Dark. Haired. Anti... That is it šš„µ
i dont know if anyone mentioned this, but thinking about that last scene of Anti finally coming thru the camera, passing all of the bodies of the iris workers he literally just killed and introducing himself to chase and like. if that was the point where anti was corporeal/chase finally saw him in person, like can you just imagine how terrifiedĀ Ā Chase mustāve been to see all those people drop like flies basically out of nowhere beforehand?Ā
Something you canāt see just decimating everyone around you as you remain the last person alive somehow. only to have the thing you had just tried to warn them about,Ā very thing that has been haunting you for so long, that feeling of absolute dread and horror personified literally looming over you. greeting you with a simple hello and a smile.
After finishing The Killers Heart episode in a proper watch where I could see it in all it's glory (which means uninterrupted and in the big screen with no one around) I can say I had SO MUCH FUN.
Kant and Bison hadn't really caught my attention until today's ep, and Fadel and Style continue being such interesting characters I cat help but be all šā¼ļøabout themselves and their interactions.
What I feel also allows me to really turn my brain off (in a suspension of disbelief sense) on here and enjoy what the show's offering is that:
1) I started this with zero expectations (literally, not good, not bad, nothing, just went with it) and as the show progresses I get more and more interested in it. I still have no expectations as where the story is going, there are things I would like to see character-wise, but from the story I have no ideaaaa, I'm just a witness so far.
2) The tone of the show really does feel like a comedy, in the classical sense of the word, where It does not mean that it will be comical.
Comedies are about absurds, situations out of the ordinary, that often lead to contrived situations that yeah, might cause you to laugh because they're ridiculous, but they don't stop taking themselves serious about what happens within them, and the absurd can also lead to absurd tragedies: over the top, messy, but tragedies nonetheless. So in terms of the genre I feel it's quite true to itself (and I love it when that happens)
3) The characters are so well balanced it's āØchef kissesāØ.
What I mean about this it's that I don't feel any character has the upper hand over the rest, they're all on the same ground, albeit in very different directions.
When it comes to messy relationships I enjoy it a lot more when all parts are equally fucked up (see Big Dragon) rather when the messiness or toxicity comes from only one of the characters to the other.
This is literally a comedia de enredos (comedy of entanglements?) in all the ways, every character has something to hide and it's creating a web of misunderstandings one above the other, the assassin settings just adds a tad bit more of risk to the overall experience.
Kant is lying through his ass, Bison is masterfully making everyone believe he's an innocent little guy but Kant knooows he and his brother have killed people and YET send Style to pester Fadel without telling him and now Style is really intrigued to what Fadel is hiding and he's gonna take whatever it takes to find out while Fadel just wants a break but it's pretty conscious he's still an assassin and it's also jumping around between those realities and aha aha aha aha.
4) Finally, I'd say that overall and above everything else, what I enjoy the most in anything is congruence.
I like it when something it's set up and then followed through, I like it when characters act in ways that make sense for them, and I like it when stories are earnest and stay true to their genre.
It's only ep 3, but I really like the bases and conflicts it's setting up to, and the way it's executing them so far has been pretty coherent within what we've been shown.
So yeah, unironically enjoying the ride in more ways than what I expected to! Let's see how this one develops š«“āØ
āWe need to leave. Iāve been here beforeā
Youāve been here before? Mmm
I wonder where youāve seen it before

I mean hot damnšš¤¤ā¤
Ah yes, the long awaited THK Wednesday has arrived and with it, a new episode. Once again, it delivers a nice a little episode, a more laid back one in comparison to last weekās BDSM scene, FadelStyle NC scene, and so on. I loved the vibes of todayās episode and without further ado, letās jump right into.
Review:
So Iām still figuring out how I want to format my reviews, just bear with me guys š. But anyway, to start off, we finally boyfriend conformation from both sides! I would say congrats if this wasnāt The Heart Killers and we all know how itās gonna go down. Another praise of the show is I like how messy itās making everything. Itās clearly showing the audience the messy web that itās spinning, how everyone is deceiving and lying to one another that makes it feel very so real, unfortunately. Itās miracle how itās been able to balance campy and uncomfortable realism so well. Like Kantās character, for example, finds new ways to make me fall in love with him. You understand why heās doing what heās doing while also watching him fall deeper in love for Bison that conflicting with his goals. And it makes the audience struggle of which path he should take; if he chooses Bison, he loses his brother and freedom. If he chooses his brother, he loses Bison and what it means to love someone like that. Itās uncomfortable, tense, and I love it.
Same with all the characters. Bison showing more signs heās not as naive and cutesy as he pretends to be and if that preview for the next episode has anything to say, itās that were finally going to see more of this cold blooded killer side. We did get to see more of that side today and I like how the show is taking its time with showing that to us. Saw a little bit last week with Bisonās sadistic tendencies in bed and now today with his jealousy and threats to Kant before he switches to his more nicer side. The beginning being hilarious, little side tangent. The little side vigilante mission they went on was also very cute, a close call from Captain, but otherwise a great little scene that helped to deepen their bond. Till they finally made it official as boyfriends. Now, I definitely think Kant likes Bison. Probably more than he should as we can see whenever heās been genuine through his facial expressions. When heās apprehensive about something, his face will show it as will whenever heās being genuine and caring about Bison. Also showing that when he had those flashbacks in the shower. He likes the man and he knows he shouldnāt because now, his goals, his freedom and his brother are at risk. Itās all going to be so awesome to see unravel next week.
The scene between them in the forest, disregarding the kitchen scene and the scenes of him missing Style, were an awesome build up to the scene in the woods. We know very well that he couldāve killed Style anytime he wanted and hell, heās probably thought about it more than once. That was until he started getting curious about him. Then the infamous self-fun scene in Ep. 2 came out, where his curiosity turned into lust. Then that lust exploding into fruition in last weekās episode where he slept with Style, hoping to get it out of his system when he knew deep down heād probably want more just as much as Style. The same Style who, show cased as being a playboy and only down for hookups, was legitimately hurt that he was ānailed and bailedā in his words. I like how even though he tries to pass if off, heās hurt with Fadel treating it like nothing, where now, heās invested in the man before he was told that heās an assassin. Before that, he made it clear that heās cares now about Fadel, wanting to learn more about him and be there with him more, stating these thoughts and emotions in the warehouse in the woods. That scene was so well done. The vulnerability from Fadel, the intent listening from Style. You can see Style a little on edge before Fadel grabs him, then his face and guard falling the more he listens to Fadel rant about his feelings. His face turns from caution to understanding, leaning in to kiss Fadel and confirm his own feelings by saying āItās ok to love.ā (Screamed at this part) And Fadel? Joong never fails to impress. The way he just rants about his feelings, how he hates that Style has made him this way, how he hates that he misses Style. This is first time in the series that I think we get to see that crack in his shell, his mask slipping for a brief second as he lets all this come out and for a second, we see the caring man we was once before his life got in the way and molded him into putting up such high walls. And when Style tells him that, his face soft for the first time ever, he embraces Style not because he has to but because he wants to. Thereās no excuse of wanting to let it out or to get Style off his back. He WANTS Style. He WANTS to have him, embrace, to care about him. The NC scene feeling so much more passionate, tender, and real than last week. Both sides giving into each other completely, opening up their walls for each other, even if for a little. I loved it so much, the acting from both sides incredible and the chemistry off the charts that gives KantBison a run for their money.
Overall, had fun with this episode like usual. With the way things are going, the slow buildup to eventual catastrophe soon to come will be great to see, well story wise. The acting was fun per usual and we got to see some great character moments despite the more laidback setup of the episode. Love how the plot is still progressing, my only complaint is that I hope we get to see more Mother and Keen moments as I know they are going to be somewhat responsible for the downfall of our characters. Thatās all I had for today, give the episode an 8/10. Thanks for reading this far and hope you great rest of your day/night!
Until next time.
