THIS AIN’T A SERIES, THIS IS A FULL COURSE MEAL ?
YALLLLLL 😭 FUHHHHHHHH OKAYYYYYYY GAH DAMNNNNNNNN!!! I tried to act calm when I started this but SIKE— I KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO REACT. THIS SERIES IS GOOOOOOOOODDDDD. And not just good-good. I’m talking BUSINESS. GOOD. Like everything??? Plot? GOOD. Characters? GOOD. Climax? GOOD. STEAM??? OH BABY. DELICIOUS. SLURPY. Michelin star behavior 🫦 We are reviewing Knock Out today and let me just say… I went in with LOW expectations. Because I saw the poster and I was like “Hmm… this giving WeTV… and WeTV sometimes be playing in my face…” So I said okay, let me not expect anything. But do I love being proven wrong??? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY. Because WHY was I seated for episodes 1–9 without touching the 2× speed button??? Y’all know that’s serious. Now episodes 10–13… we will discuss. 😌
_________________________________
a) Plot
Okay first things first— Yes, there are some filler scenes. BUT they are tolerable. Not cringe. Not useless. Just there. Like do we need them? No. Do they ruin the show? Also no. So I’ll allow it. Now the plot itself??? Actually well executed. The pacing is a bit inconsistent though. Starts fast → slows down in the middle → drags a little near climax. But nothing that made me go “oh my god skip this.”
Now quick messy synopsis because I’m not writing Wikipedia today:
Keen loses his dad (RIP king) after a dog attack— BUT HOLD ON. Is it really just a dog attack??? OR IS THERE SOMETHING SHADY GOING ON??? 👀 Before he can even process his grief, debt collectors show up like “Hey bestie your dad owes us money 😍 pay up” And Keen is like “HELL NO???” Then BOOM. He gets beaten up, almost dies, and gets saved by Thun— a fine ass Muay Thai fighter who clearly knows how to throw hands 😮💨 From there, Keen stays at the Muay Thai academy and y’all already know… training, tension, trauma, and ✨romance✨
But what REALLY got me hooked??? The mystery behind the dad’s death. Because the moment they hinted it might not be an accident I was like "OH??? NOW WE’RE TALKING." Now let’s talk about what REALLY deserves recognition:
THE ACTION SCENES.
GOOD LORDTTTT 😮💨 Why am I sweating??? These fight scenes were BEAUTIFUL. Like choreographed with INTENTION. If KinnPorsche is a 10, this is a solid 8/10 and that is a COMPLIMENT. The fight between Thun and Yut??? When Yut flipped while his legs were locked??? BABYYYYYYY FLIP ME TOO WHILE YOU’RE AT IT. I volunteer. 🙋♀️ Honestly this show feels like a darker, sharper, better version of Wandee Goodday. Yes I said it. Don’t fight me.

b) Characters
>Thun played by Gunner Natsakan
He’s giving Korean oppa energy and I’m not mad about it 😌 Is he handsome? Yes. Am I obsessed? Not really. Acting wise— Body language? Good. Eyes? Baby… sometimes it’s giving loading screen. Like emotion.exe did not fully load 😭
Character-wise, Thun starts off cold, distant, don’t-care energy. But by episode 3??? This man turned into a warm boyfriend package. Too fast. I wanted more jealousy. More darkness. More toxicity. Especially with the Keen × Yut tension??? GIVE ME CHAOS. But okay… I’ll take what I can get.
> Keen played by Nice Boripat
WHY DOES THIS MAN LOOK LIKE Poon Mitpakdee LONG LOST TWIN??? Even the voice sometimes had me like UM HELLO ARE YOU SURE YOU’RE NOT RELATED??? Acting wise??? HE ATE. The funeral crying scene??? OOF. I FELT THAT.
Now Keen as a character… Let me describe him in one word: FAKE. And I mean that in the BEST way. Because he starts off as this innocent good boy… then slowly reveals himself to be a cunty, serving, power bottom ICON. YASSSSSSSSS 🫦 We LOVE a layered queen. Also he doesn’t just stand there and cry cuz he actually fights for people he loves. Respect.
> It played by Guide Kantapon
OH I BEEN KNEW THIS MAN since I Feel You Linger in the Air 😮💨 Acting skills? He doesn’t need discussion. He KNOWS what he’s doing. But his character??? Hmm… Lacking depth. He’s stuck between loyalty to the academy and protecting his sister, but we don’t really see his inner conflict.
He just… exists and handles things. Sir where is the emotional breakdown??? Where is the turmoil??? Also his confidence??? BABY WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING LIKE YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF 😭 I needed growth here.
> Marwin played by Dech Narongdet
Something about him screams Kimmon Warodom ENERGY. I don’t know what it is. The eyes? The vibe? The aura? But yeah. Acting wise he’s fine. The problem is his CHARACTER.
Because oh my god he pissed me off. Which means… he did a good job 😭 He starts off cold, distant, always on his phone. Then suddenly becomes social??? HELLO??? CONSISTENCY WHERE??? Also he causes more problems than the outsider (Keen) and I’m just like "CAN SOMEONE PARENT THIS CHILD???" And when betrayal happens??? I expected screaming. Crying. Throwing hands. But no. This man said “I trust him <3”
SIR STAND UP???
> Yut played by Gap Jakarin
…
This man.
THIS. MAN.
WHY AM I PURRING??? 😮💨 He lowkey looks like New Thitipoom sometimes and I cannot unsee it. But let’s talk about what matters:
HE IS FINE.
HE IS INSANE.
HE IS HOT.
Dangerous combo. The way he fights??? The way he moves??? GOOD LORD. And when he licked the blood??? I need to reevaluate my morals. Because why did I feel things??? Yut is a whole psycho and yet I’m like "hmm… would."
I need help.

c) Steam scene / Chemistry
> Thun × Keen
OH. MY. GOD. Am I watching a series or… something else??? Because the kissing scenes??? FILTHY. DELICIOUS. PASSIONATE. 🫦 This is NOT soft boy kissing. This is grown energy. This is what im asking for from GMMTV. Maybe this wont happened if it is GMMTHEE V. :(
Anyway, the chemistry is insane. The connection is strong. And finding out they’re no longer paired together??? CRIMINAL. A waste of chemistry.
> Marwin × It or It x Marwin idk
Okay listen… Don’t ask me who’s top or bottom because I DO NOT KNOW.
And honestly??? I LOVE THAT. 😏 The chemistry is THERE. The tension is THERE. The massage scene??? BABY I ALMOST HAD A NOSEBLEED. We need MORE of them. MORE SCREEN TIME. MORE CHAOS.

d) Overall
At this point do I even need to explain??? This series is complete. It has everything an action BL should have:

And y’all already know my rule... I don’t rewatch series unless it’s REALLY good.
But this one??? BABYYYYY I AM REWATCHING. MULTIPLE TIMES.
Final rating: 10/10. ABSOLUTELY. DELICIOUS. 🫦
