I would like to invite you to watch Last Twilight. This series tells the story of "Day," an athlete on the national team who is nearly blind, and "Mork," a young technician who has lost his family and is burdened with massive debt. The series is filled with characters in despair, yet also brimming with hope.
I believe that everyone in the world has their own "incompleteness" in life, just like Day and Mork, as well as every character in this story. This series will lead us to reflect on ourselves, to search for what we lack, and to question how we should deal with these issues and overcome tough times.
Throughout the process of writing this script, our team has spoken countless times of "hope." We all firmly believe that without hope, humans cannot move forward. Hope is like sunlight;
it is always there, whether it's day or night, whether you see it or not, no matter how blurred it may be.
Last Twilight might be heavy at times due to its themes, particularly those concerning disability and life. But believe me, everyone has their imperfections; it's not always about missing a part of the body. Sometimes, we may be more lacking than those who seem to have lost something.
In the end, we cannot become someone else; we can only be "ourselves." Therefore, I want to invite everyone to watch Last Twilight, to observe the mistakes, the pain, and the imperfections of life.
Yet at the same time, the series is also filled with everlasting hope... even if sometimes it's not easily seen.
The scriptwriter's inspiration for the breakup story between Mhok and Day provides some insights that can help us better understand the narrative:

I had an in-depth conversation with a blind friend of mine while preparing a script, particularly about love and intimate relationships. I asked him about the most painful breakup he ever experienced in his life. He told me that the relationship was beautiful, they were a great match, and both believed they could love each other for a long time.
His companion loved him deeply and took great care of him, but the only problem was that his companion was overly concerned about him. Although his companion allowed him the freedom to go anywhere, there was always a lot of worry, a need to protect, follow, and take care of him. At first, he felt it was a form of happiness, they couldn't bear to be apart, but over time, it became a source of pain.
My friend started feeling guilty because every time he went out, it caused inconvenience to his companion. There were no demands or force, but his companion couldn't help but worry. Initially, he tried to solve the problem by staying at home so his companion could lead a normal life, but soon, my friend started to feel tired of his own life. He felt like a fish trapped in a glass box, so he decided to break up.
I asked why they didn't try to communicate and adjust first. My friend said, "What can you expect from a young person in their twenties? That's their level of maturity." Looking back, he also felt he was too hasty, but the problem was the inner pain was inevitable. No blind person feels they should be a burden in someone else's life, and no one can endure that feeling for a lifetime.
People are confusing ACCEPTANCE with HOPE. Just because Day ACCEPTED his blindness, does not mean he can't HOPE to see his loved ones again.
IF HE DIDN'T NEED EYES TO BE HAPPY, HE DOESN'T NEED TO REMAIN BLIND TO BE HAPPY TOO.
IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICES.

heres some visually impaired/disabled people's thoughts on ep 12 ending

I watched 4/4 over and over again and I don't think the dilemma Day talked about was about his disability like, at all. I think the placing of the message was when Day gained his sight back was the reason causing misunderstandings that he's only happy after getting his sight back
"Life admist the dilemma" ชีวิตกลางมรสูม more direct way to translate is "Life admist the storm" which he also mentioned at the first part, I think it's not refers to his disability but more like what happened during 5 stages of grief to his complete "acceptance" after 3 years
