dreaded ep. 11 curse...
Last Twilight is a thai drama with a refreshing and promising premise touching on subjects such as prejudices against ex-inmates, mental health topics, single parents and visually disabled people. And all that with a stellar cast and award-winning director should have made for a perfect series. And it was up until episode 9!So first the good:
Acting: acting of the cast was superb with a seasoned and experienced ensemble cast and undeniable chemistry between JimmySea. I also loved the relationship that existed between Day and his brother Night. The development between these two also felt very natural. Mhok and his ex were also a wonderful pair adding a lot of nuance to Mhok and his life which hasn't been easy.
Music: a beautiful OST sung by the talented william jakraptr from LYKN with lyrics that matched Mhok & Day's dynamic and story completely. the song literally tells you what's going to happen. wonder why the director and screenwriters didn't stick to that?
Story: here's where it goes wrong...
The first part was beautiful and interesting to watch with Day struggling to come to terms with his disability and being depressed and basically trying to navigate his way through life as a disabled person. Eventually Mhok comes along and pulls him out of that depressive slump, helping him appreciate life again and accept himself. A story arc that they completely dissolve and destroy at the end for no apparent reason, giving off a very toxic and offensive message at the end, which is the complete opposite of the start of the series. it hurts me to give this series such a low rating because it could've been great. unfortunately it became okay-ish. it's still a good watch but it's also disappointing.
my advice? just stop watching after ep 9 or so when they reach their last twilight. like in the damn song.

Simply wow
Even though I haven't written any reviews yet, I have to write one for this series.This was a masterpiece. I was carried through so many emotions, happiness, sadness, anger, even I
became shy sometimes. I loved every minute.
Especially with the acting of Jimmy and Sea. I love seeing them both together.
Even here in Germany, Last Twilight got recognition in an article on a LGBTQ+ Website.
Big thanks to everyone who made this series possible.
And please more of Jimmy and Sea.

BEST SHOW EVER ❤️
It's so great to watch character development....and this is so incredible example of character development... I love everything about this seriesEveryone did a great job in this show.
The acting, the actor, the director,the music, the story.
Everything was so perfect. ♥️♥️
I hope Jimmysea get another series together. Their chemistry is incredible.❤️
I know some people upset that day gain his sight back.
But If you put yourself in Day's shoes, wouldn't you be happy to get a second chance to see the world again?
I don't care about what other thinks...but for me it's truly a masterpiece ♥️

JimmySea did it again!
These 2 actors are pure gold, with an extra trim of diamond in the name of Oaf, the director.The way these portray emotions is something else. it's in their voice, their whole being. Of course helped by a very moving story, a perfect cast and amazing settings and music, this was such a joy to watch.
In the course of this drama, we get repect for disabled people like Day, who is gradually losing his sight, we get a fantastic analogy with a story in Day;s favorite book, we get redemption for the brother, the mother and the father, we get a happy ending for the best friend, we get the importance of second chances. we cry, we laugh, we get angry and we swoon over how Mhok takes care of Day.
I hated the break-up, but the way Mhok later thanks Day for it is such a flex!
I was maybe only a ;ittle disappointed they put in that 2nd surgery. Story could have been even stronger without it. But i'm not mad. It's already almost perfect as is,

Life of a First Born.
Allow me to talk about Night, first born of renowned chef Ramon; Not only he's enduring the pain & guilt of hurting his nong chai, but having a mother who tends to put you second - I truly felt where it is coming from. When Night said "Is it my fault" it tore me up. As perfectly as he tries, he wasn't good enough. He's hurting more and more! Yet, you could barely say much as if you do, it felt like you're being selfish. Oh well~ at least he is content now. Proud of you naaa ai Night.Absolutely enjoyed and adore the entire episode of this series. Always having each other's back, whether it is your boss, your friend, your ex-gf till the end is simply well put. What's more showing everyone's green flag side is the best.
Their sound track of course - THE BEST ! I listened to their songs first before watching the series 5 months later. Hhehehe ~ Satang's voice really fits. William did an amazing job and Jimmy version is merely ethereal.

good until the end..
This show really grabbed my attention in the first couple of episodes. I think that the casting for everyone was perfect and they all did a great job acting. A stand out for me was definitely Mark! I loved him in My School President and Only Friends so I was super excited to see him here. I've never watched a JimmySea show so this was my introduction to them! They did great as well.My ick with this show lies in the ending. I do not like break ups, especially over stupid reasons. This was one of the worst reasons to break up. I feel like Mohk is so level-headed but Day is not (at times). I think a nice long conversation/communication would have been better and healthier for them. A break up + a time skip just ruined the high of their relationship and I found myself wanting them not to get back together. I understand Day and his hate for feeling pity but his communication skills during this were so bad it made me upset.
I feel like a happy ending is what we usually want but I kinda wouldn't mind them not getting back together. Overall it's a good show, definitely better than some shows we got last year. If you don't mind a breakup timeskip then please do watch! The story is overall interesting.

Love reborn
Day and Mhok were wonderful. Their acting was exceptional. This whole story was engaging and poignant. I loved it! I will definitely watch it again and again. The actor who portrayed Mhok had a very expressive face. He would be excellent at any role he played. I hope both ML's do more shows together and even ones that they act individually.This story had a strong sense of family and redemption. The book"Last Twilight" read throughout the series was interesting and kept you going from page to page.Was this review helpful to you?

??Walking green flag ✅
I've never scored this high in any series on this site before, but I assure you that it has merit (at least for me).Starting with the story... GMMTV brought us a different plot from those we are used to seeing, thematically around student life.
The theme was more mature and realistic, which I appreciated in Last Twilight, which helps viewers become more aware of the realities that can happen in life such as blindness, and appreciate the value of what we have, as nothing is guaranteed.
Their ability to send the message resulted in its successful transmission.
The flawless performance of Jimmy and Sea cannot be overlooked when talking about transmission.
This pairing caught me off guard and surprised me as fans of Vice-versa the series.
The authenticity of their interaction with each other made me forget that Sea and jimmy were just acting.
Through the series, it is evident that both have upgrade their acting skills. They have completed their homework and delivered with a sweet tone.
Despite the possibility of improvements, such as smoother time transitions to fit the entire series, the outcome is still good and enjoyable.
It's definitely watchable re-re-rewatchable This series is full of meaning, feelings and precious moments... I was about to drop the series but then I gave it a shot and I fell in love with it ... if you're wondering , just start it and then come back to share it with us ?

im so mad
the only thing that the last episode made me feel was angry and sadness. before anything the ep was boring asf if we're focusing in the mhokday development as a whole. now why would you create such a beautiful story with such greats characters development just to throw it away in the last 20/30 minutes of the series like WHYYYY.days vision coming back adds nothing to the series and risk I say just make anything that they trying to portrait as a mensage in the rest of the serie meangless.
day spend the whole serie making peace with his blindness and fighting with himself and others to be accepted as a person like everyone else just to have a lazy narrative in the end that people are really happy when they don't have disabilities. shame on you aof.

10+++++
This series is the most heart warming show I have watched in years.Every single episode is breathtakingly beautiful and the music makes you feel warm and mellow.
The acting was insanely good. It must be so incredibly difficult to act blind and keep that continuity up for hours of filming, but Sea did it seamlessly. All the actors were great, and all their stories melded together to make the show wonderful and touching.
Overall: The story was beautiful, the acting was impeccable and the directing spot on. Lets hope we get more quality shows like this one in the future... :)

a masterpiece!
I absolutely loved this series! It was so good, interesting and emotional.Everything started with Day, a badminton superstar, who lost his sight during a match. On the other hand, Mhok - the other lead character, started a fight and ended in prison. In prison he heard that his sister killed herself and his whole world fell apart. Later on, Mhok was already free, but couldn`t find a job because of his dark past as a prisoner. No one gave him a chance and he found himself begging for a job as a caretaker. And the boy who needed a care was Day, whose sight became worse. Mhok didn`t want this job, Day`s mother was also against this idea, but Day wanted Mhok to help him.
Finally Mhok accepted the job. He also had a credit and maybe he would never see his sister`s car again, if he didnt find the money.
He tried his best, but Day was hard to please. Mhok was the only one who treated Day as a normal person. He conviced him to leave the house, to meet his old friends, еtc.
Even his mom didn`t understand him. She tried to protect him no matter what, but Mhok continued to "show" Day how beautiful life is, even though Day couldn`t see it at the moment. During these hard times, Day`s family waited for eye donation. Slowly Day and Mhok fell in love. Day`s love was so pure, he couldn`t have a chance to see Mhok`s face, but fell in love with his personality, voice and care.
Sea is such a good actor. The chemistry between Day and Mhok was on high level. Night, who was Day`s brother, was my favorite character too, even though he was a reason for Day`s blindness.
The moment when Day broke up with Mhok was awful and hard to watch. I knew that in the end they will meet again, their love was strong enough to beat every obstacle. Day`s last operation was successful and he finally got a chance to see his lover`s face.
I totally recommend this series. It is so good and interesting.
