Unforgotten Night (2022)

Worth a watch if you don’t mind weird

This is my EXACT thoughts as I was watching it… wtf is this show about ??‍♀️ It started as a weird BDSM show to a Mafia twist to obsessed Kamols love for Kim add some weird odd bad guy trick and out of nowhere the bodyguards are having a 3some ? cause apparently they are a throuple …. Chuck in some well placed advertising of face cream cleansers and vitamins a kidnapping or 2 yet and you have yourself an awful script
BUT a show you just can’t stop watching somehow the cast managed to make it watchable. I love watching yoon and ton so that’s why I stuck around .. the ending was funny lop (bodyguard) makes a joke and get a snappy reply back from Kamol cracked me up.

The really really weird part (if it could get any weirder) was that Kamol was supposed to be 36 and Kim was supposed to be 25 that’s 11 year age difference ok acceptable sure both grown adults right BUT KOM looks like is in his late 30s and spent WAY to much time time with baiboon who was 15 ( who I think was in love with kom ) pretty sure there was some inappropriate grooming going on ?

Plot...Rinse...Repeat

In this series you will see a heartbroken guy have a one night involving bondage with a stranger who is a mafia boss and later finds himself to be a target of the stranger's affection. The same old, good guy falls for a bad man. There is stalking, forceful home imprisonment, constant surveillance and much more presented as something endearing. But what do you know! It works and he falls in love with the mafia boss. It appears like the producers thought of making a BL version of 50 shades of grey and after the first few minutes of Episode 1 just gave up on that the whole BDSM idea.
Although the plot has nothing new to share, but the performances by the leads could have elevated the show. Sadly, no such luck. Kim, who plays the morally good guy just looks confused during the whole series and Kamol who plays the mafia boss wanted to go for a stoic performance but looks bored throughout. The supporting characters did a much better job at holding my attention with their performances. But the one character that takes the cake is Danil. As soon as he enters a scene he steals the show with his over the top acting and I was all the more happy for it.
I am always interested in a storyline where the 2 main leads don't immediately fall in love and it shows a gradual progress in the development of feelings. This series eats up 8 episodes before Kim even starts reciprocrating the feelings. Until then it just moves from one plot point to another. Kim complains about being stuck in the house under constant supervision. Kamol convinces him that its safer for him to stay indoors. Kim then escapes his imprisonment only to be captured by the antagonist and has to be rescued and then rinse and repeat.
There are plots here that don't help in furthering the story. The story of Itt and Day was a waste and they could have been completely removed after Ep. 1 and nothing would be lost. They tease a romantic relationship between Baiboon and Khom but there is no definitive answer. And the one scene with the bodyguards that I will not state in detail, just comes out of nowhere and had me wondering "Why" and "huh".
The story was stale, performaces not upto the mark and plot repeating itself but I still enjoyed the series for the sheer ridiculousness of it all. Though I would have been happier to see a little less of the blatant product placements in each episode. All in all an interesting watch which can be repeated when you have nothing else to go for.

Give it a shot .

You know when it comes to watching Bl’s most of them are wack and aren’t worth your time. But unlike other Bl’s and despite other reviews you should give this show a shot. I never though I’d watch this because people said “this is a 99 cent store KinnPorshe” in 4 episodes in and can’t stop watching!…

It’s Giving….

So first things first I’m IM NGL (okay maybe a lil bit) on my PAPPY! i was skeptical bout watching dis solely based on the shows cover?I kid you not I remember reading a Wattpad book with that same mf tiger cover photo (minus the two dudes on it ofc) and I was immediately like “Yeah….NAWWW” but then twin N dem was real deal gassin dis shii for weeks and was sayin it was like Kinnporsche but like Great value ver of it…. AND TBHHH LMFAO THEY AIN LIE! Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t HORRIBLE like how most ppl make it to be but the first few episodes kinda personally gave me that vibe of a try hard “trying to be Kinnporsche twin bestie” kinda vibe. Imma keep it a buck tho THE VISUALS GAVE WHAT NEEDED TO BE GIVEN which I feel like made the show tolerable

Loved it... but I get the hate

As a simple feel good drama, this BL hits the spot! It's steamy, shocking, and in my opinion hilarious. Literally, moments that should have been serious felt like peak comedy to me.

I really hated the casting at first—specifically Kamol because I could not associate his babyface and tiny-ness with being a mafia boss. The main couple's dynamic made up for it though.

Was I left with endless questions throughout the drama and in the end? Of course. But what this drama did right was establish a bunch of healthy aspects that are needed to grow a mature relationship. It did start off super toxic (which is still entertaining) but then it surprised me by how much the main couple communicated and listened to each other. Although this is the typical mafia trope, be prepared to expect the unexpected.

I still can't put my finger on how the main couple came to love each other, but that's fine. I enjoyed it and it was funny.

Petition to have a second season for the second couple!

Just watch it.

I heard a lot of bad things about the show so I didn’t want watch it cause I already had the idea that it's gonna be pretty bad, but I gave it the opportunity and it’s kinda cute, ngl.

Obviously it’s not a Kinnporsche but it’s something that you can see when you don’t know what to watch. the first episodes are cringy and the enemies to lovers thing happens really fast.

It's not the best plotline and it's kinda cheesy for being a show about 'mafia' but i think it's worth to watch just for the experience, haha.

I understand that the time when this show aired was not the best, considerating that their competition were shows like Cutie Pie who has a lot of spicy scenes and KP that manages the mafia thing pretty good.

Don't hate the actors just cause they get a bad director. ):

Anyway, support Yoon and Ton, they’re cute together (even if they have more chemistry out of the screen).

I hated it so much but i would watch it 100x over.

So let me start off by saying that the plot was pretty good granted i do have a bit of daddy issues so a controlling man is kinda my cup of tea, sorry thats tmi, but i really thought i was gonna just watch the first episode cause i was bored and had nothing else to watch, but i invested my life and soul into this show, its not even boring it has okay pacing for how bad it is. The music was terrible though, if you've ever heard of a game called Heavy Rain, that's what it reminded me of just blaring crunchy piano music.

I know a lot of people were comparing it to kinnporsche which i get cause they're both mafia dramas but i didn't really like kinnporsche because it was too serious and got confusing at the end so i wont compare them.

I NEED TO SAY THIS, if you are going to make a show about s3x (idk if im allowed to say that) specifically BDSM, include it in the show. What im saying is, there was like 2 nc scenes in the show, thats not the part im mad about but the fact that they were lowkey uncomfortable and that was the only time we ever saw them really kiss kind of made me mad. Also they acted like Kamol was into some hardcore BDSM for him to just pull out one chain in a shower and thats it.

Ok im done.

when the boss falls in love

the story is ok i gave it a 10 as i didn't get confused in their storyline. literally i got my mind blown and replayed the part of the 3musketeers(watch it to know what i mean lol). the bdsm part was fun as it isn't the intense type (so those who can't stand such scene can watch it)

acting is also pretty much ok i didn't get bored maybe because of their eyes. irl, there are people who are mysterious and don't give away their emotions through their facial expressions. that's how Kumol is, the mysterious type. the one you wouldn't know what's in their mind unless they speak of it. as for Kim, i admire him for taking risk. though he doesn't love Kumol at first, he accepted his offer to use him to forget the pain of his unrequited love(it's quite scary to take risks when you get tired of hurting). for Khom and Baiboon's i'm having the thoughts of "oh wait do i want to see this? will it be cringe-y?" but turns out a satisfying ok. as for Lop, Kit and Ruj's part caught me off guard lol

might i add the part where they keep the domesticated tigers as pets. at first i thought it was just a stuffed toy, barely moving lol. it should've been nice or even better if they had a little story behind them(like these ones can't survive in the wild for some reasons. as i have watched a clip somewhere in socials where they keep such wild animals in a sanctuary as they won't survive in the wild for some health issues or not exposed or used to hunting for preys to feed).

sounds were fine the romantic sound made me laugh a little in some part but it was fine. and if repeating scenes can be considered as re-watching them, then it is.

all in all it was fun watching this as it isn't the intense type.. it was a great watch after watching something heavy/intense. that's how i do it whenever I've seen an intense series, i wash it down with something light and fun :)

Not sure if I liked this or hated it.

My reactions on this show are so confusing. First, let's start with the plot. Oh, wait, no plot. Yep, again with the story built around the sex scenes and not much else. Next, acting. Well, the actor who played Kamol had no expression pretty much the whole series. Not once. Angry, sad, in love, all one expression ... blank. The actor who played Kim was slightly better, but his reactions varied from sulking to sad to clueless with little in between. He was adorable though, so that saved him from total idiocy. [UPDATE: Since I've written this review I've seen several interviews with Yoon and Ton (the main actors) and found that they both have normal expressions and can smile and behave like other people. This leads me to believe that the director asked for the specific expressions (or lack thereof) that were made during this series. So this appears to be the fault of the director and not the actors themselves.] The music was nothing. Like the only thing I remember about it was that they played creepy music during the sex scenes. Is that supposed to be sexy? I have doubts about the competency of this director. Rewatch value: if you like the sex scenes, you can skim back and watch those again, but I wasn't that impressed. Overall, I gave this show a higher value than it deserved because I was impressed with Kamol's absolute dedication and adoration for Kim. Since it was based on a one night stand and somehow he was able to maintain that intensity of love over the course of learning about Kim's personality, I actually felt like the actors deserved props for that. Like Kamol's strangely blank expression was somehow able to at least show an intensity and his actions spoke volumes. So while I wouldn't say this show was good, I wouldn't say it was worthless.

Now about the relationships: this will contain some spoilers. For the first relationship, that is technically over when the series starts: Day and Kim! Wow, that's disgusting. Day is a prick and his love for Itt doesn't make him less of a selfish jerk. I would use other words if I didn't think there were some cursing rules on this website. Anyway, Day and Kim apparently close since high school and dating. But Day never cared about Kim and over time, trying to stay in a relationship with someone he didn't love lead him to treat Kim badly and feel resentment. Then when Day finally met someone else, he dumped Kim like trash. I mean, why not end the relationship as soon as Day realised he didn't love Kim, which was obviously before he met someone he did love? There is no reasoning there except for pure selfishness. Day couldn't let Kim go to find his own happiness until Day found someone else, so he kept Kim hanging on even though he treated him badly and resented him. So you hope for better with Kim's next relationship, but honestly, I don't think Day deserved better. Though he ended up with someone who loved him and treated him well, you could tell that even Itt felt jealous and unsure about Day at the beginning of the series. That's what happens when you string people along, neither your old lover nor your new lover can fully trust you.

Now for the main relationship between Kim and Kamol. Despite the fact that I said Kamol's intensity of love for Kim was cool to watch, this relationship started out as nothing but toxic. After a one night stand, Kamol was possessive, assuming, stalking, and demanding. Like he thought Kim was his property. Why Kim ultimately went with him still leaves me scratching my head in confusion. I can only assume that was Kim's low self-esteem was making that decision, which was what his toxic relationship with Day did to him. Also, though Kamol says he loves Kim and he's trying to protect him, his selfishness is also in evidence because the safest thing for Kim would actually be not having a relationship with a mafia boss whose job puts them in danger. If Kamol really loved Kim more than he loved himself, he would have let Kim go free in the beginning. So intensity doesn't dictate levels of actual love. Their relationship remains pretty toxic throughout the season, with Kim continuing to treat Kamol as though he doesn't care about him (very passive aggressive) and Kamol continuing to treat Kim like property until nearly the end. Then for some reason that escapes me, they both confess their strong love for each other. It was a little confusing why Kim kept making the choices that led him back to Kamol and why Kamol kept loving Kim with no logic or reason, but okay. There was an annoyance over the past relationship between Kim and Day. When Kamol found out, rather than talking to his lover, he did this whole ignore and hurt scenario that only caused confusion and heartbreak. It made no sense, but I guess they had to throw in some reason for Kim and Danil to get kidnapped together. Then when they come out of that situation, Kamol doesn't apologize to Kim for hurting him or even mention his mistake. In fact, Day explains that Kamol just wanted to make sure that Day never hurt Kim again. So why treat Kim like a piece of trash and why did that take so long? Again, plot device that they threw in to make a reason for the kidnapping situation and then never addressed. That really left a bad taste in my mouth. At the end, they did seem to love each other and there was a nearly invisible amount of character development that made it almost believable. So the relationships aren't totally toxic, or at least don't end up that way. Which is probably why the Kamol/Kim relationship makes me think it wasn't a waste of run time. Still not something I loved or would watch again, but not a complete waste of time.

Final note: With regard to the BDSM relationship between Kamol and Kim. I find the handling of this subject to be irresponsible and reprehensible. BDSM does not mean that one partner gets consent to do whatever he wants to the other partner without regard to that person's comfort or well being. While they took the time to show that Kamol got consent, the whole idea that Kamol was like "you're not allowed to run away no matter how much it hurts" is just absurd. Both partners would actually discuss and set boundaries, they might even have a safe word so that each partner can have an enjoyable and safe experience. It isn't just a no-holds barred, I'm going to beat you until you cry and try to run away scenario. They do what they both want to do and feel comfortable with, it's not that one sided. The way the writer casually spreads misinformation through books and the production company then glorifies it in their TV series just shows how little they know and how low they are willing to sink in the pursuit of money. They have absolutely no respect for the work they do. In that regard, they should all be ashamed of themselves.

Unforgotten Night

Comecei a assisti esse BL, por causa da sinopse!

O contexto da história foi bem interessante, claro que pecou em alguns momentos!

O enredo estava espetacular...

Mas teve momentos que eu gostaria de mudar em alguns episódios!

Os atores principais, no começo para mim, não caiu muito bem, por causa da idade e também do corpo, pois o ator Ton Saran Anantasetthakul que faz o Kim tem mais corpo que o Yoon Phusanu Wongsavanischakorn, pois no BL o Kamol tem que ter mas de 34 anos, pois a idade nesse BL, conforme eu fiquei sabendo, seria uma regra a segui pela história, mas ambos seguraram a história do começo ao fim!

O último episódio só posso dizer que eu adorei, ou melhor amei, mas como sempre, nem tudo agrada a todos, mas a mim, agradou, mesmo com algumas falhas no contexto e enredo!

Love this Series!

This series was amazing. I love how it gave you a little of everything. You have love, sex, intimacy, bondage, jealousy, growth of characters, lots of drama, etc. This hit everything I love to watch together in one. There were amazing characters that you loved and some you hated, with lots of surprises and lots of growth in the characters which I love to see. Love how the one-night stand turned into a treasure of love and support from the cast. the ending was the best. It kept me watching from beginning to end in one day. If you enjoy dominant vs passive then this is for you. The cast and pairings are great and the leads have great chemistry. This series is a big recommendation for me and hope to find more like this. Wish it was longer

Oddly romantic and enjoyable

I felt like writing a review because of the low rating, as I don't think it really deserved it. After seeing the score and all the negative comments I was bracing myself for the worst, but this one actually became one of my favorite Mafia-themed BL (the other one being "HIStory 3: Trapped").
As usual, my first worry was about the Mafia theme, as I feel like most series get it horribly wrong, but this time around I was pretty satisfied with it: it wasn't just about people waving guns around, but the weapons and the bodyguards also weren't there for show - there IS action and not just pretty people in suits. I also appreciate the fact that while this was one of the more "wholesome" depictions of Mafia, nobody in the series at any point acted as if they were just "misunderstood good guys", nor did they ever imply that being in the Mafia was anything remotely honorable or desirable.

The story wasn't anything new, but the execution was what caught my heart. I read somewhere that the characters in the novel are a lot different from the actors that were chosen for this series, but I believe that the choice was on point? Kim looks sweet without giving the idea of feeling absolutely powerless, and Kamol is just THAT good of an actor - he's very charismatic and his expressions made every scene feel vivid and real. The romance was very sweet and almost cheesy at some times, but I never felt annoyed while watching and it goes at the right pace without being forced. Although none of the characters are particularly deep, I appreciated how they gave some level of depth even to the secondary characters.
I won't pretend like there are no flaws to the plot - there were, I just enjoyed the show so much overall that in the end they didn't influence my judgement all that much. This might be because my expectations for this series were already pretty low to begin with, so you'll have to judge for yourself.
As for the sexy scenes, I can't judge because I didn't watch them: the series on YouTube had all its steamier parts cut to almost nothing, so there are only a few pecks here and there and not much else. I recommend looking up the episodes on a different platform for the full experience.

If you're looking for comedy then I strongly recommend looking elsewhere, but if you're looking for romance then this might be the right show to watch.
