A Journey Into the Complexity of Love and Healing

So here’s my honest review about the series: If you're looking for a series that makes you pause and think long after the credits roll, this is it. From the very start, this drama set itself apart with its honest, unflinching portrayal of the emotional intricacies of love and personal growth. It doesn’t follow the usual formula of instant chemistry or love at first sight. Instead, it takes its time—building the characters, their struggles, and ultimately, their healing process. This isn’t just a romance; it's a thoughtful exploration of what it means to truly understand and accept yourself and others in a relationship.

The narrative is grounded in an uncommon theme—alexithymia—an emotional condition that most people are unfamiliar with. The series doesn’t just brush over this issue; it makes it a core part of the story, delving into how it affects not just the person living with it, but also the people around them. This aspect of the show was a real breath of fresh air. As someone who’s always been interested in psychology, it felt rewarding to see such a complex topic handled so respectfully and with real depth. But beyond that, this show speaks to something universal: how we love, how we cope, and how we grow. There’s a quiet power in its exploration of how love, especially mature love, should bring peace rather than anxiety or turmoil. It’s a beautiful, cathartic message, one that lingers long after you finish the series.

One of the most pleasant surprises was the acting. Lin Yi, while initially playing a reserved and somewhat enigmatic character, brings a surprising amount of depth and vulnerability. His character may not wear his emotions on his sleeve, but Lin Yi’s ability to convey complex emotions with just a look, a pause, or a single gesture is something to behold. You don’t need words when the acting is this effective.

However, what truly stood out was Shen Yue. Many people know her from previous roles, and while she’s always been a capable actress, here she steps into new territory. Her portrayal of Guyi was nothing short of stunning. She completely transformed into her character, making Guyi feel like a fully fleshed-out, real person with strengths, weaknesses, and emotional complexities. Watching Shen Yue move between moments of strength and vulnerability, quiet contemplation and intense emotion, was like watching an artist at work. I also have to give a shoutout to her beauty in this role. There’s something about her presence on screen that’s almost ethereal, particularly in her emotional scenes. Her tears were so hauntingly beautiful—each one carrying the weight of her character’s internal struggle.

If you’re a sucker for that perfect couple dynamic, this show delivers. The chemistry between Lin Yi and Shen Yue is palpable, but what I loved about their relationship was that it felt earned, not instantaneous. They didn’t rush into each other’s arms; instead, their connection built slowly, grounded in mutual understanding and respect. Their moments together were quiet and understated, but that made them all the more powerful. There was never a moment where I questioned whether they “belonged” together—everything just clicked, naturally. The unspoken connection between them, in the quiet glances and subtle gestures, was more than enough to carry the emotional weight of their relationship.

The music in this series also deserves a mention. The soundtrack complements the tone of the show perfectly—there’s a softness to it that feels almost meditative. It never overpowers the scenes, but it enhances them, especially during the more emotionally charged moments. The opening theme, with its smooth, English lyrics, set the stage right from the beginning. Music like this doesn’t just add to the atmosphere; it becomes a part of the emotional fabric of the story.

What really makes this drama stand out is its depth and richness. It’s a show you can revisit, not just for the romance, but for the lessons it offers and the emotional journey it takes you on. I have no doubt this is a series I’ll return to when I need something that feels both comforting and thought-provoking. It’s the kind of show that doesn’t just entertain but stays with you, challenging your thoughts on love, healing, and self-acceptance.

If you’re looking for something that goes beyond surface-level romance and dives into deeper emotional territory, this series is a must-watch. I’d happily recommend it to anyone who’s ready for a beautiful, soul-stirring experience.

I'm not a robot

First of all I do not know if some things will count as a spoiler. Second it is probably first time when I will mention a lot of cast in review, so let's go:
Yoo Seung Ho - he was the reason why I chose this drama cause I really liked him in My strange hero, he has such a cute smile (that make me want to see him act with Park Bo Young), he played really good, his sad, puppy eyes, also chemistry was cute
Chae Soo Bin - it turned out I already watch something with her (Sweet&Sour), she was much more memorable here, she played really cute and adorable character, chemistry was good, even with her character's ex
Uhm Ki Joon - I did not expect that I would like his character, in the end his story and romance with Pi were one of my favourite plots
Park Se Wan - she played really fun character, I already watched her in So not worth it and as far as I liked her there, here she literally stole the show, also when she straighten her hair she reminded me of Jo Bo Ah in My strange hero and now I need her as main lead with Yoo Seung Ho
Lee Min Ji, Seo Dong Won and Go Geon Han - were so easy to like, also Go Geon Han's english was so nice
Kang Ki Young - It is always nice to see some actor in drama when you do not expect him, I am so happy that in the end he turned out as a good person, also chemistry Hwang Seung Eon was so good - she played really nice character - need them as main leads
Also nice to see Choi Dong Goo after The judge from hell - his character was a little like mischievous puppy.
If you survive praising the cast then I move on to the plot - it was something new and at the same time nothing original, but was so easy to watch, I do not even know how fast I moved through it. It is worth watching, especially when you want to watch something light.

A Beautiful, Unexpected Emotional Journey

From the very first episode, I found myself completely invested in this series. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think a slow-burn romance would be my thing, but this show proved me wrong in the best possible way. The heart of the story lies in its exploration of alexithymia—a condition I don’t often see explored in dramas, especially with such depth. As someone who studies psychology, it was so refreshing to see this nuanced subject handled with care. The romance itself was touching, yes, but it’s the way the show balanced love with self-discovery, patience, and emotional growth that truly won me over. The series teaches us that love isn’t always easy or immediate, but it’s a process. I loved the idea that love, when mature, should soothe and bring peace, not cause turmoil. That moment where Guyi begins to understand this lesson, especially after LDW leaves for Dalian, was such a turning point, both for the character and for the story.

I honestly can’t say enough about the acting in this drama. Lin Yi’s performance was understated yet incredibly powerful. His character’s internal struggle was conveyed so effortlessly that it was almost painful to watch at times—there’s a real subtlety to how he portrays his emotions. But what really took me by surprise was Shen Yue. I’ve always liked her, but this role as Guyi felt like a whole new side to her as an actress. Gone was any trace of her previous roles (I’m looking at you, Chen Xiaoxi), and in her place was a fully fleshed-out character who felt real and raw. Shen Yue nailed every single emotional beat, and it’s clear that her acting has leveled up. And let me just say, she was absolutely stunning on screen, especially in the more emotional scenes. Her tears were almost poetic in how they flowed, and her smile—wow, her smile! It’s like she glowed. The transformation in her performance from start to finish was nothing short of remarkable.

And let’s talk about chemistry—because Lin Yi and Shen Yue? They were magic. Seriously, their chemistry was something special. I don’t know if it was the perfect blend of their acting or the way their characters were written, but there was a natural ease to their connection that made every scene feel so authentic. It wasn’t just about the “romantic moments” (though there were plenty of those). It was in the way they looked at each other, in the quiet pauses, in the unspoken understanding between them. This kind of chemistry doesn’t happen by accident, and it really made the series so much more enjoyable. I caught myself rooting for them, even in the small moments.

A huge shoutout to the soundtrack as well. The OST was perfectly chosen, with tracks that enhanced every emotional beat. I found the intro theme particularly captivating—it had this effortless quality to it that I just couldn’t get out of my head. What I really appreciated was how the English lyrics made it accessible, giving the series an added layer of universal appeal. The music never overshadowed the drama, but it always felt like the perfect companion to the story. It’s the kind of soundtrack that sticks with you long after the show ends.

This is one of those series that will definitely get a second (and probably third) watch from me. I’d give the rewatch value a solid 10/10. It's the kind of drama you turn to when you want to feel comforted, to reconnect with the characters, and to experience the beautiful chemistry between Lin Yi and Shen Yue all over again. It’s a show that stays with you, and I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to it again whenever I need a pick-me-up.

This Show Will Have You Sweating, Swooning, and Obsessing

I just finished the first episode of The Heart Killer and... wow. I’m OBSESSED. 😱 From the moment it started, I was already glued to my screen like, “How can something this good exist?” The cast F-I-R-E . The chemistry? I swear these two could start a fire with just a glance. I'm over here thinking, “Is it hot in here or is it just them?”

And the visuals? OMG the production has done great job. The direction is seriously next-level. It's like they sprinkled a bit of magic dust over the whole production.

But let’s talk about the storyline because OH MY GOD, this is not your typical Thai BL drama. Like, I’m used to the usual love stories with a side of angst, but The Heart Killer is like, “Nah, let’s add some spice, a plot twist, and maybe a little chaos, just to keep you on your toes.” The suspense, the tension, and don’t even get me started on the spice—I’m over here sweating bullets.

I’m already rewatching the first episode because the way it sucked me in from the first scene is honestly unfair. It’s got all the flavors—like a five-course meal of drama, spice, and swoon-worthy moments. I’m officially counting down the days until the next episode. If you haven’t seen it yet, get on it. The Heart Killer is about to be your new obsession.

unique story, great acting, best thai show 2024

First I was intrigued to get a different story every episode or so I assumed. But after two stories, the stories get expanded. And when you watch ep 6 you know there is something different going on. That's a novel concept to watch many BLs in one BL :)

Both MLs are very good at their jobs conveying different characters with different mindsets and with many emotions.
Both are standing out from most other thai BL actors playing the same character over and over again. So this show stands out in creativity and execution. While not perfect it's exceptional in the year 2024, where we got so much trash. Without a doubt, it's the best thai BL series in 2024.

I don't want to spoil the fun for you, but you should watch this. Yes you will cry, but you will also feel happy.

Interesting plot & very engaging

I first watched it when it first came out and I was pretty hooked onto it. The whole cast, the acting & the setting were real nice. The story was somewhat good but I just don't know how I feel about the ending.

I still rewatched the whole show for a second & third time though, after every other while. That's how much I loved the casting, lol.

There isn't any romance; there is a bit of humor & there's definitely somewhat a connection you'll feel throughout the show (according to me).

I do highly recommend watching if you love action, vengeance & a fine cast.

A Unique Journey Through Love and Self-Discovery

Plotwise: This series was an unexpected gem. At first, I wasn’t sure if I could get into the slow-burn romance, but I was quickly pulled in by the depth and complexity of the story. What truly set this apart was its exploration of alexithymia, a psychological condition that is rarely portrayed in such a thoughtful way. As someone with a background in psychology, I appreciated how the show tackled this topic with sensitivity and depth. But it’s not just about the condition—it’s about how love and human connections evolve, how people deal with loss, and the growth that comes with experiencing mature, patient love. One of the biggest takeaways from the series for me was the idea that love, at its core, should be peaceful.

Acting: The performances were another major highlight. From the leads to the supporting characters, every actor brought their A-game. Lin Yi’s portrayal of his character stood out for its quiet intensity. His stoic nature didn’t make him emotionless—rather, it made the moments where his character was conflicted or uncertain even more impactful. He was able to convey so much with just a look or a pause, which was impressive. On the other hand, Shen Yue completely transformed in her role as Guyi. I’ve always admired her acting, but this was next level. In the past, it often felt like there was a trace of her previous roles but here, she truly embodied Guyi in every way. She gave the character so many layers and brought an emotional depth to the role that felt real and raw. It was also hard to ignore how stunning she looked on screen—especially during her emotional scenes. Her tears weren’t just tears; they felt like an expression of her soul. And her smile? She’s never looked more radiant. It’s clear Shen Yue has grown so much as an actress, and I couldn’t be more impressed.

Chemistry: If I’m being honest, Lin Yi and Shen Yue’s chemistry is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. It was genuine, unforced, and effortlessly believable. Their connection was magnetic, and it made every shared moment, every glance, feel charged with emotion. They weren’t just playing roles; they became the characters, and that made their romance feel so authentic. It’s rare to find leads with such natural chemistry, and this pairing truly delivered.

Rewatch Value:
I’m already looking forward to watching this again. The rewatch value is definitely a 10/10. It’s the kind of drama you can return to for comfort, to relive the quiet moments and emotional highs. And I’ll be honest—I’m already craving more of the Lin Yi and Shen Yue magic. The chemistry, the emotions, the beautiful storytelling—this is a series that stays with you long after it ends.

Unpopular opinion. I didn’t like anything except the visuals and Neo

Sadly, I was not bestowed the fortune to like this drama, even though I really wanted to. Warning: this is one of my rare non-positive review so if you love the drama maybe it’s best to skip this read. While this drama wasn’t my cup of tea, I mean no disrespect to those that loved it.

POSITIVE:
- Stunning visuals: the cinematography, costumes and overall aesthetics was a true living piece of art.
- Male lead: I loved his demon look, and the way his character was portrayed. Neo nailed the emotional scenes and his comedic timing was great.
- Cast chemistry: even though I wasn’t emotionally invested in the story, the chemistry between the actors was great, especially the two male leads.
- End credits: the most random and adorable dance scenes.

NEGATIVE:
- Vibes of “Tacky christmas aesthetics”: too loud and too much going on in every single scene. Everyone was crying all the time and I felt nothing. It looked to me like the director was hyper-focused on creating the most stunning music video, that he forgot he was supposed to be making a drama.

- Messy storytelling: heavy reliance on flashbacks after flashbacks, dream sequence after dream sequence, weird inserts of “beautiful visuals” in-between scenes that broke the flow of the story. Instead of adding depth, the storytelling actually felt cluttered and disjointed. The conversations were the biggest issue for me as they often abruptly shifted between serious tones, to sudden humours, to sudden emotional outbursts - all this in one scene! This made me feel like I was watching a parody.

- Non-stop OST: music was constantly playing in the background which pissed me off big time. At times, it seemed like the director didn’t trust the actors to land their jokes, so he relied on comedic background music to tell the audience when they were supposed to laugh.

- Meh characters: except Neo’s character, nobody else left an impression on me. The female lead was useless. The second male lead was too stoic (I prefer his badass MJTY character). The second female lead’s action scenes were cool and I enjoyed the sub-plot with her brother but overall her character felt flat. The cook was cute but that’s all. The kiddo annoyed me af. I would have liked him more if he were written as a mature young genius instead of a teen acting like a 5-year-old. His possessed scenes were cool, though.

OVERALL:
This drama had everything I usually enjoy, an intriguing fantasy setting, demons and a great cast but the execution just didn’t work for me. Except for Neo, none of the characters left any impact on me. In fact, I should have probably skipped this one because now it has become one of my worst watches.

Visuals: 10/10
Story: 2/10
Characters: 2/10
Enjoyment: 0/10

FYI, my thoughts are mostly based on ep 1-24 as after this I lost all patience and skipped tons in order to finish it. I did watch the final episode and special episode.
