Utter nonsense and awkward couple
This show was a huge disappointment. The premise was amazing, I love action filled dramas and series in general and the thought of a show taking place in a thai boxing camp was super exciting.
Well ... it was for one episode because the execution was just horrible. The pacing of the show is quite shit. The main couple's makeout scenes are awkward as hell, stiff and not rly believable. Not every drama needs "spicy" scenes sometimes I'd be better to just not include them. Literally skipped through them because I found the so awkward and passion-less.
On top of that I simply can't stand Keen. He constantly plays the victim and cries while at the same time thirsting for a dude he doesn't even know - 1 day after the funeral of a family member. For the first 5 episodes it seems that he forgot that his father just died some weeks ago which was quite weird to watch.
In general the main couple becomes too close too soon. And that's coming from someone who loved how quickly things developed in love sea. The difference however being that in love sea it all starts with sex and feelings develop later on while in knock out they're just kinda instantly in love and making out at quite weird timings.
The dozens of boring "emotional" conversations that don't rly add anything to the plot don't make it any better.
It's a cycle of fighting - crying - awkwardly making out on repeat.
The story quickly becomes a hot mess including mafia-like structures that are comedically overdone
- dog that eats people
- mafia boss wants to "own" the main couple
- dad works 10 years for the mafia to protect the son but in the end it just takes a goddamn social media stream to completely expose all criminal activities (it took him 10 years srly?)
- instead of jailing the mafia dude as he would have deserved they just murder him in a very unspectacular manner
The only ray of hope was the side couple. They had amazing chemistry, great emotional and spicy scenes and their kisses actually looked believable.
I also really don't get the 18+ rating because nothing besides some boxing scenes happened.
Conclusion: This was pretty bad which is so disappointing considering how cool it could have been.
