The teaser was not for a show nor series, but for a song and related MV; the song was released shortly after the teaser on GMMTV Records YT channel.

Enough of the miniscule guest roles and pointless support roles already! His "Cooking Crush" performance was real dynamite (pun intended) - the guy can actually act, unlike most GMMTV employees; give him a proper role! Let him shine in the spotlight, let him be a crazy lover, a scheming villain, an unhinged madman - I don't care, just let him act. Relegating him to unimportant roles with almost no screen time is criminal.

Not to my knowledge. He was Drake's date in "Wandee Goodday", but usually he appears a character that is or seems to be single. Nothing in the 2025 lineup indicated that it's going to change.

This doesn't sound much different than the Thai adaptation - main exception being that it's much shorter. As I recall you gave the Thai adaptation a rating of 7.0 and warned about pretty much the same content issues (in both cases steming from MAME's dreadful writing).

William's acting was remarkable; he dominated every scene he was in so effortlessly. And that interview scene... When he sat down, seemingly disinterested, and put both hands in his pockets - I could swear he'll take out a lighter, a pack of cigarettes and starts smoking! (what he did instead was far better) Whether he's playing a douche full of himself or a quiet, withdrawn singer, he's a fricking scene stealer. I'm hooked.

Voted and commented. The idea to curb early/premature reviews seems good, even if it won't solve all rating-related issues.
I did notice, however, that voting started more than 2,5 years ago - any idea how many votes are needed for it to succeed or (at least) for MDL to address it?

1/ No idea why so many people are upset about the rating. Is there something weird happening with it? Maybe. But whether it's low or high - it doesn't affect the show nor its quality (it's already produced, so it won't change, and it'll be aired in full regardless of the rating here or elsewhere). If you enjoy the show - why do you care that some people don't or about a number displayed on MDL?
2/ 6 days after ep. 1 aired there are 109 reviews, vast majority of which give the show a 10/10 rating. Those are reviews of the show, not of ep. 1. How can anyone review a 12 episode series having watched just 1 episode? You obviously can;t and a lot of the reviewers admits that: they state that they reviewed ep. 1 only. At the same time there are mere 15 reactions to ep. 1. Yes, MDL has a section were you can post your review of a specific episode; go to "Episode Guide", choose a specific episode and scroll down to the reactions part of the page.
3/ I wouldn't be surprised if the current rating was due to (among other things) how the algorithm reacts to this inflation of 10/10 reviews. If the algorithm is weighing the ratings (e.g. ratings given early don't weigh as much as given later or after the show aired in full), those could be getting the rating lower instead of pumping it up.

Not sure casting is the biggest problem here nor that I'd rate the show as low as you did (and just after ep. 1), but I wholeheartedly agree with you that the show's problems come from its director - who in this case is also the scriptwriter. I agree that a lot of things feel forced and off; I'm not convinced by choices made for most visuals (like the opening scene or Kant's and Bison's one-night-stand or virtually everything about the diner). I had similar problems with "Only Friends", Jojo's previous show were he was allowed to both direct and write. I even had a theory that Jojo - an openly gay director (bless him for that, the community needs more people out of the closet) - presents a very specific, sex-focused vision of the LGBTQ community, particularly of queer men. I'm not saying that he shouldn't be able to do that and there are obvious advantages to what he proposed in "Only Friends" and "The Heart Killers" in this regard. It does border on fantasy a lot, but - a bit surprisingly - it's also a much more realistic approach than the sanitized and desexualized presentation known from most BLs. My theory was that Jojo was allowed to go so far because GMMTV was afraid to lose part of its BL audience to the competition. With BLs like "Bed Friend" reaching for viewers who wanted more "mature" content (meaning more graphic intimacy between males) GMMTV wanted to stay in the race - so they charged Jojo with creating a response, their own "mature" show, were sex between men was openly discussed. "Wandee Goodday" was, to some extent, part of the same response. However, by doing so they (GMMTV and Jojo) overdid it, focusing on sex and related aesthetics while neglecting feelings or presenting them as less important for the characters. I really hope THK will balance those things. Sorry for the wall of text.

Judging by when previous episodes were released it'll be 23:00 / 11 PM. No idea why the countdown is gone, but I noticed that MDL considers J&J as a show that is no longer airing (as if all of it aired already) - I think these two things are connected.

If, as you say, the description is very inaccurate and “someone really needs to rewrite” it “because it is a false advertisement” – what are you waiting for? Do you see the “Edit this Page” link at the top of the page, right next to the title of the show? Hit it, choose “Primary Details” and you’ll be able to edit the synopsis. Choose “Genres” and you’ll be able to edit genres and tags. No point complaining in the comment section about something you can do just as easily as writing a comment.

I agree that in ep. 2 and later Jack blaming Joker and Joker feeling guilty is unreasonable - for a number of reasons: Jack would never get the bank loan to pay off Boss/open the school he dreamed about, Joker had nothing to do with Jack's debts nor Jack's deal with Boss, Joker went to prison for what he did - Jack was released etc. More than that: Jack seems to know this. He also knows Joker didn't rob him of anything except his ... hopes and dreams - and that's why he feels so strongly about Joke. It's unreasonable, but because both protagonists are so emotional, it's perfectly relatable. Joke lost his dreams too, it seems: he did want to prove himself - to his father/parents/family, to himself; he wanted to be a hero (broadly speaking), for which he's mocked by both his father and Jack. I assume that's why he's so bent on Jack forgiving him - that's his last chance for redemption, but also recognition. Obviously, this shapes their dynamic for the rest of the series and is a recurring motive.

Dunno how many Chinese users MDL has (if any), but they can start getting angry already - for MDL Taiwan and China are two separate countries.

I don't think so. Legally it's available on iQIYI only. Also, a 3 day embargo (since the release of an episode) was imposed, which affects YT reactors - and they can't show the full episode either.

Let's hope ep. 12 is 2 hrs long.

I you're having fun watching the show - see what SunsetOrange wrote above: ignore comments. Your opinion and you having fun are all that matters when it comes to you deciding whether to watch the remaining episodes or not.

Most people seem to enjoy the show (hence the current very high rating - which wasn't the case when ep. 1 aired). Those that don't are not hiding it - but the same can be said about those who praise "Jack&Joker". Give ep. 2-3 a try and see for yourself whether you keep enjoying it.

It'll be 14:00 for me.

I guess so. All the IG post (from @jackandjoker.official) says in this regard is:
