I just cant take the mafia guy seriously
Im sorry but why do they keep hiring kids to act in everything? I wish we'd get a more mature couple or at least mature looking couple. Like for example in PitBabe, Pavel is young but can look really serious and treatening. This show kinda reminds of KinnPorsche but in KP MileApo are more mature and i can take them seriously, it does feel like mafia show and i was scared a lot that somwthing will happen.This show is mafia for children. I dont like main guy at all, he doesnt look treatening whatsoever.
Topic is good, idea is good, just cast needs to be more mature.
Someone said show is spicy but except for one scene im the opening episode, nothing happened yet (ep 6).
I dont understand why Kim is so much against giving a chance to the other guy when he willingly slept with him, and then next day they made it seem like he was drunk (he was confused when he woke up in hotel, he was confused by his bruises)..
ALSO that tiger tattoo is the worst thing I've ever seen 🤮🤮🤮
PS can people stop rating everything 10/10? I see this on every drama. Realistically, how can this be a 10?! I assume people rating are children or only now getting into BL so they are amused by everything

SPOILERS.
Honestly, most of what im reading is negative. I personally found this very addicting, but there was a few things i didn't like.1) Kamol had nobody, yet suddenly Ethan and Danil come in and Danil's Kamol's adopted brother, yet they would have sex?
2) PLOT HOLES
3) In episode ten, the three bodyguards suddenly had a threesome for "plot." There was nothing with this after the fact, and I think there should have been some follow up or side story to Kamol and Kim's.
4) How Cherry and Danai called eachother "siblings."
5) Just how fast Cherry switched from "Danai and Kamol's informant" to just Kamol's.
There were limited things I enjoyed. The music was top teir, though I couldn't find it.

Good but...
It's good but ... i'm disappointed that nothing happened with baiboon and khom... they could have made a special episodes for them... and sometimes i wasn't sure if it was a drama or pub for some products... but the story have some potential... but certainly not the best adaptation that they could made ... but not the worst one that I've seen ... and not enough spicy moment... they cut before the fun happens... but the scene with the 3 bodyguards worth it even if we don't see much things ... it's funny and sexy...Was this review helpful to you?

Forgettable at best; Annoying at worst
- Genre –Mafia/Romance/BL
- Brief Synopsis –
Protagonist A is a mafia boss and B is a normal student who has just been hurt emotionally and ends up in a one-night stand with A. B wants this to remain a one-night stand but A falls for B and wants to make him his boyfriend. However, A lacks understanding of conventional social norms and his attempts at flirting with B makes the man think A is trying to control him. This leads to B resisting A and running away at every opportunity. A does not give up and chases B and once B is caught, the latter stays with A for a little while before A does something stupid again, prompting him to flee again. The story ends with B finally accepting A.
- Plot and Storyline –
This plot does not contain any plot twists that would make the story memorable in any way. The recurring cycle of B fleeing and then being caught becomes wearisome over time. Unfortunately, the subplot of mafia dynamics and power plays also fails to reach its potential, lacking depth and falling into predictability. The plot ends up quite boring, making you want to skip episodes. The dynamic between the two male leads in this series is notably perplexing. While the audience is aware of their love for each other, subtle hints of this affection only become apparent in the later episodes. In the initial stages, it appears as though one of them is coercing the other into a romantic relationship. While there are occasional sweet moments, they are scarce and widely spaced, failing to evoke the anticipated excitement or a sense of romance. The overall portrayal of their relationship lacks the charm that typically prompts an emotional response from viewers.
- Character Development –
A learns to be less controlling and act more like a normal person. B learns how to deal with A’s eccentricities.
- Acting -
While the leads manage to cultivate chemistry and effectively convey their love for each other in later episodes, their performance in non-romantic scenarios appears awkward and lacks a natural flow. The world constructed within the series comes across as artificial and exaggerated, occasionally even bordering on the absurd. This exaggerated portrayal not only impacts the overall authenticity of the narrative but also undermines the credibility of the characters, at times making the leads seem less convincing or even somewhat comical in certain situations.
- Production Quality -
Decent production quality with somewhat realistic sets and props.
- Writing and Dialogue -
Writing can sometimes be a little cringey.
- Pacing -
Pacing is okay despite the bad writing.
- Themes and Message –
Themes of BDSM and unhealthy relationships are explored.
- Audience Appeal -
Anyone who likes mafia themed shows will probably like it if they don’t have high expectations coming in.
- Standout Moments -
N/A
- Criticisms -
x Writing can get awkward in a lot of places.
x The relationship between A and B doesn't seem healthy at all, making it difficult to root for them.
x There isn't much buildup to the relationship so the audience isn't all that invested in the couple.
x Nothing interesting seem to happen.
- Conclusion -
The decision not to revisit this show stems not only from a personal dislike of the mafia backdrop but also from finding the plot uninspiring and predictably dull. The portrayal of love between the leads fails to capture the same level of romantic allure seen in other shows, and the intimate scenes lack the intrigue and engagement found in more captivating narratives. Overall, the combination of a lackluster plot and less compelling romantic elements contributes to a lack of interest in revisiting this particular series.

This is not the smutfest people are saying - basically filler drama with skinship scenes
Honestly , I decided to watch purely because the comments on a few lists said it was , and I quote, "VERY SMUTTY" , and because of that I was kinda disappointed. Story is a basic filler drama level - it's fine, but the whole bdsm thing barely gets past the first episode . And really the only "racy" thing is bare chested men scattered throughout the episodes ( like taking a shower, or at the beach/ pool) one bed scene in episode 1 and two shower scenes . The main couple have like two short "smutty" scenes and then like 4-5 kisses throughout the entire series and that's it... Episode 10 with the bodyguard shower threesome is probably the spiciest episode.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the weakest BL series
Yoon being a versatile actor, i was excited to watch this series but from the beginning itself, this was such a let down. No romance between the lead actors. Do not even talk about the threesome🤣 That was such a disaster. Poor storyline. The kisses between them were not attractive as in like not wanting to kiss each other but have to do it for the sake of public/fans. Phone mishaps in between the drama. None of the actors gave outstanding performance. The bodyguards were so stiff, no entertainment, skin and bones types of bodyguards where the genre itself was mafia, action and so on. Nothing good came out of this drama. I had to watch all the episodes as i downloaded everything at once. Such a disappointment. This series was seriously a no-no one for me. I'd never want to watch such type of synopsis ever again.Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful disaster???
What bothered me so much about the show was the half-assed steamy scenes. No because like...WHY WERE THEY ACTING LIKE THEY DIDN’T KNOW THAT THERE WAS GONNA BE STEAMY SCENES??! Their chemistry? Which chemistry?Like I’m literally considering it a mafia parody coz honestly it was a joke!
But a good joke, luckily.
I’ve never laughed that much in serious moments. Bless your eyes
Watch it in double speed and see how quick it’ll turn into a telenovela. Entertaining!
And why did we get a soft-faced mafia boss?? With no abs in sight...Are you sure he’s been doing any work? Stay-at-home mafia boss? Acceptable explanation.
Lemme not get started on Kim. If I was to describe him in one word, it’d be annoying. He’s so annoying and whiny. Mye mye little kitten
It may look like I have no nice things to say about this show but the truth is....I really don’t have anything nice to say about this show. ...except that it’s a good joke.
I recommend.

I stayed till end only for kamol
I had a love hate fun relationship with this series. It annoyed me with it's cringe or made me fall in love with its character or right out laugh in it's direction.First thing first, i noticed a lot development in action of the actor playing Kamol. So much that he was the only one bearable to watch on scene along with the head maid, bodyguards.
The acting of few people was not worthy of the drama.
Kim's character was a modern day damsel in distress - a kind of character who is smart in his office work but annoying and dumb in difficult situations. Sorry to say but who told him to punch danai when he knew his Mafia Bf is having a talk with him. Dude they all are Mafia. It is dumb and not brave to interrupt and.punch a mafia goon. He is lucky most of the time he is the main lead.
Kamol forced Kim so many times in beginning for the relationship. I just wanted to tell at him you just not say-I will not force you- but you have to act it as well.
I was disappointed realising actor playing Kamol was not really fit for the role. But damn did he prove me wrong. He was damn right terrifying and made me beleive that he is the boss.
The villain danai was outright stupid that i do not even want to spend my time on him.
Danil was stupid as well though still bearable villain. But Kim just exposed Daniel's vulnerability to his brother while danil was still present there and kamol was there too.
If someone exposed me like that in fron of even one extra people, I will be more than annoyed and angry.
The arc of danil apologizing was farfetched for me. Many characters added could have been avoided.
And the another issue was the rushed ending of the kidnapping screen of Kim cherry and danil. The entire scene of fighting escaping blackmailing was filled with overused tropes.
Also i would have been shir scared if i was a small mafia boss and kidnapped the brother of a Russian mafia, but danai was stupid so I am.not expecting much logic from him.
Again the irritating event was how Russian mafia just appears and shoots danai and then after the shot hai bodyguards comes to him.His bodyguards are the most useless ones i have ever seen in mafia movies.
Another thing that annoyed me to core was how adamant the show was in showing bare abs of almost all male characters. How is that helpful to the plot unless you just want people to look at actors visuals rather than plot.
Another thing is I would have loved more little romantic scenes between three bodyguards and baboon and his bodyguard love interest.
Overall, it was a good show but i don't know if the jokes on show was more funny or the way characters caressed tigers like they were their cats was more funny.

Parola d'ordine: umorismo involontario
Terrificante. Ti attirano e provocano con la promessa di chissà quali perversioni in camera da letto e vicende tensioattive nell'eccitante mondo della mafia, però poi alla prova dei fatti le sessioni sono abbastanza vaniglia per un certo verso e ridicole per un altro. Il povero cristo che se ne è andato col torso sanguinante non è stato sicuramente ferito da quella specie di frustino che sembra un pennacchio per tende. Tutta la recitazione è a volte pedestre, da parte più o meno di tutti: non siamo molto sopra il minimo edittale.Sarebbe anche sopportabile se non ci fossero pesanti buchi nella trama e continue situazioni oltre ogni limite di plausibilità.
I personaggi secondari che fanno il filo al nostro ineffabile capomafia, sia l'uomo che la donna, sono caricaturali: l'uomo è un bambino capriccioso, la donna sembra non riuscire a comprendere il semplice concetto che se un uomo ha mangiato banane per tutta la vita, di sicuro non vorrà improvvisamente le pesche.
L'ambientazione nella mafia non convincerebbe un ragazzino delle elementari e, quel che è peggio, l'attore che interpreta Kamol è completamente inadatto alla parte. Dovrebbe essere un algido, tenebroso, spietato capo mafia col pallino del sadomaso, ma assomiglia più a un orsacchiotto damerino senza alcuna presenza minacciosa, col viso perennemente congelato in una maschera apparentemente gonfiata da interventi estetici che gli hanno immobilizzato la faccia.
Non ho gradito particolarmente l'utilizzo della tigre, che è stata evidentemente sedata per permettere agli attori di interagire con lei: una presenza totalmente random, inutile ai fini della trama. Quella povera bestia mi ha fatto una pena immensa.
Durante le varie puntate si toccano punte di umorismo involontario raramente viste altrove, sembra a tratti di guardare un poliziottesco degli anni 70 e pure fatto male. Non si capisce a cosa servono le guardie del corpo, visto che non proteggono nessuno né riescono a impedire l'accesso agli estranei, in più si fanno continuamente gabbare da Tizio e Caio. Ridicolo.
E il nostro dolcissimo Kim che, dopo aver fatto i capricci per tutta la serie si improvvisa psicologo e trova del bene in tutti, riuscendo perfino a fare una predica al grande boss?
L'ultimo episodio è di un cringe terribile, questi due insieme sono come l'acqua e l'olio anche perché hanno fornito loro delle battute orrende. Discorso a parte merita la colonna sonora, a tratti anche gradevole ma, a volte, mal abbinata alle scene.
Tutto il drama ricorda un treno che arrivi a tutta birra sui binari bloccati da un tronco: continui a guardare affascinato uno spettacolo tremendo anche se sai che non migliorerà, eppure non riesci a staccartene fino alla fine. Deve essere il miracolo dei BL tailandesi. Per questo, e solo per questo ho assegnato una sufficienza.

A Series That Derails Its Own Train
"Unforgotten Night" arrived with the promise of a stirring narrative set against a backdrop of crime and passion. Yet, the series serves as a case study in how a potentially thrilling story can go awry when the plot decides to abandon ship.Story:
From the outset, "Unforgotten Night" seemed to be charting a course into daring territory. However, it wasn't long before the plot took a sharp turn into the realm of the implausible and never looked back. The attempt to tackle the sensitive subject of BDSM was met with a mishandling that bordered on the offensive. Rather than presenting a considered depiction, the scenes played out with a carelessness that could only be described as disgraceful.
Equally jarring was the portrayal of the mafia. A role that could have been a nuanced exploration of power and vulnerability was lost to a performance that did not quite capture the gravitas one would expect from such a character. The youthful appearance of the actor could have brought an interesting dynamic to the role of a mafia boss, but the execution and direction failed to leverage this, leading to a portrayal that lacked authenticity and depth.
Cast/Acting:
The actors tasked with bringing the series' central couples to life faced their own set of challenges, most notably the apparent absence of chemistry. In a genre where the emotional connection between characters is pivotal, this lack of spark left the relationships feeling flat and viewers struggling to invest in the couples' stories.
Overall:
Despite the aforementioned issues, the series was not without its merits. #YoonTon delivered performances that outshone the material they were given, showcasing their acting chops and leaving a lasting impression. Their efforts provided a glimmer of hope in what was otherwise a murky narrative sea. The potential they showed begs for more opportunities to shine, ideally in projects that offer a canvas worthy of their talent.
In conclusion, while "Unforgotten Night" may find an audience that finds enjoyment in its offering, it remains a series hampered by its failure to fully realize its ambitious undertones. It's a production that will have viewers imagining the 'what ifs' had it lived up to its initial potential. Here's to the future endeavors of its cast, especially #YoonTon, who certainly deserve to explore a broader range of roles that can properly highlight their abilities.
