Unforgotten Night

Made me LMAO watching this

First of all, the acting, like wtf. Just in the episode 1 alone, the bed scene. I dont know what emotions theyre trying to invoke from the audience but dang I laughed so hard watching Kamol face and expression while he’s trying to whip Kim 😅 It’s like fifty shades of gray but Sesame Street’s version if you know what I mean.

Story is really interesting but it kinda got lost with the acting the fucked up musical score.
I mean, the piano background was so overdone, it’s giving me nightmares.
The cheesy ballads are so over dramatic you’d think youre watching titanic 😅

Overall I’d say it’s really hard to watch, you just want to get over it just so you know how it ends but youll never rewatch it for sure.

"Unforgotten Night" it's a BL drama about Kim and Kamol, who met and have a one night stand. Kim wanted to forget his crush and Kamol wanted to find a new person that would agreed to his "taste" in bed.

It's a drama that tries to follow a similar style to "KinnPorsche", but obviously it can't be as good, because it's a very difficult, almost impossible task. Kamol and Kim's relationship is interesting and holds your attention, but the biggest problem for me was Yoon's performance, he looked like a robot the whole time, without any expression.

And the drama also has some exaggerated moments and others that are quite dull. Kamol and Kim started with extreme intensity, but after episode 6, the moments between them change completely and are just light kisses, but then in episode 10 they return to bondage. It becomes difficult to follow, they should maintain a more consistent pace. And what was with Kamol's three security guards making out in episode 10?! I didn't understand anything. HAHAHAHA'

Not a must watch

The start of the series was fun; the tough dangerous maffia guy meets a sexy guy in a bar and have a exciting night and starts following the sexy guy around because he is the only person who can satisfy him in bed. What could be a more interesting and promising start!!

I expected passion and tension here; tough guys doing tough things, doing their work and business, getting a passionate and dangerous relationship. But after some episodes the tough guys turned out not to be tough and manly but sweet and soft, busy with their feelings and working on their relationship, petting their tiger, crying when they were hurt, saying nice things to their servants and friends, they were totally perfect. I did not realise that a maffia boss can be so sensitive and delicate. The story is so so, there are happening some things, but not really very interesting but also not very boring. The serie started with a hot scene, but ended with a kiss on the cheek, kind of kiss you give to your mother, very well behaved.
I did not like the acting, the boys looked handsome but it lacked emotions.

I finished the series so the serie is not too bad, but there are much better series then this one, for example rak dio.

Could have been a real good series.

This drama was for me really disappointing. I haven't been able to read the novel yet but even without that there are so many things that I just can't get over with this series.

First, the trailer gave the impression that it was going to be a steamy series. It doesn't mean that I only like that type of series but if you say BDSM at least deliver it enough to be allowed to mention it. It looked as if Kamool only liked rough sex sometimes but in the beginning he was frustrated about no man being able to handle it. That just doesn't make sense. In the beginning of the series Kamool was that rough that the man was covered in what looks like gashes yet somehow Kim only ends up with some hickeys.

Second, I really like the actor who plays the role of Kamool and love some of his previous series but this series was acting wise not my favorite. Not just from his side but also the actor who played Kim. It really felt superficial. Their portrayal of the emotions of the characters was not great. Was it awful? No not really. I have read some other reviews and agree with them that the actor's seem to not know what was exactly expected from them. Like they were given the script the day of shooting and were told to wing it.

Third, I am a person who loves a BL even when the budget is low and the sex scenes are scarce. Why? Because when the actors can show a real good chemistry it can save a series even when they barely have any kiss scenes or even have when they have no kiss scenes. In the beginning of this series their chemistry was, in my personal opinion, the best. I don't know how long they had the time to prepare but it feels that they barely had any workshops together before shooting. I think that with some more time this series could have been a lot better.

I probably will rewatch this one time just to see if I could see something that can save this series for me or if I have skipped something important when I was watching it but after that probably not.

Series completed

Just finished this series and while I agree that it is no way one of the best, I must state that I have seen worse tha this. Matter of fact, I'm still watching it, counting down for it to end because I already know what rating I am going to give it.

This series, unlike the next one, I knew what the plot was and was able to follow it (it was a week one, but still).

And yes the acting and the script was not one of yhe best and I got annoyed at the ending, but I can still say, it was still better than what I am watching that still has not one, but TWO episodes remaining.

It had very, very, VERY few good parts (one that comes to mind is the acceptance of Kim and Kamol's relationship from Kim's parents, especially the dad).

Overall, I give this series an A for effort. But my final official rating is 3.5/10. And yes, this is actually higher compared to what I am going to give the next BL that I am currently watching.

Nothing more than a meme material!

This series is rated 18+ not because of the graphic and sexual scenes but for the mental torture this series happens to be!

When the trailer dropped for this series, I reckoned acting and direction will not be its strongest suit, but still, I was hoping for a better plot.
But when the first episode dropped, all hell broke loose. It was awful! I still decided to go on, but now 4 episodes , in, nothing makes sense.

Bad acting and poor directing skills overshadow anything that might be good in it.

I am still scratching my head for who thought this series is worthy of airing. The cast has no chemistry whatsoever. It is like they are being forced to work with each other.
Yoon should not have played Kamol. He does not make a good mafia character. I am sorry to his fans but his acting is awful in this series! The actor that plays Kim is not good either. Everyone is either overacting or is stiff during the scenes.

Their kissing scenes and intimate scenes are straight-up cringy. I rather stick a fork in my eyes than watch them awkwardly kiss. The direction is so bad! A teenager would have done a better job.

The story doesn't seem worthy either. Overall this series is a new definition of BAD in Thai bl.

Dollar store Vegas-Pete

Aren't they embarrassed to air this while KP was airing?

I wrote a review about Kinn-Porsche saying that it was basically fetish porn disguised as mafia drama and it was not up to my standards. Well, this one is also disguised (unsuccessfully) as mafia drama, the fetish part was clearly written/executed by someone who knows nothing about BDSM and there was exactly ZERO chemistry between the super toxic (as usual) relationship between the protagonists.

Basically if you have watched 50 shades of Grey prepare yourself for something like that, but worse.

So the main character consists of Kim, a guy who was rejected by someone he was in love with and decided to have a one night stand with Kamol (the mafia boss), without knowing who he is. Afterwards, Kamol becomes obsessed with Kim, declares him the person he has always been searching for and basically acts like Vegas acted with Pete. The problem is that there is NOTHING about Kim that would explain Kamol's obsession.

Unlike KP (especially the novel), that progressively shows multiple rare qualities in Pete (empathetic, good looking, intelligent, loyal, good fighter etc), Kim is the most boring, annoying and avoidant person possible, who treats Kamol like shit most of the time and is clearly not attracted to him. There is zero chemistry between them and after enduring 5 episodes, it's time for me to throw in the towel, because this nonsense isn't getting any better.

Kamol in return, acts like an abuser and stalker who practically forces Kim to live with him. As if all that wasn't enough, there is an annoying, bitchy and unprofessional female ''rival'', who wants Kamol for herself.

To the loser authors: in order for someone to be an interesting rival, there has/had to be something going between them and their love interest. Kamol never wanted this woman and she justs end up acting delusional and repulsive and adds nothing to the plot.

The soundtrack is also so awful, that I had to mute it at times and I have never done this before, although I have watched many BLs.

Don't even bother with this nonsense drama.

Popcorn Drama. Nothing more, nothing less.

I highly debated rating this series 6.0 because the story was a mess from beginning to end and the chemistry just wasn't there for me. Could Yoon and Ton be anymore awkward/uncomfortable together? And man both the kissing scenes and the NC scenes were laughable. But I digress. Ultimately I went with a 6.5 because I realized as much as the story made me scratch my head many many times I didn't hate it as much as I originally thought I would. I found something funny in every episode while that was intentional or not, I had a fun time watching. Unlike Enchante,(the only other series I've rated 6.5) I didn't find the story dreary or any of the characters unlikable. I pretty much enjoyed all of them, esp if I saw them as parodies. The characters often didn't make sense but I could understand as long as I still found the situation funny, which I did. The cast did the best they could even if I felt all of them could have done better: Yoon: cough.

There were times I felt like I was watching a Mexican Telenovela which again ramped UN up in the entertainment value. And that's why I call this a popcorn drama. It's mindless entertainment set to make people have a good time, forget troubles and despite it's flaws Unforgotten Night did that. I'm gonna miss this chaos for that reason. Now what am I gonna watch to laugh at? And enjoy? I guess time will tell.

I hope Unforgoten Night serves as a sample of what not to do in a series, while not as bad as Check Out it could have been so much better. The production really dropped the ball on this one.

Why not BDSM for a change :)

The Cast: Ton Saran Anantasatthakul as Kim (aka the “Sub”) is relatively new in acting and even though his play is not ready for an Oskar, he does fit the role. I like that he is independent, comes from a good, loving family, has a good job and friends. Why is that important? Because often for BDSM roles the plot revolves around “broken” or at least “damaged” characters.
I like the storyline that revolves around him. It seems realistic: He is heartbroken, he seems to be sick of it and wants to go back to normal. There comes this mysterious man who offers him a way out. “Can you make me forget his hug?” - sometimes a new experience can definitely help. (But outside of a drama plot you should NEVER just go with someone you never met before! Bad idea!!!)
Yoon Phusanu-Wongsavanischakorn as Mr. Kamol the Mafia Business Owner (aka “the Top”). He is not so fresh to acting anymore. I don’t want to go to much in detail about their acting, cause for this show we can agree it’s not top noch, still enjoyable, that goes for Ton as well as for Yoon. Let’s talk about his role as Mr. Kamol:
I did read some bad review on his part, because of his physic and way of acting that does not fit the description in the Novel. I did not read the Novel, so I cannot compare that but I think it is also very cliché that a “Top” in BDSM has to be super muscular, heavier, taller or whatever to be good. A lot in BDSM can be just psychological and has nothing to do with physical dominance.
So I like him being not so muscular and more on the mind-game side. Mr Kamol is someone who has learned that he can achieve anything if he sets his mind to it. He is ruthless in his business and used to get whatever he wants. In the little private time he has, he wants to follow his passion and find someone who fits his needs.
So in the bar he sees that pretty boy and just goes for it.
Now I jump over the BDSM Play that we get to see on the first episode. There was already a lot said about what a bad display it is of BDSM. But I think: a) Who did really think we’re going to see a real BDSM Play? B) There is no right or wrong in Sexplay.
As long as it’s safe, both want it and enjoy it everything is good. So I find it a bit pointless to talk wether this was a good example of BDSM play or not.
What was good so was the fact that Mr. Kamol made sure that Kim is not drunk and really wants to try whatever he is going to do. He obviously is not a good person. But I’m happy with him being all about consensual sex. He is also not letting uncontrolled emotion out on Kim. He seems to enjoy BDSM just because it is his preference.
Kims reaction is also realistic. And fun to watch.
Now let’s talk about their chemistry: I really like it! It’s all about their eyes. I totally agree that the kissing is well - we saw better kissing. But the looks they give each other are really enticing. I hope to see more of that.
They are very blunt to each other. I’m quite annoyed of the same misunderstandings we get to see in a lot of BL series, because no one talks about what hey really want. Here we have Mr. Kamol: “I like you - come and live with me.” , and Kim: “Are you nuts? Who wants to get involved with a mafia? Leave me alone.” - well that does not work of course.

What about privacy rights?
Mr. Kamol is kind of a stalker. His behavior is not okay in the real world. As for my part: I’m here for the show. I like the dynamic. But that is up to preference.

Side couples: So far I see two side couples. Kim’s best friend De or Day who broke is heart and is now happy in love with his boyfriend Ith. They are a cute couple. I hope we learn a bit more about their relationship and what actually Day’s job is. Cause he seems to have a connection with Mr. Kamol.
The other one could maybe be the first Assistant of Mr. Kamol and the nephew of the head housekeeper (sorry I forgot their names). Let’s see what happens there.

And I cannot forget the two lady’s working with Kim in the office. I LOVE them. They really bring a lot of Charme to the plot.

The Mafia side of things.: Well it’s not “The Godfather “ and I don’t know anything about mafia in Thailand, so I cannot say a lot about this. Their is a story though and that’s good. We actually see Mr. Kamol working a lot! Obviously he wants to build a new casino and is fishing for Investors while his opponent Denai is doing the same. ( This side character is a bit comical ) They basically try to steal this project for themselves and using mafia-style methods to do so.

The conclusion: It’s just episode four, so there is way to go to say where this show ends up. I had no expectation whatsoever and I guess this is why I like it. The idea of the story is better than the execution in some parts, but overall it is consistent.
We have a Main Couple with good chemistry, a storyline that makes me want to see more and every character in the drama has a unique side to them. They really add to the story.
For me: 8.5 out of 10.

Edit follows after the series ended.
