I appreciated the consenual nature of their sexual relationship. The actual depiction of the bdsm was a little trite. Overall their relationship was sweet. It strove to legimize bdsm and same-sex relationships. Kim's parents acceptance but yet realistic attitude was a loving healthy one.

Watch on the official channel
I think the story of this novel is quite interesting. While watching the series, even though in episode 1 it was quite awkward, in subsequent episodes it began to develop well. The storyline is also getting more interesting. The packaging of the storyline is also epic, not too many adult elements, more romantic and wise. There's a scene in the later episodes that gets a lot of criticism for the lack of chemistry during the kiss scene, but for me it was just the beginning of a relationship. Kamol doesn't want to push Kim too far, he wants to try slowly because Kamol knows he has pushed Kim a lot. I feel more like it includes a romantic scene, a thin kiss that makes the heart melt. I suggest you guys keep watching because the more episodes the more fun, you won't be bored.Was this review helpful to you?

Lazy Storytelling
As someone who had read the novel before, I can say that I enjoy this drama. Is this drama good? The answer is no. Is it the worst? The answer is also no. There are other worst ones.But I can understand why this doesn't work on others. If you never read the novel from beginning to end, it's really hard to enjoy the drama itself. Actually, the actors in the drama did a great job in portraying their characters, because that's how they're written in the novel. The characters in the novel all have the same paper thin personality as in the drama.
The worst thing is they adapted the word by word novel into the drana, without changing anything or adding the aspects that makes visual storytelling more enjoyable. That's why I rated it as lazy storytelling. The drama team just slap the sentences in the novel onto the drama, without giving it a soul, making it sounds so boring and anti-climatic. When I read the novel, even though I think it's crazy, but since the novel has some kind of background information on why the characters do what they do, but in the drama they didn't bother to do that.
I know how the novel ended so I do know what will happen next, and I also have the privilege of knowing what they're thinking so I'm not that annoyed like others.
My verdict:
This is a watchable drama if you think you have nothing to do and you have a lot of time to spare, and you also no longer has other dramas to watch. It was not absolutely terrible either, and I actually grow fond of the main couples, despite their weird background. This drama is perfect to watch when you are doing something else, like working, doing laundry, etc, as you don't have to focus much to the drama.

it’s MY trash.
It wasn’t horrible but the plot is messy and patchy. i imagine that the script writer was paid fifty cents and got a loaf of bread as a bonus. they spent their money on trying to make kamol have a luxurious life and said “nah we don’t need to hire editors!! cap cut is free” also the instrumental they use is hilarious and used at inappropriate times IT WAS AMAZING!!!kim can have everything i have, i will give all of it to him. kamol was funny but gosh he was a little obsessive!! i love the body guards. genuinely laughed during the threesome because why??? did it happen??? i guess they’re in love or some thing. idk idc do your thang babes. im ace so idc about NSFW scenes… these were just so badly shot and edited i laughed.
it was still enjoyable to watch and i wasn’t bored… tho i did skip when things were slow or when they spent too much time on the “he’s so in love fr fr” shots
i’d watch it again and would still be entertained 100%. watch it. thank u this is the first review i’ve wrote

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 endWas this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?

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.

Not Bad
Honestly I was expecting something worse based off the reviews. It doesn't have much of a story but the main couple does grow. Its weird because in this case the main couple was the only reason I watched. Their relationship wasn't a story build up. it was just two people getting to know each other sorta not really. I like that it was simple as long as the ending. The writer didn't make it hard to follow . However the story isn't a full story like I said their was no build up or depth. As a series missing that key concept it wasn't horrible it was watchable.Was this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?
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.
