When Darkness Falls
I rarely give a 9/10, but this time, it's a 10/10 from me. Jimmy and Sea were superb, and delivered an amazing script. This was a BL that was not all sweetness and light, but at times, there was great sadness, as I contemplated what it would be like to lose my sight. I liked Jimmy's portrayal of the gruff thug, especially after seeing him in My Magic Prophecy with Sea. On the face of it, they (Jimmy and Sea) are an unlikely pair, but in the few shows I've seen of theirs, the magic is there. Sea was wonderful as the 'spoiled' brat with a handicap, who overcomes his fears through his interaction with Mhok - his 'care giver'. Having just watched Mark Pakin as the autistic student in High School Frenemy, it just emphasised how good an actor he is, as he plays a completely different role here. All the supporting cast - esp. Kun Kunchanuj, who played a blind man, were wonderful. The controlling mother -played by 'Cream' - I wanted to grab her and yell "He's a grown arsed man, FFS", but restrained myself. I love how the 'novel', Last Twilight, was woven into the script. There were no usual Thai NC moments, just love and tenderness, when the "first time" occurred. I can't praise this enough. I am sure there are some holes that can be poked, but right now, I cannot think of any.
