kinda disappointed but still worth it?
The idea behind the series is great. I’d actually been waiting for it ever since it was first announced, and after watching The Heart Killers, my expectations were really high. Maybe that’s exactly why it ended up disappointing me a bit — it just didn’t reach the level I was hoping for.
The plot itself is cool. I’m a big fan of thrillers, and the concept of including (pretty brutal) murders tied to a game is really interesting. That said, I don’t think it was developed as well as it could have been. At least for me, there were some loose ends, and that made it hard to stay fully invested in the story at times.
On top of that, I never really connected with the characters. Everything happens so fast that you don’t get the chance to empathize with any of them — except for Jay, who felt like the most important character to me, yet somehow didn’t get the spotlight he deserved in the end.
The relationship between Jade and Kamin starts off promising, but again, things move way too quickly. There’s no real slow burn or push-and-pull you can latch onto. And the thing I HATE the most: watching Dunk kiss with his eyes open ALL THE TIME. It’s impossible to feel butterflies when Joong is fully committed to the role and Dunk is just standing there like 👁️👄👁️ the entire time.
It’s not a bad series, but it’s definitely not the best JoongDunk one — especially when GMMTV has The Heart Killers, which is honestly one of their best shows.
But hey, this is just my personal opinion! I hope this review helps you understand my point of view 😊
