Finally caught up to this, and I'm... conflicted is the best word to describe it.
At first, I felt uncomfortable about how they were trying to hide serious stuff in a comedic portrayal, how forceful Shin was towards Minato (bordering on harassment), how weak Minato seemed and the teacher subplot... it was just too clashing to me.
Now, I'm not one to complain about slowburn. Quite frankly, I don't mind the lack of development of the main couple, as far as their relationship status goes. What really bothers me is the shallowness they portray the conflicts with. Minato's feelings, his relationship with the teacher, Saki... If they're taking it seriously, it should all have much more weight than it actually gets. Portrayed way deeper, in a more raw form. This is a very wishy-washy execution, just repeating the same underdeveloped dynamics over and over. It can't decide whether it's serious or OTT, and it's failing for me on both fronts.
I'm not going to tell you you're wrong, because a this point there is very little I would put past the writing…
"That means nothing, because I wouldn't put it past the producion to hire an actor a few months older that is playing someone 40 years older. But we'll soon see. "
Have you seen the actor that was cast as Khom at first? I doubt they really know (or care) what age gap looks like π
My biggest problem with the show and the one I actually want them to fix is their censor/blur filtering. It looks horrendous! I'm pretty sure a random software app could do a better job. Did they steal it from SIMS or what?! π
It was not a pirouette in slo-mo, but still pretty elegant π
See that hand under Khim's head? That's how a REAL bdsm mafia boyfriend treats his lover!
I should thank Khim for not only the swimminng idea, but for bringing all them bodyguards with him π₯°
I adore you, baby Baiboon. But learn how to walk and fall, pretty please? π₯Ί
Are you trying to tear down this mafia family from inside, Khun Khim?
Does that mean Khom is set up to sleep with Baiboon? π±π±π±
"You like it when I use violence towards you." Mafia Boss is back!!
You know it's an insurmountable abyss of an age gap when your younger partner doesn't use collagen-based products π₯
You literally saw two nondescript messages, Khom! It's not like he asked Baiboon for kidney or what!! Jealous much?
That's gonna go splendidly with Tee! "Sorry, my boyfriend/daddy/bodyguard didn't like how you tried to call me that one time. It's better if we stop being friends π"
Ok, I'll check out the gaga version later to see if there's more to the shower scene πΆ (but again, there's enough room for at least one more bodyguard, easily)
THANK YOU!!! π₯³π₯³π₯³ (I'm not so greedy as to ask for more π)
It looks like it's hella cold in there. Hope Khamol could afford a heated pool π
Wine in the morning, like a champ.
Do we think the wine is a sponsor? It looked like they were careful to show off the label.
If this episode isn't at least twice as long uncut, I will be disappointed π (it's like they heard the complaints about too little action and decided to do this obligatory beach episode βοΈ)
π€£π€£π€£ (that one was a pure perfection, short as it was)
That's your sister/cousin you're talking to, Danai! Be careful πΆ
The whole Cherry/Danai stuff was so weird, unrealistic and unnecessary. If P'Danai isn't going down after this, I'll do it myself.
Khim is wondering whether you've turned off the shower.
These slow, clean fights are oddly satisfying. Especially when they feature *midriff* β¨
If each episode only has ~10 minutes, and there will be either 5 or 10 episodes... I guess I'd rather binge this one than microdose myself each week π
I skipped the last three episodes, because ain't nobody got time for that useless drama. But I would be damned if I didn't rush to check out that car scene in final episode (21:45 - 24:45) after reading some of your comments. And it did NOT disappoint!!! So thanks for that π
I'm dropping this one. It's not a bad show, but it's just so long and empty plot-wise. If I watched this weekly, I might have enjoyed it way more. But imagining myself going through another 10 episodes of this when nothing major really happens seems tiring. Maybe some other time.
I was suspicious of it at first. I even had to confirm from the comment section if the translation was right and…
Thanks for the translation! π
I mean, I didn't expect them to already become lovey-dovey for real, but I expected it to be a way bigger deal than it actually was π
Like Akk trying to spy on Ayan by pretending to be into him! Or even just Akk calling Ayan out on all the flirting he does! You know, something that would move the plot and their relationship forward, even if just a little bit!! This way, it was nearly useless π
Why is there an ominous music in every Shain scene?! Are you sending me a sign, AIS? πππ
See? He didn't say no! There must be a reason why he's not saying no!!!
I'm rooting for YOU, Shun! Don't be disheartened, the brothers are just cold like that! You can warm him up π§‘
(I still can't understand how this was greenlit for 16 episodes. If you have too much money, AIS, don't be shy about it! Let's share π₯°)
This KhimRain scene was mildly entertaining, until it turned into another PayuuBaibua rewind π
But thank you for your service, queen Baibua! You are the best OMSN girl from now on π (not as if you had much of a competition in the first place...)
You're so dramatic, Rain! Is this why you don't want to let Shun into your life? π₯Ί
They're shirtless. How can this scene be so boring still?
Did I just rewind through half of the episode only to see whether he wore the sweatband or not? (you shall find the answer hidden in between timestamps 20:34 and 20:41 ππ)
Pairings Rankings!
1. As per usual, Shain are the Kings! They love each other, I just know it βΊοΈ 2. Second place would normally go to Khim or Fencer (or both!), but all those ships were pretty weak this episode. Instead, enjoy this historic moment as for the first time, Baibua gets into the top 3! Together with her stormy prince, my girl deserves a second place after the performance she pulled off this time π 3.We could stop right here, since I basically skipped almost anything that didn't have either Rain or Shun in it, but just so we pair them all up- TonyKhim. He's brave, I'll give him that. Enough for the third place now. 4.Fencers are doing okay on their own, I guess? (Were they even in this episode, aside from that orchestra intermissions?) 5.Sun is back to his old apple problems, so whoever can take care of his heart it is π₯° (and by that I mean professional. As in, physician. Because he's ill, you know? It might be obvious, but apparently not to him π)

And I agree about Kom's actor! I'm glad they made the change π

Y.Entertainment should spend the rest of their existence just milking anything and everything this Unforgotten Night is π
He probably doesn't need it yet, but just give me my collagen-filled fantasy πππ
[Do we think the sponsor told them to make the youngest "main" character use it? Imagine Salmon with a collagen cream! π

Will we get IDAY - IYON combo? π€©
(we did ππ)
I want 156 episodes of this. And Kamol only gets to retire around 130th one. Y.entertainment will never manage to beat this UN anyway βΊοΈ
He already shushed him twice! If we don't get an Itt-Kim-Day plot arc after this, all the foreshadowing will be for nothing π
AAAAH! I must respect that bad B pose Danil struck π€
Oh no, they multiply π±π±π±
I'm this π€ close to skipping all of the scenes with kids. They have yet to add anything meaningful to the story π
It wasn't a total flop of a song.
Stop, Yi! The cute musician will hear π°
Why di both Thunwa and Duen look like they're gonna cry? I mean, I would get Thun if he overheard them before. But what's with the Nong?
(another person who apparently likes to muddy relationships π)
Damn! And it looked like Pleng might actually get a character trait! Too bad.
He's not cheating, Pleng! He's just manipulating you π₯° (and giving the other guy a false hope π)
I hope Rak's ex arrives soon, because this lovey-dovey PlengYi is getting boring already π
The second one is slightly better imo.
Why did they cover the drink cans? Is that a cultural thing, sponsorship issue or alcohol rating one?
I hope Plengrak dies. That would make a much better story than their sweet nothings. Even a better one than ex lover drama!
You can play harder, Nong Yi! Don't listen to him. Let him chase you a bit in return βΊοΈ
I feel like watching dolphins with Duen would be pretty sweet ππ¬
Why not bring him to bed? (serious question)
This song (when they play piano) sounds like something out of 2moons.
Well, let's hope that P'Nuea intentionally sang badly π
I mean, I didn't expect them to already become lovey-dovey for real, but I expected it to be a way bigger deal than it actually was π
