Give it a shot!
This really isn't as bad as some people make it out to be!Just don't compare it to Kinnporsche, because it's a completely different show.
I enjoyed watching it, binged it in 2 days.
Funny scenes, sweet even, with a couple that start off with a one night stand, but slowly start trusting each other and falling for each other. I liked that they found their perfect match in each other, when both characters needed someone special and out of the ordinary. That is well worked out.
The side characters are also interesting and show growth. And some give the show the lightness it needs.
This show is not perfect, but few BL's are, right?

…What
So many unanswered questions.So many random moments that just didn’t make sense and served no purpose.
Honestly found myself super bored watching this. There wasn’t anything super memorable about this BL. Honestly I just watched it to fill in time while I’m waiting for Love in the Air to finish airing. I only finished it because I hate leaving shows unfinished if I can help it. I really really wished something had happened with the side couple (if you can even call them that) they introduced the idea of Baiboon and Khom forming a relationship together, but then they just left it hanging there. Nothing became of them. They just remained the same as before. They obviously both have feelings for each other but they just let that be and didn’t bother to do anything about it.
The main couple was honestly nothing spectacular. When a BL has really good romance and is super refreshing I find my self craving to watch the next episode every time. This show didn’t give me any of that. No butterflies from the romance parts. They could have made the romance so much better. There was no moment that ripped my heart out and I honestly missed that feeling of screaming at my screen “JUST KISS. JUST DO IT”. Now I am looking forward to finding a really good BL to watch after this to make me happy.

Una obra incomprendida
He visto mucha gente decir que esto es una total mierda que no vale la pena, que da mucho cringe, que no da risa (cuando esto ni categoría comedia tiene) y no se siente asi la verdad. Mis quejan son para el director que parece que fuera su primer trabajo poniéndome planos medio raros aveces y dirigiendo la primera de sexo con su culo de ahí yo no se porque tanto hate a esto es un bl yo no vengo aca esperando me den la ultima revelación cinematográfica encima estos por ratos es como ver una novela de latam yo estoy en mi salsa qué te digo.En el capítulo 10 pasaron muchas cosas que hasta ahora no proceso esto.
Y como mis quejan son para él directo lo mandaría a estudiar un poco lo que es la composición porque si por ratos se siente medio extraño pero para mi esta piola como para verlo un día en el que no sabes aue hacer con tu vida.
A Cherry yo la amo y la voy a defender siempre ante cualquier cosa, ella mata a alguien y yo voy a decir "bueno, algo habrá hecho".
Igual ver a Yoon hablar ingles y coreano a mi me gusto qué te digo

it's not as bad or toxic as people say
before I watched it I saw many people saying it was terrible, toxic and etc, but honestly it's pretty basic, there are much worse productions.as for acting, it's average, the secret is not to have high expectations while watching. the script isnt extremely elaborate, it has many repetitions of lines. the characters are ok, what I have to agree is that maybe the actor wasnt the right fit for the character of mobster.
surprisingly, even being a basic production, the whole context involving bdsm was consensual throughout the history.
It's a valid recommendation if you don't want to watch something too seriously :)

This is was so healthy for a mafia watch maybe I'm the problem lmao
So many thing about this I loved; the various languages, Kim's parents, Baiboon, Ith and Day, Kim's softness, the S/M?!, Danil!!!Overall it's an amazing story that def deserves the watch but also it's missing something to attract me, still one I'd reccomend (just to form ur own opinion) but I need more, maybe more romance less sex or maybe diversity in sexuality/personality/expression/emotions??
The green flags Kim was handing out FOR FREE!! woah I was genuienely thinking that maybe I'm the problem, that I'm toxic lmao. this was so healthy for a mafia watch lol

It just sucked me in for more and more
With mixed reviews, I wasn't sure about watching Unforgotten Night, but then I saw a clip on TikTok and decided to give it a chance. I have no idea whether it was good or so bad it was amazing, but it kept me coming back for more and I plowed through it and would watch it again. There was a facial expression on Kamol in the first episode that I feel should have been adjusted, but this may have been new territory for the directors so I can understand the error/confusion in directing that scene. Also? There is an ongoing side story that hits all the green flags and has such a reserved level of sweetness.Update: I've now watched the series three times. It's oddly become a comfort series for me.

BDSM
My first concern was that in one of the rare shows exploring BDSM, they didn’t go hard on the issue of consent. No safe word with a stranger?!?! Komol knows better.Also, these are the worst bodyguards since I watched KinnPorshe. Someone was always just walking right on in. Or flouncing right on out. Where was the communication?
Thirdly, I really want a spinoff of Day and Itt. Had me checking to see if it had already been made and maybe I should watch it first.
The giant tattoo and the drugged up kitties, not a fan.
Pushing past all of that, I stayed for the hand kisses (my new favorite thing) and the Princess treatment. I don't usually like mafia shows but I love that he was willing to retire for his boo. Usually it is the Princess who has all the extra love interests but this time it was the Prince, for a change of pace.
My absolute favorite thing, though, is how happy the littlest thing done for him by Kim made Komol so happy. That's goals right there. I hope they never lose that aspect of their relationship.

Not good.
I wanted to see more from the couple kim and the boss. I was bothered by the fact that Kim always ran away from the boss…..and often when things got exciting the stupid mobile phone rang…….Very annoying…!!!Too sad Khom and Baiboon didn’t become a couple…..they looked so good together……:-(…there was an attraction between the two.

i was almost dying while trying to finish
it was painful to complete it. shitty acting shitty shooting shitty story. it'll be in my top 5 worst bl list. a huge waste of time. at least it could've been so much better if they filmed it professionally and acted it realistic. the only thing i liked is baiboon and khom. just them. imo who has a good taste and high expectations from series would definitely hate. i can't understand why people liked this tho. lol. just trust me and don't watch it. go watch(or rewatch) bad buddy or not me cuz it'll be worth.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Better than I remembered
I watched this a while back and I think I saw it right around the same time as KinnPorsche. That, unfortunately, didn't work in this series' favor as, out of the two, I personally think KP was a better production overall.However, after watching this again, it's actually so much better than I remembered. As it's own story, without comparing it to anything else, this is actually quite good.
I don't want to say Unforgotten Night is "more simple," because it is certainly complex in its own way, but it didn't have as many plot points trying to war with each other like KP did. It was very straight forward and the storyline flowed together with progression pretty well.
One of the gripes I remember having with this series the first time around was the chemistry between the MC. I felt like, for a story that is supposed to be centered around instant love and obsession and melding of preferences, it lacked that aspect upon first watch. This time, however, I realized that the version I had seen previously was a cut version where they didn't show much of the intimacy or full version of the NC scenes and boy, does it make a difference. I mean, come on, if you don't know what you are getting into just by the movie poster and synopsis, then you are not paying enough attention. It didn't make sense to skimp on the smut so might as well enjoy it.
I liked that the main couple was the focus throughout which helped understand the characters better. There was enough of the mafia element to add the suspense without becoming stereotypical and there was enough intrigue with the supporting characters to keep things moving along. There was sort of a secondary couple but they didn't force too much time on them to make it awkward and left it open in a way to make us wonder will they or wont they.
I thought the acting was slightly above average though there were a few times I was like "okay, that was a little cringe." But there weren't awkward pauses or people standing around waiting for the next line and felt like a lot of it was reactionary as it should be. Yoon did a great job in keeping his stoic persona and when his emotions threatened to overtake, you could see the struggle he has to keep them at bay. Cherry was an interesting character where you love her one moment and hate her the next. I thought her arc was just as meaningful and went hand in hand along with the MC well.
And last but certainly not least, the lack of miscommunications and misunderstandings is a friggin breath of fresh air. Actually, the communication between the MC is bang on right from the start where they clearly state what they want and what they are looking for and go along accordingly. There were no hidden motives, no catfishing, none of that stuff and yet they still had an interesting story that made me hit the "next episode" button every time. There needs to be more shows like this where they can have dramatic storylines without the "silly drama," if that makes sense.

so bad you can’t look away
this is def one of those so bad train wrecks you can’t look away.the mafia aspect was laughable. the bdsm was nonexistent and what they showed def did not look safe, sane or consensual. yoon and ton look very cute together but chemistry was spotty at some parts. the acting was decent in some parts and very meh in others. I think I saw somewhere that they had almost no workshops before starting to film so that makes sense.
and despite all of this I could not stop watching. lol. most ppl I’ve seen said the same thing, it’s terrible, I couldn’t stop watching, and watched til the end. lol
one thing to note I watched after the show aired, had I watched it week to week I likely would’ve dropped it mid series.

Neither bad, but not that good either.
First i would like to say that i understand why people don't like this series, but i am here to give the pros and cons of it all.Plot: The story is rather good, but it's execution was a bit awkward at some parts and i easily skipped through the product placement bits cause it added nothing to the story itself. I also skipped a duo's parts cause, again, it added nothing much to the main plot.
Characters: The characters are not bad, but it lacked a bit more of construction specially on Kamol's hardcore bed preferences that were able to chase away any and everyone. Kim is also a character that had a nice base for it's character but ended up falling into the worst (my opinion) kind of BL cliché near the end.
Also, the character of Cherry is the biggest BL cliché of all. Ging Areeya (Cherry), who was great and sweet in "My ride", made me feel like they just tossed her here to add to the drama and with no base for her character at all, besides the fact that she is obsessive, annoying and incredibly beautiful. (Last one is my opinion)
Music: Oh, the music. This one was the worst of the worst. For all "tense" or "mafia" like scenes there was this ONE song that repeated again and again. Same goes for the main "romantic" song of this series. I heard it so many times that it felt like they were trying to brainwash me with it.
In the end, Unforgotten night is pretty enjoyable for a one time only watch and easily forgotten in the big sea of many other good dramas from the BL genre. I just gave this one a 6 point overall cause that 7 i already consider it to be the average for many of the dramas i watch.
