Noite Inesquecível (2022)

Honestly....

This show was not bad as I thought it was. I did first go into the show knowing that it was bad because everyone was telling me that it was. Still watched it anyways because I thought I would have a different opinion. And I did...

UN is now one of my favorite shows that I have watched and its very enjoyable if you dont start comparing it to other shows like KP.

My favorite characters in this would be Cherry and Danil. Why Cherry? Because she had actual character growth that was shown. Why Danil? Because even though he was bad he didnt want actual harm to happen to Kim.

Till this time now I still remember the entire plot about what happened because it was not forgettable at all.

I'm near on speechless

Not sure what the Writers were up to, Made my hands itch to gouge my eyes out most of the way through, The BDSM was the most vanilla I have ever seen, Kamol's acting was terrifying, his expressions ( or should I say , lack of) were not from the school of method acting, or any school of acting. to be fair, I doubt any of these actors even knew what a mark was, The writers must have sat down and created this after doing mushrooms, But I watched it, I watched it all, and in one sitting... SO there was something , not sure what, that actually pulled you in and didnt let go, Possibly the fact it was so bad, it was like a train wreck, and you had to stay to the grisly end

Forgotten Plumbing - mafia, BDSM, only not really

Adapted from the y-novel Mafia's Bad Love, (originally featured both a gay poly triad and a GL sub plot). Stared Yoon (YYY, Paint With Love, My Ride) as a mafia Dom and Ton (Y-Destiny) as the accountant sub. Kim has a one night stand with a random stranger who becomes obsessed with him. Pretty soon into it I began to think this show should be called Forgotten Kink rather than Unforgotten Night. There isn't any. Mostly there's faucets left on and shower heads used for tie points (don't DO that). But honestly it was just bad. There is a moral to this show but I’m not sure what it is. Don’t combine your BDSM-but-not-really BL pulp with plumbing? In the end, this dumpster fire was extinguished by a garden hose and all we were left with was leaky pipes and the smell of damp trash. The only kinks were in the hose.

It was better than I expected

It really was.

After reading some other reviews I wasn't sure what I would be getting myself into, but I was pleasantly surprised. Its no masterpiece, don't try to compare it with KinnPorsche, as even though there are enough similarities - the vibe is just different. This may even be more violent than KP in some aspects as Kamol is far more brutal and quick to terminate than Kinn. Kamol is pretty scary, but even a scary man can fall head over heels and that he did.

The thing with this drama is the pacing isn't the best - and looking at it, the director may be the one at fault because the actors here are pretty good at acting. The 2 leads did a good job but the pacing/counting that the director demands, does throw them off in some places, but they powered on. The supporting cast is fun, more so Kamol's people than Kim's (they pretty much just existed for the sake of existing, I don't even understand why Sammy took her role). The actors in Kamol's crew looked as if they really enjoyed what they were doing. Also, some actors are clearly better than others, but aside from "Baiboon" - whose smiling freaked me out 100% of the time, everyone held their own because I do believe certain awkward traits shown had more to do with character than actor.

The story is nothing complicated. I haven't read the web novel, but after watching I want to read it because there is definitely enough going on with these characters to make for a bigger story, maybe some serious angst if that's your thing (I like angst so - my thing). As it stands, minus the violence its actually a fluffy/lighter vibe. While the synopsis given implies that heavy BDSM is involved, it really isn't. Yes, its a major aspect of the connection between the 2 leads but the series kept the act itself fairly mellow. Also so did the actors because the faces they made will have you in a laughing fit.

I would for sure recommend this to anyone who doesn't take everything seriously. It a bit of a gem.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I LIKE THIS....

This drama had me laughing from the over exaggerated, over the top action scenes. Like I seriously have no idea why I love this drama. I KNOW ITS BAD but yet its good. I really like stories where a partner is super in love with the other ( thats a major weakness of mine ) so I guess thats another reason why I like this plot line. Kamol is so in love with Kim that he would do anything to have him , even if it means keeping him locked up in the house, restricting his freedoms and such ( yeah, its kinda TWISTED but I likey )......as long as this behavior is in dramaland and not the REAL WORLD, am good.

Mild sex, low key violence, Friendships win

I never read the novel, so this review is based solely on what I watched (via Youtube and with English subtitles).

LIKES:
Cinematography, lighting, location shots, scenery, fight scene choreography and special effects, were all mostly well done.
Wardrobe was tasteful and flattering for the characters, while suiting the scenes.
The tigers were a beautiful bonus.
Acting:
Chemistry of the actors involved, all meshed okay (some better than others).
Actors/actresses were well chosen for their roles, with a few exceptions.
All of the emotions of the main characters were executed well and acting was decent.
Writing:
I was glad that the BDSM portion of the love/sex scenes wasn’t over the top and was extremely mild.
There was enough drama to get absorbed in the storyline and characters, without being annoying.
I really liked how supportive Kim’s parents (and all the parent figures in this,) were.
The crime/mafia portion had just enough content to suit the story and develop the characters.
Conclusion episode gave the right dose of time to most of the characters.
Production:
A few continuity issues and a few moments of shaky camera filming, but otherwise well done.
Editing was decent and the scenes flowed smoothly for the most part.
Director was good.
Music was okay, but nothing that you’d remember. Glad it didn’t overpower the voices of the acting occurring.

DISLIKES:
Production:
Some of the shower scenes/naked moments, you could see the actor wearing short shorts (it wasn’t blurred or hidden well), which drew away from the impactful moment.
Writing:
The relationship between Kom and Baiboon was cute, but didn’t have enough growth or time to be explored and clarified. It felt too unfinished. Also Baiboon’s age was never confirmed. Was he in high school or first year of university? [Did the script writer leave out important information?].
I wanted a few more moments were Kim was protective of Kamol, to make the ending so much more impactful.
The mafia boss Kamol wasn’t really as dangerous as he should’ve been.
The woman Cherry wasn’t needed at all, mostly there for product placement (which the office ladies that worked for Kim, could’ve done easily.
Directing:
The main characters of Kim and Kamol didn’t kiss open mouth much, this was very PG. It took away from the chemistry of the couple.
BDSM had no erotic moments and didn’t do that sexual practice justice.

OVERALL:
I was glad that the violence and sexual violence wasn’t as graphic or abusive as the KinnPorsche series. Pacing was great too. I do recommend this to anyone who likes friendships and the BL (Boy Love) genre. I will watch this again, because it was a decent BL drama. I missed the hot chemistry of the main leads, that BL dramas such as Love In The Air (Boss & Noeul, Fort & Peat) and Between US (Boun and Prem) gave us. As expected a lot of obvious product placement, but that’s normal in Thai-dramas.

Not as bad as you think

Honestly this series came out at the wrong time. It aired around the time of Kinn Porsche and it was definitely no match for that and it's gotten slammed... unfairly I think. After the first couple of episodes and the awkward BDSM scene I got pulled further in to the story and became addicted as well as invested in Kamol and Kim's story. Kim acted like a brat for a little too long but that was a minor annoyance. It was hard at times to see why Kamol was so enchanted by him when he acted like a brat most of the time. There had to be something more than the rough play but it was hard to see what.
The story moved at a good pace, not really lagging anywhere but there were a couple of superfluous characters that didn't seem necessary to the story (Baiboon, the man who kept pestering Kim for lunch at his office and quite honestly the two office ladies. One in office friend would have been enough I think).
As far as the physical setting goes it was so much better than other series I've watched. I've seen a lot of Thai BL and the same two or three houses are used over and over again for upscale settings and it was nice to see a different house used for the main setting. And wardrobe- decent, above average wardrobe for the entire cast especially Kamol and Cherry. Kamol wore a lot of nice, flattering clothes and Cherry's outfits were stunning. Very fitting for the mafia setting.
I went into this with the lowest possible expectations based on reviews and was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure I'll watch this again, probably skip over a couple of scenes, and like it just as much as the first time around.

Unforgotten night pero very forgotten series

Si tuviera que elegir cuatro palabras para definir la serie serían "madre de mi vida".

He leído reviews en las que la gente decía que la cosa mejoraba e, ingenua de mí, confié. No mejora. Es cierto que tiene ese efecto "accidente de coche"; es decir, que hay algo que te pide seguir mirando porque tienes fe en que haya algo que vaya a estar bien. Pero no. Lo intuía porque el libro tampoco me pareció nada del otro mundo, pero madre de mi vida.

Tengo la impresión de que el cast ha hecho todo lo que ha podido, pero ese guión, esa música continua de piano y guitarra sin sentido, la superposición de escenas sin coherencia, la nula transmisión de emociones por parte de los personajes y su nula evolución... Esperaba que saliera la cámara oculta en cualquier momento.

Watched in Iqiyi

Review is after second attempt to watch. My First attempt: 15 minutes through episode one and I was going to add this to my dropped list however, I read other viewer review first, and it convinced me to give it a second try.

This could have been a good one but.....
The director and film editor obviously didn't give their heart to this project. It reflects no care at all and that they did the bare minimum and collected their paycheck. The editing is horrible. Cut scenes were so obvious, and theres instances of camera not being focused or angled right. Theres scenes that were included that didn't make sense. Cheesy lines caused me to fast forward a lot. Awkward scenes are also included. And come on.... a threesome out of nowhere of people who works closely together???? I truly didnt see the necessity to add this to the story. Piano BGM was used too much in this series that it was hard to focus when hearing same BGM for almost every kind of scene. Wardrobe is off in some scenes and seemed like revolved within just 5 sets of outfits (I may have overcounted).
Ton Saran Anantasetthakul needs to take more acting class. Casting could have been done better; hardly any chemistry within the entire production casts.
This can be a construed as a mean review however this is my honest take for this series. I feel regretful because to me it is a good simple story that could have turned good if directed and edited better. As many negative things I noticed, I didn't drop watching it after my second attempt of watching because it has an "it" factor that kept me in my seat after I finished episode 1.
So give it a try, pass episode 1 and see if you wont finish it. I don't think it is enough for rewatch value tho.
