the first episode. I like how Phatsa’s friends are explaining how alpha/omega/beta works in this world. I’ve been waiting for this series to come out so I’m excited to see how the characters develop. I’m currently reading the novel so I’m curious to see if the series will be similar to the novel or if they are going to change things up a bit. I can’t wait for next Tuesday and the second episode airs, seems like the story is moving along quick!Was this review helpful to you?
An Epic Omegaverse Romance That Delivers
My most anticipated drama of 2026 has finally arrived, and it exceeded every expectation. As someone who absolutely loves the Chinese ABO Omegaverse genre and adored My Stubborn, this honestly feels like the best of both worlds coming together.The biggest highlight is seeing Boat and Oat reunited once again. They proved in My Stubborn how incredible their chemistry is, and somehow they have taken it to another level here. Oat is perfect as Phatsa, while Boat completely owns the role of Nakhun. He has the commanding aura, the cold, distant personality, and every quality you would expect from a True Alpha. This is finally the proper Thai Omegaverse BL series I have been waiting years to see.
Without revealing too much, the story follows Phatsa, who lives an ordinary life until a chance encounter with Nakhun, a powerful and emotionally guarded Alpha, changes everything. Suddenly drawn into a hidden world of Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, the two become bound by a fate neither of them expected. As their connection deepens, they must navigate trust, destiny, and the challenges that come with being fated mates.
M Flow Entertainment continues to prove why they are one of my favourite production companies. The production quality is excellent, the acting is fantastic, the fight choreography is surprisingly well done, and everyone looks stunning on screen. The soundtrack and background music fit every scene perfectly and make the emotional moments hit even harder.
What I love most is that this is not just another Omegaverse story. We finally have an Omega who can actually fight instead of constantly needing to be protected, which makes Phatsa such a refreshing protagonist. The Alpha, Beta, and Omega world building already feels immersive after only one episode, and I cannot wait to see how much deeper it becomes. I also love that the series explores the different roles within this universe instead of focusing only on the main couple.
One episode in and I am completely hooked. Thank goodness it airs on Tuesdays because I already know I am going to look forward to every single week over the next eleven weeks. I have a feeling this series is going to be an emotional roller coaster, and as Phatsa and Nakhun's bond continues to develop, the romance, passion, and intimate moments are only going to become even more intense.
If you love Omegaverse stories, fated mates, powerful Alpha and Omega dynamics, action, emotional romance, incredible chemistry, beautiful visuals, and M Flow Entertainment's signature intimate scenes, then Knot is absolutely a must watch.

All a bit wooden!!
First episode was just blah, too many dramatic pauses when nothing dramatic happening. Pale faced and super shiny actors. Hairstyles are ridiculous and the baggy clothes looked stolen from thier dad's. Actually just use marionettes, they just as wooden so far and can get a lovely shine with an electic polisher. Story has more holes in it than a mess screen. Gay for pay is unconvincing, why not use gay actors? Seen better production on a primary school play! At least kids put some effort in.I had high hopes for this drama but will see if it gets any better.
Thai drama has 2 sides now; sickly sweet ott childish garbage or soft porn with plots straight out of the 80's (soundtrack sounds like it too) next time will one be coming to fix his washing machine?
Please let Thai actors grow up and act in parts suitable for their age. (Don't get me started on the one hit wonders, BounPrem and BossNoeul pantomime shows. were they a joke? Or a bet?)
Actually I will give it a point for the pink milkshake reference.
Back I go to reading the books instead of having to watch this mess.
PLEASE GET BETTER, I WILL BEG!!!

Promising Omegaverse, Questionable Hair Choices
Going into KNOT, I was curious to see how the series would handle the Omega verse concept. Fortunately, Episode 1 strikes a reasonable balance. It introduces the Alpha, Beta, and Omega dynamics without turning the episode into a lengthy exposition dump. Even viewers who aren't familiar with the Omega verse should be able to follow the basic premise.But the main lead (Phatsa - Oat) was himself not aware of this omega verse and nor is he aware of his secondary gender, I mean 'say what!'. But Phatsa is not your usual meek omega and Oat gives one of the stronger performances among the cast so far.
The introduction scenes of both the leads were fire. Nakhun - Boat is undoubtedly handsome and carries that aura of Alpha even though a expressionless face is yet to coverup for him. The second brother Nakhin - Theme looks like he just walked out a bad hair day vampire setup. The youngest brother Naphitch - Jame is just being typical trouble maker. The obvious tension in the family is reflected in one scene which was a subtle hint to action ahead. The shocker is biting your fated omega on first sight as it is something as natural as love at first sight.
The scent of pheromones like Midnight distillery (Whiskey), Fleur Nocturne (Isabey Paris), No.3 Quiet Heat, Bare petals (Victoria's Secret Bare) seems suiting the characters
The chemistry we saw in 'My Stubborn' is yet to surface. The flashback to the one-night-stand scene already has the kind of impact that will likely dominate fan edits and discussions online.
As a seasoned BL series watcher I could say it would be hasty to judge the entire series by just one episode. The 'ABO Desire' on omega verse Chinese BL even though lit had many plot holes. The concept is in detailed explained in 'Alpha Predator' (manhua) author Shui Qian Cheng.
For now, I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm hoping the storytelling grows stronger as the series settles into its world.

Although I've never been a big fan of Omegaverse stories, Knot surprised me with its strong first episode. Rather than relying only on the genre's familiar concepts, it focuses on the unexpected meeting between Khunan and Phatsa, who know almost nothing about each other's worlds. Boat's elegant and mysterious presence fits the alpha role perfectly, while Oat brings plenty of energy to the action scenes. Their chemistry already feels promising, and I'm curious to see where this "bond" will lead. This might even become the Omegaverse series that changes my mind.Streaming: Currently available on iQIYI. (Not available in Japan at this time.)

Alphas, Omegas, Pheromones, Sensual Tension
Immediately I saw the title, Knot, I knew what this one would be about.Thai omegaverse BL show and the actors carried the story. ML and MC are great actors, always have good sensual chemistry together, so they’re definitely best for this role.
First episode was a good watch and the preview to the next looked promising too.
It’s a good story so far and I hope it keeps the momentum.
Watch it!

First impresion
IQIYI: https://www.iq.com/play/knot-episode-1-c3hbjhxtcg?lang=en_us?lang=en_usPretty good start, better than expected. I am really interested so far due to there being a miserable number of omegaverse series. I'd say that from what I've seen, they have done the best with portraying the omegaverse world in a BL series.
After all of the Run's slop series, I just really hope this one is his redemption arc.
Episode 1:
* I like the Boat's haircut in this series.
* The main character being 20+ and not knowing what secondary gender is while clearly living in an omegaverse world is a bit bizarre to me.
* Not the biggest fan of the special effects so far, but it's not too bad.
* I like that the main character has some "character" to him, because people often portray omegas somewhat childish, weak, etc.
* The text on the screen every time they introduce a new character made me laugh at first. I'm sure there is a better way to show information about them without making it this whole thing.
* I was getting confused at first due to the number of characters. Especially with most of them being introduced the first few minutes.
* The end of the first episode was too coincidental, in my opinion. Surely there are a hundred other ways they could've met for the first time.

First Impression: Knot
Overall: I'm intrigued. 12 episodes about 45 minutes each. Airing on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/knot-episode-1-c3hbjhxtcg?lang=en_us?lang=en_usContent Warnings: non con touching/attempted assault, fight scenes, murder off screen
What I Liked
- chemistry
- styling
- unique premise
- a character has fighting skills and is not just a damsel in distress
Room For Improvement
- world building dump and character info dumps (text on the screen)
- the end of episode 1 had nonsense/too coincidental (characters happened to be at the same place at the same time in what appears to be a large city), also how rare/secret is the secondary gender that a character has no knowledge of it???
- nervous about the pacing and number of characters
