It was almost a year ago when I made my heist BL wish, and I'm really hoping Jack & Joker hits my cute boy crime shenanigans sweet spot.
But wow, did I enjoy this first episode.
They are not messing around with their critique of systemic oppressions. Subtle? No. Entertaining as hell? Yes!
We have Joke, who is creative and clever and has a strong sense of justice, but he grew up in a household where love is deeply conditional, and dependent on traditional societal markers of success.
And we have Jack, who is such a sweet sunshine boy, even after life gives him hit after hit, but the hits just keep coming, because poverty is a prison - not because of the lack of money itself, but because of what that lack of money means in how others treat you.
They are both too small for the fights they are trying to fight. Because they've been fighting alone. But maybe in future...
Other thoughts:
Goddamn that YinWar chemistry is as strong as ever.
I feel like both of them have leveled up acting-wise.
I'm no martial arts expert, but Yin looked good in those scenes.
Rose chattering away, oblivious to the gay flirting happening right behind her was comedy gold.
Please tell me Carbon comes back and they fuck him up.
I had no idea Dome composed! The intro for this series slaps, good job dude!
