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.
