Like was it ever explained why Jiwon left his career? To be honest I don't even remember what sport he played…
Jiwon was a national level gymnast. It was so clear since ep. 1. There was no need of explanation. I've only watched 3 episodes up until now and I knew this from the very 1st episode .
He probably suffered an injury while doing gymnastics and hurt himself badly in the ankle that's why he took complete retirement and started new as university student in photography department for his upcoming future bcz he's just 22 yrs. old.
But in ep. 3 his senior kept pestering him to perform (even after he took retirement from that industry) to keep his image and get royalties by using Jiwon's popularity. Forcefully against his wishes but out of kindness Jiwon performs for his senior. JeongU happened to know about this whole thing so he came looking out for him and protects him from his senior who was being abusive and trying to make Jiwon feel like everything that Jiwon has is bcz of him so he should be grateful towards his senior.
First three episodes were so awkward.. like why did the air felt so gloomy and stressful in b/w them. They started opening up a bit in ep. 3. (I'm on 4th episode right now)
Edit - I watched it. There is no way it ended like this. What about the second couple ? Will we get 2nd season for them ?!
I just read Wang Jyunhao was a trainee in YG and also participated in Treasure box. 😵😵 Boyyyy !! He must be hella talented. I never watched Treasure box but I know Treasure since their debut and I've been following their cbs since then. I like them. He probably couldn't make it in Treasure but being a trainee in YG is already very impressive on your resumé.
Thiss one lmaoo .. it's been years since i watched it but I've never said it .. up until so long after the starting this drama i couldn't realise Licheng and Muren were the main leads. 💀💀 It can like a shock to me.
This was so cute but one thing Han Tuo is crazy obsessed with Junxi. Like even if he sees him smiling and walking with a girl normally he gets so jealous right away.
Also I love Xiaoyang and Youmei .. so freaking cute. We needs friends like them. I thought we were getting them as a couple too. Junxi's parents and brother have my respect. They really love Junxi alot.
Glad there was no second lead over drama .. just simple realization and lovestory.
Tell me it's not fan service. It's real. I've only watched two episodes up until now and now for the rest of the show I'm always gonna be thinking that whatever they did was for real it's not just acting.
Helppp lmao .. not Tuo gaslighting Junxi into thinking what they did in ep 1. was what friends normally do. Boyyy you did not say that. That's friends with benefits. And the fact that Junxi all lighted up believing it. 😭🙏🏻
I wanted a BL with Action and Thrill and this is it.
Once i watched "THE HEART KILLERS" and it was a great disappointment in the name of Action, Thriller and plot. Just loads of NC scenes that at some point it became so disgusting (i was so sick of them doing it in every episode like what were they even selling in the name of a series) and trashy plot where everything happened in last 2 eps. (rushed). IT WAS THE MOST CRAPPY THAI-BL SERIES I EVER WATCHED.
This is so good compared to it. I want to put it in the same category as BAD BUDDY because it also doesn't have unnecessary loads of NC scenes to make it look more appealing and it also follows a storyline. Tbh, loads of NC scenes are always a turn off for me .. it always makes me want to puke. When they say "Less is always good" they are always correct. Excess of something will make you sick of it.
A suspenseful story to look forward to though it has some misses. I wanted Joke to be able to comprehend things more clearly his plans were always crappy. Joke's braincells never helped him into thinking of the consequences Jack and his grandma will have to take because of his actions. Jack is just too kind to neglect those things.
Btw, does anyone of you know what is the INSTRUMENTAL that plays in the last scene of FIRST EP. when Jack and Joke were getting taken away by Boss's men and Policemen respectively ?? I'm trying to find it so bad but i can just never find it. If anyone of you know please tell me.
Just finished it. I thought we were getting something between Tattoo and Aran too but anyways atleast we know there is some tension in b/w them. 😐
Tbh, I feel like Jack and Joker shouldn't have ended up together bc Joke always brought trouble for Jack .. people say he is good at stealing "THE LEGENDARY JOKER THIEF" but not even a single time he could succeed in his plan without getting caught. Helping Jack ?! More like making Jack's life more miserable. What did he even think when he handed the money to Jack in the bank ?! He almost ruined his life. Literally everytime whenever Joke came with a plan for freeing Jack I always said in my mind "STOP".
Love the action in this one though.
Also I don't understand why Aran befriended Joke and his team ?! Afterall, They were the ones who got him in trouble with his own father by stealing in his event. It's a different thing and they stole the necklace back for Aran again.
Ladies in this are fireeeeee .. The Grandma, Rosé, Miss Nang and the little girl Toi Ting .. she's so frkn brave for a child .. probably more sensible than JOKE. Felt a little bad for Rosé though she was betrayed and also got rejected in love. I FEEL LIKE JACK WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT COUPLE WITH ROSÉ.
I just finished Jack and Joker and it's a happy ending. I was planning to watch it bcz it says they married eachother in this one but I see the reviews for this are so bad. Is it not a happy ending ??
The things you said here is what I think about the latest Chinese BL "REVENGED LOVE". Very disorganized…
Just read your reply and then tell me if you make any sense ?!
First of all, if you think i'm telling you "TO WATCH ANOTHER PIECE OF MEDIA TO ENJOY THIS PIECE OF MEDIA" you have never understood what i'm trying to say and you didn't even try to. Nobody is telling you here to read/watch the original manga to enjoy this series. I'm just telling you how i've watched both the versions and how the actors have done a really great job in depicting their assigned roles.
This media does stand on its own. Otherwise most of us wouldn't be here appreciating their work. You have simply no knowledge of how an adaptation works. It is called an adaptation because it is following the original storyline.
You are not just trying to tell how you didn't like the plot you're even trying to convince and mislead everyone into thinking how the actors are so bad !! Try acting for one day you will start crying in frustration bc it's not your game and you wouldn't be able to do it. When I tell you that the actors are good i'm trying to tell everyone how they did a good job playing their roles and that was the need for their characters.
"OBSCURING HIS EYES" ?? "FLANDERIZATION" ?? Your review shouldn't be taken seriously by any newcomer who wants to watch this .. they're going to be highly misled.
Are you joking me ? Why is Jack always suffering and still he has the heart to be so kind towards the world ? I want patience like him. God please end his sufferings. 😭🙏🏻 How is Joker even a legendary thief when none of his plans seem to work ? There is always some misses when it comes to his plans for helping Jack somehow. (I've only watched 6 episodes up until now).
When are they going to update his profile ?? He's now a member of AlphaDrive1. He made it.
Y'all better support AD1.

Is that true ? If it is then I'm so happy for them.
