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.)

I don't think what Payu will see Shun doing with Rain will be a dream ...

Thank you for the subs! Simply a fantastic story!

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.

Now that's how you deliver plot development, character development, and slow burn all in one episode.

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.

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.
