Episode 3 of Knock Out made my Friday night so much better after a long, stressful workweek đŒâ€ïžâđ„.. 67 minutes flew by and I was glued to every second. Highlights? Oh, so many...
I just watched episode 1 and really enjoyed it, even though it was only around 15 minutes long. The cast is stunning, the music is well chosen, the cinematography is beautiful, and the acting is impressive. Chinese BL really hits differently â thereâs a maturity and subtlety to the production, and I appreciate the absence of the overly cringey sound effects often found in other BL dramas.
Itâs a shame that BL remains restricted in China. If it were fully legalized, the genre could become an explosive market, especially considering past successes like Addicted and The Untamed, both of which generated massive viewership and significant revenue. I truly hope that one day, China embraces the potential of this genre.
Not every drama, especially BL, needs sex or constant action to be good. If thatâs all youâre looking for,…
I respect your view on wanting more realistic gay stories, but I disagree that this BL drama is boring or without value. Many fans appreciate its emotional depth and character development, even if itâs not strictly realistic.
Itâs okay if this style isnât for you, but others can still enjoy it. Letâs agree to disagree and leave it at that.
Not every drama, especially BL, needs sex or constant action to be good. If thatâs all youâre looking for,…
I completely agree with you. The chemistry between the main leads is genuinely strong, and their emotional connection comes through clearly on screen â especially in those well-executed, heartfelt moments like the kissing scenes. Itâs clear that both the actors and the production team put a lot of effort into creating something meaningful, and it shows.
Itâs disheartening to see overly negative comments that disregard the hard work of not only the cast but the entire crew behind the scenes. Constructive criticism is one thing, but unnecessary harshness adds nothing of value. This series is not for everyone, but basic respect should still apply.
Personally, Iâve been enjoying the plot and the way the story unfolds. Itâs refreshing to see a BL drama that focuses not just on physical attraction, but also on character depth and relationship development.
Thank you for highlighting the positive â itâs always good to see appreciation where itâs deserved.
BORING!!!! geez where are the sex or action, its tons of bs talkâŠ..
Not every drama, especially BL, needs sex or constant action to be good. If thatâs all youâre looking for, maybe watch porn â this is storytelling, not fanservice.
BL is about more than physical attraction. Itâs about the emotional journey, the chemistry, the slow burn, and the character growth. Calling it âboringâ just because it has actual dialogue and development shows youâre missing the whole point.
Some of the best BLs â like Cherry Magic, Old Fashion Cupcake, or Bad Buddy â thrive without graphic scenes. If thatâs âtons of bs talkâ to you, maybe this genre isnât for you.
While I havenât read the novel, my prediction for episode 12 is that Mark might turn Tong into a vampire to save him. After the transformation, they could team up to defeat Thara.
This could lead to a passionate culmination of their relationship, with the two of them embracing their immortality and living happily ever after.
Just a personal theory, but Iâm excited to see how it unfolds.
I really love this show, but episode 11 felt kind of off.
Mark and Nakan suddenly seemed so weakâearlier they could instantly kill other vampires, but now theyâre getting attacked and hurt so easily?
Also, the part where Thara tells Tong the truth, and then Mark pretends not to believe Tong for a few minutesâwhat was the point of that? It didnât really make sense.
Then at the end, Tong gives himself up to Thara, but in the episode 12 preview, Mark and Nakan are going to rescue him? Why would they do that?
And Nakan killed Tongâs best friend, but now theyâre on the same side? The plot in these last few episodes has felt really messy.
Please donât rely solely on MDL ratings đ. Iâve watched over 300+ shows listed on kisskh, and not all series rated in the 8s or 9s are necessarily great. Surprisingly, many shows rated in the 6s or 7s turn out to be hidden gems đ. This particular one definitely deserved a much higher rating than just a 7
I binged all 12 episodes in just a few days â watched the 1hr uncut version (highly recommend over the Viki cut)! đ Donât let the 7.0 rating fool you â this was intense, emotional, and SO addicting. One of the craziest enemies-to-lovers stories Iâve ever watched. đ„ Enemies? Lovers? Obsession? Pain? Itâs all here. And itâs BRUTAL.
I watched Unforgotten Night and Love Syndrome: The Beginning too, but honestly, watch them in reverse release order for the best experience.
Day (Long) & Itt (Frank) have đ„đ„ chemistry. Both tall, gorgeous, and such strong actors â they MADE this series. Their emotional journey? A rollercoaster.
Yeah, itâs toxic â but if it werenât, it would be boring. This series shows real sacrifice, obsession, and love. Itt gave everything. If thatâs not love, I donât know what is.
i was thinking this too đ now that theyâve done missionary i was wondering if theyâd pull out the more…
Theyâve already done the car scene in Ep 1 and it was chefâs kiss đźâđš But now I need MORE. Iâm talking:
â” A Bed Friend-style boat moment with wind-blown hair and lingering stares? YES. đ Or a steamy KinnPorsche balcony pool scene where clothes mysteriously disappear? SIGN ME UP.
This is Thailandâthereâs always an office party trip. Let them hit that beach resort. Let Sorn get jealous and accidentally confess after two mojitos đčđč And let the shirts fly OFF, respectfully
Someone blocked me today cuz I said that its not incest if they r not blood related. I mean thats literally the…
I get where you're coming fromâby the dictionary, incest is only about blood relations, so technically it doesnât apply to non-blood-related characters, like in the Step Brothers genre or troupe, or the Taiwan/China BL dramas Iâve watched (like Addicted, Unknown, History 4, The Only One, Uncle Unknown). But some people might use the term more loosely or get uncomfortable with the idea of close relationships, even if itâs not technically incest. Honestly, it seems like the person who blocked you probably just had a strong reaction to the topic, even if that wasnât your point. Everyone has their own take on whatâs âokayâ in media, especially when itâs something a bit controversial
Wow đł First time Iâve seen a BL series dropping NC scenes every single episode đ„ At this rate, they might run out of positions by episode 12 đđïž
Canât wait to see how creative they get in the next 7 episodes⊠letâs just say, this show isnât holding back
Iâm so excited to see the twins from HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (2019) back again! I always hoped En and Te would get their own stories, but I never expected a Thai-Taiwanese crossover â and now theyâre paired with Tontoe, which is such a fun twist!
Funny enough, I just watched the first episode of Season of Love in Shimane today, and Tontoe was hilarious. Iâm really looking forward to seeing him in this new series.
Itâs such an interesting pairing, and I hope the crossover works out well. I do have a couple of questions though: đ Will they speak in English? Or will it be a mix of Thai and Taiwanese? đ And will both twins fall for Tontoe? Are we getting a love triangle?
Even if you worked from artartica, across Africa and then all the way to America, or from the south pole all the…
Strong feelings donât automatically make something objectively wrongâcontext matters.
Letâs get the facts straight before throwing around heavy accusations like âbullyingâ and âenabling.â
First of all, Sorn apologized to Jun not once, but twiceâimmediately after the prank on the stairs, and again in person later. He even went out of his way to visit Jun at home and brought food as a peace offering. Thatâs not the behavior of someone whoâs being malicious. And more importantly, Jun accepted the apology. That alone speaks volumes and should matter in any fair conversation.
Not only did Sorn apologize, he also took full responsibility by going to the supervisor himself and explaining the situationâputting the blame squarely on his own shoulders. As the supervisor later told Jun: âSorn told me yesterdayâs meeting wasnât your fault. He said he did it on purpose to mess with you. Iâm sorry for scolding you yesterday.â Jun even admitted, âAnd I was kinda at fault too, barging in like that.â
Now, letâs address the word âbullying,â because itâs being thrown around way too loosely. Bullying is not a one-off prank. Itâs a repeated, targeted pattern of harmful behavior intended to belittle or intimidate someone. What happened here doesnât even come close. Was the prank awkward? Sure. Poorly timed? Maybe. But malicious? Harmful? Repetitive? No.
Calling this âbullyingâ not only stretches the meaning of the word, it also diminishes the serious reality of actual workplace abuseâwhere victims face ongoing harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or manipulation. If everything uncomfortable is labeled âtoxic,â we lose the ability to distinguish real abuse from minor conflicts or misjudged moments.
Also, letâs be crystal clear: nowhere in my original comment did I condone bullying. I said this specific prank was harmlessâand I still stand by that. Itâs entirely possible to find something cringey or uncomfortable without immediately labeling it abusive or toxic.
If your takeaway from my comment was âdonât be a crybaby,â then youâre reading into something that wasnât said. That interpretation is yours, not mine. What I did say was based on years of real-world experienceânot idealized internet takes. Recognizing the difference between actual abuse and a one-time bad joke isnât âenabling.â Itâs having perspective.
Bottom line: disagreeing with public outrage doesnât make someone complicit. It means theyâre thinking critically and refusing to jump on the bandwagon just because itâs loud.
Calling me an âenablerâ because I donât join the outrage bandwagon doesnât make your point strongerâit just makes the conversation less productive.
đ That jail handcuff scene? Unexpectedly intimate. I was sure they'd hold hands to ease the pain... but no. Tease us more, why donât you?
đŽ Keen nuzzling into Thunâs bare chest like it was his favorite pillow? I felt that in my soul â and maybe lower.
đ„” Self-defense training scene â the positioning, the eye contact, the way Thun pinned Keen down? That wasnât just a lesson â that was foreplay in disguise. My mind is still in the gutter and itâs not coming back up.
đ Their first kiss in the boxing ring was everything â intense, passionate, and one of the best I've seen. No more clichĂ© rooftop kisses â this was raw and real.
đââïž And letâs talk about that âextra serviceâ massage from the second couple â excuse me?? That body slide had no business being that erotic.
đïž NC preview for next week? Only a few seconds, but damn, it was hot. Now we have to wait 7 whole days? Pure torture. đ©

P and the two twins are back Pan and Plai.
You are correct, two new cast - Tontoe and PJ.
