The Last Night (2025)

Strong Start to the First Anthology

Our first anthology out of the four and I have to say it already left a strong impression. P and Pan return once again, and their chemistry continues to shine no matter what roles they take on. This time they portray best friends, and the dynamic between them feels both natural and heartfelt. P takes on the role of Yot, a young man who seems tough on the outside but is weighed down by personal struggles, a spoiled girlfriend who drains his energy and a mother who has fallen deep into gambling debts with dangerous loan sharks. On the other side, Pan plays Arm, Yot’s loyal best friend who hides a secret love for him, a layer that adds a bittersweet tension to their bond.

The first episode set the tone for something more mature compared to the usual lighthearted BL format. It balanced real-life struggles with emotional depth, giving us a grounded story while still keeping the warmth of their friendship at the center. The storytelling flowed smoothly, and the performances made it easy to connect with the characters’ pain, flaws, and quiet feelings left unspoken.

What stood out the most to me was how believable P and Pan were together. Even in the silence between them, their acting spoke volumes. You could sense the affection Arm has for Yot, and at the same time, you could feel Yot’s world slowly collapsing under pressure. It was this mix of realism and emotional pull that made the episode so engaging.

Overall, this was a great watch and I’m giving it a solid 7.5/10. If the rest of the anthology continues with this level of depth and chemistry, then we are in for a memorable series. I honestly cannot wait to see how their story unfolds in the next episode.

Short of a full or good story

Yot is crass, drinks a lot, and has a high sex drive, but he's otherwise a regular guy who does honest work as a mechanic despite sleeping in and what not. It's kind of understandable for him not to take his mom's chastisements seriously when she's the one with a comparatively more destructive vice of gambling that he implies has left him feeling neglected and that puts their family's livelihood at risk when loan sharks come knocking. She wants Yot to be ordained so she can have something to boast about him to others about and so she can have a good after life. The argument scene between mother and son was acted well. Her seemingly normal request within their culture, but perhaps she's also not feeling so great about life, but her son doesn't pick up on that, but he definitely doesn't or at least doesn't want to really think about what those closest to him need for happiness. He refuses to acknowledge all the signs that M is probably gay and has been in love with him for a long time. M got too drunk and decided to do a very gross thing to molest an unconscious Yot. That's truly terrible no matter the reasoning and Yot was correct and didn't do anything wrong or overboard in his reaction. It's just tragic that M drank and drove into a lethal accident. The horror scenes of M's haunting were surprisingly well done with good direction, editing, and make up work. I do like his one request was just for Yot to honor his promise to ordain upon his death. Despite what M did, Yot clearly did value the friendship at the very least and it's a fair thing for him to do in honor of it as well as something to inspire his mom as well. The show should have shown her quitting gambling or something. It's never resolved if she paid or her debts. Also, it's weird that M's soul seemed to be purified from being an angry ghost, but now he's still somehow eating ghost yogurt and still haunting Yot forever, but in a more childish way. That feels like a homophobic ending to portray him as not being able to move on and chooses to predate on a guy eternally.
