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.

Their chemistry off-set is amazing! And it comes through on-screen.

Payu has already fallen for Rain ... the "challenge" is designed to make Rain fall for *him*.

Payu is one shrewd dude.

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.

Honestly, #2 had me ROFL. The moth idiom was *chef's kiss* .

True, true. We've had fun teasing it but we'll be sorry when it leaves us.

I can't look at them the same way at all! They have emerged from the background haha.

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.

My favorite line was Kim asking Kamol, "Are you sure Danil no longer has feelings for you?"

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.

When he barked at the bodyguard "Are you trying to get on my nerves?" I knew he had finally signed on fulltime as a mafia wife.

Ikr! I was thinking the same thing. Any sensible crime boss would have looked into Kim's background before he got into full stalking mode.

I suggest that the people engaged in the big argument look into "childhood as a social construct". Depending on when and where you were born, and what social class you occupy, your idea of what defines a child will vary -- if indeed the concept even exists. Historically speaking, the notion of childhood is a relatively new one. There was a time when at age 14 or so a kid might start working in a factory to earn their keep.

I think people are drawn to age as the determining factor because the number of years you've been alive is an inarguable figure, whereas it's difficult to argue other aspects such as emotional maturity and the others mentioned above. I think those who want to be right no matter what will point to age and feel it's mission accomplished. I myself am not so sure.

I came out late due to my religious background. When I was 21 I dated a 17yo for about six months. He approached me first. I had graduated college younger than most, and he had entered the same college as a freshman earlier than most. We met when I'd gone back to campus to visit friends who were still there. The kicker is that I'd had limited experience being out while he'd been out since age 13, and while we were together I was the immature one. I'm sure it contributed to him breaking up with me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I perceive Shin to have a high EQ compared to Akira. Not that he's a marvel of maturity, but in some ways he has his shit together much more than Akira does. Nonetheless, I think some people would say it would be impossible for Shin to press an advantage in pursuing Akira because of his chronological age, no matter how emotionally mature he is, and that Akira is at fault for letting Shin continue for even one second without shutting him down completely.

But what changed the day that Shin became 18 to suddenly make it okay for Akira to return his feelings? That whole birthday episode drove home to me how absurd things can get with this debate.

I think the only thing holding them back is Phayu's father. It would help if he told Rain about that, but then again, that would get rid of all the tension in their relationship and that would be no fun haha.

To answer one of your questions, "Yes, he did ..." 🤪

I hope we'll get Pie and Phet's back story because right now Pie just seems like a moody a-hole, and having him suddenly warm up to Phet needs to make sense.

Peterpan, who plays Phayu, ships Rain and Phayu as much (or more) than anyone. If you're not following him on Twitter you're missing out.

I came here hoping to find this comment. As soon as she asked who Smart is, I knew we were in trouble.

Looks as though Episode 4 will be the "Episode 11" of this series.

LMAO ... so far she seems like an evil princess in the making

I believe Fluke is the closest thing we have to a legend in BL. Even more so than all the GMMTV couples that everybody's crazy about. Plus he's out as gay. I bet he's a tough cookie irl.

Still, I think the writing in this series does him a disservice. The "apple" thing is just cringy, and they have him fainting all over the place like he's the damsel in distress in a 1940s movie. He's capable of much more and it bothers me to see him so underutilized.

I think one reason people prefer RainPhayu is that the story is coherent and has no fantasy element like the magic apples or that shrub that Kim grows in the walk-in refrigerator. It's a familiar trope done well.

It also doesn't hurt that RainPhayu is sizzling with sexual energy. I'm finding it hard to imagine Ohm's character getting frisky with anybody, so I'm hoping that the KimSun relationship reaches a turning point that makes it more compelling.
