A MASTERPIECE
Just watch it yourself and you will know why I rated this series as 10/10. The story, actors, script, cinematography, and music are so perfect. Hands down! Really is one of the BEST. I understand why some people got disappointed with its ending but for me, it just tells us, the viewers that until there is a new day, there is still hope. Last Twilight book is about Mee’s story and the Last Twilight series is about Day’s. The book just served as an eye-opener to every character in the series.Was this review helpful to you?
THE BEST TWILIGHT EVER!
I don't usually write reviews unless what I watched turns out be an art of masterpiece that drags my lazy ass to write a review on it. Where do I even begin? (Because I am crying this series has ended...)Let's talk about P'Aof, the director. I know he is exceptional and always gives us masterpieces...but he went too far...I am sure he can't create a better masterpiece than Last Twilight. Because LT has reached such lengths and has set the bars so higher that's its currently somewhere in the stratosphere...P'AOF, THE DIRECTOR YOU ARE...
JimmySea served us with their amazing acting and insane chemistry with Vice Versa. I had no doubts about their acting, but Sea as Day outdid his acting performance. Its not easy to act as a blind person when you can clearly see. And also those micro-expressions he makes...I want Jimmy and Sea to win best actor awards and P'Aof as best director now. You can't turn a blind eye to such a marvelous work.
Mark and Namtan were the best pair I ever imagined. GMMTV should give them a new series because their chemistry is chemistrying...I wouldn't mind a spin-off with them along with some scenes of DayMohk.
I wish all those BL haters and non-BL people see this work. That way they will realize LOVE IS LOVE and how beautiful the journey of DayMohk's love was.
Overall: 100/10. I will come again and again because this show makes want to believe in hope, love and life.

The best BL series ever done (so far)
It has been an incredible experience, it is the first time I have cried watching a BL.The script was perfectly made and had an amazing direction, the emotional scenes were well acted and I never felt cringe while watching them, which usually happens in BL series. The scenography was also very good, I highly enjoyed the changes in illumination and scene colouring.
The actors were amazing, Jimmy and Sea have perfect chemistry which gives credibility to their performance. The only thing that could have improved in my opinion was the costume design (although it is mostly because I hated Mohk's scruffy moustache XD). Apart from that 10/10!

What is the last image you want to see?
Thai Boy Love drama has amassed a sizeable local and international fanbase, built largely on a repertoire of fluffy storylines and served by a coterie of good looking male actors.However, a main critique is that many Thai BLs have weak plots and are full of loopholes. They often require viewers to suspend disbelief.
Over time, BL fans are exposed to quality international entertainment such as "Dear Ex (2014)", "Call Me By Your Name (2017)", "Night Flight (2018)", and "Your Heart Engraved Herein (2022)". So it is understandable that fans' expectations for Thai Bus have also increased.
Thankfully, once in a blue moon, a gem emerges from the Thai BL industry.
"I Told Sunset About You (2020) ", "Bad Buddy (2021)" & "KinnPorsche (2022)" are widely regarded memorable works in recent years.
Amongst the creative teams behind some of these titles are independent screenwriter Bee Pongsate Lucksameepong and GMMTV's senior director / producer / screenwriter Aof Noppharnach Chaiyahwimhon.
Last Twilight (2023) is their most recent collab, and has garnered an impressive 8.5 on MDL. It is a showdown with iQiYi's "I Feel You Linger In The Air (2023)" which as 8.4 on MDL.
1. Main character Mhok is a 20 plus year old mechanic. He was recently released from prison for battery and assault charges. His only remaining relative (elder sister Rung) took her own life after a failed nail salon business, mounting debt and depression. Mhok has had several ex-es (whom we assume were all female) and his most recent ex is Porjai, a waitress who is now single and pregnant by a philandering guy. Mhok is a rough and tough bad boy who smokes, drinks, gambles and fights. The kind your mother warned you about. But Mhok has a gentle soul and can be the sweetest, most caring and self-sacrificing person.
2. Day is a college sophomore (around 19 years old) and a rising national badminton doubles player. He is spoilt by his doting single mom who is a successful chef. She buys him a BMW! Day self-professes he is vain, foul mouthed and arrogant. Hence he does not have that many friends in the badminton club. His best friend is a female badminton player called Gee. Day is a closeted straight acting gay and he has had a long time secret crush on his badminton doubles partner August. We assume he has never dated before. Day got into a car accident when he had to fetch his drunk older brother Night home from a club. This caused Day to lose 80% of his vision and he blamed Night for this accident.
Due to twists of fate, Mhok ended up working as caretaker for Day. The pair starts their platonic employer-employee relationship addressing each other with the distant and polite Khun.
Mhok is grateful for having a much higher income as caretaker compared to his car mechanic income, and takes his job seriously. During this employment, Mhok encourages Day to stop staying inside his room and go out and reintegrate with society. Slowly but surely, Mhok realises his feelings for Day is more than that of a caretaker. Mhok confesses to his ex Porjai he likes Day. Porjai is not surprised because Mhok has unconsciously been talking about Day all the time.
However, this is one of the biggest loopholes in the series. If Mhok has always dated females in the past, then his acceptance of his bisexuality seems too simple / unrealistic. However, if Mhok has always been bisexual, then the show should have made this more apparent. As such this was never fully or properly addressed.
Jimmy plays Mhok. He has a really handsome side profile, with rich black eye lashes, sharp nose and wonderful skin.
Sea plays Day. He has full thick eyebrows and a very beautiful advertisement worthy smile. Both of them take care of their physiques well by frequent exercise.
I am very very glad they did not use excessive makeup or hair product for both main characters, allowing them to celebrate their natural beauty. I am quite upset why this poster is selected for the MDL library. It does not do them any justice.
Jimmy and Sea are relatively new actors. Prior to Last Twilight, they were cast for the 1st time as main roles in "Vice Versa". They have both improved tremendously in Last Twilight. Both are serious actors who give 10003%.
My favourite episode is Ep6. This is such a heart wrenching yet full of love scene with twists and turns. You will fall so deep in love with characters Mhok and Day, and Jimmy and Sea.

One of GMMTV's actual magnum opuses in terms of BL selections.
While this may sound exaggerated and emotionally-charged, that's almost what most reviews always are either way even if some people say they're being objective. Either way, this show was truly something spectacular, to the point where I can say that this is one of the best BLs GMMTV has ever made, considering their abysmal and mediocre plethora.Acting-wise, both Jimmy and Sea did incredibly well, and it felt like the long pauses that GMMTV, as per usual, loves to do to jarringly fill out their usual 43-minute shows' timeslot did not feel like filler.
Story-wise, the storyline was good all around. However, I do share the same sentiment as other people saying that Episode 11 was genuinely unnecessary. But to say that everything past Episode 9 was not needed is where I would disagree. Episode 9 was pivotal for Day since while Mee's story ended in the book, it also marked the rebirth of Day in which he now, temporarily, has to live his life as a blind man. Going back, I did feel that Episode 11 was completely unnecessary and was inserted for the sake of having conflict; however, the conflict still makes sense considering the amount of times Day has said that he does not want to be seen differently. However, I do have to double down and say that it irked me when he dismissed Mhok's reason for staying, started being bratty out of nowhere (which was a little bit justified), and how I wish he could have properly apologized to Mhok in Episode 12. But hey, you don't always get what you want. However, I wouldn't say these episodes were what made the show bad. That's like saying HIStory 3 was terrible after the writers killed off Yu Xi Gu.
Music & Score-wise, it was good. I don't usually pay attention to background music especially when I'm enveloped with the actors themselves. BUT, the scene with both of them singing in the car in Episode 4 will always have a special place in my heart, and will always be something I would rewatch.
Rewatch value-wise, lol, I've rewatched this so many times and I haven't gotten sick of it. Like, it's just THAT good.

This will make you believe in love again
Man. This series was everything ! 2023 was filled with many disappointing bls, therefore I did not have high expectations for this one either. I thought it was going to be yet another cheesy bl but this time with a blind ml, but my oh my, was i wrong?This series made me feel so many emotions. I cried with them, I laughed with them, I squealed at their cute little romantic moments, I loved every second of this !
A disabled character is very difficult to play, and Sea did a great job, as always. I have to talk about Jimmy's character 'Mhok'. So, this Mhok is a tough baddie kinda guy, and you could see how his personality literally CHANGED little by little. At the beginning, he was shown to be rough in behaviour, with almost EVERYONE. Day was no exception, but as he opened his heart little by little you could see how he started treating Day oh so gently, as if Day was a fragile glass utensil which could easily break if not handled carefully. His eyes softened, his tone became so gentle and he treated Day so so tenderly that a part of me melted.
The side characters, They were so beautifully written too ! Everyone had a story to tell, and as you watch you would be so ready to listen to all of their stories ! All the actors did such a great job portraying those characters !
I have nothing bad to say about this show and I could go on and on about how much I loved it. This was an absolute 10 on 10.
A MUST WATCH !
So run to YouTube right now and you won't regret it <3

i mean definitely over hyped...
i would like to start with the poor and weak plot, i ain't no hater but the plot was boring and weak and had almost nothing instersting or new to it.the plot just continues as a blind man trying to live in a judging society...
the cast was good all of them have the talent needed, none of them use their talent the right way.
the cast is good looking and have history in acting but i don't feel like the series suited them that much...
the ost was overall bad. not much to say about it, it just lacks something in it.
if you don't want your time being completely wasted don't even think about rewatching...
if i as a person who watched last twilight i sometimes got bored and had to skip.
i'm not afraid to say it a lot of parts when the end was approaching were just BAD.
they are boring and have no plot nor romance to them.
overall i think this series is not a must but if you are really bored you could try.

A series that i would want to watch again and again
This made me want to fall in love.I can confidently say without any regrets that i watched it on air. Got to expeience the beauty of this series every week. Had butterflies in my stomach watching for fridays and trust me not single episode disappointed me.There are very few series that are not meant for binge watching and this is one of those rare diamonds.
The story was made so beautiul that after finishing the entire series you go back to ep 1 rewatch and think that the leads have come a looong way.
Cant deny JimmySea's chemistry is on FIRE!!! Their visuals in this series are just exceptional. I cried with them laughed with them and felt the flutters with them.
This is such a beautiful mix of geners and an amazing love story. I literally felt heart flutters even when the leads did nothing but just looked at each other. That is when you know love is more than just words.
The side characters are fine not that great but ok they support the plot well. Jimmy and Sea just stole the show for me. Must say not 100% of the plot was perfecf but what ever misperfections they had all of it can be forgotten as they have someamazing scenes and well written dialogues.
Oh God the OST's of this series are so beautiful and fits perfectly to the story. My personal favorite "last twilight" by william. Such meaningful lyrics!!!
Must mention, i cried my eyea out every episode, i was involved to such a point that in last episode tears roled down my eyes bu just looking at the leads
Last Twilight has defiently set the bars high for not just BL's but entire Thai lakorns.

TOO BEAUTIFUL TO BE REVIEWED IN WORDS
I'm in a shortage of words because I don't think any human language can possibly depict how beautiful this journey was !! I had no expectations while starting this show because GMMTV series are not that impressive nowadays but when I gave it a chance it was boomm. I should thank myself for it <3. As there's a saying unplanned things always turn out the best, it was exactly that for me. And i fell in love with them more and more every week !!This was probably the best BL of the year or of GMMTV production. I'm not much a fan of GMMTV series, i watch them because I don't have any choice. It was the first time I didn't have any complaints about a single thing !! Jimmy and Sea totally nailed it, I was awestruck by their acting because in VICE VERSA (their first BL) they lacked in acting so I was so happy and impressed, now they are my favourite. I think this deserves a lot more hype.
The story, acting, ost everything was point. Director did a great job indeed. Anyways just go and watch you'll surely love it if you're a sucker for slow-burn, well written script, books, nature and obviously the undeniable chemistry ?

I LOVE JIMMYSEA….
This is my first series that I’ve watched with JimmySea and I definitely fell in love with them. Their chemistry is off the charts and it fit the story so well. I was skeptical with watching it because I didn’t know if GMMTV was gonna give this story justice but it definitely was amazing. The story was heartfelt and so emotional which I feel like fits JimmySea. I loved the ending (even though most people didn’t), I thought the ending was something positive and happy. I love happy endings so I enjoyed the ending.I also loved Mark in this series. He literally has chemistry with anyone he is put with so I’m excited to see who his next partner is.

This emotional rollercoaster stole my heart
I just finished it and I feel like my emotions are all over the place. First I am really thankful that there was a happy ending for them. I am not against sad endings. I really believe some stories need them. But I am so glad this wasn't the case. And by a happy ending, I mean the part around the wedding. The fact that Day was content with his life and believed in himself and that Mhok was able to acknowledge his past mistakes made me really happy. Of course, I am glad Day was able to see Mhok at the end but I would be totally content if it ended after the wedding. I know that there were so many things wrong if you look at it from the POV of a disabled person but I can't even be mad about it because Sea and Jimmy are just amazing together. The storytelling was written perfectly, and the atmosphere of each episode had the exactly right amount of sorrow, sweetness, brightness and cringe. It was an azing show and now I am just sad it's over and with what am I supposed to do next Friday?Was this review helpful to you?
