Last Twilight: Uncut Version

Tears in My Eyes for Last Twilight

To start. I think this is a great show. Its incredibly sweet, very heartfelt and the leads do a great job especially Sea playing Day which is not an easy role to play. However, I don't think the show did a strong enough job in representing the visually impaired community. Considering Day's lack of sight plays such a vital part in the plot. To clarify, blind individuals don't wear sunglasses all the time. Though this was somewhat rectified as the series went on. Touching faces isn't really a thing either. Though they get away with it somewhat since Day only really does it majorly with his lover. The fact that he doesn't utilize a cane or guide dog of any kind is definitely not believable. I get Mhok guides him a lot but I guess that feeds into his character trait of not wanting to accept his impairment and his moms smothering. So again it could make sense in context of the show. Overall not terrible with representation in media...until the last episode. Now yes Cornea transplants are a thing, I don't know the ins and outs of them but they are a thing. However, we spent so much time showing Day's growth in independence owning a little book store (which I love btw) and accepting himself, for him to get the transplant the last 30 minutes of the show. That was not the move. It even semi felt ableist for a second, though I don't think genuinely the writers meant it in that way. The transplant was mentioned at the beginning of the show so it wasn't just a plot device. Either way Day's character changed for the better, I just would've been fine with him remaining visually impaired and maybe had some progress back in his vision. So then it didn't feel so off. Also I will say, I don't get some posts I've seen about Day and Mhok's relationship being toxic? Have you seen other BL's? Or other queer content!? There was literally nothing toxic about them really, except maybe a little codependence but thats totally understandable in context to the show! Day breaking it off so quickly wasn't his finest hour, and I don't think the 3 years later really needed to happen. But toxic? Nah, these two are so sweet and the growth of both the characters is really well done. Apart and together I loved their characters.

A story I would choose to cry over again.

This story brought me so many tears, and I absolutely loved it.

Night alone was about 30% of the reason why. Mark Pakin did an incredible job. Like Porjai, I couldn’t help but point out Night’s many good qualities. He took care of Day even when Day didn’t want him around. He made sure Day could still do the things he wanted— talking to their mom, asking Mhok to help, even giving Day his phone back.

Night called himself a mama’s boy, yet he understood that Day needed more of their mother’s attention. The holiday dinner scene broke me. I almost found myself hating their mom for not remembering Night’s favorite food. Still, Night was always willing to adjust for Day.

Also, accepted Porjai wholeheartedly, and his love for her and her child was truly unconditional.

Sea deserves so much praise for his portrayal of Day. He carried the weight of the story so naturally that it never felt like he’s just acting. Every bit of Day’s frustration, vulnerability, and quiet fear felt real. His eyes alone told half the story… especially in the moments when Day was struggling with his fading sight and sense of independence. There were times I completely forgot Sea was acting because his emotions felt raw and honest. He made Day’s journey heartbreaking, frustrating, and beautiful all at once.

And Jimmy as Mhok… His performance was filled with so much sincerity and restraint that every emotional moment hit harder. Mhok’s patience, devotion, and quiet love for Day were portrayed so gently, yet so deeply. I cried whenever Mhok cried. Jimmy made Mhok’s love feel steady, safe, and unconditional, which made their story even more painful and meaningful.

I also love William’s last twilight as the OST. Whenever I hear it now, I will always remember Mhok & Day. 💖

I would gladly cry over this series all over again.
