It took us on a New Experience.|Overall: 10/10
This was one hell of an emotional ride, at least for me. Never in my life of watching BL have I ever cried for a series, but this series outdid itself. There was nothing bad about this series [-_-]Starting with JimmySea, I remember their acting in ViceVersa. So cute I wanted a series of them for 2023. I didn't know that this series was already in production, and I didn't even know about this until 4 months before the official trailer came out. That's when I found out about the pilot trailer and then everything about this.
I am glad I found out about this series.
Next Up, Mark and Namtan. I knew about them from a reality show on gmmtv and I loved them there. Wanted a series on them, I remember I tried typing a message on gmmtv Twitter but then deleting it right away. I never knew I'd get a series on them actually, but these to are officially my favourite straight pairing of 2023.
Supporting actors and actresses did a fantastic job. I loved On and Pla so much. They were so cute, that I rewatched their scenes at least twice every time they came on screen.
Overall, this series is highly recommended.

Wonderful!
My emotions were all over the place throughout this show! My heart was full with sadness, hurt, hope, love and so much more! I cried, I laughed, I squeeled, I was angry and threw my pillow away as many times as I choke it! (My poor pillow had it really rough every friday! )The way this show was edited, the storywriting, the quality of the production, the cast, the acting, the overall atmosphere it created and the ending were all just perfect! This show is one of the best I ever saw and it is so unique, so real without piling up on unnecessary things, it is dramatic without dragging it out to long, sweet moments weren't cringe, characters were believable. The decisions that were made were reasonable and the emotions were never over the top.
The last episode was everything I needed and so much more! I bit my pillow and made sounds that weren't human anymore because I was so excited and it was so, so good! (Especially after the letdown of another airing series about a certain alpha... ) I really cried because I was so happy, but I'm sad that I will never experience the rollercoaster of emotions again! I wish I could erase my memory and watch this again and again for the first time, so that it can smack me with its perfection again and again!
You need to empty your head and heart and just feel this show, let it take you through a story of of loss, anger, hurt, hope, love, fear and so much more! Like Day said: Some things you need to see with your heart, not your eyes, then they will become clear.
And this show is one of those things! I fell in love with Mhok almost instantly and Day grew onto me after I got the feeling for him. Sea did such a great job with his acting, I almost believed he was really sight impared! Mhok was so nonchalant in the beginning and Jimmy mastered the way of showing emotions through his mimic, every grin had a meaning and his eyes.... oh my gosh, his eyes! When the tears were balancing, just about to fall, but not yet ..... you could /feel/ his love, hope, the crushing weight of his own helplessness!

As Mhok said, "why does it end like this?"
The first 9 episodes were 10/10. The cinematography was amazing, as well as the emotion, like in episode 5 with the flowers and memorial bridge, and especially episode 9 at the end when Day and Mhok are at the top of the mountain (that scene alone was just like 100/10).Day was really unlikable to me, but for the plot I think his character was almost perfect. It was just annoying when Mhok kept trying to be sweet and just help him throughout the series but then Day is just acting like a brat- but his character development throughout the series was decent. I think though that he was very irrational at the end when he decided to break up with Mhok just because Mhok wanted to stay with him and not go to the States. If they had just talked about it like adults instead of Mhok but accepting it and Day crying to his mom it would have actually been so much better. Overall the breakup was so unnecessary and didn't feel like it had any reason to it.
When they were on the mountain at the end of the 9th episode it would've been a perfect spot to end the show. I know that it would have left the show ending abruptly, with not knowing about the eye donation and everything else but it really didn't need the last 3 eps. I think the backlash for ending at episode 9 would be less than a lot of the comments about the actual ending. Ig after episode 9 wasn't a complete waste though, I liked the 10th episode even though a lot of it was sad. (I was devastated when I thought that the new caretaker got rid of the fish slippers)
But the ending felt like a complete waste of the show tbh. 12 hours of watching just for it to have like 2 mins actually showing him having his eyesight back for the first time??? It feels like it was just moved on from the whole point too quickly especially with the 3 year cut. The ending was happy but there wasn't as much emotion as compared to when they were on the mountain and Mhok was "the last thing" that Day saw. At first when it was said that the last page was ripped out of the Last Twilight book, I thought that it was going to be like that for the show. If it ended at episode 9 there could've been that connection to the book and the series (apart from the obvious connection with the stories).
It was really amazing and one of my favorites so far, but the ending just wasn't it.

It was good untill..
This was a very good series untill I got to episode 11.. it seemed kind of random and out of the blue for day to break up with Mhok and out of character and the ending seemed rushed as well it was something everyone has seen before as well, if you are going to do a unique story can you at least have a good ending? We have seen the whole boyfriend overseas things a hundred of times!! I was expecting more.. To add to this, when day saw Mhoks face for the first time clearly I was expecting some whole big reaction but there was nothing.. come on!? That was supposed to be a big highlight !?!?! Also I didn’t really feel Days love for mhok.. was it that weak you couldn’t look over the fact mhok was worried about leaving you because of his trama ?? This is more a day criticism I also felt he was a bit self-centred and mhok had to apologise TWICE?? Anyway.. back to the actually story the it was a good series untill the disappointing last two episodes, it ruined it all for me ?Was this review helpful to you?

I couldn't stop watching
I'm glad I waited until the whole drama was over before watching it. I didn't sleep, I almost didn't even eat and I couldn't concentrate on anything. After a very long time, the drama grabbed my heart so strongly and it's one of about 5 dramas I've seen so far that really made me want to cry but also laugh.I strongly thought about rating 10/10 because the last two episodes really changed my opinion about this drama. Some decisions seemed to me unexplained, illogical. The end seemed very rushed to me, I would have liked more than about 10 minutes to show life after the operation.
I was very sorry that the side couple Night/Phojai didn't get more screen time.
I find more and more mistakes and things I didn't like. But I leave the rating 10/10, I will remember this drama for a very long time and there will definitely be a rewatch.

criei apego emocional
eu sabia que essa série ia me pegar de jeito mas CARA EU NAO ACHEI QUE FOSSE SER NESSA INTENSIDADEeu to querendo CHORAR só pela pureza das demonstrações de afeto e eu nao consigo CONCEBER como jimmysea estão sendo gigantes numa historia tão sensível e amorosa.
*** chorei nos ultimos 3 episodios e nem foi de tristeza (na maioria das vezes) mas o relacionamento de todos os personagens e a historia de vida de cada um só me fez torcer pela felicidade de todos eles.
e realmente, todo mundo merece dar uma segunda chance pra si mesmo e tentar ser feliz de novo. O ultimo por do sol é a ultima imagem de luz e esperança que a gente segura até o ver de novo.

Same feelings as for The Eclipse
If "Only friends" gave me the same feelings like "Love in the air", then "Last twilight" give me "The Eclipse" vibe.Eps. 1-2: I need a new obsession after "Only Friends" and I think this one is the winner. The Saturday obsession is over to start the Friday one. It won't be the same feelings and the same expectations with the soul in the mouth, but it has potential.
I've only seen 2 episodes of Viceversa, it didn't pique my curiosity enough to continue it, but JimmySea is a couple I wanted to see again. And I like them a lot in this one.
I like the characters and the story (so far), I hope it doesn't start to rush. In episode 2 I felt a rush after the "fight" between Day and Mhok. How can you miss a person you've known for a few days?
Eps. 3-4: They were so cute. I love the characters, Jimmy and Sea do a wonderful job portraying Mhok and Day.

Another masterpiece from GMMTV
When you wake up in the morning, the whole world is against you. Labelled you as a criminal; no one is willing to give you a chance to get on your own two feet. Huge debt; lost the only family. Fighting alone on the battlefield is the only way to survive every single day.Close your eyes and open them again. Those of us who have the luxury of seeing the world for granted get to pick when we think about seeing the world and our loved ones: do what we want, walk freely, or run. Every step is a battle, a victory, and a terrible reminder that you are suddenly blind. Only 10 hours per day can you see the world.
But fate brought these two people together. (And Little Day and Big Mhok, too.)
BOOM! and that plot works. Ladies and gentlemen, Beware of the emotional roller coaster in the future.
Excellent delivery to the audience because I can feel every inch of emotion from each and every character. The actors did a great job because acting felt realistic, especially in Jimmy and Sea. Because when the acting is compared to the series Vice Versa, it is more realistic, mature, and polar opposite from what we have seen, and the main leads have shown their full potential and capabilities.
The CG in the opening parts was a thoughtful idea. Since most of the audience does not have medical expertise, literally, you can get an idea of how Day sees the world every day within a single span. And how can a normal person see the world?
At first, I was wondering why they were using quotations from Little Prince. But it really works. Kudos to whoever gave the idea. All it gives is a secret message and inner feelings of Day to the audience.
So far, it's an excellent drama. I hope this won't make me disappointed.

the Green Flag series in a sea of Reds
If you're looking for a love story about a healthy relationship with deep connection, this is the one for you. I enjoyed how the characters healed each other and became better versions of themselves. Mok is such a likeable character and Day was a good balance of angst and hope.There were some magical moments that were iconic like the "one palm distance close up", the "last twilight" scene at the top of the mountain, the moment when Mok's inner fears manifested as a result of their deepening relationship and he made the choice that he knew would hurt Day deeply, and when Night broke down during the family dinner over stew. These moments were magical because of the build up, the symbolism, the contexts that many can relate to, the raw emotions delivered by the actors, and they gave the characters depth and brought them to life.
While there were some stand-out moments in terms of cinematography and script (e.g. the last twilight scene) the musicality was odd in certain places and over dramatic in some.
The actors have a very natural chemistry and are able to portray a love that's mature and grounded in trust and respect.
Overall it was an enjoyable watch and I would have given it a higher rating if it had an alternative ending. I'm on team "should've been status quo" for this one...

My new favorite Thai BL
This show was amazing. An absolute beautiful masterpiece storyline and concept. I feel like the ending was a little rushed, but I think the rest of the story makes up for it. The progress from the beginning to the end of the story is very good. The way Jimmy perfectly depicted P’Mhok changing for his love for Day. Day also acted well as being disabled. Although the series had some depressing parts, it really contributed to the storyline. JimmySea underrated kings rise again! I definitely recommend this series to people who are looking for series with many emotions engraved in it!Was this review helpful to you?
