McSexy Feat. McHottie

That's my nickname for yinwar. They make a very cohesive and attractive pairing. Both being very good-looking with striking constrasts. If not for anything they'll continue to be successful because people genuinely enjoy watching them on screen. Good chemistry and palpable sexual tension.

Story
There are glaringly 3 main problems I've encountered watching this. The first one being ;

1. The story's writing. I could see the vision. Jack being bamboozled (big word for scammed) by Joker and forced to work as an enforcer for a criminal. Joker coming out from prison to help jack pay off his debt as restitution for destroying his life and ruining his future. The both of them growing as people and falling in love while taking down the big bad boss.

This is a good plot that would have worked with better writing. Watching the episodes singularly you don't notice the deficiencies in the plot as a lot of the situations simply made no sense but as i binged, I realised that the pacing was either too fast or too slow a lot of times with scenes being jumbled up with poor continuity as it moved from an episode to the next, with the same characters repeating the stupid mistakes they'd made and resolved 2 episodes ago .

2. Character development
I'm sure i will get pushback from this. But I didn't see any growth. Jack is the same naive fool that has been tricked 4 times in the span of 10 episodes while his love interest is still a reckless bull headed idiot that escalates situations for the worst. They never changed as people, as already since the beginning, they were portrayed as being kind, understanding and a bit misunderstood. So it made perfect sense that Joker felt guilty for his past actions and Jack would pay off people's debt for them, not being able to commit to being a heartless gangster.
I didn't see neither of them learning from their past actions and trying to move different. Joker still often times resolved to scamming and stealing to solve problems. And that's why the story felt like a loop cos they always ended up in the same situations again and again.

3. Love story
The reasons why i praised yinwar for their ship earlier, is because they're damn good ship. Better than most I've seen this year because, you actually can see them in your head sneaking off somewhere being in love or just being friends. They sell it. And they sold it. Even in the worst of moments that this show befuddled my mind (confused) me and had me fastforwarding a lot of useless scenes, I was rewarded with a cute scene or two per episode of them just being them. I wanted the satisfaction of just seeing them lock eyes and say the "i love yous" and kiss till the panties started dropping. I always looked forward to their scenes.

But that doesn't erase the obvious fact that the buildup to them falling in love was quite crappy and just too...easy. There was no real resolution of the past between them, no earth shattering realisation, or the unimaginable mental torture that would justify jack forgiving joker for fucking with him, and then later falling in love with him, after hating his guts for so long. That is what i didn't understand.Jack had a crush on him. But does puppy love justify this quick of a romance?

Then there's hope and save. Just throw those two away

Acting
It had some solid moments. Zorzo is gorgeous as always. I enjoyed scenes with her. A lot of the side characters were...underwhelming but I'd have to applaud the older actors for doing great jobs. Nice to see Mark Siwat in a new role as well.

Rewatch Value
I will as usual edit this review based on the finale. But I'd say that the gushing praise and excitement I've seen is probably attributed to my gorgeous main leads (yinwar). And the excitement people get in watching them flirt.
