I’ve seen way worse with way better ratings
For those seeing all the chatter on Unforgotten Night and wondering whether or not to watch it, here’s my take – it was actually not as bad as I expected. A possessive mafia boss falling in love with a stubborn, hot-headed stranger, and essentially becoming a different person when he’s with him? SIGN ME UP.
Apart from Kim and Kamol, the second couple in the series – Baiboon and Khom - was such a pleasant surprise! The storyline featuring a bodyguard and the nephew of a housekeeper totally deserves a spin-off of their own – it was regrettable that their story was pretty much overlooked.
With plenty of other BLs out there, it’s tough to justify why dramas these days still have weird cuts and transitions that stand in the way of smooth storytelling. But I could still follow the story for the most part even though not everything made 100% sense. The actors are also fairly inexperienced, perhaps with the exception of Yoon (I am kinda happy to see him), so be prepared for the quality of acting to be lower.
Lastly, I just wanna say that this rating of 18+ is seriously justified. It’s not just the violence and BDSM but also a shocking (imo) scene involving some of the bodyguards that didn't get very much screen time... but exists nonetheless. ;)
