dropping this
Overall: There are valid reasons why people write/read/watch/enjoy FICTIONAL toxic/abusive relationships which I'm not going to get into. Day constantly abusing Itt along with other things has made me drop this series. FYI, this is based on the third book in a series - I have not read the books and believe that series should be able to be watch/enjoyed without knowing about the source material so that is how I'm reviewing this series. Aired on WeTV.Content Warnings: fight scene/beaten up, violence, blood, intimate partner violence, manipulation, manhandling (likely more content warnings will happen in future episodes)
What I Liked
- Itt's parents
- their friends
- that ep 1 fight scene was just plain fun
- how a former girlfriend is not a cliche evil character
- skinny black jeans and Day's abs
Room For Improvement
- ep 1 Itt screaming about cake for half the episode, I understand that Day likes Itt to rely on him so it's not like he's a victim in all this but the cake screaming was super annoying
- the production should not expect viewers to have read the previous 2 books and understand the characters/story, what we saw was Itt being annoying in episode 1 and then being constantly abused and crying in the next few episodes, this does not make for enjoyable viewing
- scenes dragged on, they spent way too long in the hospital
- a parade of characters in episode 2 made it difficult to know who was who and what their relationship was to one another
- nonsense things like Itt spending multiple days in a hospital for fainting, why were Day and Itt sleeping on couches at their house???
- end of episode 3 looked good but then the beginning of episode 4 skipped over that cliffhanger
- missing and difficult to understand subtitles
- ballad song for the intro/outro was odd given the tone of the series

So hard to even rate this . So much cringe 🤣 but I also couldn't stop watching mostly because of Mac Nan. They're no Pete Vegas 😆 but they were my only entertainment after the rest of the show just turned out to be bland and way too cutesy.I mean I was there to see some messed up shit and maybe some proper NC scenes between Day Itt but literally the whole plot involved Day trying to hate on Itt and regaining his memory.
Also, in the beginning Itt is the guy who everyone hates because he keeps acting entitled and keeps asking Day to do things for him and it feels like he's an asshole, but you know that's not what it felt like to me.
Basically he was definitely being manipulated by Day who admitted it! That he wants Itt to get so attached to him that he can never leave.
And then, spoiler alert, when the scene where Day beats the shit out of Itt and definitely rapes him, that was the implication right? it was really well done for sure.
it's just everyone on the show is just TRASH LOL
DAY: Manipulated and VIOLENTLY BEAT UP HIS SO CALLED BF.
ITT : Didn't do shit for Mac even when the poor guy was begging for his help.
Was pretty much involved in letting his friend Gear roofie or whatever it was actually unclear to me, and have definitely nonconsensual sex with Night , Day's actual blood brother.
Mac: Tried to rape Itt.
Nan : Forced Mac to be his human slave.
and this is basically all the main characters!
but hot damn that last episode, Non looked fine af! Everyone actually looked really good in the finale but there were still no actual details about what Gear did to Day's brother Night or why they're even together after he clearly must have done something bad to him for sure.
Rating 6 and not lower because I guess I just needed some mindless cringe and I was mostly just hate watching at first.
But whatever, just going to rate a little bit higher for Mac and Nan, the couple who don't even know what the word 'red flag' means and are definitely color blind like me. and actually pretty much everyone is, but that part is fine lol I just wished it was a little more ... less bland and cute.
like something so DARK would happen and you'd expect it to get darker and get somewhere , but then some damn boring af cute scenes between Day Itt. which frankly, were just SO BAD.
Like I love when BL shows do cute right.
like Gene Sib, or Sky Prapai, or Leo Fiat. Even Cutie pie has some great cute scenes that are adorable ! But they were just not good at all at it.
so it's not a cutesy romance and it's not a full on KP level MESSED UP either. it's just kinda meh . and that one villain ffs he was literally even more garbage than anyone else.

what the heck am I watching?
so I didn't even finish the first episode. because the acting is bad and the stupid fight scenes, I can't even with this show I gave up right away. at first I was excited to start watching the show but then once I got into it I instantly was disappointed. they need to remake the show. also I'm not a really big fan of Frank's roll in this he has seriously bad mood swings. so would I recommend this show to anybody? No! if you don't want to be disappointed like I was don't watch the show. Thank youVond je deze recentie nuttig?

This story is related to Unforgotten Night, if you liked the show, you might want to check this story too.
This BL is one of the anticipated projects of this month. The story follows Day who is recovering after a serious accident. His boyfriend Itt blames himself for the accident and wants to take care of Day who has amnesia.
The problem is Day is a different person from who he was before the accident. The kind, caring boyfriend Itt once knew is no longer there. Can Itt help him get his memories and turn him back to the person he used to be?

Why is it so boring and toxic at the same time.
Watching the first episode I was hyped, I was searching for a BL were both partners are horrible and therefore perfect for each other. I wanted to watch something absolutely ridiculously toxic while shutting of my sense of morality. But after the accident, it was just Day treating Itt like shit and we got some weird drama on top of that. It got boring really fast. It was toxic and dramatic, but not in a fun way.Also, why do we never get to know what happened between Day, Itt, Night and his boyfriend? Why is Itt so obsessed with cake? WHAT IS THE BACKSTORY???? One of the reasons why I watched this, because of the "second couple", where one is kidnapped by the other. But there were only like 5 scenes about them and I want to know more, it seems very interesting. I honestly don't know why I even watched this....

надо читать новеллу
Закончив смотреть, задумалась, а стоит ли писать комментарий. Наверное многие зададутся тем же вопросом. Решила почитать комментарии на всех возможных ресурсах и вывод один - надо читать новеллу. Тогда все без исключения вопросы по сюжету отпадут. Но так как я не читала, я не могу объективно судить сюжет. Тогда пройдусь по актерам и режиссуре. Лонг Ши. Мне очень нравится этот актер. И по последним работам я просто восхищаюсь именно его игрой. Создается впечатление, что везде играет только он один. Игра остальных - провальная. Тот же Фрэнк (да простят меня его фанаты) , помня его другие роли - я наверное слишком много от него ожидала и ожидания не оправдались. И плюс этот парик на голове был просо лишним уже в последних сериях, когда у Фрэнка уже отросли волосы. Это конечно нюансы и мелочи, не имеющие отношение к сюжету, но отвлекало сильно. (меня). Очень понравилась игра Харта и Нона. Эти двое делали прекрасную химию, взаимодействие и отличная игра. Жаль, что было у них мало экранного времени и очень бы хотелось увидеть следующее - это их историю. Мне не очень понравилась история "чокнутого профессора", точнее вообще присутствие этого нашего злодея в очках. Он был слишком мультяшный что ли. и его поведение, смех... все провальное. Такой бегающий истерик, который в принципе даже не пугает, а просто лишний компонент лакорна. Экшн-сцены были хороши, реально хорошо. А вот вся сюжетная линия была бы лучше, если бы редактор был бы более аккуратен в нарезке. Говорят UNCUT будет более раскрытым. Что же, буду ждать его. Эта история меня не взволновала.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Make your own opinion
I took a lot of time to watch it. No lie let me tell you with the trailer details my expectations weren't too high.Instead when watching this, I was filled with curiosity:
1) How this duo will make me go crazy humm yes you heard it crazy with a lot of sweetness, high desire tension around the air no need for an explicit scene just that vibe. yes, we got just a little scene within.
2)How sweet, sad, and happy I can be?
What about the challenges? are we going to see the go-around come back around? like recovery and losing process for both partners?
3)How far the circle of loving you or not will go?
Now my opinion let me be brief :
it was well (reason for 7/10) why? you may ask because it was filled for me with some missing scenes like: what happened before that event(you know what I am talking about humm) when going abroad with his brother what happens there? how did he plan to get back at him (I am talking about having a clean and details explanation) Short be clear because that part make me so confused no I don't want to use my imagination because it has an open imagination and it will not answer my questions how the ended up liking each other. we can feel some rushed about it but some far so good we have some love, pain, joy and etc.
NB: Good Ending ❤️

A lot of people will disagree just looking at all the reviews I’ve seen but to be honest I think this was a good drama. Some parts of the story were a little iffy and the script could have been a little better but overall the actors and the concept really make this great. You can pretty much understand the concept of this story and where each episode is going. I like how unlike many others you don’t know how the next episode or rest of the story is gonna play out. The story overall is a 8/10 there’s room for improvement but is not by any means bad. I came at this drama with a mindset of “oh it’s not gonna be good since the rating isn’t great” just to come out of this really enjoying the series. It’s made my heart clench so many times and I don’t feel like this often with series but it really pulled at the heart strings. I feel like this series can be a hit or miss depending on the person but was a hit for meVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Una serie non-sense senza capo né coda
Sostanzialmente uno spreco di tempo. Una serie davvero senza senso alcuno. Si presenta come uno spin-off della meglio riuscita Unforgetten Night, ma ci ho messo un po' a capire il nesso: attori cambiati (che senso ha?!?!), salto temporale, riferimenti non immediati. Ci sono arrivata solo perchè i due nomi mi ricordavano lontanamente qualcosa.La serie parte dalla coppia già consolidata, l'evento catastrofico del primo episodio consiste sostanzialmente in una scenata isterica da parte di Itt per una torta (si, avete capito bene, una torta) e Day che sopporta silenziosamente - lo sa il cielo perchè - le piazzate infantili di un Itt che è a tutti gli effetti un bambino viziato. Queste sono le solide basi di partenza. Poi - colpa della torta! - ci aggiungiamo un incidente con perdita di memoria, altre scene non senso che riempiono un episodio dopo l'altro, poi un'altra amnesia (ormai ci siamo abbonati), e per finire altre scene non senso. La storia si conclude con la coppia, insieme come lo era all'inizio, ma con la grande conquista che Itt non sclera più per la torta. Buona NON visione.

This is so stupid but good in its own way.
When watching the trailer I thought it was going to be way different. I thought we were gonna get this super like abusive toxic thing but that’s not what happened. I think Day losing his memory kind of makes it not that bad but still bad that in its own way. However, this really isn’t that bad.To be honest, this is a drama I think you either love it or hate it. I think the actors Long and Frank are way better off camera than acting. There’s so much cuter together as themselves than as Day and Itt. I was watching a clip from a fan meeting they did and Frank got really emotional talking about how much Long means to him. I think the idea of the story line isn’t terrible. It can definitely work however, it’s just executed very poorly. I actually like this drama better than a lot of other people. The author is the same for unforgotten night so that may be why. The book for unforgotten night is so messy. Like if I didn’t know any better, I’d say the drama and the book are both different things not related to each other. That’s just how different they are. And to be honest I think I’m going to need to read the books for life syndrome just to see how different it is from the drama. I’m not like surprise they kind of got married in the end, but it was so like spontaneous. At least an unforgotten night it made sense even though it’s not originally in the book it made sense.
I really like all the actors though. I thought they were all very handsome and did a good job with the character portrayal. They all seemed to have very good and natural chemistry with each other. Nothing felt very awkward.
Now they’re preparing for the first book of love syndrome. I saw that announcement on Frank’s Instagram page. To be honest, I’m not very excited for it because love syndrome was kind of a letdown, but I think I’m gonna watch it just to understand what exactly is happening and how bad the relationship is and just how terrible everything is. I’m actually kind of dreading the drama, but at the same time I kind of want to see what happened to make them get to that point in the drama. But from my understanding basically everyone in the drama should be in jail and not a couple.
God, this is so painful to watch, but yet kind of enjoyable

A lot to unpack!
This show was problematic, over the top, and toxic, but damn was it entertaining!I personally enjoyed the show and how dramatic it was despite the realistically problematic nature. My only actual complaint is...
THE FLASHBACKS
GOOD GOD!
This show could've easily been 2 episodes shorter if they cut out all these unnecessary flashbacks!! That's what kept me from being able to give this an 8 star. Unless it was Day regaining his past memories, we didn't need a flashback, and we didn't need to see it more than once either! The show was constantly replaying scenes we already saw as well as flashbacks, multiple times, sometimes more than 2 to 3x. It was so absurd and unnecessary.
I loved Night and Nick's side relationships with their partners. They were a very enjoyable part of the cast. Mac's was very confusing to me, like was he a hostage or what?? 😭
Anyway, if you like absurd shows and don't mind problematic content then you may enjoy this crazy gem!

not the same actors from unforgotten night
The parent story is Unforgotten Night but the actors are different for this series even though the characters are the same. In all the reviews no one has mentioned this. I was disappointed. It is interesting that they have chosen to cast younger actors . With the subject matter and the fact that Day was the bodyguard for MR. Kamol for many years. Day should be in his 30's. In Unforgotten night Mr. Kim is 27 years old. This story takes place 3 years later. It was established that Day and Mr. Kim went to College together. If Day was the same age as Mr. Kim, he would be in his 30's .It would have been nice to see the same actors that played in Unforgotten night play in this series.Now I know, this is a different series so it will be interesting to see how the series develops. If you can wade through episode 1 it starts getting better with episode 2. I have hopes that it will continue to improve. If you want a normal relationship then this is definitely not the series for you. I hope to see ITT grow and mature as the series progresses. I will admit that him whining about cake and insisting that Day deliver the cake was extremely annoying and childish. I am giving this series a 6 but i hope as the series progresses that I can improve the score.
I really liked episode 3. It was great to see MR. Kamol and Mr. Kim. This episode was the best so far. The story could use improvement but it is improving with more episodes.
