The Heart Killers (2024)

The boicot in The Heart Killers

This series went from ★8.3 to ★6.3 in the time of four days since its release last week.

There’re people saying it’s because it’s bad, others are saying it is because it took Jack & Joker first place in IQIYI, and there’s also people saying it is too s3xual for it to be on screen.

So, no matter what the reasons are, when you come to watch a series, you must know where you’re putting yourself in. No matter what the series is about, you should value it as a series of such gender, such as action, romance, politics, horror, suspense or anything. If you’re gonna leave a bad review, these is probably not your series so what might be better is for you to stop watching.

Let’s give these series a chance to be great, it only started and I really hope I can say at the end, it was amazing.

Hamburgers & First Impressions

Grab your plates children, good food has arrived, and I am not talking about the burgers. Kant is a love bombing, manipulative police snitch, Bison is a cheeky, adorable hitman, Fadel is a moody hitman who loves cooking, and Style is an annoying, gremlin, stalker mechanic who would do anything for an old car. Between the four of them, someone is about to get burn, and it's not the hamburgers!

Listen, this drama is a recipe for disaster, and I am SAT. STANDING. Heck, I'm even KNEELING, cuz my Wednesdays are about to be sooo good. The first two episodes have me hooked. As someone who waited forever for this, I was crossing my fingers that this didn't end up being a giant disappointment. Thankfully, FirstKhao and JoongDunk delivered, and I'm so happy all that waiting paid off.

I kept grinning throughout the first episode. To be honest, I knew FirstKhao were going to deliver cuz those two are allergic to playing subpar characters. JoongDunk on the other hand, I saw Hidden Agenda, my hope for them was literally on the floor. So shame on me, cuz they have grown so much! Literally, Style's annoying arse have made me love Dunk's character so much. Yes, he's a stalker, but, he's annoying an assassin for a car, so I say power to him. Fadel, that bed and sauna flashbacks though... yep.

Kant & Bison
The moment Bison started doing his little inlove-ness-ness cute thing with the tissue like a disney maiden in a musical, I went... 'Peoples, we have lost a brother! That hitman, just got hit by cupid's arrow.' No, but, already episode 1 and these two are talking about 'boyfriend' and doing the devil's tango. Kant out there talking about: 'It was so good, I passed out afterwards.' CHILD?? I mean, I saw that peg in the trailer, but damn, Sharon, that good huh? Khao a better person than me though, cuz after that butt grab, I’d have asked First like: ‘So, what are we? Should we move in together? hihi?’

I love Bison, although he can probably end someone with that burger hat fifty different ways, he comes off so gentle and innocent, and just so adorable. Him dancing in episode 2 all so cute, and all the ways he finds to tempt Kant. I love him. The moment Bison said 'thank you for the unsolicited advice, I knew he was gonna be one of my favs. Lol at him during that karaoke scene which caused them move cities! I feel bad for him though, cuz Kant is gonna destroy his heart completely being the snitch that he is.

Kant. Oh, Kant. What a giant red flag you are. He's doing so much all to clear his grand theft auto charges. Which sure, who wouldn't wanna be free from the popo, but dropping a bowling ball on someone you paid's foot, so they'd flirt with Bison was just cruel. And also, like, he claims Style is his best-friend, but he didn't even tell him he's trying to set him up with an assassin. Sure, Style would have screamed 'hell no' but letting your friend flirt with someone you suspects murder people for a living is sucky. Homeboy sucks, but, snitches do get stitches, so yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how it all plays out.

As always, FirstKhao's chemistry is up the roof.

Fadel & Style
I am loving the dynamic between these two. Fadel is like one of those people who are like: 'Dear dairy, I went out today, and the humans are still there. I hate everything.' And Style comes off as one of those people who pets random dogs on the street and talk with everyone in the park. Him dancing by himself was such a mood. I've never met such a friendly, yet, annoying stalker like him. And I don't know what that says about me that I love him so much. No, he's so annoying, but like... he's the best. Though, now that we know his stalking antics are working on Fadel, I'm so looking forward to both of them finding out each other's secret. It's going to be amazing.

They gonna drive each other insane, in a good way, and I can't effing wait. When Style showed up in his tank-top in ep1, I knew he was going to be annoying as hell, and immediately I went, yes, more please, Fadel is gonna lose his mind, and apparently lots of tissues, and I'm here for it. JoongDunk are good in their roles, and I am happy to see them bring the characters to life.

Both Kant and Style are also red flags. Perhaps, they do deserve to be best-friends. Cuz we have Kant's arse love bombing poor Bison, and here Style is, stalking and disturbing a quiet gentle soul all because he wants an old car. Him getting thrown outside, and watered had me on the floor. He lucky he didn't get stabbed, Fadel looks so done with him. Though he just might when Fadel finds out he's only after him cuz he wants a car. Poor dude. I am looking forward to seeing how that plays out, and how they'd end up together. The chase is gonna be so sweet.

PLOT: Interesting concept, brothers assassins, getting tangled with two red flag best-friends, one an informant, and one just in love with himself. It can only be chaos, and I am here for all the drama. I am looking forward to how the plot unfolds and what would become of their relationships.

We are starting with 9 stars, let's see how it goes from here. I can't wait for the rest of the episodes.

Enjoy the good food people!

Why settle for romance when you can throw in a little murder on the side?

Hearts Killers

After the success of Only Friends, Jojo is back at it, sticking to his strengths with another mature rom-com. This time, he brings us Hearts Killers, starring not one but two GMMTV ships: FirstKhao and JoongDunk.

It’s hard to fully judge the acting based on just one episode, but a few things are already clear.
FirstKhao continue to prove they’re versatile, talented, and can generate chemistry like it’s their part-time job. Meanwhile, JoongDunk are stepping into slightly more mature roles, and while Dunk’s acting still teeters into “hmm, questionable” territory at times, you can see the improvement. Particularly in his scenes with First—though, to be fair, First could probably have chemistry with a mop. Credit where it’s due: Jojo’s strategy of dressing Dunk to the nines to distract the audience worked brilliantly on certain fans (and possibly some unsuspecting reviewers). Good editing also plays its part, smoothing out some of the rougher edges.

The story itself is a modern reimagining of The Taming of the Shrew, giving us an overarching plot with an added bonus: Khao and Joong moonlighting as killers. Yes, you read that right—killers. Because why settle for romance when you can throw in a little murder on the side?

The first episode comes out swinging with a strong start, but it’s too early to tell if the momentum and quality will hold up. Will this be a steady climb, or are we about to take a nosedive into Wasted Potential Land? Time will tell.

One thing is certain: this show had a budget, and it flaunts it. From the polished aesthetics to the careful attention to detail, it’s clear that Hearts Killers received a level of care and investment that some other GMMTV projects can only dream of. For that alone, I’m grateful—there’s nothing worse than watching a good idea drowned in low-budget awkwardness.

All in all, it’s a strong start, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. Murder, romance, and fan-favorite ships—what’s not to love? Well, unless you’re the shrew getting tamed. Then maybe not so much.

Review will be updated as series progress.

So far so good!! >.<

*The Heart Killers* is an exciting new Thai BL series that’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. It brings a fresh twist to the genre by blending romance with a touch of mystery and suspense, making it feel unique and captivating from the start. Im also very happy that we finally get a new joongdunk and khaofirst series!! :D
The leads have fantastic chemistry, and their interactions are full of tension and heartfelt moments that pull you in. The storyline is intriguing, balancing light romantic scenes with darker, more intense themes. On top of that, the production quality is impressive, with beautiful cinematography and a soundtrack that complements the mood perfectly.
What really stands out is how the show keeps you guessing. It doesn’t rely on typical BL tropes but still delivers the emotional moments fans love. That mix of unpredictability and heartfelt storytelling is what makes *The Heart Killers* so promising.
So far, it’s been a great ride, and I’m hoping the series keeps up the momentum. If it can stick the landing, it has the potential to be one of the best BL dramas this year. Fingers crossed it doesn’t disappoint! :33

First Impression: The Heart Killers

Overall: I was entertained and appreciated the different premise so I'm starting with 9. 12 episodes about 1 hour each (uncut). Airing uncut on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/2elmpcfm17c?lang=en_us&sh_pltf=4 ; airing uncut? on GagaOOLala in Germany, UK & Australia - US starting Dec 21st https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4985/the-heart-killers-2024 ; airing uncut? on GMMTV's YouTube channel not in the US, Canada or Japan https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszepnkojZI6Bo6a1yZ8iqQTM_A7AiYxQ&si=R4ODeKuWn7AV-SQh (I will use a VPN to check if Gaga and YT are the cut or uncut version, episode 1 on iQIYI was 1hr4m27s)

Content Warnings: murder, blood, manipulation, non con picture taking, blackmail/coercion

What I Liked
- an engaging start
- unique premise (non school setting and actors get to play characters closer to their real age)
- flirting/physical intimacy
- styling

Room For Improvement
- I've never seen a mechanic with that much grease on their face/body before, felt like a fictional way to say "this person is an auto mechanic"
- some of the sound effects/background music
- a couple of odd mouth/face close up shots
- to be determined if they can balance the humor and serious parts well
- (neutral) there's some nonsense stuff but it doesn't bother me right now
