Neither bad, but not that good either.
First i would like to say that i understand why people don't like this series, but i am here to give the pros and cons of it all.Plot: The story is rather good, but it's execution was a bit awkward at some parts and i easily skipped through the product placement bits cause it added nothing to the story itself. I also skipped a duo's parts cause, again, it added nothing much to the main plot.
Characters: The characters are not bad, but it lacked a bit more of construction specially on Kamol's hardcore bed preferences that were able to chase away any and everyone. Kim is also a character that had a nice base for it's character but ended up falling into the worst (my opinion) kind of BL cliché near the end.
Also, the character of Cherry is the biggest BL cliché of all. Ging Areeya (Cherry), who was great and sweet in "My ride", made me feel like they just tossed her here to add to the drama and with no base for her character at all, besides the fact that she is obsessive, annoying and incredibly beautiful. (Last one is my opinion)
Music: Oh, the music. This one was the worst of the worst. For all "tense" or "mafia" like scenes there was this ONE song that repeated again and again. Same goes for the main "romantic" song of this series. I heard it so many times that it felt like they were trying to brainwash me with it.
In the end, Unforgotten night is pretty enjoyable for a one time only watch and easily forgotten in the big sea of many other good dramas from the BL genre. I just gave this one a 6 point overall cause that 7 i already consider it to be the average for many of the dramas i watch.

The best ride right into my heart
What a sweet drama this is. If you like a slow burn filled with swoon-like moments, this is it.The whole time i was watching this 10 episode series, i could not help but just feel my heart squeezing at the heartbreaking moments and being filled with joy and warmth in the romantic ones.
It's just sad that it's so short. I think that if it had one more maybe the relationships would have more space to be developed and not feel as rushed (not talking about the main couple tough).
The acting was not the greatest in some parts, but nothing too bad that would be make someone question attittudes or anything like, just felt a little... awkward(?); and that still doesn't feel like the right word for it, but the closest i could thing off.
Anyway, it was nice ride, no, the best ride i had and it is one i can repeat again when i miss it.
Totally worth it.

My not so secret love
I just have one thing to say: Yes. A thousand times yes!What a cute little drama this was. I enjoyed from start to end and despite doing one cliché typical from any other BL series, it made fun, avoided and even turned around other typical tropes in this genre.
The acting and cast were amazing. Their lines and dialogues didn't feel awkward and had THE best flow i have ever seen in any drama of this genre. Things didn't feel rushed nor slow and even if i really wish we could have more story for some characters, everything was nicely developed and it wrapped itself beautifully.
Totally and completely worth a watch and i will surely be happy to check it out again after sometime.
