Classic GMMTV fumble
Agree with others typical GMMTV fumble it couldve been so promising. The summary rlly intrigued me but alas it was very predictable.Did I finish the whole series? Yes. Did i enjoy it? Eh. I found myself skipping through for Dews scenes. His acting was peak. Tee was good I think he could really improve. Not sure if it was the role he was playing but I found Offs acting very painful to watch, I can’t recall him being this bad in other series ive seen him in.
Bromance shit lowkey pissed me off but ill let it slide since DewTees chemistry single handedly saved the series. On the brightside they would kill it in a BL lmaoo.

Dark, Disturbing and Surprisingly Thought-Provoking
I had been eagerly anticipating Mr. Kill ever since its teaser was released during GMMTV 2026: Magic Vibes Maximized. The premise immediately intrigued me, and I was especially excited to see Dew Jisu take on another role after Faceless Love. After watching the entire series, I can confidently say that this was one of GMMTV’s most interesting and ambitious productions.The story centers on Kaye, a famous manga artist whose dark underground manga Nekros was written under the name “Mr. Kill.” When a series of real murders begins recreating the murders depicted in his manga, Kaye suddenly finds himself under suspicion. Police officer Phat is assigned to investigate and is forced to work with Kaye because nobody understands Nekros better than its creator. From there, the mystery becomes much more complicated as their investigation exposes painful connections to the past and raises questions about whether what they are witnessing is justice, revenge or something far more sinister.
The screenplay by Thitipong Chaisati does a great job balancing the murder mystery, Kaye’s psychological backstory and the developing partnership between Kaye and Phat. Directed by Sakon Tiacharoen, who also directed Leap Day, the series maintains a dark and tense atmosphere while gradually expanding its themes beyond the central mystery.
What I particularly appreciated was how much the series had to say about vigilante justice, morality, corruption, power and the failure of the justice system. It explores what happens when people are failed by the very institutions supposed to protect them, especially those who are poor or powerless. It kept making me question whether taking justice into your own hands automatically makes you as bad as the people you are punishing. If a criminal escapes because the system is corrupt or ineffective, can we really blame someone for wanting to make that person pay?
That dilemma reminded me of Death Note, particularly the question of whether killing criminals can ever be considered justice. Is Thun truly evil if the people he targets are criminals who escaped punishment? Is Kaye weak because he could only express those violent ideas through his manga? Or is there a difference between imagining revenge and actually carrying it out? The series doesn't make these questions easy to answer, which is one of its biggest strengths.
Dew Jisu was excellent as Kaye. He brought so much depth and emotional subtlety to the character, and there were moments when I could understand exactly what Kaye was feeling just by looking at him. Episode 7 was especially impressive. The scene where Kaye talks to his reflection genuinely made me wonder whether he really was the killer. Dew was an excellent fit for this role, and yes, somehow he is still ridiculously handsome even when crying.
Tee Teeradech also did an amazing job as Phat. This being his first main role in a series makes his performance even more impressive. He brought the necessary intensity and seriousness to Phat, while also working extremely well opposite Dew. Their partnership was one of my favourite aspects of the series.
Off Jumpol was another standout. He has always had a talent for portraying those irritating characters you love to hate, so watching him take on a genuine villain felt like a natural progression. Thun's double life as a news anchor and serial killer made the character even more disturbing.
Mr. Kill is not an easy watch. It is dark, emotionally heavy and sometimes genuinely stressful. Around Episode 7, I had to pause the series because I needed to get myself into the right headspace and, honestly, the proper state of grace before continuing. The gruesome imagery also makes this unsuitable for viewers who are particularly sensitive to violence. And if you are coming into this expecting a bromance, don't. This is very much a crime thriller first.
One scene that really stayed with me was Kaye burning Commissioner Chaiwat. It was almost poetic in its brutality and felt like fitting retribution for the role Chaiwat played in the demise of Kaye's father.
I did have a few reservations about the final episode. The one-year time jump confused me because I wasn't entirely sure what it was supposed to signify. If the intention was to show healing and recovery, I am not sure that reopening the relationship with a joke about a lighter was the strongest choice. I also would have liked to see the Uncle actually facing the consequences of his actions in prison. More importantly, I wish the series had shown some form of counselling or support for Phat, Praew and the other people whose lives were devastated by these events. Would that have been completely realistic? Probably not. But I would still have appreciated a little hope.
Despite those criticisms, I really enjoyed the series. The ending itself wasn't particularly surprising, but there was enough misdirection throughout the story to keep me guessing and make me want to wait an entire week for the next episode. The performances were excellent across the board, and Sakon Tiacharoen deserves credit for drawing so much from the cast throughout the series.
Mr. Kill was a dark, emotional and unsettling rollercoaster that asked uncomfortable questions about justice, morality, revenge and the world we live in. It wasn't perfect, particularly in the finale, but it was compelling, well acted and remarkably thoughtful. For me, it is easily one of GMMTV's best series to date.

No Twists, Just Turns
A series with a very good and intriguing base for both the mystery and its characters, but ultimately with a lot of room for improvement in the writing department. While developing the plot, they tried to establish the partnership of Dew and Tee in a way that often felt forced, when that wasn't actually needed for the story. Their dynamic could have also been developed naturally through small, subtle moments alongside the story, while leaving more room to flesh out better the details of the mystery itself.The acting was genuinely the part I enjoyed the most. The entire cast did a very good job portraying their characters, showcasing their acting range. Dew and Tee specifically, as a duo, had very nice acting chemistry and complemented each other, which makes me look forward to seeing them in their next project as well.
Overall, I would recommend the series to people who enjoy mysteries. The show will surely keep you interested until the end, but it does not raise the stakes beyond what you would expect from a standard mystery. It had the potential to be great, but ends up feeling a bit predictable and lacks the wow factor you usually expect from the genre.

Absolute watch thriller
I honestly believed that I would stop watching this drama after 2-3 episodes, but the storyline had me hooked enough to watch each new episode every Tuesday patiently. I really like thriller dramas like these where real topics and themes are also highlighted and I believe personally that they did a good job on encroaching upon the fact that monsters are not born and that they are made. People usually see the world in black or white but this drama helps you see the grey too.The characters(male leads) acting was something I was looking forward too and I was not disappointed by the phenomenal acting delivered by Dew and Tee, though was hoping to see more of their bromance and I know that if the show had more episodes then we would certainly have gotten the ending we deserved and not the quick one.
The scenes were a bit gruesome but it is not half of what actually goes on the real world so it was a bit interesting to watch how each case would go and though the killer was a bit predictable the drama still kept you on tenterhooks and that was what I mainly liked about it.
I would recommend this drama 100% to anyone who asks and would certainly rewatch this again sometime

Bl or bromance??
My most awaited DewTee series! I honestly don't care if this is just "bromance" as long as they are in the same series as the main leads. LOL.The story is actually good. I'm just not sure if this is something new story-wise, but for me, it's something I encountered for the first time. A police officer teams up with a manga artist to hunt down a mysterious killer who references the manga in the way he kills his victims. The issue they tackled is also quite controversial, and yes, it really makes you question how we define justice when the justice system in this world is, well... crap.
The chemistry between the two mains is really there, and I think we all know they definitely pass the BL vibe and not just the bromance vibe. LOL. Supporting actors like Off, Singha, Neo, and the others also did a great job. I honestly didn't see any cringe moments throughout the series.
As for the plot twist, it was VERY predictable who the mastermind was. Honestly, it was so obvious that I started giving it the benefit of the doubt and thought, "Maybe it's actually not them." So when they revealed that my obvious prediction was indeed the plot twist, I was kinda like... meh. 😂
Still, it's an interesting series and definitely not a waste of time. I enjoyed watching it, especially the dynamic between the two leads.
And shoutout to those stray cats who look healthier than my cat. HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry. 😭😂

excellent story, excellent acting and excellent song theme
I just finished watching episode 2 of the series *Mr. Kill*. My advice after seeing both episodes is: don't jump to conclusions. The story is compelling, and the actors—Dew and Tee—did a fantastic job portraying their characters; I’m really proud of them. I especially appreciate the way Tee conveys emotion through his facial expressions and tone of voice. The same goes for Dew; his portrayal of Kaye—particularly when showing his sadness—makes me want to give him a hug. On top of that, the choice of songs for the OST and the ending sequence is spot-on. waiting for true color in music platform.Was this review helpful to you?
Beyond the Crime: Pain, Trauma & Justice
This series is proving to be so much more than just a crime thriller. What makes it so powerful is the way it explores pain, suffering, past trauma, responsibility, and the uncertainty of what comes next. Kay and Phat are not only trying to uncover the truth behind the murders, they are also carrying the emotional weight of everything they have been through. Their past trauma continues to affect their choices, their trust, and the way they see the people around them.I also love how the story gives a voice to innocent people who have been failed or silenced by a corrupt system. The deeper they go, the more it feels like justice is not simply about finding a culprit. It is about facing a system where powerful people can hide the truth and where the innocent are left to suffer. That constant uncertainty makes every episode more intense because you never really know who to trust or what painful truth might come out next.
And the acting makes all of this even more impactful. Dew’s portrayal of Kay’s pain, vulnerability, suspicion, and inner conflict is phenomenal, while Tee brings so much emotional depth to Phat. Their chemistry feels natural, and the way they show complicated emotions through their expressions and silent looks is one of the strongest parts of the series. You can feel the pain, doubt, fear, and slowly developing trust without everything having to be said out loud.
The dark atmosphere, intense crime scenes, psychological tension, and the contrast between the manga panels and the live-action scenes make the series feel unique and eerie. The pacing is also getting more intense with every episode, and I love how it keeps giving us more questions instead of easy answers. A beautifully written story with powerful performances. This is becoming a truly unforgettable psychological crime drama.

This show hyped everything up and delivered way more than I expected. It’s a genuinely smart series that forces both the characters and the audience into tough moral dilemmas that go way beyond just trying to figure out whodunit. It throws heavy questions your way where the answers aren’t just black and white. Given how many real-life stories there are where justice fails to catch and punish the guilty, one of the most compelling themes is: if someone suffers a massive injustice, does that give them the right to take matters into their own hands? On top of that, can someone be held guilty or morally responsible for the actions of their dad or a family member? Does a fictional work that inspires someone to commit a crime make its creator morally responsible? These are just a few of the questions the show raises as it forces us to pick apart the conflict between justice, revenge, and the baggage of family history.Dew, Tee, Off, Neo, Singha... such a heavyweight cast with incredible performances. Dew and Tee have easily become one of my favorite duos, and I’m already looking forward to their next projects together. Saying Off is an amazing actor is stating the obvious. He’s just so versatile and always delivers. Singha is really turning heads with her performances, too. But I seriously need to talk about Dew and Singha.
Dew... what a performance! Absolutely flawless. He built such a multi-layered character that keeps you second-guessing his every move. The moments where he lets that dark side slip through,the inner darkness that drove him to write Nekros, were just next-level. The way his facial expressions shift? Wow. At certain points, his acting had me wondering if Kaye really was the killer, but since he wasn’t, it kind of answers one of the show’s biggest moral dilemmas: you’re responsible for your own choices.
Singha... her character Praew drove me crazy the entire series. So many times, I just wanted to shake some sense into her! But honestly, her acting was spot-on because she never gave away her true intentions for a second. Definitely a young actress to keep an eye on.
Anyway, I could easily write way more about this show, but for me, rather than just finding out who the actual killer is, the real takeaway is figuring out what to do with the truth once it’s out and breaking the cycle of violence. At the end of the day, you’re responsible for your own choices, not the sins of the people who came before you.
Super, super recommend!
PS: Neo is an actor who definitely deserves more leading roles and honestly, he desperately deserves a happy ending. I’m getting traumatized at this point watching him die in every single series! #HappyEndingForNeo

A freaking MASTERPIECE
Genuinely one of the best GMMTV series ever made. The story was really interesting - sometimes it even made me stressed lmao. Their acting was incredible. Dew played Kaye wonderfully, he was a perfect fit for this role, I could see Kaye's emotions just from looking at him. Tee has done an amazing work as well, I'm really proud of him since it's his first main role in a series, his acting was very good and he was also a fantastic fit for Phat. But back to the plot and everything - it really made me want to wait the whole week for another episode. Everytime I watched it I felt like I want more and more, and slowly I started loving KayePhat with my whole heart. (They are canon to me 🚬) Now, after the last episode, I lowkey feel empty. EP 10 was literally CRAZY, but it made me realize that this isn't just a series to me - it feels like home now. But there are some things I can't understand, how did Kaye escape that room in the last episode without Phat noticing? Also, I think that Phat definitely would search for him - he wouldn't think Kaye died in that fire because there were no traces of him and it would simply not make sense since he's a police inspector. Kaye was important to him and he wouldn't just let things be like "Kaye disappeared, that's all, I'll never see him again." he's a very ambitious person and he would try to find out where Kaye is and is he safe. There are several things left that weren't explained in the series and I would love if there was an explanation, but overall the plot was amazing and I enjoyed it a lot. I really recommend it to everyone 🙏🏻Was this review helpful to you?

That little feeling I had from the very beginning… 👀The tiny voice in my head whispering, “Something is NOT right here.”
And then the final episode happened…
ME: I FUCKING KNEW IT. 😭🔪👀
My suspicion wasn’t a suspicion. It was a damn prophecy. 😂

Truly incredible
First before anything else I want to give a huge shoutout to Dew for not only starring in this, but for doing all the artwork for it as well! It was all so incredibly cool!!Kaye: I loved Kaye so much! I loved that we didn't know if he was good or evil or what he was thinking for a good majority of the show. Even the last couple episodes made you question if he could possibly be involved or not in the killings. He was giving Light Yagami in so many moments and as a Light girly, I was eating that up. Dew did such an incredible job with this role! His best and my favorite yet. He gets better in every show, and this was on another level. That scene in the bathroom with the mirror proved how good of an actor he is.
Phat: He was such a good guy, and I loved what he stood for, especially with him being a cop. Him throwing all that out the window when it came to protecting Kaye was so interesting too. I liked seeing his relationship with Nop and his sister as too, especially with his sister getting closer and closer to Thun as it went on. Tee did such a good job as well. This is the first thing I've seen him in, and I thought he was great!
The relationship between these two was everything to me. I need them to kiss right now. The chemistry between Dew and Tee really sold their relationship as well. It was insanely good, especially for their first series together. I loved seeing them closer as the series went on. They
were very obviously in love with each other by the end. I know it isn't a romance, but we all know it's true. Their reunion with the big hug at the end was so cute and if we can't get a kiss, that's the next best option. They were so happy to see each other again. Don't get me started on the scene with the cigarette lighting...it was so hot.
Thun: I didn't trust him from the second he showed up but I still loved his character. I wasn't shocked that he was the killer, but they did a great job at making you think it could be anyone in the show. I also just love Off so I'm always happy to see him.
Praew: I liked her for the most part as well. I loved that she wasn't afraid to stand up for what she believed in, even if that meant putting herself in dangerous situations. I loved her relationship with all the boys and Prim too.
Prim: She wasn't super important in the show, but I thought she was a sweetie
Nop: I can't lie I didn't trust him most of the show. The episode I finally decided to trust him was the episode where he died unfortunately. He was actually a really good guy, and it sucks he had to die. I loved seeing his relationship with Phat a lot.
The lighting, directing, camera work, editing, and acting was all so incredible in this show. I think they really pulled off the references to death note and the themes of it really well. I loved hearing how different characters felt about the killings since they all felt so differently about it.
I just loved this show from start to finish and don't have a single bad thing to say about it. I'm going to miss it so badly and will definitely be watching again in the future. I highly recommend!
