I think Jack and Joker is trying too hard to be not just a BL series, they want it to be more: a thriller, a serious…
I think that trend originated from KinnPorsche (for the mafia theme) and Not Me (for the social issues). What directors don't understand is that those series were not perfect but they executed those themes well and kept a balance between the serious stuff and the BL.
So I caved in and watched the sad episode anyway. I wasn't expecting the turn things are taking in the next episode…
It's weird how Boss keeps insisting Jack calls him "dad". What if he really thinks he is his dad? And he torpedoed the parents' business because he got mad Jack's mom said he wasn't? I'm laughing as I write this but what if??

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I agree with you in real life. You don't just sit around and wait for opportunities…
That makes sense. I had to learn not to expect too much plot-wise from BLs in general. I watch them to relax and indulge. With everything else however, better believe I immediately whip out my critic cap!

Yes I know what you mean, I myself have a handful of points I would have done differently. But I’m still infinitely grateful BL series have come such a long way and J&J is my favourite Thai BL this year so far!

I like that Jack chose the easy way out because I like flawed characters, but he should grow out of that and demonstrate character development by the end of the show.
However, I don’t like that they don’t even suspect the boss of poisoning grandma because I don’t like stupid characters. Or, if the character is incompetent, he should at least be very likeable or move the plot forward.
He was good enough to make the national team, but his coach and the other jury members didn’t vote him in along…
His parents come from a poor, uneducated background and you’re surprised they fell for a predatory clause in a loan shark’s contract specifically designed to take advantage of people like them? If the plot complexity doesn’t satisfy you, just drop the show. 🤷♀️

Well that’s the story, dude got his dream crushed by external circumstances, which is as good a backstory as any other. I don’t know what your comment means to be honest.

Err… I think the plot says because he got trapped into becoming a loan’s shark lackey to pay back his parents’ debt. I’m starting to doubt you’ve watched more than half of the first episode…
Okay wait a minute I have a wack theory.
