Unforgotten Night

A Beautiful, Chaotic Mess You Just Can't Stop Watching

Let’s be honest: Unforgotten Night is a drama with a lot of flaws. It had the potential to be a gripping, intense BL, and the writers could have done so much more with the main couple, Kamol and Kim. Instead, it frequently misses the mark, leaving viewers with a treasure trove of missed opportunities.

Logic Has Left the Chat. If you are looking for a masterpiece of storytelling, you won't find it here.
The series suffers from several major issues. The writing is riddled with plot holes. Major events that should have been clarified, explained, or at least mentioned are completely forgotten. Worse, whenever the show tries to answer a question, it just leaves you with five more questions. It really doesn't do justice to the core plot.

The dialogue is frequently nonsensical, leaving you scratching your head at what the characters are actually trying to achieve.
For a show that markets itself as a passionate, high-stakes romance, the lead couple lacks any real spark.

The "Mafia" Problem: In the very first episode, the show builds Kamol up to be this ultra-dominant, BDSM-loving, Christian Grey-type figure. spoiler alert: it goes absolutely nowhere. Frankly, calling him a mafia boss is an insult to mafia bosses everywhere; his presence lacks any real danger or authority.

The Highs: The Ultimate Guilty Pleasure
And yet... despite all these glaring issues, I found myself eagerly waiting for the next episode every single week.

Whether it was genuine curiosity about where the story was heading, or simply the desperate hope that the next episode would finally get better, the show has a weirdly addictive quality. There are good things scattered throughout the series, even if they get buried under the chaos.

I expected much more from this series, and it definitely fell short of its potential. However, if you are planning to watch it, my biggest advice is: don't take it too seriously.

Turn your brain off, lower your expectations, relax, and just enjoy the ride. It might not be a masterpiece, but it’s certainly an unforgettable night.

over all very good

I felt they left to much from, the book out. in the book kim had visible marks on him often. I was disappointed to not see the evidence I saw in the books. weather or not we see the "action" seeing the marks more frequently would have been better in my opinion loved the actors they chose for this! very good acting. the scene from the book in the car at the beginning when they went to lunch at the hotel, to much was missing. he (Kim) took another leave from work after that and "escaped" to day and itt's house with visible marks, causing the friends to be considered. dont always need the explicit scenes (thoough to be honest, however, i rather enjoy watching them, and find they develop the love between the characters deeper) i can understand why they are some times limited in the amount of explicitly. all in all I was impressed.

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.

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.

A must watch series

ITS NOT GOOD! I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH THAT IT IS NOT GOOD HAHAHAHAHA

The process of the plot? Chaotic.
The acting of the actors? Ok, except for Kamol, his acting is hideous.
The music? BAD!

The plot does not have a good structure. The storyline is not getting better. The characters are not redeeming themselves. You just had a one night stand, you forced him to live with you, and then he will fall in love with you? That is not possible, gosh! But I can accept it because not all series must be based on reality lmao

I do not know what the fck is happening! There are so many unnecessary scenes. The nc scenes are not that great, except for the thre*some in the shower. The actors delivered what they need to deliver.

In terms of acting, Kamol did very bad. His face is not moving, what the heck. He did not display that much of emotion and his lines are all monotone. The other actors are not the best but at least they did pretty good.

THE WHOLE SERIES IS LIKE A CIRCUS. Will I rewatch it again? Yes. Will I recommend it? Yes.
