Jack and Joker (2024)

Sem atalhos e Sem pressa e o BL Entregou Tudo

Essa série tem praticamente tudo, para ser sincero, há ação, drama e romance com um enredo provocativo. Os personagens também são bem desenvolvidos, a história é interessante e os visuais são realmente bonitos de se ver. Além disso, não foge muito das questões do mundo real, então se você está cansado de romances e quer algo novo, adicione-o à sua lista.

Cinematografia:

Na minha opinião, a série é impressionante aos olhos, o que é um feito raro em dramas BL, mas aqui, a cinematografia captura a opulência brilhante e superficial dos ricos com as realidades cruas da pobreza muito bem.

Sem atalhos e Sem pressa:
Quando ele deixou de lado aquela raiva ao perdoar Joker, ele começou a se encontrar novamente e a maneira como a amizade deles reacendeu tão lentamente, tão naturalmente foi o que a tornou ainda mais poderosa. Não houve pressa, nem atalhos, apenas uma lenta reconstrução da confiança. Observá-los se apaixonando, pedaço por pedaço, momento a momento, foi muito gratificante depois de todas as emoções que passei com esse show. No final, acho que foi mais uma questão de cura do que apenas de amor. Eles se tornaram o porto seguro um do outro.

O BL terminou do jeito que estava imaginando e atendeu minhas expectativas. Alguns pontos das histórias mereciam um olhar mais cauteloso, considerando o todo, foi maravilhosa.

Mess... not in a good way.

It walked this very narrow line between a parody and serious action drama and fell down to the cold circus floor.

I know I will be a minority here, but I don't think this show is good. The story isn't really what you expect it to be and when you try to adjust to the silliness and light tone of it all, the show gets dark and serious out of the blue.

The premise is about clever thief, who uses his wits to outbest his oponents. He steals from the rich, gives it to the poor and he looks cool doing it. But -
none of the roberries make sense. Logic and common sense flew out of the window and everything that happend was the most random shenanigans i have ever seen. This is present in the entire show.

Multiple times per this series the plot advanced by playing random luck based games where to soundtrack would like you to think that thats the most tense scene ever (it was not).

I feel like the entire script was a first draft. They knew what they wanted to happen but didn't know how to make it happen. And when we run out of plot we throw in some random plot points to get to the finale. And all of it is a big shame because the actors are good, the show looks good (soundtrack sucks but that I can live with), the message about poor people struggling to fulfill their dreams while rich people use their leverage over them was attempted but ultimately under used. On rare occasions, there is some really good character work but that's the end of positives.

And one of the worst down sides? We get Jack and Joke dating for only 3 episodes. Even less because the curse of episode 11 is strong and omnipresent in the bl genre. Yinwar are the best actors in the industry but that alone wont save this show, relaying on their chemistry only makes the show limp from start to finish. The worst it is that we don't see all that much of them.

I am sad but, hey? Do you like the show and had blast watching it? Good for you. I would only recommend if you are hardcore Yinwar fan.

Precisavamos disso!

Finalmente senti algo novo, que estava faltando. Humor e ação, é ótimo sair da bolha do colegial e do fofinho para as situações trágicas e letais.

Os personagens são bastante amáveis e engraçados, as situações que a guangue se encontra é sempre surpreendente, essa mistura de humor com algo parecido a "assalto ao banco" traz uma boa dose de suspense.

O modo como retratam Joke como alguém que sempre busca o perdão e as desculpas, é algo bem humano (mas estou pronto para ver o Wanarat em outros papéis), sinto que isso fez ele ser bem aprofundado. No entanto, Jack ser explosivo e colérico, trás uma boa perspectiva de diferentes personalidades, isso enquanto ele ainda é doce.

Khun Rose faz um ótimo papel, trazendo profundidade no relacionamento entre Jack e Joker, e, principalmente, dela com Jack. Hoy e Tatto são super engraçados e cômicos, trazendo um alívio cômico que necessitava. (Apenas senti falta do racionamento desenvolvido de Tatto e Arun).

A jogada do plot-twist foi bem pensado, sinto que talvez tenha sido muito, mas trouxe um bom resultado no final.

O romance realmente tenha sido pouco, mas tenho uma opinião impopular. O romance nem sempre resume-se à beijo e outras coisas, pare para pensar que tudo que Jack e Joker fizeram por eles, foi por amor. Precisamos sair dessse estereótipo de um romance doce e pegajoso.

Com isso, findo.

Absolutamente incrível.

Jack and Joker é um drama muito emocionante, com uma ambientação bem trabalhada e história envolvente. Quando você pensa: "ah, ele não faria isso..." a história simplesmente se desenvolve com um trama ainda mais impressionante do que o esperado. Fora a relação do Jack e do Joke, que também é uma coisa tão pura e genuína, nos trazendo para o mundo deles onde cada um faria de tudo um pelo outro e pelos amigos.
Eu assistiria de novo, as cenas de ação e o plot twist do final foram bem construídas; porém, sinto que se tivéssemos mais um episódio, as coisas poderiam ser mais explicadas. Tirando isso, Jack and Joker é definitivamente um dos melhores BL's desse ano em todos os aspectos.

best bl show in the last 3 years

i am so sad this show has ended honestly. i dont like avidly keep up with bls but i keep up with them enough to have watched both the versions of love mechanics lol. yinwar did SO well in the second version and since then i followed them begging for a new show with those two cause they act so well together.
when they released the pilot episode i was literally the happiest person on earth 😭 i counted down the days until the show was releasing and honestly i've been super disappointed with all the bls i've watched since bad buddy and not me.
ok on to the review of the show - i had high expectations and i was NOT disappointed. the acting is SO good, and while every show has their bits of cringe lines and acting, i could excuse them because the rest of the show was good.
however, there are two things i didn't like - the first being how they just killed off jennie's character. i mean i understand that they were trying to depict how serious issues like debt can get, but when she fell of the balcony they didn't even bother to take her to the hospital or try to revive her. her death scene was like 2 minutes long and it was over 😭 they didn't show her best friend mourning and they didn't say a word about it after that scene. that kinda pissed me off.
secondly, the endorsement of violence. listen, i understand it was part of jack's job to beat people up, but they made it seem like hope genuinely enjoyed it?? like there were multiple times where he said something along the lines of "i like beating people up", and i don't like that his redemption arc was not really a redemption arc cause they acted like he barely did anything wrong even though he was a huge asshole and sadist. i'm sorry i just never liked hope's character because of how violent he was and how less he cared for people he didn't love.
ANYWAYS, other than those two, the show was literally perfect. they kept dragging on the plot until the last episode but somehow they handled it well and the show was paced really nicely - nothing felt rushed. i don't think i'll ever find a bl this good for a really long time and i want 100 more projects from yinwar PLEASE IM LITERALLY BEGGING 🙏
their acting and chemistry is insanely good - i've never seen a pair where BOTH of them are so insanely good at acting and also insanely good at acting with each other too. i've actually never wanted two actors to be together until these two, that's just how endorsed they are in their characters in the show - it's soooo goooddd. i mean i dont actually want them to be together, but iykyk.

Repetitive plot structure. Underdeveloped character arcs

The series presents a narrative with stagnant characters, Jack and Joker, who repeatedly fall into similar problematic situations without meaningful growth, despite initial hints of depth. Save's betrayal of friends, including an attempt to poison a grandmother, further highlights the series' shallow character development. While the talented cast attempts to elevate the material, the show fails to meaningfully explore serious themes like childhood poverty, instead using them as superficial plot devices. The comedy falls flat due to poor editing, and the relationships, though unique, lack emotional complexity. Ultimately, the series might appeal to viewers seeking unconventional romantic dynamics but falls short of delivering a sophisticated or transformative storytelling experience.

Interesting plot, Like both leads

Jack and Joker start really well. Unlike other bl, this has a decent story. All the actors did pretty well. Both the lead actors have a good chemistry. Jack, Joker, and Arun's appearance was most likable.

Still, many things after the middle where things not making any sense. In the last episode when Boss loses his s**t was so messed up, why does he want to play a game, it makes him look like a fool, he was greedy but come on having a ring that can possess any power is so unrealistic, he was just a fool. His guards acting was so bad, the fighting scenes looked fine but in the end, they did very bad acting, I feel like watching any old movie, where the villain ties people just for fun!

In the 11 episod someone take their own life because of boss but he got redumption but does someone like him deserves it?

La gran apuesta de YinWar

Seamos sinceros, la serie no tiene sentido la mayor parte del tiempo. Las tramas llegan a ser absurdas, las explicaciones no hay por dónde cogerlas y, hasta que no llegas al final del todo, no llegas a comprender cómo todo es un juego y nadie tiene poder de decisión... lo que imagino que explica por qué nadie coge un palo cuando va a pelear...

Ahora bien, cómo la he disfrutado. Yin y War se marcan unos papelazos y saber que han puesto de su propio dinero para la producción me hace querer darles besitos en la frente.

No es la serie del año, pero sí muy digna de ver.

Joker is giving everything and we love it

I love everything about Joke. Like literally everything. His voice, the way he speaks so softly to Jack, his face, his tattoos, his smirks. And the way he kisses? This man is H-U-N-G-R-Y. I can't say enough about how complex and fine this character felt to me.

But sadly this is mostly everything that I liked. The rest is... Just weird. Things and especially change of feelings happen way too fast, some directing choices just flabbergasted me and Boss character... Don't let me started. It seemed like he is trying to be the villain we deserve so much but his portrayer looked more like drama kid with mental issues who definitely is not the main character but tries hard to be one. Damn, I'm sort of disappointed but overall I think that the chemistry and story are good enough but let's not kid ourselves Joker is the light of this show! I would recommend watching this just for him.

i mean it was a level up from love mechanics i guess

right off the bat, this one is gonna require your suspension of disbelief because what happened in that 1st ep... you just gotta let it go lmao. production-wise, this was such an upgrade from the last yinwar project. i think both of their acting has improved as well. the story tho... i wasn't crazy about it. hmm well after you let go of how that scene in the bank went in the first ep, i thought it was interesting at first but then it just got boring in the middle. i would've loved it if joke's reason for doing what he's doing is deeper than "daddy issues" but oh well. for me, the more serious and action sequences did not blend well with the comedic antics of the characters. it just wasn't executed smoothly. there are times where i don't think this knows what tone they wanted to have. the villains in this story became such caricature in the end there that it's so ridiculous because again, the tone is trying to be ~serious~ but they're acting so silly. what do you mean you're supposed to be powerful and scary then lost to a hangman game!!! Zorry, i just did not buy it lol

however, i did think yin and war still have that chemistry. i love my slowburns but the romance did feel like it was put on the back burner at one point. i don't know that they pulled off a "good slowburn romance" to be honest. it just lack some more development(?) or more yearning(?) i guess. don't get me wrong, i love them together and i definitely had that "finally!!! :)" feeling when they got together but i guess i wanted more??? especially the development of them getting to know each other after 5 years. they were basically strangers even before joke went to prison so.... yeah.

Mesmo não tendo nem 5 episódios, esse BL conseguiu me deixar obcecada de uma maneira que nunca esperei ser capaz. A atuação deles é algo que nunca duvidei, MAS MEU DEUS, eles fazem de tudo e um pouco mais. A personalidade de ambos os dois também me apaixonou, o Joker sendo irônico e manipular e o Jack sempre sendo uma pessoa boa independente de tudo. O Joker no lovers enquanto o Jack vive no enemies é algo surreal, a confiança entre eles não dita com palavras mas com ações e tudo mais. Talvez eu esteja exagerando e seja apenas um vício que tive, mas com toda certeza, está sendo um dos melhores BL que assisti e provavelmente ficará entre meus favoritos.
