watchingstuff

sadly I have already reached the stage where the pair of actors (even my mega faves) can’t keep me watching smth if it’s not interesting or not my thing anymore, but I was at your stage too so I get the feeling lol

oh nah, I for sure didn’t expect these two to be “darker”, but I also for sure didn’t expect J&J at times to behave like shy 5year-olds in kindergarten lol

imo plot is just not very exciting since you can predict everything and romance aspect is also very chill so far, but it’s ok they’re still cute

What I expected: hatred to passion, action-packed, unhinged and unserious.

What I get: chill, at times slice of life with 2 extra softies, who clearly do not belong and don’t want to be in any criminal world pinky-promising with each other while dreaming about teaching children. and way too much laughs 😂 okkeyy I’m adapting quickly

And it’s good that it’s not what I thought it would be, bc I was afraid they’re gonna collide with THK airing one after another (since that one is also promoted as romcom hate to love criminal one), but after reading full plot of THK, I’m glad we’re all good.

Jack’s grandma would be besties with grandma from the Rebound lol thanks for adopting and feeding homeless gay ex-criminals, whose rich parents don’t give a damn about them

I still think three couples is too much for one show, I can only hope they won’t add the 4th one

the boss is a very lameass predictable villain, I kinda hope that chick would take over as a main villain and will add more fun

Rose I’m guessing is just annoying but not really bad, I think she’s gonna ship Jack&Joker and might just genuinely want him to be happy, by the poster I assume she’s in our team

I’m sorry, don’t throw tomatoes at me, I’m still very much enjoying the show lol

Did you really create a new account and named it “sweet cat” when your first one is “beautiful cat” just to write the same thing twice?? Bc that’ll be hilarious 😂😂😂

We all can’t wait for your new account “brilliant cat” with another comment “jack and joker is much better. this script is weak like all gmm bls” tomorrow.

if everyone who “don’t have two expressions” is gonna be criticised, it’s indeed a great misfortune for all of us, it’s very hard to make only two specifically. I don’t think yinwar fit your standards 😂😂😂

Ofc you’re a FK fan, I should’ve known from the way you spoke. Life doesn’t teach ppl anything it seems. I wish you well, but also wish you stayed away from yinwar fandom tbh

If you don’t care about actor’s opinions why are you so far up their asses then? (it’s a rhetorical question, do not answer😂)

😂😂🤣 oh 100%, I’m enjoying both of these. if you like the shows who don’t take themselves seriously, you’ll have a great time with J&J too, it’s silly in a very charming way and the quality is good :) the chemistry also chemistrying from the start, so you don’t have to wait trillion years

I saw a lot of your comments already and I know that you have an unhealthy obsession and hate towards gmm actors. And by your icon and all of your other comments it’s pretty clear that you ARE in a fandom.

You ofc can say whatever you want, it’s a free space after all, but understand that Thai is not Hollywood, in Thai industry everything is holding on fandoms and you don’t want to become the one everyone avoids like a plague. We already have several like this, I would be devastated to see this happen to my faves. So please do not put Yinwar on a pedestal by degrading everyone else. You need to calm down a bit about them being the best of the best while all the others are trash. You can keep the first part only (even tho it’s also kinda cringe). But there are other ways to say that people are very talented.

I’m just saying, but you can do you ofc. Just realise that none of the actors would want such fans. It’s been said by many that they do not appreciate stuff like this.

You’re already yourself is bias and ignorant if you truly think J&J’s script is great. As much as I adore the show, the script is hella silly, so in that case you’re also blind lol

oh no, dude, please, don’t turn yinwar fandom into one of those, we love them too much for this to happen. you can praise someone without putting others down

also the script is pretty unserious in both so far, if we’re being honest, but pls let us enjoy both without your unnecessary wars

I don’t think you understand at all what am I talking about but okay. I’ll try to explain a bit. School genre can be dark or light depending on the series. Same with the criminal genre, it can also be dark or comedic or even a dark comedy. Just bc drama is situated in an office it’s doesn’t automatically mean it’s funny. And just because the drama is a detective doesn’t automatically mean that it has to be serious.

There are dark action movies and comedic action movies. All are valid. Calling something bland just bc it has comedic aspect is… interesting. Idk why for you added comedy means that the series itself already is not interesting. Even though it’s clearly smth new in BL. Dark series do not automatically means good series. In fact they can also be bland and boring, whether you want to believe it or not. Dark is not a synonym for “interesting”.

yeah it was a whole uproar in twitter back in the days, bc GMM put out an official statement about changing the title, bc ohmnanon fans didn’t believe it was a romance lol

It’s the full Thai name of the show “Kidnap: Secret contract for love” like “Jack & Joker: U steal my heart”

Jack & Joker 😂 people over there are also complaining that it’s not dark and realistic enough

this is not a school genre show, this is a very original show. I asked why it has to be dark realism and tragic, criminal comedy is not what we usually see in BLs

sorry, I don’t understand what it has to do with my question. this show is not any of these genres. I asked why it has to be dark? criminal comedy is not something that is seen in BL genre often. it’s not an office, college or high school one. it’s very original. but people complain that it’s not realistic and dark enough. why everything has to be realistic I asked.

I think it’s because there’s a difference between dark gritty SHOW and dark gritty MOMENTS. It’s like in Kidnap Q having panic attack bc his whole childhood of a being a cop’s kid and Min trying to pay his brother’s medical bills and almost dying bc of debtors is also dark, but the whole show’s vibe itself is not. And that’s tbh how I like it. I honestly don’t get why people want everything to be dark. In such shows it kinda loses the point to me personally.

From what I’ve seen people want it to be a “realistic representation of criminal world” which is just hilarious to me, bc 1st like.. WHY? lol you can watch documentaries for this if you want. The main purpose of most shows is entertainment, not education. And definitely you can’t expect a realistic criminal representation from a show called “U STEAL MY HEART”. Like yeah, it’s gonna be about them uniting, soothing each other, love prevails, evil is defeated. If you want a show about real life of Thailand poor society in all of its dark aspects, a real ex criminalist giving an interview about his past experience from prison and etc, it’s definitely not it. Idk why would you even expect it from this, nor the title nor the trailer nor the promotion implied that it’s gonna be this, that’s why I’m curious where is it even coming from.

I’m really trying not to troll people who genuinely thought that shows with titles “U Steal My Heart” & “Secret contract for Love” are gonna be documentaries about human trafficking and psychological thrillers portraying real criminal life, but it’s been hard 💀

I guess what I meant is that some comments catch off-guard bc to me it’s like as if someone sat down to watch Titanic and then complained why it’s not funny. I ofc exaggerating here a bit, but you get what I mean. It’s a bit different from “we all have different perceptions” type of thing, it’s more about common sense.

About actual preferences tho, yes, same, I’m not really into the shows who claim to be BL but then it’s Trainee kind of situation. This is definition of misleading imo. Like for example if we take two medical shows Triage and Grey’s Anatomy (season with side gay couple), they aren’t both BL. One is BL and other one is not BL, it’s just a tv show with queer characters in it.

MDL concept of adding the tag and then complaining that the tag you yourself added is not there is just weird to me tbh. Like I can right now add to this “supernatural” tag then someone would post a review like “1/10 bc I expected supernatural and it’s not”, this site is just odd in this aspect.

But MDL tags are added by viewers, no? It’s not official info, it’s people not getting the memo imo. With these two I haven’t seen any misleading in the concept, title and the trailers. I have a feeling that MDL is more misleading tbh.

Kidnap trailer made it look serious? I haven’t noticed this at all. I always thought it was melodramatic, even the title of the series is “contract for love”. I don’t see how from this people expect anything else. And the official MV OST is also pure romance. But maybe we all see things differently.

About mock trailer and real trailer being completely different, it happens a lot, nothing can be done, sometimes they can change the concept a LOT. So basing your expectations on mock trailer fully is indeed tough

I’m genuinely curious what’s up with so many people wanting so much dark realistic drama EVERYWHERE. I understand tastes are differ, but that’s just my personal curiosity talking, bc here and under Kidnap I keep seeing comments like this even though the series itself clearly didn’t have any intention to be the dark realism genre with trailer and everything surrounding it, starting with characters images. So why ask for that in a completely different genre?

I’m personally super delighted, it’s exactly what I thought it would be aka romcom with an action plot, it’s what I’ve been craving for a while now. Like actual romance with a plot, not plot with with romance sided in the back or things trying to be extra deep and depicted as if they’re explained to 1st graders, instead of focusing on entertainment and love story. Maybe it’s because I’m sharing the mindset of what Pond Naravit said “We here in Thailand do not like very dark and serious stuff”. But I’m really same in this aspect, maybe it’s bc of everything that happened in my life that I don’t want to see any of that on screen with the message “actually all is hopeless” lol

But my question is for real why ask this from shows that are clearly not it, I’m just wondering… I really hope it’s not gonna be same with The Heart Killers also (which is also clearly NOT gonna be serious). Idk I think that people need to realise that not all shows have to be realistic and serious, that would be a total snooze fest for many people if they were. There are plenty of those around, I do not get why ask for it in each one.

Even just from Joke’s tattoos you could’ve guessed that it ain’t gonna be “he’s a realistic criminal” sh*t, I mean let ppl have fun fr.

I just have a feeling that people mistakenly assume for some reason that if some “criminal” aspect is included it’s.. automatically serious (?). Is this the logic here? Bc if it is, then it’s absurd, you know, criminal romantic comedies genres are a huge hits since the beginning of times. I still to this day adore Miss Congeniality lmao
