ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW A BAD FILM-CREW CAN RUIN A GOOD POTENTIAL SERIES
I've said it before. Screenwriters make or break a story. And this one has a LONG list of horrible, messy scripts thay make NO SENSE, in her register.- Time to admit defeat and acknowledge that screenwriting is NOT for you, Poy. You're probably a great person... but, your scripts are not.
The Director was also a wrong choice... did he even care for anything but the pay check at the end of the shift? ...
The anger in me, watching people blame the actors for this is just deafening. They aren't bad at their jobs. In fact:
ROSSI does a PHENOMENAL rendition of Night, based off his character's manners in the Novel.🫶🫰 Well done!
ART understood the assignment & does a phen job at portraying Gear's overprotectiveness of both Itt & his posessiveness of Night, causing him to be defiant of Day to the point of being his punching bag to gain simp with Night.🫶🫰Well done!
LONG LEE as Day might seem like an odd choice, but he also understood the assignment well, the turbulent balance between violence & tenderness that Day has going on in the novel is like turning a lightswitch, and he gets it on point how it's frustrating for Day when Itt is so very flippant with that switch..
FRANK pulls off the perfect balance of Barking Dog Stupid Bravery & Shaking Mouse PTSD that Itt has in the novel too. Even if the bathroom scene we see totally lacks the subtext from the novel where it is literally from Itt's pov & he could have easily thrown Day off if he had wanted to, but in the novek he let's Day choke him, in case it might bring back his memories... Something the script completely erased, the director forgot to note in & the screenwriter definitely missed.... (It was the tiny smile from Itt just after they get interrupted by Nick) after Day threatens him....
----> Frank and Long pull this delicate balance off really well. It's not Love, it's Fragile Codependency. Stockholm/Lima effect. They understood the assignment better than the scriptwriter <-----
.... and then there's Hearth & Non ...
Why waste such good potential with casual mentions & a few hinting scenes? ...
- Mac is not allowed to leave Nan's side for most of the novels. Seriously where Nan is, Mac is always within eye's sight (as Nan was taught by Day, Who did the same to Itt) ... Mac is allowed his freedom if he obeys the rules and curfews (or else... SA is the only other option, shame on you for that, Nan! Then again, you learned it all from Day...) ... & Mac's defiance is slowly, but surely, diminishing through out the story, and this is ongoing up until the ALMOST BIG FINALE... but NanMac has a novel series of their own, paralell to Love so Brutal, that explains what goes on with them before & after they interact with DayItt's timeline... and that subtext is just NOT coming off the screen (seriously anyone read the novels will know, and anyone illiterate will have zero clue and these TVOnly-illiterates will bully the shit out of the actors with this ignorance of never reading anything)
It feels like the scriptwriter just opened a random chapter in the novel and decided to write that into the script... not bothering much further tham that for anything... it's so bad... same for the guys who edited it and added the sound... wth!?
I know it's Art singing. Phenomenal btw. But the song is abused by the cutting/editing crew.. it does not make a good final product.
To absolutely NO FAULT of his, or the other Actors...
LS2 and Unforgotten Night, are both Perfect examples of what happens when good sourcematerial gets handed to BAD scriptwriters & Directors ... They are both great evidence of how a terrible Producer, Editing & Sounds Crew & a dgaf Director, can RUIN a good potential series...
Regardless of how good of an acting team they collected for it.
I am once again disapointed.. guys, read the novel & find out EVERYTHING that is missing from this terrible script.. So much context just skipped ..
I doesn't matter how good I think these actors are doing (they are the sole reason I am still watching tbh) .. .
This show was ruined by a bad film-crew.

Yikes
TRIGGER WARNING.Not every manga, webtoon, or novel needs to be adapted for tv. This is so cringe. Before getting into the plot just objectively this is not a good show. Without having read the synopsis for the book I first just found everything lacking in the show. No offense to Frank but I expected more. To his credit, Itt seems like a truly very difficult character to play given how incredibly annoying he is. Neither Frank nor Long is a rookie, but really I've been following Frank's career from the beginning so I know he can do better. The characters just seem to lack depth. The production is not good. A lot of the editing decisions were iffy. Chunks of dialogue don't have subs and even when they do sometimes they're so confusing.
Day is so cruel and abusive. All the spicy clips from the show in context are actually giving sexual assault. The preview was giving toxic but it wasn’t until I got to ep 5 that I was like this is incredibly cringey and deeply disturbing. I understood why after reading the synopsis of the book. A lot of people have commented on the first 2 books not having screen adaptations, but truly if this show was done well all of our understanding wouldn't be hinging on having exposure to the other 2 books. And clearly, this is the most palatable (yikes) of the books. I had higher expectations because I wanted redemption after being disappointed by unforgotten night, since they exist in the same universe, but I’m really having a hard time deciding to finish this. Rape is one of my most hated tropes in BL. This show unsettles me.

The Endless Whining of a Bad Story.
The best part was the ending. Because then I could be sure that I would not be tortured further.Bad dramas bore me. Very bad dramas stress me out.
They should have changed the title to: The Endless Whining of a Bad Story.
The idea is not bad at all. But not well implemented.
The actors were in a race, who is worse?
Dear reader, you don't like what I write? Well, just invent a reason why they couldn't play well. The spaghetti monster drank all the drinks from the actors and so the mood was at its lowest point.
Or you had tickets to a movie theater, bought popcorn, a drink and you wait for the movie, but it just got eaten by Godzilla. Something like that puts the actors in a bad mood, and they really let that show in the movie.
Or you can stick to the truth. Sorry guys. If you don't like your acting partner and can't act that even, then you shouldn't be doing BL dramas. I am appalled and will not change my mind until you do the following:
Stand naked on a bridge at night and stick your left little toe in your right nostril. You sing a song of your choice. You film it and send me the result. Then I'll rate it as a spin-off and take it into account in this rating.
But until then, here's my clear recommendation:
Recommend this drama to those you hate with a passion.
For the rest of you, watch the next Drama!

Hyped for the Potential....but Uber Disappointed
This Thai Drama synopsis had such promise, but was let down by convoluted and discombobulating Story Progression along with atrocious acting by two somewhat well-known actors that I can put the blame on the Director's direction. I had to mentally struggle to hang in there to see if it would get any better as the episodes progressed, but sadly the ending wasn't able to redeem for its multifactorial flaws. Definitely one I would pass if I knew it was gonna be this bad. Even the side couples that were introduced in this series had no impact whatsoever for me in relation to the story and character interactions and development. I'd be a bit more forgivable if this drama was made and released in 2016-2017 since early BLs back then lacked the impact and connection compared to those of 2020 and beyond.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

A Mess
This show is so freaking messed up i can't even put it into words properly... if it was just toxicity it might have gotten a pass... I mean, you take it as it is... a fictional messed up couple...but my goodness,no. Here, it's straight up violence, SA, insane possessiveness, controlling, kidnapping and public humiliation. I had a disgusting taste in my mouth all throughout and because i am a curious person i went with it as long as i could but i simply can't anymore! No wonder curiosity killed the cat- i almost died watching!A complete waste of time. What a pity!

I lost interest, I think
Então, a série não é má como muitos pintam e eu sou fã de Dark Romance. Acho que os atores em si são bons atores e trabalham/exercem o trabalho deles muito bem, deu para perceber as emoções passadas por eles através dos personagens.O porquê de eu ter parado de ver, não sei explicar ao certo, mas talvez a história que, ao meu ver, não estava tão 'formada' ou com muito sentido e que ao longo dos episódios foi me cansando de estar ali a ver.
Eu sei que a história têm a sua demora e tudo mais e a perda de memória também está envolvido, mas mais ou menos a partir da cena do hospital que comecei a perder a vontade e continuei a ver porque no final podia até acabar por gostar.
Gosto bastante do trabalho dos atores e não é o primeiro BL deles que vejo. Espero talvez conseguir terminar esse e se conseguir, venho e falo sobre.

the worst I have ever seen....
The story is terrible, it's all around sexism, toxic possesiveness, violence, and more. There isn't one single character you can relate to or root for. Acting is terrible too, not sure ıf it's because of the story, or simply the actors are not good. Not even 'guilty pleasure' or 'too bad it's good' material, which was the case for 'unforgetten night'. Even the intimate scenes or Day's good figure can't save this öne. Even ıf you're okay to waste your time, you can find something else to waste it on.If the app allowed, I would have rated it even less.

what is this?
Lagi na lang nagseselos si Day , lahat na lang pinagselosan, minsan mabait kadalasan hindi, mas interesado pa nga ako sa side couples kaysa sa main. Pinapanood ko lang ito dahil ni Long Shi, okay naman ang acting niya, si Frank naman sana mas maturuan sya ng maayos sa pag acting, kasi minsan okay minsan hindi, pansin ko na un sa kanya dati pa noong nasa ibang company pa siya. Sana sa mga susunod na episodes ay maging ok na ang memory ni Day, di kasi nakakatuwa ung may nangyari sa kanila na di pa naman niya naalala ang lahat.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Disappointed with the given message
I just hastily went through the book and did not read it completely because it was really off for me. The series was interesting at first. Later when the toxicity begins to overflow I just wished Itt would have a break with Day and have some proper medical help. I don't know why most of the viewers did not notice but Itt is just a tickling bomb with really bad mental health. I don't get his parents either. Without helping their son to get a better treatment they just throw him into the hands of a abuser. I won't justify any of them but the storyline that was offered in series was enough for me to understand, Itt is really a mentally unstable personal. This is the first drama I'm disappointed with the happy ending. They should have end it on better note.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

All I Asked Was That Itt Suffer
I only got through episode one because I read the synopsis and knew Itt was gonna get his shit rocked eventually. I have never had a show push me to hate a character so effectively. I was s a l i v a t i n g for Itt to be punched or slapped or fucking pushed off a bridge. I was talking to my screen every five seconds to reiterate what a trash person Itt was. I was watching at 3x speed half because Itt is insufferable, half to hurry up and get to whenever he gets hit, specifically by Day. I went back to episode one after getting a quarterway through episode two to watch Itt get punched again. I agreed with Itt on his father only liking Day because Itt is useless. I yelled at his parents to scrap this one and just try again with a new kid. I considered my hatred of the phrase, "spare the rod, ruin the child," and concluded that maybe there's some truth to it because someone, ANYONE (Day. Make it Day) needs to hit Itt, and a lot. I rewatched the fight scene because Itt gets punched but not punched enough. I do not know if Itt can actually ever be punched enough, but I want everyone he comes into contact with to try.OK. So that's where I'm sitting after an episode and a half. I am waiting for whump. I am excited for Itt to have a bad time. I do not need a resolution, or for that bad time to end. The entire series could just be Itt having the worst time and I would be fucking euphoric.
IT IS HERE 👁👄👁
The joy I expected is exactly as sweet as I hoped, I feel so calm and collected now. There is something tacitly hilarious in Itt saying he's not crying, Day saying he is crying, and there being nary a tear within two square miles of Itt's face. Also, a lot of suspension of disbelief is required for all the bits in the hospital, the amount of things that just.....wouldn't ever happen is staggering. I've been grinning non-stop regardless though, because nothing can harsh the high of Itt being treated in accordance with the golden rule. Heaven is a place on earth and all that. If you don't hold grudges, this is probably an okay thing to watch. Me personal, I'm watching at 3x for everything in between Itt's feelings or body taking damage tbh.
Kamol just came in an f'ed things up, if Day is nicer to Itt because of this Imma start a riot. But I also might riot anyway because of all the flashbacks like bro pick a time period and stay there, PLEASE. Day is still mean, I'm jived. Kinda wild that everyone is so sympathetic to Itt when everything Day says makes sense??? Like he deadass can't do shit, and yeah, Day spoiled him, but Itt can't do.....literally anything??? As a grown ass adult??? The sad music is wild because I'm just continously agreeing with Day lmao
I'm now about to be on episode five and it looks like things are gonna get better for Itt. I can't say I'm happy about that, or satisfied with Itt's current suffering (reviews really had me thinking it'd go above and beyond.... alas) but I'm actually somewhat invested in seeing where this goes now instead of just being fueled by hatred of Itt. Never fear though, that's still very much there. I'm actually kinda concerned because I thought there'd be a snowballs chance in hell of Itt redeeming himself at least but I sincerely cannot see myself ever liking this character. I like Day, but only just?? Idk everyone kinda sucks here, actually, I might like Day just because he's currently like karmic punishment for Itt. Extremely mild karmic punishment.
Every time I almost smile at a cute moment there's a flashback to Itt being a shitshow that kills any good feelings 🙃. I'm tapping out halfway through ep. 7 because I suddenly just stopped caring?? If Itt is gonna have a good time and Day is gonna respoil him, I don't have much incentive to care about the plot. Which is minimal regardless so oh well lmao
