Unforgotten Night

Liked it but....

I usually dont write 1st episode reviews but there were a few things that kinda bug me. I like the overall idea of the story but it isnt very realistic so far.

My issues:

1. When Kim and Kamol hook up the first night there is
zero explanation of what is about to happen. Kamol
asks Kim 3 times if he is drunk which is great
because he is making sure he is able to give consent
But does Kim REALLY know what he is consenting
to? Not really sure he does.

2. Can it please be a bit more realistic? The cuff
was so loose not sure what it's purpose really was.
No talk of safe word. And really in both people they
showed a bit more marking than there should be
kinda borders on torture not pleasure and the wrist
marks where did they come from?

3. The kissing was weird. Neither of them looked like
they'd ever kissed before.

I will definately continue this show. I think it has a lot of potential. I may just have to try to overlook the lack of research on the BDSM side of it but hopefully at least the kissing will get better and there will be some sort of plot. So far it was basically an intro to the characters and the BDSM. Keeping my fingers crossed.

UPDATE: Well I finished it. I kept hoping it would get better but it really didn't. Ithink I may have enjoyed this more had I not watched KinnPorsche first. This show kinda seemed like a low budget knock off of that show. The acting was awkward moreso on Kim's part than Komol's. But Kim mostly seemed indifferent even as he was saying he wasn't.

The BDSM that was part of it's billing really only came into play in episode one, kinda mentioned a few times afterward but that was it. So if that is part of your reason for watching this show you will be disappointed. 50 Shades of Grey had more in it than this show.

If you haven't watched a lot of BL's and haven't watched KinnPorsche you may enjoy this series but for me it just didn't check all the boxes.

Should have been named Forgettable Night

So as someone that doesn't usually leave reviews when I don't enjoy something this is new for me. But I can't understand how this still has a user rating of almost 7 stars?!? Like HOW?! If you just want a quick should you watch it or no the answer is NO! don't waist your time on this awful drama you are not missing out you can get the highlights from youtube if you want to see a certain scene from the book. But trust me this drama should be cancelled its terrible across the board. Lets get into why I didn't like it what could make it better and why I won't be continuing it.

Story:

The basic storyline is not bad having a passionate and wild bdsm night with a stranger really could have made an amazing story and with a twist of mafia how could you not be drawn in. However from the get go it was lack-luster I had hoped from the trailer that it would be well done and something that shows a better representation of BDSM and relationships. But what we ended up with was a watered down version of someones idea of good torture prawn? Either way if you have read anything of the translation of the books you will know that the night they had together was alot more intense and laid out then the hysterical representation done in this drama. From the terrible placement of bdsm gear to not knowing how to even use it the whole night is laughable at best it really should be called 'Forgettable Night' because no one wants to remember that monstrosity!

How could it be better then... well first of all put time and effort into learning from people in the bdsm community about how things work and why. Don't do a quick google search and think you know everything because a watpad fanfiction told you so. The story itself has serious potential to have done very well if it had been handled correctly. Now before everyone comes for me saying dramas can't shoot prawn thats not what I'm talking about you can do alot of great angles and hides etc to draw erotic tension between characters and change mood for scenes even with actors completely clothed. You also can do alot of workshops with actors to help get them comfortable working together or touching eachother in general all of these things are what make dramas good. Also its a book thats main storyline comes from a one night stand you would expect this to be heavier on the steamy, erotic and kink side instead of this weird awkward highschool kid dance we got going on.

Acting:

I think they could have done a better job hunting down the cast I'm not saying who they picked is awful but they don't seem to have real chemistry and everything feels uncomfortably forced or laughably bad. I don't know if its because they are to close in height or looks but it just doesn't feel mafia at all its more like one is playing dressup. The scenes with any kind of kissing or play tend to fall flat I mean lets not forget the faces made on that supposed 'unforgettable night' so bad so very bad.. I don't know if the actors were not told beforehand the kind of scenes and content that where going to be included or if they maybe thought it would not be included for some reason but it all just seems very uncomfortable for all parties involved. I think this does come down to the fact they maybe needed more workshops or better direction etc its hard to tell for sure but I can't possibly stomach trying to watch anymore of this awful work.

Music:

Not much to really say here is okay-ish but scenes that need it kind of feel like it wasn't the right mood or sound for what was happening and the opening closing really doesnt stand out at all for me.

Rewatch Value :Nill don't waste your time watching it even once check out the clips on youtube instead if you have something in the books you really are hoping is in the drama.

Overall:

I was really disappointed to see that they did this story so badly, I don't know if they were trying to rush it because Kinnporsche was being aired and they wanted to run with the desire for more mafia BL and get views or what? I really don't know but even if you have not seen Kinnporsche and have nothing similar to compare this BL to its a very poorly done and its better to forget it then give it the time of day this one needs to be laid to rest and never see the light of the internet again its just so bad...laughably so.

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.

My fav drama. Worth watching :>

Unforgotten Night is honestly one of those BLs that stays in your head for a long time.
From the very beginning, the atmosphere felt intense, dramatic, and a little chaotic — but in the best way possible.

I really loved the dynamic between Kim and Kamol. Their relationship wasn’t perfect or simple, but that actually made it more interesting to watch. The mafia setting added a lot of tension and gave the story a darker, more mature vibe that I personally enjoyed a lot.

The series may not be realistic, but that’s exactly its charm. It’s dramatic, bold, emotional, and sometimes over-the-top — and that’s what makes it fun. I was never bored while watching it, and I always wanted to know what would happen next.

Overall, Unforgotten Night is a BL that knows what it wants to be and fully embraces its style.
If you like dramatic BLs, strong chemistry, and a dark mafia aesthetic, this series is definitely worth watching.
I truly enjoyed it and it became one of my favorite BLs.

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.

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.
