I'm pretty sure "Mr. Heart" is also set in the same universe as "Where Your Eyes Linger" ....
As for "Best Mistake", I liked the first season a lot! For me things went progressively downhill with Seasons Two and Three. In Season Three they have Yeon Doo behaving in ways that I think are way out of character. For me it's also an eye roll that for each season they will take the chief villain(s) from the previous one and turn them into supportive friends who just hang out as members of the gang. In real life these people would be shunned. (I'm looking at you, Ahra and Yuna...) Gotta love Kdrama and its insistence on a redemption for even the most despicable characters. πππ
I'm starting to worry about the cast - I think the producers may have abducted their families and threatened to…
For me it's a "glass half empty/half full" situation. Watching today almost felt like an obligation, and when the episode started I didn't think their new film project was anything more than an annoying attempt at killing time. But, to the contrary, things started to happen and I was glad to see that the story was moving forward.
I think Perth's character is too pivotal to be a last-minute addition, but Tay's .... well, since he's credited on here only for Episode 8 I think you might have a point. To be fair, though, the series has featured cameos beginning with the very first episode.
I'm grateful that they let the big kiss ride out the ending of the episode without a dramatic interruption like the lights coming back on to reveal Mek watching from across the room. (Then again, where is Mek during that scene? I suppose they might be waiting for the start of Episode 10 to throw that wrench into the works.)
So glad I stuck with this. That episode was very moving.
I think the series does a nice job of capturing how boys that age interact. The water fight was hilarious, the way it kept escalating until it was an all-out war.
I like Sand ... so far. I hope his story about his family's situation isn't a ploy.
I'm opposite from most here in that I find Takara to be the more interesting character. I hope we'll get his backstory and learn why he is always suppressing his emotions. He is clearly *feeling* things, he just makes a big effort to keep those feelings hidden, and I think it is causing him a lot of loneliness and stress.
His lack of affect makes the moments all the more compelling when emotion finally breaks through. After the first episode there was debate over whether the final scene, where Takara is in tears over the possibility of losing Amagi, was a flash-forward or if it was set in the same timeframe as the episode itself. Takara's outburst was so out of character compared to the person we'd seen up until then that many people here thought it couldn't be the same Takara we'd met in Episode One.
Well, it was. And to me it was evidence that he's just dying to love someone and to be loved. He was in tears, for chrissake. The series has a long way to go, so I'm sure the two boys will be tested in many ways. If, by the final episode, Takara has transformed into a more typical teenager then I will feel it has been worth the journey.
As a farewell gift I'm raising my rating to 10/10.
This series has brought me true enjoyment -- admittedly much at its own expense -- and I have looked forward to every episode, coming here afterward to read everyone's reactions. I feel sorry for people who will come to this one later on because the group experience in real time is a key part of the fun. This is a series to savor episode by episode along with like-minded friends.
In an early episode I took a screenshot of Kamol's first ride on his private jet. He was supposed to be mid-flight, but as he looked out the window you could see the reflection in his sunglasses of the ground just outside the plane. Of course, as they'd been filming they were actually still there on the tarmac -- even an expensively produced series would do the same -- but only this one would show its hand so unknowingly. For me it's this kind of thing that will make "Unforgotten Night" so unforgettable.
If you rate this based on your usual scale it is bound to come up short, but when it comes to campy fun it has delivered.
I'm here to complain about the lack of Baiboon Khom content,, he has a fever and we didn't even get Khom nursing…
It was upsetting to see Baiboon without his sparkle after he came home from being shot at. He's been the one reliable bright spot in this whole affair, so earnest and affectionate.
I don't know about y'all, but that last scene was so moving. It made it worth my while to have put up with the last couple of episodes that were basically treading water.
She did shoot him. But she missed. Because she's Cherry and can't ever get to the moment of truth without spazzing out. Kamol just needs to kill her and be done with it.

Payu is one shrewd dude.
