"You changed my life, Day."
This was a beautiful journey, from beginning to end. Emotionally charged, carefully crafted, and you can tell how everyone gave all their passion into this drama.Like, can y'all believe these two did 'Vice Versa' just 2 years ago? GROWTH, darling. All they needed was a better script and a director who could truly grasp their full potential as both individual actors and together. Cracking chemistry that can move a viewer to tears easily. I truly believe they carried the show.
That being said, I do have a couple 🤏 reservations when it comes to the writing. Obviously the best written BL drama that came out of Thailand in 2023, but still, I can't pretend like the writing was flawless. Some character decisions fell a bit short of logic for me, and a little more focus on the supporting characters would've been nicer in the 2nd half. HOWEVER, that's just me being nitpicky and annoying lol this was awesome.
*BIG SPOILERS AHEAD*
As in usual style, the last two episodes were definitely a let-down compared to the rest of the drama. A bunch of illogical conflicts were thrown in to use up the time, like a stupid break-up that could've been easily resolved with a bit of communication and even a time skip. Besides that, I hated that sudden eye donation twist in the last 5 minutes. I thougt we would finally have a healing story about a blind character that shows hope in life despite of it all because it would've been so realistic. I really don't get why they had to shove that last part in 🤦♀️
Anyways, overall, it was still such a good watch. I'm pretty sure I won't forget about how it made me feel anytime soon.
I'll be out here... missing them 🤧

I had a lot of fun with the opposites in the first episode. The brawler and brawler, Mok, a stubborn debt-ridden slob, who has also been in prison, with a girlfriend and, as a contrast, Day, a stubborn adult child, perhaps spoiled by his mother and a little spoiled, and in the next episode, a very fast incomprehensible turn ... From a wolf, he became a lamb with a whip, from a greased up hetero mechanic to a patient nurse in love with a young man, and Day's character suddenly changed quite a bit as well. Here, I would have liked more time for mutual "learning", grinding the edges of the characters, instead of the fact that in the next episodes the time was increased with cotton wool such as walking, cooking, running and other more or less lengthening scenes, and the plot stood a lot except for the matter with August. then everything will return to the first plan, counting on the assumption that the audience will be wistfully talking about how poor Day is blind over the slow-moving plot ... and they would go crazy with tons of snotty tissues and tears in their eyes even if it was filmed Day going to the bathroom to poop and unable to find toilet paper.
On the other hand, the blindness was played very nicely and convincingly by Day, and kudos to the creators for a very tasteful and sensitive portrayal of a blind person, I mean it quite seriously and now again a little lightly - so nice that after the first eye surgery, the instrumentalist nurses apparently blew through his bandage hair dryer and hair straightener. But for a long time, I didn't believe Daya actually had feelings for Moka. Mok, that's a chapter in itself, it's cuteness in itself. I liked the character of Phojai (but also some other characters in the series), no hysterical and heart-wrenching scenes like how her partner "turned gay" and doesn't love her anymore. In ep.11, I was turned off by the predictable "artificial" breakup, instead of Day proving to his mom, who has to ask when he can fart, while he is a disabled but grown-up guy, how much he loves Mok and that he could leave with him despite his mother's ban and Mok, his love, would be able to take care of him even without his mother's money. And with Mok banging against the wall, that was a scene where I couldn't believe Mok and laughed out loud with rage at how they artificially lengthened it to make the last episode even sweeter. What bothered me the most about this series, which caught the attention of so many viewers, including me (!), was the incredibly fast transformation of Moka in the second and third episodes, the somewhat long-winded and sentimental slowness of the first plan, and above all the separation for a few years, I really hate that in Asian projects, and also that a relationship based on falling in love has to be worked on in order to grow into lasting love, and that requires an agreement, mutual respect, sanding the edges and not immediately insisting on a breakup (in that case, the one who insists on a breakup cannot to love the other to the bottom of the soul and to seek a compromise), that's why I can't give the story a ten.

Could Have Been A Masterpiece!
This gem comes along with its stunning, nearly perfect love story that crashed and burned at the end. It just had to make it have a ‘feel-good’ happy ending. Unfortunately in that process, it transformed into a trite overblown conclusion. I cried as hard at the demise of this fantastic series as I did during the whole of this series. The ending completely ruined it for me. The series starts out so exceptional and I felt the curse of Thai BLs would finally be broken where it would not be so epigonic. It is a beautiful story of privilege meeting non-privilege with the union becoming one precariously in the middle. This is one of the few Thai BLs that handled a story about a disability with a sense of maturity, commitment, and a level-headedness, and a realistic albeit not always positive outcome or solution. One overriding theme that they presented and telegraphed throughout was the abhorrence of pity in dealing with people with disabilities. Again, having spent my entire professional career in that field, that is a compete truism. Yet, somehow, I knew that theme would also be its downfall and it was. This was an exceptional series until the last 2 episodes and then it completely fell apart. The ending simply destroyed and ruined this otherwise brilliant series.Was this review helpful to you?

Be ready for a heartwarming and emotional journey
This drama is about the college student and ex-convict Mhok, who desperately needs a job and ends up becoming Day's caretaker. Day is also a college student and was a passionate badminton player before he became partially blind due to infectious keratitis. The two get off on the wrong foot, but soon build up a great deal of trust... and finally fall in love with each other. But Day continues to struggle with his failing eyesight and Mhok tries his best to support him. Can they overcome the challenges together?I was really impressed by JimmySea's acting! They both portrayed the characters very authentically. I had tears in my eyes almost every episode, I was so moved by Day and Mhok's conversations, actions and emotions.
The two had their flaws, especially Day could come across as unlikable in many situations, but his sometimes negative behaviors were mostly understandable to me - considering his eye-trauma and the difficult relationship with his brother and his overprotective mother.
Mhok is my personal highlight of this drama. I just love him! He's so warm, caring, empathetic, funny and creative. Truely the best caretaker and boyfriend for Day.
Overall, I liked episodes 1 to 9 the most. For me it was a real masterpiece that made my heart beat faster, made me smile, laugh and cry. Sadly, episode 10 to 12 had some disappointments in store for me. In my opinion, the break-up was too sudden and too incomprehensible in its intensity. In particular I mean the complete standstill in their communication for several years. And I think they didn't pay enough attention to Mhok's personal trauma (the death of his sister).
I'm very happy for Day that he got his sight back in the end. However, this scene in the hospital had nearly no emotional impact for me and that makes me really sad. After the unnecessary time skip everything was too rushed and kind of bland.
Since I experienced a "high" in the first nine episodes like I haven't in a long time, the disappointment with the rushed, kind of bad plot and the often weird behavior and decisions of the characters in the last few episodes hit hard. I experienced a huge "low".
Nevertheless, this series has a place in my heart and I still think about many of the beautiful messages, the amazing and interesting side characters, and the sweet moments between Mhok and Day.

Last Twilight stands out in the Thai drama landscape for daring to tell a story rarely seen — one centered around disability, healing, and love beyond physical limits. This series brought a refreshing and much-needed dose of realism, tenderness, and emotional depth.
The portrayal of Day’s visual impairment was handled with impressive care and nuance. Rather than framing it as a tragedy or obstacle to be overcome, the series focused on dignity, adaptation, and trust — especially through the growing bond between Day and Mhok. It was a bold move for Thai television, where disability is seldom addressed with such humanity. Credit must be given to both actors, particularly Jimmy Jitaraphol and Sea Tawinan, whose performances brought vulnerability and quiet strength to their roles.
But beyond representation, Last Twilight was a meditation on what it means to truly see someone — emotionally and spiritually. Mhok’s presence brought light into Day’s world, and in turn, Day gave Mhok a sense of home and worth he had never known. Their moments together were tender, full of silent understanding and unspoken pain. For much of the series, it was breathtaking.
However, the final act left me conflicted. After everything Mhok had endured — the weight of abandonment, loss, and the trauma — the resolution felt abrupt. While well intentioned, it seemed to overlook the depth of Mhok’s suffering. His trauma, his loneliness, and his emotional scars were largely left unaddressed in favor of a quick capitulating to Day and denying the audience the closure both characters deserved.
Still, Last Twilight deserves recognition for its bravery. It brought much-needed representation to Thai BL, opened up conversations about accessibility, and showed that love stories involving disability can be just as powerful, complex, and beautiful. Despite its imperfect ending, it remains a deeply moving piece of work — one that will resonate for a long time.

A good show that could have been amazing
I didn't expect to love this show as much as I did. For the first 10 episodes I was HOOKED. I couldn't wait for the new episode each week, it became MY show. The one where I would sit down and never get distracted because of how invested I was.I loved seeing the relationship between Mhok and Day grow how each of them were able to help each other, how Mhok was able to get Day to come out of his shell and how both of them were able to realize that life really is beautiful and worth living.
Then episode 11 happened.
Listen, as much as I love this show, I couldn't even finish episode 12. I was already disappointed with whatever the heck episode 11 was, and then there was a time jump. I rarely like a time jump, but I thought, maybe I'll just stick it out and see if episode 12 can kind of redeem itself. While there were some cute moments, Mhok flirting up a storm and Phojai and Night getting ready to marry each other, but I had already seen a couple of spoilers and I was just getting a bad feeling, so I fully spoiled myself. And honestly, based off the spoilers I did see, I'm pretty okay with not finishing the episode. I still feel like I got a full story and I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
If anyone is reading this and thinking about watching, my suggestion would be to watch till episode 10 and then call it good. I promise you're not missing much.

Best BL of All Time
Don't say no more, it belongs to the greatest BLs of all time in the history of BLs. It's not often GMMTV produces a BL that is genuinely great, let's be honest. The story concept really fits JimmySea's image.The OST? Spot on! Though, i thought Joong was the one who sang it haha they have the same singing voice. The minor characters are great. There were just some sloppy writings towards the end.
An unwanted opinion, the script almost felt like they were antagonizing Mhok by always baby-ing Day. I felt like they didn't delve enough on Mhok's side. Just my cents.
Overall, one of the best out there.

LAST TWILIGHT: A UNIQUE STORY ❤️
Last Twilight is such a heartwarming and captivating BL series. I’ve honestly never seen anything quite like it, it feels fresh and really well done. Both actors totally delivered. I especially have to give props to Sea for playing a blind character so convincingly; that couldn’t have been easy, but he pulled it off beautifully. Jimmy was great too super natural and emotionally grounded.The storyline itself is so unexpected. A guy with a rough past, into gangs and fights, ends up becoming a caregiver for someone who’s blind, and it totally changes his life. That twist alone made the whole series feel unique and meaningful.
I really loved how Mhok didn’t let Day just hide away from the world. He helped him reconnect with life and pushed him to see beyond his limitations, which was so touching. And when Mhok had to go abroad? That moment was heartbreaking. I seriously thought they weren’t going to make it.
The ending? Absolutely beautiful.

"Last Twilight": A Luminous Finale to a Tale of Love, Growth, and Cultural Splendor.
As the final credits roll on "Last Twilight," I find myself reflecting on a story that was as stunning in its narrative as it was in its presentation. Each character's journey was a testament to growth and resilience. Night's learning curve through her brother's mishap, Porjai's renewed trust after betrayal, and Day and Mhok's painful yet growth-inducing breakup were masterfully showcased, culminating in a culturally rich and respectful marriage ceremony that was nothing short of beautiful.The chemistry between Jimmy and Sea, who brought Mhok and Day to life, was palpable. Their performances were not just acting; they were the pure embodiment of their characters' souls, bringing a raw emotional depth that resonated with authenticity. The mature handling of their relationship, characterized by open communication and emotional intelligence, was a refreshing departure from the often dramatic and concealed nature of television romances.
Night and Porjai's narrative was a masterpiece in subtlety, proving that sometimes less is more. Porjai's portrayal was stunning, and Mark's versatility shone through, demanding greater recognition.
However, the series wasn't without its minor flaws. Day's portrayal of blindness sometimes missed a beat in logical consistency, leaving room for a more nuanced depiction that could have lent greater agency and realism to his character.
In its entirety, "Last Twilight" was a celebration of television's potential to craft stories that resonate deeply with its viewers. Its end marks the culmination of a journey that has been as much ours as it was the characters'.
To the cast, especially Jimmy Sea, Mark & Phojai, to the director, the crew, and every single hand that contributed to this series, your work has left an indelible mark. Thank you for this journey, and may your future endeavors be just as impactful and cherished.

A relationship goes both ways
mhok was taking care of day as well as he could and did a great job at it, while he did slip up in the last eps, day had done worse stuff throughout the series to his family. i would have loved it if instead of mhok thanking day for breaking up with him they would had a talk about his feeling instead. That thing made me feel like mhok was giving day more than day was willing to give him, made me kinda sad.The music was overall good, with the ost sounding good enough to be listened to spotify.
I LOVE the actor who played mhok and the character itself. He was a baddie (criminal) who was trying get back on his own feet. He did whatever he could to make his life better and take care of day, at the end of the day he even found love and what he wanted to do as a career.
Now. the actor who played day did a great job at acting blind it felt believable unlike some other series where blindness is exaggerated.
The series overall treated the character of day as a normal person who was now blind beacuse of an accident, which i loved.

BL addressing captivingly a difficult topic, very memorable moments but wish for different ending
This drama revolves around the relationship of Day who faces partial blindness and Mhok who is hired as his caregiver. This BL has a very interesting plotline which addresses in a gripping way the topic of disabilities. The subject is discussed in the series through several angles: the perspective of the person having the disability, the perspective of his entourage, the way the world see him and how he perceives the world...I liked a lot some of the parallelisms done in the story, in particular thanks to a very special book featured in the drama.The story is not without flaws but those are minors comparing to the overall quality and excitment the show provides. The pacing could have been a bit better as well as the treatment of some of the secondary characters. There was also a certain predictability to the overall scenario. I was expecting some scenes, it lacked a bit of surprises but was still very well done. I regret a bit a specific scenaristic choice made for the ending. I was expecting the series to take that road but still hoped the series would have gone into another direction as I think it could have been even more meaningful in that way.
The casting was generally good. Mark Pakin has a support role and is excellent (as usual) in it. I personally think that the overall series would have been less good without him to carry a storyline that could have felt flat and one note with a less talented actor. It is my first time watching the Jimmy X Sea pairing and they were very good together...Their chemistry was very convincing, it is not about lust but rather about love and care in each other...It was truly pure and enjoyable.
The OST was quite standard with one nice romantic song but I was bothered by some of the background music, the melodramatic music was sometimes overused and overwhelming..It was supposed to amps up the drama but it lacked subtlety and was a bit too much for my taste. In terms of production, there are some really memorable scenes with some good filmmaking and directing choice. The production value is quite in line with most of similar production but it is the way some scenes were filmed and some of the direction choices regarding for example the disability of the main character that are making the difference and elavating the series.
I would recommend this to people looking for a BL story quite deep and which is very healing while approaching a difficult topic. Its treatment of disability feels relatable and real. The acting was solid and despite some minor flaws in the writing and questionable scenaristic choice in the ending, it is very worth the time as it will leave on the viewer a lasting and resounding impression.

One of the best starts, one of the worst endings.
The beginning of the series was amazing. It gave me hope that GMMTV could actually release something this good, something with a soul that isn’t afraid to talk about issues that still plague our society, issues many people would rather avoid, ignore, or never truly explore in depth. But unfortunately, they failed. They couldn’t keep it up, and in the last 3–4 episodes, the storyline completely fell apart, as if it had been written or directed by someone else entirely.The very start - meaning the first episode - was a bit weak, but if you overlook it, it’s still watchable. The synopsis on MDL mentioned keratitis, which I assumed would be the case the whole time. But surprisingly, we soon learn (from a random woman in a library, no less) that it’s not keratitis, but corneal damage from a car accident. That’s the first moment that makes you raise an eyebrow and question what you’re actually watching. The entire episode is basically about nothing, and if you don’t give the next episode a chance, it’s completely understandable, because the first one tells you absolutely nothing. Though that’s the crucial point where the show should hook you in, and it just… doesn’t.
Mhok’s employment situation also felt a bit strange. Considering how Day’s mother looked at him and even did a background check, I wouldn’t expect her to keep him around for even a day. Mhok himself never asks Day what actually happened to him and takes care of him based on the assumption that it’s corneal damage from a car accident, still an information he got from (to him) a random woman. Suddenly, none of that really carries any weight. You might think about it for a few seconds, but then you let it go, because the actors are incredible, the chemistry is perfect, and they deliver everything you could ever ask for. Most importantly, they hold your heart in a tight grip. You watch them with genuine affection and enjoy every little moment they share.
It all continues like that, with a few slightly sad moments, and at least to me, it felt like they were real people, that I was watching someone’s life unfold. A tragic one, yes, but one that could now be filled with shared happiness, even if you’re a disabled person . The slow burn was developing nicely, and with that the angst came, and for once, it didn’t feel forced, cringe, or awkward. It felt natural, and that was beautiful. It’s hard to even list all the emotions it made me feel. For example, the birthday scene where Mhok stands in the background so he doesn’t disturb Day, letting him be happy, while coming to terms with the idea that Day might never be happy with him, and that the place he wishes to have might belong to August instead. But he GENUINELY only wants Day to be happy, holding no grudges whatsoever.
That moment, however, felt a bit stagnant. The feelings between them were clearly building and surfacing, but the whole situation, Day liking August, being upset that August kissed him out of pity, but then accepting Mhok’s kiss without any issue was confusing. It makes you wonder whether Day was lying to himself about who he liked, or if this is the first real writing failure.
Then came the two-episode wedding arc and the trip to the location where the book photo was taken. These were weaker moments, but still watchable. But episode ten? That’s where it became unbearable. Not only did Day’s complete loss of vision later make absolutely no sense, but the following angst also felt completely forced. Like it came out of nowhere.
Mhok quits his caretaker job, yet they’re still together, just behind Day’s mother’s back, who is honestly unbearable. The episode ends with Day getting a corneal transplant, and yay, he’ll be able to see again. Except… not really. The surgery fails, and only then do we find out he actually has keratitis. Don’t expect any realistic or professional medical handling here. Discovering that a patient you’ve just performed a corneal transplant on has keratitis is just the peak of it all. It honestly makes it seem like being a doctor in Thailand is incredibly easy and ANYONE can become one right now.
We don’t talk about episode eleven, that was a complete mess that buried everything good the show had built: the vibe, the chemistry, all of it. Episode twelve is another mess, with one difference. At the end, after treating the keratitis, the transplant finally succeeds and he can actually see. And only then can he be happy.
The whole thing ends up sending the message that if someone is disabled, they can never find true, lasting love, which completely contradicts everything the series had been trying to emphasize from the very beginning. The ending is honestly offensive, and the representation was thrown out the window.
Saying I was disappointed might be an understatement. The beginning was beautiful up until around episode eight. Until that, it was one of the better Thai BLs I’ve seen. After that? A disaster.
The actors were perfect, and there’s absolutely nothing to criticize about them. I’m looking forward to their upcoming drama. Hopefully it turns out better than this bullshit.
