Hey guys. I know, itās been a fresh minute since Iāve used this blog, well besides for looking at posts without doing some of my own. Trust, I plan to fix that starting today. Donāt expect super frequent posts as I am still in school (cries in final exams) but I do want to be more active here, especially regarding some works I have cooking that I want to share as well as shows I want to rant about. Which brings us to todayās icebreaker, the recent Heart Killers BL series.
And my thoughts so far? I honestly am in love with this series. Might be one of my favorite off all time so far, and thatās saying something coming from a Kinnporsche glazer, rightfully so that series is also incredible. So Iām going to rant about the episodes so far and some other topics Iāve seen floating around the show. So strap in cause I got quite a few things to saw if youāre interested.
EP. 1 - Great start to the series in my opinion. I loved the character intros and all of them are perfect to showing the audience that these are not good people. Extremely morally grey and paints the way to great character development. Makes them more realistic, as people in real life are often morally grey as well, dirty and complex, just like these characters. Brings an element of realism to an otherwise campy and sometimes goofy show about assassins and deceit. Also yes, have to talk about the KantBison scene. Now, I havent watched too much of their work, only pieces from their shows, but from I could see they had great chemistry and itās on full display here. Their scene was passionate, raw. Another praise to give to the show is how openly sexual it is and I love it. Also loved the dynamics theyāve at that point, Bison being the dreamer, Fadel the reluctant, older brother who does what he thinks is best, Style an annoying but lovable diva, and Kant, a liar whoās doing it for the greater good of his brother. The tension as well between Fadel and Style, chefās kiss. Canāt wait to see one of them break. Overall, had a great time with the first episode.
EP. 2 - Have to say, the most campy episode so far. But Iām not complaining, Style of course being the reason for this. I got to say, usually I hate characters like this, the overly annoying ones to smother and donāt respect boundaries, so Iām shocked to find that Style is still as lovable to me as ever. I think itās because of the added subtext that at first, heās only really doing this for his best friend and his car. So heās doing it with the benefit of the reward after. Itās messed up and keeps up with the theme of toxicity in this show. And itās also hilarious to see Fadel have the patience of a saint and put up with his shenanigans. Hell, even giving him money for his products he ādumped.ā The tension between the two is great and got even better during the sauna scene. So many thoughts for that, super hot. It showed Fadel being the most giving to Style since they first met, makes sense since that only happens when the two are alone. He leans into his touch almost, closes his eyes and just lets himself feel Styleās hand on him. At least, till Uncle comes in and ruins it. Style basically being the āRicky, when I catch you Rickyā to him was hilarious. Till we go to the unconsensual kiss. Now, again, makes sense character wise since Style has been described as shameless in his attempts to pursue someone but I like how the show portrays it as something thats still not right. I love that the show isnāt afraid to delve into heavy subjects like this and still manage to portray them in a bad light without romanticizing them like other BL shows. It fits the tone of the series perfectly and I love it. Especially when we got to the end of the episode of Fadelās fun time to himself. Hot as well, shame we lost a soldier so early. The post nut clarity hitting him hard afterward also made me chuckle out loud. Itās ok, weāve all have our rough days. The Kant and Bison stuff was also very sweet, Kant paying off his friend to flirt with Bison to make it more convincing to him is a level of dedication I canāt even hate on. Proud of my toxic boy. Love how theyāre still learning to trust each other, more Bison to Kant really, showing that heās not as naive as some might think. Again, had fun with this episode as well as canāt wait for the next.
EP. 3 - Wow, def need to touch some grass after this episode. Here I thought nothing would top the Fadel fun time scene last episode but here we are. Now, there is a lot to say about this episode as got a good amount of info this time. We got introduced to āMotherā who is actually worse than I expected her to be. Itās clear that she doesnāt give a damn about these boys (at least so far), merely using their āloveā as a means of manipulation to have the boys blindly follow her orders and take our her enemies. Reminds me of Tony from Pitbabe just gender bent. Showing the outsider brother, sorry I forgot his name at the moment, clearly being set up as a foil for the assassin brothers and Iām interested to see where they take him. Also, lore drop on Fadel? So boy wasnāt just rightfully paranoid, he lost an ex bf in this line of work and poor boy doesnāt want the same happening for his brother. Makes sense since at the beginning of the episode, he covered for Bison and lied about him seeing someone. Another cute brotherly moment besides from the one later one where he tells Bison heāll help him get out of this so he can have a normal life. I swear, I love these two so much. And of course, more Style annoying Fadel, my favorite pastime. Jk but Fadel being used to it at this point is hilarious. Also loved how Style went to help Fadel and then proceeding to make the boy nervous when he changed into the uniform in the kitchen. Like Style, if only you knew the true effect you had over this boy. Fadel was practically drooling at the mouth looking away from him to stop getting horny. More cute scenes between Kant and Bison but unfortunate when Kant had to report back to Captain who suggests getting into their home instead. Mission failed successfully? (Iykyk). The club scene with Fadel was amazing, Style is right when he says that heās handsome to be making like that on the side. But when he started imagining he was in fron of Fadel instead of the woman? Theyāre literally soulmates your honor, two minds think alike. Interesting though that after Fadel saved him from those three after the club, heās switches on wanting to sleep with him to actually wanting to know more about him. His suspicions opposite to Kantās, who wants to date Bison for the reason of staying out jail, to Style, who actually wants to know more about Fadel, what makes him tick and to let his walls down. So makes sense when they finally have sex, heās not enjoying as much as he wouldāve before he changed his goal about him. The whole sex scene actually, while still good, feels underwhelming for those two and it should be. Fadelās doing it because he claims itāll get Style off him, which lets be fr, heās dying for that cookie since that last episode, so he feels this is mandatory and not into it as much as he would be if he actually vulnerable with Style. To which Style picks up on. He looks attentive, not as in the moment as one think he would be because he knows Fadel isnāt doing this because he really likes Style but because he feels like he has to. Itās more interesting than it is erotic and I love how the direction for that scene was. And the punch to Style after? Much deserved cause I did not like that whole grief club scene. Maybe to was to further hit home that Style isnāt a good person or maybe this foreshadowing for something, idk. Iām not a fan and it seems Iām not the only one. However, I canāt say the same for the ending of the show. The BDSM scene. Now the show is filled with triggers, stated that very early on, as early as the trailers so this didnāt surprise me too much. The roofing however, was interesting but makes sense since Kant needs to get more evidence at their house. But when the tables flipped, it catches him off guard. Him clearly hesitant and somewhat scared at first but not saying anything cause heās far in to give up now. But to him starting to melt into and possibly feeling good was another level of spice I welcomed. I have so much more to say but maybe Iāll save that for after the series is over for a full analysis.
Overall, the series is so much fun and entertaining, the level of tension, incoming angst and storytelling is all wonderfully done and it leads me to being excited for the next coming week and how theyāre going to redeem this band of morally grey men. Thatās what character development is for. If they started out as goody two shoes then the show would be boring. The element of realism in the toxicity and deceit all these characters have is honestly whatās setting up for some amazing drama to come and it boggles my mind that some people are using that reason to drop the show. The show was very clear that it would go into some heavy subject matter and people hating the show on that are the reason we canāt have nice things. I understand not wanting to watch the show due to some of its triggers but calling the show ābadā because of these reasons is absolutely ridiculous. There are other shows who try to go into this subject matter but donāt have the good writing Heart Killers have to pull it off. Sorry for the rant but had to get it off my chest.
All in all, watch the series if you can handle the heavy subject material as itās definitely worth the watch. And donāt if you donāt! We all have our preferences but donāt hate something when it isnāt finished yet please. Letās spread love, not hate. But I think Iāve all I wanted to say. Canāt wait till next week cause the show is getting good.
See you all in the next post, my marvels. Bye!
my first official post on here. happy anniversary KJS! canāt wait to see whatās in store
JSE Community Greet
Preferred name: Yamilla or Milla (whichever is easier)
Preferred pronouns: she/her
When did you start watching JSE?
I remember first coming around the channel around early 2016, before the whole ego craze started with Anti. My friends introduced to him one night and I fell in love with his personality and gameplay style ever since. It only increased when he started the whole Anti thing in October. Had no idea who Anti was š
Why did you start watching JSE?
I started watching him because I really enjoyed his personality as he was really fun to watch and listen to when I had a bad day. My friends and I would geek out about the Anti appearances and was overall a lot of fun. But then when I go thigh school, my friend circle fell apart and had no one to talk to about his videos, ego related or not, and I became super busy with school and sports. Stopped watching him for some time but then got back in 2018 during the ego Mayhem. However, in December, I left again due to schedule being too busy. Proud to say I re-entered the community in April of 2022 and dont plan on leaving again any time soon.
What's your favourite things about the channel?
Obviously the ego stuff but also his meme time playlist and the analog horror reactions.
Do you have a fave ego?
Two, actually. Anti is my top for now, donāt judge Iām a sucker for villains, and Jackieboy Man, even though we have no canon content of himš But donāt worry I have feeling weāll be getting some soon. š
What type of community member are you? (lurker/artist/theorist/editor/shitposter/author etc)
Always been a theorist but recently became an editor on Tiktok. Sometimes an occasional writer of a short story, nothing massive. Maybe I should post some on here, idk.
What else do you enjoy?
I enjoy going out with friends, drawing, writing, editing, Marvel, horror movies, movies in general, working out and playing sports, spending time with family, or just relaxation with myself every now and then.
Are you open to nice messages and new friends?
Always. Iām always happy to make new friends and talk to people, especially when it comes to this kind of stuff. So DMās are always open!

New Drama Alert - Weak Hero Class 1 (Status: Finished)
Alright chat, letās have a chat (haha, Iām sorry). So new post series alert. In this post, Iām going to rant about a kdrama all social media talks about when it comes to great dramas; Weak Hero Class 1. Just finished today since I got inspired by Study Group, a new drama Iāll post about later, and damn. Do I have to say, I was not disappointed. Expectations exceeded actually. Was actually bawling my eyes out a little bit ago, still kinda am, and just from that rare occurrence when watching a kdrama, an automatic 10/10 for me. But seriously, I need to rant about this show and its arcs, writing, just everything. So Iām not stop wasting time and yap to help cope with the emotional damage this show left me.
Weak Hero Class 1 Review
1. Introduction - Right from the start, Sieun slamming a book against someone was an amazing start to the series. Great hook, and great misleading character introduction for him. At least, thatās what you think when you first meet him after the intro. But another great this show does is the set up. As this little crash out was just gonna be pay off for the character arc later. And gosh, what genius writing. Also introducing my favorite, Suho, another misleading character intro as we see him sleeping in class and not caring about school. Even though it is using the typical kdrama bully trope, the show finds a way to make it fresh and not feel repetitive in future episodes. Great setup and great introduction again.
2. Writing - Again, let me glaze, but the writing in this show is incredible. One of the best Iāve seen in kdrama so far. This show excels in emotional writing and relationship writing that makes the audience feel attached to these characters while also making each character feel unique with their own personality. Hell, sometimes even the villains get a bit of the spotlight, even if they are just obstacles and setup for future characters. But, another thing I love is how everyone in this show is gray, morally wise. No one here is 100% good nor bad, their home lives and past setting up to make them understandable but not excusable from their actions later on. How it shows and poses questions of what it means to take it too far, how much pain you can take before you say enough and that just because you were hurt doesnāt make it right to dish it out on others, especially your friends. So when our favorite characters does something bad, we of course shout at them no but we understand why theyāre doing it. All around, fantastic writing as it takes such a tired out and simple bully concept and finds a way to tell an engaging story about insecurity, pain, and morally questionable themes.
3. Characters - By god, have I never felt so horrible for such a set of characters. Like please, give my boys a break. Especially for Beomseok. And now, Iām going to defend my boy since Iāve been seeing a lot of hate for the character. Now, what he did was inexcusable, terrible. Iām denying that and neither is anyone else in the show. Itās goes back to one of my praises about the show; accountability for its characters. Both from the law and the characters themselves. Beomseok is someone not introduced till episode 2, and we see him as a very shy, quiet kid who keeps to himself. Or at least tries to till the bullies get a hold of him and start pushing the kid around like they did Sieun. But when Suho and Sieun come to his rescue, he still feels hesitant to hang around them, till Suho starts making him feel welcomed and part of the group. Then, they get into some trouble with a gang and Beomseokās first choice is to just pay the money and get it over with. But his friends say they wanna catch him and lock him up for good, and we see him fighting back against it. Now, the audience may start to see him as a coward and theyāre right. I did at this point, even when he goes back on their plan to just give them money, especially if it meant that Suhoās life was at stake. Then, the trio get into trouble, Suho and him get taken, and now theyāve beaten the gang leader and got him thrown in jail along with his associates. Still, Beomseok doesnāt too thrilled about it, and we see why when he gets home to his father who finds out the news and pays the police to keep it under wraps. And, sensitive content, but the little moment of just the punishment his piece of shit father gives him changes everything we know about Beomseokās character. The complete perspective shift was well done and jarring to saw the least. Now we as an audience understand why heās the way he is. Heās not a coward, heās terrified of his father finding out and beating him for trying to make things right. For bringing attention to himself when his father told him to stay low. How heās practically opposed to making friends or having people know him in fear of his father. So when he goes off the rails, does the bad shit, betrays his friends when he gets a moment of revenge against his bullies from the same people who bullied him, he feels accepted, completely buying into the venom the other bullies spilled about him being Suhoās gofer.
Also wanna talk about people saying āAll this over Suho not following him on Insta.ā It wasnāt about the Insta following, it was about Beomseokās insecurity getting the best of him and telling him that Suho was looking down on him and didnāt think he was good enough to follow him back. Remember, Beomseokās character is all about impressions, how people view him. The first person to ever notice him didnāt bully him and actually treated him like a friend. So when, he doesnāt see that he followed him, but he followed a girl and was paying more attention to her after just barely meeting her, the thoughts in head started to spill lies. I can relate to him in that, but of course, I didnāt nearly kill anyone over this. But Beomseokās character was a ticking time bomb. The kid was bullied so much that he had to transfer and get therapy for it, starts gettig bullied at his new school about it, then if he tries to ask his father for help, heāll just get beaten for it. Heās abused everywhere, no wonder the kid went off the rails when given the chance. All the years of abuse, emotional degradation and self-hatred pilling on with no support or outlet, Beomseok finally snapped. Kids like him unfortunately sometimes go down this path as they feel some sense of control and validation through putting down others. He unironically became the people that treated him like shit, that pushed him down his path. His character really is the saying āHurt people hurt people.ā But when he sees Suho not moving, the fog over his brain lifts and he sees through the glass clearly. And the way he breaks, everything crumbling around him was just heartbreaking. At the end of the day, he was a kid who needed proper reassurance, as all of this was due to miscommunication, insecurity and harsh reality.
But another character I wanted to rant about was Sieun and his fantastic character arc. How he went from the quiet boy to total badass was greatly written. Itās first established how smart he is, shown by how heād rather study than talk to people and how great his grades are. I love this also goes into his personality and what makes him tick, as his parents have never really paid attention to him, not even his academic accomplishments. So heās like, whatās the point in trying to make friends since no one really cares for me or what Iāve accomplished? Then Suho shows up and throws all that out the window. Suho was the first person in his life to really care for him, regardless of his grades or not. His first ever friend. Someone that stayed even when he tried to push him away. So when Suho nearly dies, his friend who cared for him and fought for him, he breaks. He crashes out and goes to get revenge just Suho would do for him. Taking what he learned from him to strike fear into the bullies and make them pay for they did. Really and truly this time. I love how it shows that while Sieun may not have the fighting skills that Suho does, heās damn smart enough to make up for it. Using the environment and his smarts to his advantage when it comes to fight was such an ingenious way of making strong without making him a copy of Suho. It made his fighting style unique and in the ending episode, shows how he combined his knowledge with his fighting that gave him the under hand and victory against even an experienced UFC fighter. The arc of him standing up for himself and not being closed off anymore makes him one of the best kdrama characters in the genre. Of course, Suho was amazing as well, acting like a sort of shield and guardian for the others, even apologizing and trying to make Beomseok see reason after what Sieun tells him. That understanding someone and what theyāre going through can make a difference. Letās just pray that he wakes up next season.
4. Acting - Phenomenal. Absolutely brilliant. Brought me to tears, laughter, anger, all the emotions. The 7th episode was enough to make me bawl on its own. Just from the amazing chemistry between and them really getting the audience to be invested in their characters and relationships so when the emotional stuff happens, you feel the distraught emotions they feel as well. They made it feel so real and so fun to watch and I couldnāt be more happy with the cast theyāve presented to use today.
Overall, this show was a fantastic watch. One of the best shows, just in general, that Iāve ever watched. The story and writing make it engaging from the start and find a way to use a simple concept and make it exciting with new obstacles and writing that keep the audience hooked. If not the writing, then the characters themselves are enough to make you feel like part of the gang and cry with them when it all goes to hell. Highly recommend and give this one a try if you have time. But that does it for me, hope enjoyed this longgg ass tangent. Just had to get it off my list since it was so good.
Until next time, bye!
