I loved that Ramil isn’t your typical vampire. He stands out with this almost innocent vulnerability, steering away from the usual dark and brooding vibe. That gave the supernatural angle a refreshing twist. Punn was the perfect match for Prem, and my sweethearts Boun and Prem delivered their usual captivating performances.
Overall, the cast did a solid job. Mark and Aun really stood out, and Dunk as Feratu was such a pleasant surprise. I’d love to see him play a villain someday. I adore Barcode, but I wasn’t feeling him as Ciar. If you’ve seen him in KP and DFF, you know he’s capable of so much more. Honestly, that was the biggest issue for me, the direction just couldn’t strike the right balance between romance and the supernatural.
What truly shined for me were the relationships. That dinner scene with vampires and humans sitting together like one big family? That was exactly what Ramil and Punn were searching for. It’s sincere and heartfelt, totally hits you right in the feels. I’m always here for that.

It was truly beautiful to watch Mark start to discover feelings and emotions he’d never experienced before and see Tong grow and realize he was stronger than he ever imagined.
Joss and Gawin were such a pleasant surprise. Their chemistry is absolutely spot on. They feel so natural together that makes it effortless to believe in Mark and Tong’s relationship. Every scene flows smoothly, never feeling staged or awkward. Plus, both of them exude an insane amount of sensuality, and they mastered non-verbal communication like no one else.
The supporting cast was incredible, but I have to give special praise to Um Apasiri Nitibhon for her portrayal of K’Thara. She brought the perfect villain to life. And lastly, this series has one of the most stunning OSTs I’ve ever heard. It had me hooked from the start with its romantic opening theme, perfectly delivered by Gawin Caskey. But honestly, every song is beautiful, which is rare.

"A guy has wants and needs, you know?"
The Heart Killers é, sem dúvida, uma joia. A história é intrigante e bem elaborada, com uma mistura perfeita de romance, drama e mistério. A escolha do elenco foi impecável porque não consigo imaginar outros atores interpretando Kant, Bison, Fadel e Style. Suas performances foram excepcionais, entregando uma mistura única de vulnerabilidade e charme, equilibrando momentos românticos mais leves com cenas mais intensas e dramáticas. A interação entre os quatro atores é excelente, e FirstKhao e JoongDunk têm uma química inegável juntos. Os quatro atores entregaram performances cheias de nuances que trouxeram profundidade aos seus personagens ao incorporar emoções tão complexas. Com um visual impressionante e uma OST maravilhosa, a série merece uma conferida!Was this review helpful to you?

I’ll admit, I started watching this series just to support Boun, Emi, and Fresh, actors I really admire and I ended up being blown away by a true rollercoaster that dives into themes like revenge, bullying, friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. Honestly, it’s one of the best shows I’ve watched this year. The story is well-written, the characters are complex and fully developed, and the series kept up the pace and tension right until the very last episode.There were so many moments when Tulip really got on my nerves and made me question what kind of friend she actually was. Wawwa wasn’t perfect, but she was someone Tulip claimed to know, like, and trust. And then she just tosses Wawwa aside for someone she barely knows!!
But the ones who truly steal the show are Baikhaw and her mother, played by Pat Chayanit and Fresh Arisara. Their performances were absolutely outstanding. I really wish Tulip’s parents had been held accountable for all the harm they caused. They got off way too easily. The ending hints at a possible sequel, but honestly, I’m satisfied with how it wrapped up.
As for the OST, I’ll never be able to hear “Hush, Little Baby” the same way again. The distorted sound, the childlike voice, and the dark arrangement created such an unsettling atmosphere, perfectly foreshadowing the emotional conflicts in the story and reminding us that not everything is safe or trustworthy.
If you’re into a good psychological thriller, I recommend this series.

Abordando temas como amizade, lealdade, as pressões acadêmicas e sociais típicas da vida escolar, a descoberta e aceitação da própria identidade, assim como os desafios e as emoções envolvidas nos relacionamentos românticos, a série conseguiu capturar a essência das emoções e dramas adolescentes, enquanto acompanhamos o crescimento pessoal dos personagens, que aprendem lições valiosas sobre responsabilidade, maturidade e autoaceitação, destacando a importância de aceitar e respeitar as diferenças, seja de orientação sexual ou personalidade. A mensagem no final não poderia ser mais verdadeira. A série conseguiu equilibrar leveza e profundidade, conquistando um lugar especial no meu coração, tornando-se uma das minhas séries de conforto. Super recomendo!

Já estou morrendo de saudades da série. Entregou tudo!! O último episódio foi perfeito, com reviravoltas inesperadas. Somente Tattoo para conseguir levar um tiro no bumbum deitado e Sorry ganhou um novo significado para mim 55555. Só tenho a agradecer a YinWar por acreditarem e investirem na série, que me fez amar e aguardar ansiosamente pelas segundas-feiras!!! A história é cativante e te prende desde o primeiro episódio porque soube dosar na medida certa comédia, ação, drama e romance. A produção é impecável. A química entre Yin e War é inegável. Todo o elenco teve uma atuação irrepreensível, mas quero destacar Suporn Sangkaphibal, a avó do Jack, uma das responsáveis por todas as minhas risadas e pelas cenas mais inesperadas e a pequena grande Taengkwa Chananticha Chaipa, Toi Ting, que deu um show de interpretação. Já estou aguardando pelo menos mais duas sequências: a história de Tattoo e Aran e a história de Hope e Save!!!! Was this review helpful to you?
One of its greatest charms lies in the way it leans into misunderstandings and emotional miscommunication. They fuel the drama in a compelling way. The characters are beautifully flawed. While the series doesn’t dive deeply into psychological introspection, you can still see meaningful emotional growth as the episodes unfold.
But what truly elevates the experience is the cast. I absolutely love Pooh and Pavel. The chemistry between the main and supporting couples is intense. Their performances feel honest and effortless. With just a glance or gesture, they convey every emotion with raw sincerity.
Honestly? Alan & Jeff, Chris/Way/Pete, Kim & Kenta, North & Sonic deserve their own spin-offs. Even a three-episode arc dedicated to each couple would be incredible.
Willy was a fascinating villain, and Milk proved once again that he’s a brilliant actor. He already shined in War of Y. And Level Up? Hands down, one of my favorite tracks. It perfectly captures the competitive, emotional, and transformative spirit of the characters.

The film follows the rise of Tee Yai, a legendary Thai outlaw played by Apo Nattawin, a bold thief who pulls off daring heists and escapes that feel almost mythical and his childhood friend Rerk, played by Wisarut Himaratana. Tee and Rerk grew up together and built a bond for life, swearing to protect one another and they stick to it till the very end.
The cast is solid, and their performances really stick with you. Apo once again proves his versatility and why I see him as one of Thailand’s finest actors. With his commanding presence, he delivers a gripping performance as Tee Yai, capturing both the character’s charm and brutal edge. Wisarut Himaratana, playing the loyal friend, brings a grounded, thoughtful energy to the duo. One of the film’s standout elements is the chemistry between Apo and Wisarut, their silent glances speak volumes, and they genuinely feel like lifelong friends on screen.
Also worth mentioning is Kao Supassara as Dao, one of the few women with real presence in this gritty, male-dominated world. Her role is subtle but powerful, adding emotional depth to the story.
Despite being nearly two hours long, the film flies by thanks to strong direction that skillfully balances action and drama. With striking cinematography, meticulous attention to detail, and electrifying action scenes, it’s a visually rich and culturally layered film that’s absolutely worth watching.

As for the cast, most of the actors seem to be just starting out, but you can tell they really gave it their all while bringing their characters to life. The ending was sad, but it made sense given the historical context.
I think the story might have worked better with fewer characters and subplots, but overall it was a decent effort. My rating is more of a nudge to encourage them to keep improving.

If I could give it more than a 10, I would.
It’s never been so easy to rate a show a perfect 10 from the first episode to the last. I’ll admit I started watching because of Pond and Gun. Unlike some, I’ve always thought Pond was an exceptional actor. He really becomes his characters and brings something genuine and heartfelt to every role. This series proved that once again. His portrayal of Day was flawless, showing an incredible range of emotions with such authenticity.Gun, on the other hand, is already a well-established talent. 😍 His performance as Ozone, a child with special needs, was absolutely phenomenal. He nailed the subtleties of the character with remarkable precision and care. Dew and Pahn also completely won me over with their performances.
The series had me hooked from start to finish as I tried to piece together the mysteries behind the Leap Day curse. I smiled, laughed, cried, felt tenderness and anger. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. The writing is smart and nuanced, the characters are rich, complex and really well developed. And the direction is both sensitive and skillful. It beautifully explores themes of family, friendship, and the sacrifices we’re willing to make for the people we love most.
Huge congrats to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece. No doubt about it: this is one of the best series of the year, and I’ll be rewatching it more than once. Highly, highly recommend!

“I'm a prince who doesn't want a princess, I'm a prince who wants a prince of his own instead.” This series felt like a breath of fresh air on a sunny summer day. It’s lighthearted and fun, yet it balances tender, vulnerable moments with serious themes, touching on class, identity, and personal choices. The amnesia storyline was surprisingly well done and really helped the characters grow.
Winny and Satang have been two of my favorites since We Are, and their chemistry is undeniable. I love their playful push-and-pull dynamic. I’m so glad they finally got their first lead roles, because they have so much to offer, especially Winny, who lets his characters’ emotions shine through in his facial expressions with a strikingly sincere and natural authenticity.
Mond (Pheng) and Ryu (Dr. Wut) were such a pleasant surprise. They’re absolutely adorable together, and their storyline added real depth by exploring acceptance of one’s sexuality and confronting homophobia. Seeing them married, adopting a child, and building a family was easily one of the highlights of the show. Neo and Mint were delightful too.
The cinematography is simply gorgeous. Overall, this is a feel-good series about love and acceptance, and it’s definitely one I’ll be rewatching.

The story is intense, with heavy scenes that are hard to digest. Jingu was the character who moved me the most. Beneath his confident exterior, there’s a quiet vulnerability that only starts to show when Yuho enters the picture. To me, he’s the most emotionally fragile of the three teens. The pain both Yuho and Jingu carry is so raw and well portrayed that I just wanted to shield them from the world’s cruelty.
I get that Rina also has her emotional scars, but I couldn’t feel any sympathy for her, her actions really got under my skin.
The biggest flaw of the series is that none of the storylines get enough time to fully develop, and the ending felt a bit unsatisfying, even though the message was beautiful. Still, compared to other series, it delivered a lot.

The problem with this series isn’t that the script is weak, it’s that it’s fundamentally misguided. I can deal with a weak script if the core idea is solid but just poorly developed. But deciding to base the plot around an alleged rape and treating that as a good narrative choice? Sorry, but that was a huge misstep. Dragging out the false rape storyline for two whole episodes was wrong, and the way the topic was handled, so carelessly and without depth, made it even worse. It was a string of bad decisions that should never have made it past the writing room.I don’t blame the actors, though. They did the best they could with what they were given. Overall, I actually enjoyed the performances of the six main actors and thought the chemistry between the couples was strong. Arm came off a bit stiff at first, but he grew into the role nicely. Tum and Klah definitely deserved more screen time. The jealous female characters felt unnecessary. I look forward to seeing this cast again in future series, but with a better script.

Hands down, my favorite series of 2025. It’s a masterpiece. 1. Duan Ziang – a killer with a heart that still dares to dream.
Forged in the shadows as an assassin, Duan Ziang is the blade that cuts through fate, a storm held back, that walks like a shadow among men. He carries the weight of a life without choices, where killing was survival and loyalty wasn’t earned, it was forced. But in his chest beats a heart that still dares to dream."My heaven and earth, from the very beginning has only ever been you." Everything he did wasn’t for glory or ambition, but for Shu He. “I don't care about the kingdom, I just want one person.” In his boundless love, he wanted to protect Shu He in every way possible, which ended up creating an irreparable rift. His decision to kill the crown prince to protect Shu He is the culmination of this duality: an act of love that shattered the very love he was trying to save. He killed to protect, but in saving Shu He, he lost what he wanted most. When he returns as emperor, he seeks not glory, but redemption. His power is armor against the vulnerability that Shu He awakens.
2. Xiao Shu He – The prince who was never meant to rule.
As the sixth in line to the throne, he grew up free from the weight of inheriting it, able to chase his artistic and humanitarian passions. Sensitive and idealistic, he was supposed to be the prince who will not rule, but fate had other plans. Thanks to Xiao Shu Qian’s greed, he was forced onto the throne and burdened with a role he never wanted. When he reunites with Duan Ziang, he’s torn between the man he loves and the empire he’s now sworn to protect. Deep down, Xiao Shue He can't overcome the resentment caused by his brother's brutal death, nor the fact that he was an incompetent ruler for his people, cause his heart was never in politics.
Their love isn’t soft or sweet, it’s fierce. It’s built on loss, sacrifice, and silences that scream louder than words. Both of them are trapped in a world that punishes vulnerability. Their love defied kingdoms, but it couldn’t outrun the consequences.
3. Xiao Shu Qian - The invisible hand shaping the fate of the main characters.
He’s the character that keeps the game in motion, even when he’s not on screen. Xiao Shu Qian isn’t just driven by ambition. He’s the invisible hand shaping the fate of the main characters. A quiet strategist, he knows that real power doesn’t come from brute force, but from bending circumstances to his will. He’s the one who pushes love and loyalty to their breaking points. For him, love is just another currency in the power game. He is unmoved, and it’s that lack of empathy that makes him truly cruel. He doesn’t destroy for pleasure, but out of necessity. And somehow, that makes him even more terrifying. While Duan Ziang and Shu He fight to carve out their own path against the tide of fate, Shu Qian stands for a world that doesn’t bow to love, a world that demands sacrifice and punishes those who dare to dream.
4. Acting — Eyes that speak.
Huge, huge kudos to the entire cast for bringing this masterpiece to life. I’ll be keeping an eye out for all their future projects, but I have to highlight Zhang Zhe Xu as Duan Zi Ang and Min Ji as Xiao Shu He, their performances were absolutely breathtaking.
Zhang Zhe Xu delivers a performance marked by restrained intensity. He doesn’t need dramatic outbursts, his eyes do all the talking. There are scenes where he doesn’t say a single word, yet you feel everything: the buried love, the regret, the longing for redemption. In the final scene, his gaze reveals flashes of clarity, as if he’s reading between the lines and sensing exactly what Shu He is about to do. His acting is powerful in every way: subtle, raw, and unforgettable.
Min Ji plays Shu He with devastating softness. He’s the prince who never wanted to rule, but was pushed onto the throne by forces beyond his control. There’s a quiet melancholy that runs through his entire performance, and that’s exactly what makes it so moving. The tension between duty and desire is the soul of his portrayal and Min Ji captures it with heartbreaking precision.
The chemistry between them is undeniable and intense. It goes beyond the script and turns every scene into visual poetry. This is the kind of show where eye contact tells its own story. Every glance between them is loaded with love, longing, pain, promise, and redemption. The words they don’t say hit harder than any dialogue, and every touch is charged with desire and sexual tension.
5. The peach tree
I got curious about its role in the series, so I did a little digging. In Chinese culture, it symbolizes immortality and unity, almost like a bridge between the earthly and the spiritual. Throughout the story, it becomes a place of refuge, the only space where Duan Ziang and Shu He can truly be vulnerable, away from the masks they wear as royals. It feels like a silent guardian, quietly witnessing their love. Every falling leaf is a memory. Every fruit left unpicked, a broken promise. Its deep roots reflect the shared past between them, even when fate cruelly pulls them apart. It stands for the resilience of a love that never died , even after years of separation. And more than that, it’s a symbol of longevity and immortality. Because even if their love never fully bloomed, like flowers that never open, it’s still eternal. A love that transcended time.
6. The ending
From the very start, I knew this was a story about doomed lovers. And even though I cried an ocean of tears, that bittersweet ending felt just right. For a brief moment, Duan Ziang and Shu He tasted earthly happiness, but they were never meant to be happy together in this world, not with all the guilt and pain they carried. In the end, they both got what they longed for most. Shu He finally makes peace with Xiao Shu Qian, who asks for forgiveness for shaping his fate. And Duan Ziang gets to live the quiet life he always dreamed of with Shu He by his side, far away from all the power games and political chaos. And yes, they did get their happily ever after.
This is one of those shows that’s going to stay with me for a long time.
