I Will Hit You (2022)

La trama es muy graciosa

Esta serie me recuerda a my engineer, y es una de mis series favoritas ? no siempre he sido fan de las series que tienen comedia pero esta me gusto mucho por los protagonistas. Es muy buena pero va poco a poco, no va apurada la serie, hasta donde voy (en el capítulo 6) se pueden ver avances en los protagonistas pero todavía falta más por ver y la verdad es que disfruto mucho la serie, si estás aburrido o no tienes nada que ver creo que es una muy buena idea verla. Creo que mi personaje favorito es Noey, es como un niño pequeño pero puedo apreciar que a veces intenta cambiar por Thi, en el siguiente capítulo que todavía no sale (el 7) puedo ver que empezará a esforzarse más y todo esto para demostrale a Thi que puede ser mejor. Thi es un personaje literalmente tonto pero no en el mal sentido, es muy gracioso y distraído, a veces ni siquiera parece la gran diferencia de edad que se tienen el uno al otro. No me gustaba mucho esta diferencia de edad y me negaba a verla pero una amiga me dijo que viera la serie y la verdad no me arrepiento, quiero ver como su historia crece y como el personaje de Noey madura en cada capítulo ?

PERFECTION

does no one understand that this show is satire? that's good bc it's a hallmark of good satire if no one notices.

nonetheless, its perfectly executed from cinematography to styling to acting to tropes. every second was entertaining to me.

like hello the lotus? and then he almost did the catch him falling trope but then just let him fall? and toey is a gangster???? hello in what universe? its inverted tropes all over the place

also, the music they do use I will never forget.
everything about it is perfect if you understand what they're doing. otherwise I could see why it's confusing

Good use of clichés. Quick Acceptance and Inconsistency.

The most important thing I care about in BL series is that the increase in the feelings of the characters for each other is embroidered and the audience is made to feel it. This series started really well, even with the strange behaviour of the character Thi, I generally enjoyed the first episodes. Since the series was generally good, I watched the first 8 episodes with great expectations and excitement. However, it did not meet my expectations with the description of love and BL part in the 8th episode and beyond.

----Spoiler-----

The thing that tore me away from the series, which I hate in most BLs, is the nonsense of falling in love at once. I want the love to slowly flare up and grow inside the characters and explode when it is no longer controllable.

Another thing I hate is when Noey says "actually you are better, I want you now" overnight and suddenly starts flirting.
Accepting being gay so quickly and acting like it's normal is nothing but "I'm only gay for you" bullshit.

This story could have been much more passionate and exciting by using the storytelling in the first episodes.

For example, in this series, Noey should have started to have feelings for Thi from the very first moment. In fact, all the signs he saw around him should have pointed to Thai and Noey should have realised this slowly.
If Noey's story was like this:
He realised that he was falling in love in a platonic way.
If he had run away in fear of the growing love within him (here he should be cold to Thi)
Then, if he couldn't escape his increasingly intense feelings and got closer to Thi and used everything around him as an excuse for this rapprochement, this series would be legendary.
Yes, it looks like clichés from a distance, but this series proved to us that it can handle clichés really well in the first 5 episodes. And there is also a reason why clichés are clichés.


AS ANOTHER WORD: This series hooked me very well with the first 7 episodes. Of course, there were scenes with nonsense and exaggerations, but hey, no one is looking for the perfect BL here. But we have seen a lot of BL similar to this style. the first half is good and the second half goes downhill, but still unforgettable.
But unfortunately I don't think this drama will be memorable because of Thi's character's inconsistent behaviour and undevelopable personality. In a series, if the cute character (uke in webtoon language) is not endearing enough to the audience (it can be endearing even if it is very aggressive, annoying), that series is not remembered much.

cute and funny

okay, okay. HEAR ME OUT

I didn't put much faith in them but this drama really surprised me.

First of all: Thi is so fucking annoying in the first few eps. Maybe I'm just tired of Thailand's over-the-top (and not necessarily good) performances, but I almost gave up watching it cuz of him. But I ended up letting it go.

Second, it's fucking weird for you to be a senior at college and give attention to a high school student. Idc if a younger one are being interested in older people, but it's weird when the older person gives back. I could ignore it a bit since they only started dating after Noey finished school, but still....

One point I really liked was Noey's relationship with his mother and sister, as well as his relationship with Thiw (that man (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠)). I feel that Thailand put aside family relationships and friendship a lot when the protagonists get to know each other, but there it was lovely.

It was the FIRST time a Thai "gangster" actually hit someone. I usually hate this 'bad boy' idea cuz they usually just talk and don't do shit.

Well, to conclude, I thought it was cute and funny. It was fun to watch, even if from ep 5 to 7 I thought about giving up, it was really cool.

PS: I thought it was really cute that Noey really stuck to his 80's style hahaha

Offbeat & quirky, but surprisingly heartfelt story..

The first couple episodes I was left scratching my head, but the great chemistry and performances of the 2 ML characters kept me watching.

I was pleasantly surprised by how this very quirky, awkward show managed to morph into such a sweet and touching love story between a high school delinquent and his college age tutor.

I also surprised myself by re-watching a few episodes only a few months after finishing the show. I don’t usually rewatch, but some of the scenes stuck in my head and I honestly missed this pair of cuties so much that I had to see them again.

This show is worth a watch- give it a chance♥️

The last few episodes threw me for a loop

When I started this drama I had a hard time watching it because there were a lot of awkwards scenes, but the last few episodes turned everything around.
First of all let's talk about the story. The story was very well made and I really enjoyed it. Even while skipping awkward scenes, (seeing how I literally hit myself when watching awkwardness I didn't think it was such a good idea to watch those) the story was still very easy to understand.
Like I said, the drama started out with a lot of awkward scenes. While I now understand why they were necessary, it still gave me a hard time watching this and it thus took me a very long time to actually finish this. I have to say that I even had the drama on dropped for a while there if I'm being entirely honest... But after a while I decided to start watching if again and boy am I glad I did.
Those last few episodes threw me for a whole ass loop. I went through 3 or 4 emotional rollercoasters. Especially the credits dancing scene from episode 11... That one actually made me cry, which I must say doesn't happen often.
Long story short, even though this drama started out very awkward, these were probably some of the best ending episodes I know.
Let's move on to the acting. The fact that the acting was so good that I could easily understand what the characters were feeling. Which is actually very hard to do. The only point in this serie where I thought the acting was awkward was the way noey's mum acted during the scene in episode 12 where noey asked thi to marry him. I found this very enjoying too look at, so if you get or got that far I recommend checking her out.
The rewatch value of this one was relatively low for me. I have a feeling like I'll rewatch the last episodes but probably not the rest because of the earlier told awkwardness. That's why made this one relatively lower.
The overall score is still high however, seeing how I really enjoyed watching this one.
Hope you have a nice day/night and I hope this was helpful. Goodbye??

Unusual Plot, Even Better

I'm very picky when it comes to BL series, but 'I Will Knock You' broke my ideal type of BL series. One of the main cast members here is violent, and the other is portrayed as not very bright. I completed watching this series back in February of this year (2023). Surprisingly, every time I search for another BL series to rewatch, 'I Will Knock You' is always on my top list, even though there are lots of other popular, highly-rated, and well-regarded BL series available. I can't explain why I keep coming back here. Maybe it just perfectly suits my taste or preferences. Who knows? Haha.

Ради концовки смотрите обязательно

Все серии я просто сидела и смеялась как ненормальная, а вот заключительную ревела половину серии. Все здесь не похожее ни на что другое. Было удивительно смотреть на абсолютно разных главных героев. Которые сближались, менялись и развивались. Удивительно потрясающий кастинг среди актеров и их игра. Тетя Тим (Fresh Arisara) просто отличная актриса, я ее фанат. Понравилась вся картина - природа, храмы, традиции и праздники. Как и Ти, не поняла в чем смысл драк и зачем они нужны, да еще порой доходили до уголовщины. Это единственное, что было лишним в этой истории. Особенно хочется выделить актеров: Та - этот парень 2004 г, как он потрясающе справился с ролью. Он был и школьником и взрослым парнем одновременно. Умничка. С Бома я вообще улетела. Так потрясающе отыграть заданный образ до последнего - это великолепно. Для кого-то может показаться слишком наивно и просто, и не стоит пересмотра, но я точно пересмотрю еще не раз.
