Unforgotten Night (2022)

A hot mess

I really wanted to give this drama a 10 or more, since we had waited for it so long ... but sadly this drama did not do any justice and I do think my rating is high for this HOT MESS!!!

The thing I liked was kamol he was super cool and hot as always but this drama was not for him, he could not carry that whole domineering look or mafia look at all ... (might be biased here probably the only reason why I scored so high) ... the bed scenes in the first episode was already a down fall to start off with, and I do think more thought and planning should have gone into to it.

The story was simply mediocre and didn't really relate ... Kamol sees kim and instantly falls for him after a one night stand ... there after its down hill all the way ... I didn't feel the chemistry between these two, it was like everything was forced and no flow to it, the build up was not as expected and it was just really bad in terms of the love scene... it also came across that kim was not sure of his sexuality and how to carry himself...

The music was okay ...

Overall: it was not a great series and after waiting for it for so long and it was a bit of disappointment...

The most boring Mafia BL ever!!!

I get what they were trying to do here, BUT the lack of direction in the the story, mediocre acting, boring action scenes, lack of intensity, like I can go on. One thing I legit hated is that the continuation scenes from a previous one was all in a mess. Like there wasn't a right chronological way they edited this. It seemed no one cared and just added scenes together without some making sense.

I started super excited for this drama because the lack of mafia BL is legit sad. I had KinnPorche on the side to watch but waited. From episode 1 to 3 I always give dramas the chance since I know the slow pace, but the drama got me hooked till ep 6, after that lord. Like it seemed to me that the 2nd half was completely just put together and sometimes fast sometimes slow legit nothing to add to a story or not. Like heck were are talking about a mafia BL, how as a mafia boss Kamol act so dull and passive on sht that happens to just act like a boss with work, even Kim's part was legit typical arrogant damsel that acts up but in end does dumb things.

Yes I don't care for popularity of actors and fandom. For me the most important part of a drama in a BL is the CHEMISTRY between the character where it looks so natural, only BL dramas that gave this Bad Buddies & Tharntype.

Don't bother with this drama.

A lot to improve

I started watching this series hoping it would be a KinnPorsche kind of thing (i.e. mafia inspired). And it is, but I simply could not go past episode 2 because of how artificial it feels. KinnPorsche is years-light ahead in terms of acting, production, music, plot and feels so organic. In Unforgettable Night the filming and editing are pretty cringey and unnatural. Too much slow motion and weird cinematography. Not to mention the kissing scenes, which are pretty bad. Wish I could say better but it didn't impress me at all. The acting was alright in general and the story as well.

Perfect Example of The Wrong Director/Producer in charge.

I admit I am disappointed. And this review will be long, because my brain is wired that way.

First off. I am an actual Sado Tachi. and while I was reading the Novel I loved Kamol.

Let me explain why; I loved the details in the novel, the way the author describes the "Unforgettable night" is akin to having either experienced it, or having watched other Sado's at work. I loved the part qhere Kamol makes five times sure that Kim knows what he is getting himself into. giving him multiple chances to back out. it was like reading art. and Yes, it gave me idéas.

Even if the story faultered in some places. I hold Kamol high as he is my number one favorite character in Thai Y'novels. Kamol in the novel is an insatiable, EXPERT experienced Sado. and he does not go soft on his Subs. you would have to be an absolute Maso to handle his vices.

-> Thus enter Kim. brilliant portrayal of a true Maso who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to ask for more of it.

Now... The first episode... ... ... Too many Rookie Mistakes made for me to akin Novel Kamol with the TV-Kamol in any way shape or form.

Now, I won't list them but the one thing that irked me off so bad was that an experienced SaDom, as Novel Kamol is described to be, one akin myself who's been playing the game since 19. Would NEVER tie in the bondage the way that ?Kamol did... It's a ROOKIES mistake, and it's potentially a safety issue for your Maso... Because a 2kg ikea Nightstand will not withstand the force of someone who's body is in spasm from the pain being struck on the back with a Cato'9. that little tickler wasn't even a good quality one either...

Now that's not on Yoon, that is on the sloppy work and instructions from the director. who clearly hasn't researched anything. nor did he care enough how it would look....

The work is hasty, blurry and poorly edited, and I still can't understand for the life of me how that episode made the cut and got out in the final work. it's like they didn't even care to make it professional OR even remotely BDSM accurate...

I am disappointed to say the least. but that's what you get from a Conglomerate and a Minor Entertainment comoany.... You get a rookie crew who simply focuses on scheduled time to shoot over actually making good quality scenes. clearly some of the scenes in the first episode. especially the "Unforgettable Night" that they shared. needed a reshoot and should have never made it past the cutting board if you ask me.... It's laughable for someone who even had the slightest clue about BDSM.

it's a spit in the face of Novel Kamol too. But I DON'T blame Yoon for it. the audience of Youtube will take it for what it is.... but Anyone remotely versed in BDSM will saw this series down, and Gagas will laugh it to null... Because most of us KNOW what true bdsm is. And we know the good quality that it can be made into.

Besides. with the all the plot changes made in the TV-Version of KinnPorsche we now have The fact that Pete is no longer a Victim to Vegas brutal hand... but in the TV series he has been made into a WILLING Pet who EVEN made the first move.... That means TV- KamolKim already look pathetically Pale in comparison to that scene with TV-VegasPete in episode 12. and it's a Shame...

Since I really hold Novel Kamol up as number ONE on my list of favorite SaDoms in Thai BL-novels and Let me tell you right now the Novel Monster that is Vegas isn't even on that list.....
- Such a Shame... I'm not even sure how to or if I even want to proceed with the next episode...
I'm already too damn disappointed in the production company for letting that trainwreck of a scene pass to final cut on the cut and editing board.

Way to kill the excitement and expectations that I had for the show. as I would finally get to see my beloved Kamol in a live action....

Again, Yoon did well as Kamol in other aspects of the first episode.. and props to the new guy who plays Kim.. Who's name I will have to learn for making the unfounded misery of a inesided crush look as pathetic as it is.

- But as far as that Scene that was supposed to Hook us to Kim in the same way Kamol did. it failed .. it wasn't even close to hitting a homerum... it was so far off to the side that the baseball hit the left hand corner behind the pitch... and it makes me sad. I really had high hopes. But such rookie mistakes. they are unforgivable. not unforgettable.

This is a total disaster...and i couldn't finish it

I barely was able to finish the first episode without skipping anything, to be honest, i felt like i was being punished.
I wanted to quit but the actors are so cute and i felt like they put in too much effort for me to stop at episode one without fully giving it a chance.
Buuut by mid episode 2, i couldn't keep at it anymore...i'm dropping this.
The actors all have same expressions some are smug others are too goody, a fancy set and outfits but no story, no action or any type of emotion
I just felt like this is a recipe for disaster , if you just wanna watch intimate scenes but under the name of a BL Series.

I think the series is ascending well, first of all the actors needed more workshop which I think the production team overlooked completely, actors r trying to do the best, but I have seen behind the scenes the director is amateur a little not explaining the scene properly. In y destiny and yyy yoon was really good n natural kinda emotional also....

So far it does appeal and hooked so u wonder what do in next episode. M also eagerly waiting for it, coz in the preview I have heard Kamol regrets bringing Kim in his circle...coz of all the dangers. Loved the tiger scene well shot, kamol looks hot wen angry, there love scene was good at least I liked it better than Fifty shades of grey movie...and the best is were he ly his head on Kim's lap..shows they both are getting comfy with each other...felt good...

What am I watching ?

First episode commentary - no sorry

-The introduction of the characters was really not the best, especially Kim's. Kim was presented as such a hardworking type, fine while also being heartbroken - but now we see him as someone pathetic, getting drunk while spying on his crush. Seriously ?
- Everything is very random: they way scenes are put together, to the slow motions, the music and sound effects - just the overall editing.
- The acting is making me laugh, especially when in bed - I am so sorry but what is that face man
- Why are the damn colours so dead and toned down? It makes the quality lower than it actually is. I don't know, i supposed they were going for sultry/mysterious vibes but what is giving is funeral and depression.
- The colours are so toned down, too much to feel kinda mysterious in a way
- The only person I am happy to see is Sammy! She's just a queen and no one can say otherwise.
- Is Kim an ugly crier or he just can't act? can't tell at this point.
- The mafia aspect is okay, for now..
- The chemistry between Kamol and Kim is none existent - sadly no sparks but they do look good.

- The limo arrival scene - our boy was mobbed by 3 little paparazzis.
- The dam bathroom talk... could you please turn off that damn faucet !! or is that too much to ask ? ?
- No consent ? like I know it is mafia but in BDSM you need consent and be careful of everything.
- That tattoo and robes thing... why is it so ugly ?
- The bed scene: Kim's reactions are kinda exaggerated, like you just started with a bit of wax and he already in heaven or whatever ? no, sorry. The kisses are the definition of kissing a wall.
- The whip, we need to talk about. It is supposed to be giving pain but boy is barely touching him, even a cat could do a better job. Plus, I'm going to say this again but why that face ? I was crying of laughing at this point


My final thoughts: it was trashy, very awkward and not even entertaining when I had high hopes - I will still try watching it because we never know. This could have worked as a satire without needing any changes, I really could not take this seriously.
Please keep in mind, this is just MY opinion and thoughts (actually shared with a friend of mine), yes I did rate it a 1.

This is me being ridiculously generous!

Before i start i must say that i gave the story a 9 based ONLY in the description.

You read the synopsis and you are already drooling!You are thinking finally the BL world comes to a new era,dealing with more mature and darker themes!Yupi!!!

You see the cast and you are like: "Ehhmm..maybe..??..No!Ehmmm.i don't know!"

You watch the trailer and you are already second guessing yourself and doubting whether to start watching this or not.

You watch the first episode and you are...speachless!You think the 4 walls of your house are not too many to knock your head at them.
Where to start?I love tattoos.I have mine.But what the heck was that on his back?ugly,tacky and tasteless.
Good thing the Kamol guy is a Top and then poor Kim doesn't have to look at his back!I feel sorry for the actor and the make-up artist!
Wtf with the faucets in this ep?Artistic innovation?Sweet Jesus save me..
I will not talk about directing,lighting.editing AND acting.i will be a total b*tch and i don't want to...
But i will talk about props and especially their s*x toys!I strongly recomment to find another s*x shop a rather expensive one cause those toys look really cheap!As cheap as the BDSM game/scene was.No further comments your Honor!
The only hot in this episode was the burning candles and the outstanding beauty of Cherry.(seriously her beauty is out of this world,but this is a BL we don't talk about gals.lol!)Ok to be fair Kim is a hot and good-looking guy too(not my type but still,haha)
Anyhow i will not bite my nails until next episode.I will be back when the series ends just because inside Pandora's box the last thing is always hope!

Cringe...

Oof...

So, my first ever review, and I feel like I just gotta put down concerns regarding this one because I was excited advice.

Story -
Paper-thin at the moment honestly. Handsome hard-working Kim is devastated by a love that will not be returned so at the advice of his friends, he looks for someone to help him take his mind off his lost love. That someone turns out to be looking for the perfect submissive for him at a random club instead of you know, using his resources to find someone who specializes in submission and is actually looking for an available dominant.

On Kim's flame, babes at least he put an end to it, didn't keep stringing you along on false hope and we all know you aren't the type to be a home wrecker if that other couple is truly happy together... RIGHT!? (I don't know this I only hope he's not that type coz I like him!)

On Kim's choice the have sex with this rando, I can understand that Kim is devastated about losing a love he was so committed to, I understand that desperate desire to really feel something, other than the heartache you are feeling. Heck, it's even possible that you are indeed a masochist submissive and just hadn't gotten a chance to explore that side of yourself so when you met a guy who said he would help you forget you got a little reckless and thought hey I'll try anything once! Turns out you kinda liked it even!

On Kamol's story, which is what? I'm a gangster Dominant sadist desperately searching for the one true submissive love for me and I have a crazy woman who is in love with me so I sleep with a new man every night so she might just take a hint? Yeah, I hope his story develops more because that's pretty weak.

Acting/Cast

What I loved: Kim!
Played by the lovely Ton, this character works well for him, he is very beautiful from many angles, the way he speaks is nice, he's not awkward, and his acting is very good for doing something so difficult as experiencing submission for the first time. His cries from pain mixed with pleasure were good, and his expressions were right, not the best kisser, but I have a feeling that's because he's not got a very good partner and there is only so much he can do when he is submissive. He has a beautiful body, not skin and bones, a nice chest and arms a real beauty all around and he looks strong enough to handle himself but also could need help without coming off as a damsel in distress! His acting is good and he's doing his best with what he has.

What I did not like: Kamol...
This is NOT the role for Yoon, I have seen him in several things and I was worried when I found out he was to be playing this role and my worries were very justified so far. This is not the character from him, he couldn't be further from being the right pick. He has such a soft gentle youthful baby face. The only thing he has going for him in this role is his height. His tone when he's trying to be indifferent and cruel during the mafia scenes just doesn't sound right, he's not intimidating at all, he does not command a room, and he doesn't look like he's the boss of anything. Some of his bodyguards are scarier than him.

The faces he was pulling during the SandM scene were weird and awkward. He is so out of place it's hard to watch honestly, like watching a baby trying to run before it can even walk awkwardly. Yoon is great at being soft and caring and sweet, which we see a glimpse of in the aftercare scene (BIG kudos to the production team for including this) I only hope that as the show progresses he becomes more comfortable and has a breakthrough with portraying this character but i won't hold my breath.

The kiss:
This is a VERY adult topic, SandM I mean, and for it to be a focus in the story then you kinda have to commit to a certain level of intimacy and sexy lustfulness and that kiss... Teenagers go harder. Like what a massive letdown, it should have been intense and lewd not... whatever that was. Guys, these are adult men looking for a hookup at a club, it's 2022, Zee and Nunew went harder in Cutie Pie for goodness sake! Pull yourselves together!

Music:
What music?

Rewatch value:
I have cringed enough, but would watch just Kim and the girls he works with coz they are a hoot!

Overall:
I'm not dropping it yet, I have hope that things may get better and that they were trying to ease people into it in this first episode, coz honestly who has heard of a sex scene of episode 1!? Wild I know!
