concept ruined by the makers!
okay this gave me mixed feelings. just had to watch for day and itt' original story.• The concept of one night stand turning into a love story might not be very new but the BDSM part was something that would definitely excite the audience and it is appealing but in the series it lacks pretty much everything.
I feel with such story and concept it was a blank canvas which could be used to create a masterpiece but it ended up like a 5 y/o scribbling.. it's actually way too off track. everything's so undefined. character coming and going randomly..
• Day.. wtf is this character just popping out with his boyfriend at the very first episode with absolutely no explanation but then become a very important part of the whole story (day and itt sory was pretty nice and was actually acceptable)
• the Danai character having just one motive "end the main lead" like wth go get a life man.
• I might get attacked for this but Yoon did a very terrible job as an actor like no he just couldn't fit in the role. with only one facial expression I was so confused what this guy is feeling. acting wasn't CLEARLY taken seriously here.
• climax being very shitty with no sense at all
(only khom and baiboon's story and character were well written and played well. though the age gap is questionable but it was cute and wholesome better then the entire show.. )
yeah the camera work was terrible too
bottom text: watch it if you can bare things not making sense and you have got too much time that you wanna waste it.

Worst BL drama I have ever watched
This could so easily have been really quite good. However the casting is terrible, Kamol has absolutely no sign of menace about him, Kim is too much of a wimp for him to ever ask a man to abuse or dominate him. The 'awful' abuse inflicted on Kim in the initial episodes showed a few minor bruises, much less than that inflicted on Kamo;l's first victim. Oh - it seems that they don't even know that a flail doesn't leave single whip marks.. Seriously Kamol make an effort show that you actually get turned on.Directing is so awful that the cast must have been allowed to do just one cut per scene.
Dreadful

Stuck it out. Get me a t-shirt.
Well.... It finished. And I still have mixed feelings. Mostly I feel bad for the timing of this series. Had it been aired a few months earlier, it would have been seen as quite revolutionary. Right now, after KinnPorsche, it is all coming up short. Blame the timing, blame the hype, it is what it is and that's just not very good and not up to standard. (I reviewed eps 1-8 earlier, see below.)The concept was pretty good. The visual outstanding. Great sets, beautiful lighting, very nice. The acting was spotty. Sometimes very good. Especially from Ton we get plenty of appropriate emotion. But sometimes really bad. Yoon and mafia is not a great match. In one scene he really nails it, in another he is bland as raw noodles or overacting so much it's cringe. Were Khom and Baiboon doing great, suddenly their story all but disappeared and they were left being props or set filling. I hated the Danil character. I would've happily punched him. The way he made a 180 after the kidnapping was very out of character. Kim is just too good of a person. I would not be so generous towards him. The whole suit thing has me puzzled. When and where did they change? In the car?? That would be some houdini stuff. Not in the house, since they are walking towards it... I just don't know. And what kind of celebration was this? What are they congratulated with? Most likely the retirement, but it's not mentioned once!
All in all this was just a feast of missed opportunities and bad choices, wrapped in a beautiful and sweet layer of fondant.
===============================
Review ep. 1-8
This series was hyped, and that is a dangerous thing. As we are seeing with KinnPorsche vs Check Out, it can go either way. So far this Mafia BL is somewhere in between those two. Not really worth the hype, but also not bad. There are many elements that make me come back every Wednesday to watch KamolKim. The developing feelings from Kim are natural an logical, even though they could stem from a sort of Stockholm Syndrome. In the beginning the chemistry was spotty, but it seems to be getting better, just as the relationship progresses. There does seem to be a whole story beneath the surface though, and I hope that we will get to see some of that. The way KhomBaiboon is being portrayed so far is *chefs kiss*. Respectful of the age (difference) but with so much feeling and passion in the glances and (near) touches. As said, there is enough here to keep watching, but they better deliver on what is being promised!

Terrible but you will still want to watch in hopes of it getting better
Kamol was the best thing about this drama. This drama was so terrible but I watched it purely because Kamol's role kept me engaged. There were a lot of things in this drama that could have been done better. The fight and shooting scenes just terrible. Make up and special effects, awful. It would have been nice if there was more time and effort put into this drama because it had the potential to be outstanding. because the plot is interesting. More research should have been done on how to be dominate or whatever it is called and expressions of passion. The actor who played Kim portrayal of passion was like watching paint dry on a wall. Also, I cannot understand why the director had him making such silly decisions. For example, he knows things are dangerous but he goes to the auction. His cries for attention were just plain silly and were borderline diva antics.Overall, I thought the drama plot was good but I just didn't like the delivery of the storyline. The acting was just terrible on every level. FYI...I gave the rewatch value a 0 but I have to put in a rating in order to submit the post.

how to ruin a promising story?
I finally understood why the series was violently attacked ... The series promoted several unhealthy ideologies and messages towards teenagers:- a sadistic relationship between a gangster and an accountant, fortunately the scenes are almost devoid of sadism.
- the series juggles dangerously with pedophilia through a love story between a child and an adult man who is the bodyguard of the main protagonist.
- the series shows a wild triple sexual relationship between three guards.
Frankly, I don't understand the purpose of destroying the show to normalize these dangerous teenage acts.
Firstly the main protagonists are too young and do not match at all with the personality of businessmen or mafioso supposed to be mature and dangerous ... secondly the first episodes of the series are very boring, especially since the director has destroyed the romantic night (the basis of the love story), so much it seemed childish, fast and very dull even for an ephemeral love relationship, compared to series of the same type like ( (Vegas and Pete in KinnPorsche)... thirdly, The scenes intimate between the two main protagonists (kim and kamol) are childish and immature to die for ... Finally, the only positive point of the series concerns the main characters on the one hand "kim" with his smirk trying to better than he can evolve with his character, on the other side ''kamol'' impassive, regardless of the emotional demands of the scene he remains frozen without any expression, and I don't know why, but I liked it ( it matched very well, for a mafia sadistic and cold person despite his young age).
But unfortunately, the themes that the series promotes are very dangerous and dirty. (I do not recommend)

This is the type of BL scenes I wanna see more of.............................................................................................................................................................................Esta resenha foi útil para você?
It's so awful that you can't stop watching it and end up loving it.
It's literally the worst. from the poor transitions to the awkward acting. The terrible music. The random scene that make you go why? The entire scenes for product placement that don't ever make sense. And I would still watch it again. Can't look away.This is the kind of drama you watch if you want a daytime soap opera vibe. And you won't be disappointed going into it if that's how you view it. Don't go in thinking this will be the greatest thing you've ever watched. Watch it for Whippeeld Cream and Kemo.

The unforgotten night turns into a forgettable series
First, we are sold a BDSM story but once the first episode is over, it is almost forgotten.Like in KinnPorsche, the police/mafia story is unfortunately totally secondary to the love story but at least in KinnPorsche, the characters, dialogues and direction had style. Here, the dialogues and situations are repetitive and uninventive. And above all, the character of Kim, angry and whiny, is unbearable. It's really hard to get attached to him and it is hard to understand what Kamon sees in him.
In summary: little interest to watch this series.

A Hot Mess
Let's be honest, this is some of the most vanilla kink you're going to see (and Kamala needs to learn how to flog someone properly).The acting is okay at best but the worst actor is sadly Yoon. The writing is awful so I can't blame You alone for why his depiction lacks so badly.
Kim can be pretty adorable. He's also often pretty dumb and should stand up for himself either more or differently than he does. He's not actually a doormat so I give him credit there.
The best couple gets the least screentime: Day & Itt (I had to repeatedly make sure this wasn't connected to Love Syndrome). Though the surprise throuple was fun.
The sweetest couple is honestly Khom and Baiboon even though they aren't technically a couple. And it makes me super uncomfortable how clearly attracted they both are given Baiboon is, as far as I can tella minor.
This series has the most inept gangsters. Terrible writing & a fair bit of terrible acting to go with it. Instalove on the most ridiculous basis. Supposedly kinky sex that's really just handcuffs after that first disasterous flogging (which makes Kamol's obsession with Kim even less believable for anyone who is even vaguely not vanilla). Tigers that I'm pretty sure we're sedated the whole time. Convoluted conflict. It is a HOT MESS (emphasis on mess).
So why did I keep watching it?
Itt's nephew Salmon and his dynamic with everyone he comes into contact with. Itt & Day. Baiboon! My previous boy Baiboon who is adorable and dumb. Kim & Baiboon's relationship. Hope of a couple people getting mauled (they don't, the tigers deserve better anyway). The weird car crash effect in full swing.
Is it good? No. Is it entertaining? Yes if your expectations are adjusted appropriately. Would I rewatch it? No. But did I have fun? Yes. And now I want to hug Kim and Baiboon. They're so squishable.

Pas assez fort, dommage
Pas si mal. Le problème, me concernant, est que cela ne va pas assez loin. Le roman est très graphique et le drama fait dans la demi-mesure, ce qui pose problème à des gens comme moi qui attentent quelque chose de plus jusqu'au-boutiste, mais également à des gens qui attendent quelque chose de plus léger et de plus doux. Le couple d'acteurs principaux est bon sans donner la mesure de ce qu'il serait possible de faire avec des personnages tels que Kamol et Kim, qui, je le rappelle, ont une relation sado-masochiste. Les personnages secondaires ne sont malheureusement pas assez travaillés. Seul Amen parvient à apporter assez de profondeur, en seulement quelques apparitions, à son personnage. Et que dire de la scène NC entre les trois gardes du corps, qui, si elle avait été annoncée par le développement de leur ménage à trois, aurait eu du sens mais qui tombe ici comme un cheveu sur la soupe.Unforgotten Night rentre dans la série des romans, graphiques et violents, de Yeonim, et est ainsi lié aux Love Syndrome, dont on retrouve certains personnages ici. Certes il est plus simple d'écrire et de dessiner des histoires sexuellement "violentes" que de les montrer, surtout quand on veut s'adresser à un large public, mais je me suis demandé plus d'une fois ce que cela aurait donné si on avait eu de vraies scènes BDSM et une vraie relation dom/sub. Dommage (me concernant encore une fois).

Painful to watch almost comedic BL
The whole premise is supposed to be based on a mafia boss falling in love with someone due to their similar sexual preferences, BDSM. However, the single BDSM scene they have looks hilarious and is beginner level. The face of the actors when doing this scene looks ridiculous and doesn't allow you to take it seriously. I literally burst out laughing when I was watching it because it was so cringey.Characters: The characters lack identity other than the stereotypical characteristics that they are given and their lines lack any depth. This is to the point that the supporting leads (other couple) seem completely unnecessary and the show would basically be the same without their characters. The main leads dont seem to have chemistry on screen and so everything looks forced. I honestly cant tell if the acting is terrible or if its just the script that lacks substance.
Considering the other high quality BLs that are coming out now, I cant help but feel like the director/script writers gave up on the show.

Well.. Love It or Hate It?
This is another series that seems to be a Love It! or Hate It! - Based on the reviews, which are either really high or really low!It makes me a little crazy when reviews contain comparisons to other series. This one is receiving a lot of comments about this series versus Kinn Porsch and why this one would have been rated higher if it had come out before KP. HUH??? Are there that many bl series out there to watch that we can afford to compare them and then rate them on that comparison? I think not. If I am going to do any comparisons, it's going to be Unforgotten Night versus the truly awful series like Even Sun and Check Out. Hands Down this series is better than some of the series that have come out in 2022.
And although I give both Kinn Porsche and Unforgotten Night high ratings, I actually enjoyed this one a bit more, mainly because the actors in this series were all very good looking and I really didn't care for the actors that portrayed Kinn or Porsche - they were not good looking at all and even their chemistry seemed more like sex and less like love, and they had some really stupid scenes. In Unforgotten Night even the bodyguards had decent screen time, were good looking and were decent actors.
As far as the series - of course there was a lot of hype that the show didn't live up to - isn't that true with any series? Otherwise, no one would watch them. It wasn't perfect, most series have flaws, but it was entertaining enough to keep me watching without hitting the fast forward.
