надо читать новеллу

Закончив смотреть, задумалась, а стоит ли писать комментарий. Наверное многие зададутся тем же вопросом. Решила почитать комментарии на всех возможных ресурсах и вывод один - надо читать новеллу. Тогда все без исключения вопросы по сюжету отпадут. Но так как я не читала, я не могу объективно судить сюжет. Тогда пройдусь по актерам и режиссуре. Лонг Ши. Мне очень нравится этот актер. И по последним работам я просто восхищаюсь именно его игрой. Создается впечатление, что везде играет только он один. Игра остальных - провальная. Тот же Фрэнк (да простят меня его фанаты) , помня его другие роли - я наверное слишком много от него ожидала и ожидания не оправдались. И плюс этот парик на голове был просо лишним уже в последних сериях, когда у Фрэнка уже отросли волосы. Это конечно нюансы и мелочи, не имеющие отношение к сюжету, но отвлекало сильно. (меня). Очень понравилась игра Харта и Нона. Эти двое делали прекрасную химию, взаимодействие и отличная игра. Жаль, что было у них мало экранного времени и очень бы хотелось увидеть следующее - это их историю. Мне не очень понравилась история "чокнутого профессора", точнее вообще присутствие этого нашего злодея в очках. Он был слишком мультяшный что ли. и его поведение, смех... все провальное. Такой бегающий истерик, который в принципе даже не пугает, а просто лишний компонент лакорна. Экшн-сцены были хороши, реально хорошо. А вот вся сюжетная линия была бы лучше, если бы редактор был бы более аккуратен в нарезке. Говорят UNCUT будет более раскрытым. Что же, буду ждать его. Эта история меня не взволновала.

Make your own opinion

I took a lot of time to watch it. No lie let me tell you with the trailer details my expectations weren't too high.
Instead when watching this, I was filled with curiosity:
1) How this duo will make me go crazy humm yes you heard it crazy with a lot of sweetness, high desire tension around the air no need for an explicit scene just that vibe. yes, we got just a little scene within.

2)How sweet, sad, and happy I can be?
What about the challenges? are we going to see the go-around come back around? like recovery and losing process for both partners?

3)How far the circle of loving you or not will go?

Now my opinion let me be brief :
it was well (reason for 7/10) why? you may ask because it was filled for me with some missing scenes like: what happened before that event(you know what I am talking about humm) when going abroad with his brother what happens there? how did he plan to get back at him (I am talking about having a clean and details explanation) Short be clear because that part make me so confused no I don't want to use my imagination because it has an open imagination and it will not answer my questions how the ended up liking each other. we can feel some rushed about it but some far so good we have some love, pain, joy and etc.

NB: Good Ending ❤️

Watch to get your own opinion

A lot of people will disagree just looking at all the reviews I’ve seen but to be honest I think this was a good drama. Some parts of the story were a little iffy and the script could have been a little better but overall the actors and the concept really make this great. You can pretty much understand the concept of this story and where each episode is going. I like how unlike many others you don’t know how the next episode or rest of the story is gonna play out. The story overall is a 8/10 there’s room for improvement but is not by any means bad. I came at this drama with a mindset of “oh it’s not gonna be good since the rating isn’t great” just to come out of this really enjoying the series. It’s made my heart clench so many times and I don’t feel like this often with series but it really pulled at the heart strings. I feel like this series can be a hit or miss depending on the person but was a hit for me

Una serie non-sense senza capo né coda

Sostanzialmente uno spreco di tempo. Una serie davvero senza senso alcuno. Si presenta come uno spin-off della meglio riuscita Unforgetten Night, ma ci ho messo un po' a capire il nesso: attori cambiati (che senso ha?!?!), salto temporale, riferimenti non immediati. Ci sono arrivata solo perchè i due nomi mi ricordavano lontanamente qualcosa.
La serie parte dalla coppia già consolidata, l'evento catastrofico del primo episodio consiste sostanzialmente in una scenata isterica da parte di Itt per una torta (si, avete capito bene, una torta) e Day che sopporta silenziosamente - lo sa il cielo perchè - le piazzate infantili di un Itt che è a tutti gli effetti un bambino viziato. Queste sono le solide basi di partenza. Poi - colpa della torta! - ci aggiungiamo un incidente con perdita di memoria, altre scene non senso che riempiono un episodio dopo l'altro, poi un'altra amnesia (ormai ci siamo abbonati), e per finire altre scene non senso. La storia si conclude con la coppia, insieme come lo era all'inizio, ma con la grande conquista che Itt non sclera più per la torta. Buona NON visione.

This is so stupid but good in its own way.

When watching the trailer I thought it was going to be way different. I thought we were gonna get this super like abusive toxic thing but that’s not what happened. I think Day losing his memory kind of makes it not that bad but still bad that in its own way. However, this really isn’t that bad.

To be honest, this is a drama I think you either love it or hate it. I think the actors Long and Frank are way better off camera than acting. There’s so much cuter together as themselves than as Day and Itt. I was watching a clip from a fan meeting they did and Frank got really emotional talking about how much Long means to him. I think the idea of the story line isn’t terrible. It can definitely work however, it’s just executed very poorly. I actually like this drama better than a lot of other people. The author is the same for unforgotten night so that may be why. The book for unforgotten night is so messy. Like if I didn’t know any better, I’d say the drama and the book are both different things not related to each other. That’s just how different they are. And to be honest I think I’m going to need to read the books for life syndrome just to see how different it is from the drama. I’m not like surprise they kind of got married in the end, but it was so like spontaneous. At least an unforgotten night it made sense even though it’s not originally in the book it made sense.

I really like all the actors though. I thought they were all very handsome and did a good job with the character portrayal. They all seemed to have very good and natural chemistry with each other. Nothing felt very awkward.

Now they’re preparing for the first book of love syndrome. I saw that announcement on Frank’s Instagram page. To be honest, I’m not very excited for it because love syndrome was kind of a letdown, but I think I’m gonna watch it just to understand what exactly is happening and how bad the relationship is and just how terrible everything is. I’m actually kind of dreading the drama, but at the same time I kind of want to see what happened to make them get to that point in the drama. But from my understanding basically everyone in the drama should be in jail and not a couple.

God, this is so painful to watch, but yet kind of enjoyable

A lot to unpack!

This show was problematic, over the top, and toxic, but damn was it entertaining!

I personally enjoyed the show and how dramatic it was despite the realistically problematic nature. My only actual complaint is...

THE FLASHBACKS

GOOD GOD!

This show could've easily been 2 episodes shorter if they cut out all these unnecessary flashbacks!! That's what kept me from being able to give this an 8 star. Unless it was Day regaining his past memories, we didn't need a flashback, and we didn't need to see it more than once either! The show was constantly replaying scenes we already saw as well as flashbacks, multiple times, sometimes more than 2 to 3x. It was so absurd and unnecessary.

I loved Night and Nick's side relationships with their partners. They were a very enjoyable part of the cast. Mac's was very confusing to me, like was he a hostage or what?? ?

Anyway, if you like absurd shows and don't mind problematic content then you may enjoy this crazy gem!

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW A BAD FILM-CREW CAN RUIN A GOOD POTENTIAL SERIES

I've said it before. Screenwriters make or break a story. And this one has a LONG list of horrible, messy scripts thay make NO SENSE, in her register.

- Time to admit defeat and acknowledge that screenwriting is NOT for you, Poy. You're probably a great person... but, your scripts are not.

The Director was also a wrong choice... did he even care for anything but the pay check at the end of the shift? ...

The anger in me, watching people blame the actors for this is just deafening. They aren't bad at their jobs. In fact:

ROSSI does a PHENOMENAL rendition of Night, based off his character's manners in the Novel.?? Well done!

ART understood the assignment & does a phen job at portraying Gear's overprotectiveness of both Itt & his posessiveness of Night, causing him to be defiant of Day to the point of being his punching bag to gain simp with Night.??Well done!

LONG LEE as Day might seem like an odd choice, but he also understood the assignment well, the turbulent balance between violence & tenderness that Day has going on in the novel is like turning a lightswitch, and he gets it on point how it's frustrating for Day when Itt is so very flippant with that switch..

FRANK pulls off the perfect balance of Barking Dog Stupid Bravery & Shaking Mouse PTSD that Itt has in the novel too. Even if the bathroom scene we see totally lacks the subtext from the novel where it is literally from Itt's pov & he could have easily thrown Day off if he had wanted to, but in the novek he let's Day choke him, in case it might bring back his memories... Something the script completely erased, the director forgot to note in & the screenwriter definitely missed.... (It was the tiny smile from Itt just after they get interrupted by Nick) after Day threatens him....

----> Frank and Long pull this delicate balance off really well. It's not Love, it's Fragile Codependency. Stockholm/Lima effect. They understood the assignment better than the scriptwriter <-----


.... and then there's Hearth & Non ...
Why waste such good potential with casual mentions & a few hinting scenes? ...
- Mac is not allowed to leave Nan's side for most of the novels. Seriously where Nan is, Mac is always within eye's sight (as Nan was taught by Day, Who did the same to Itt) ... Mac is allowed his freedom if he obeys the rules and curfews (or else... SA is the only other option, shame on you for that, Nan! Then again, you learned it all from Day...) ... & Mac's defiance is slowly, but surely, diminishing through out the story, and this is ongoing up until the ALMOST BIG FINALE... but NanMac has a novel series of their own, paralell to Love so Brutal, that explains what goes on with them before & after they interact with DayItt's timeline... and that subtext is just NOT coming off the screen (seriously anyone read the novels will know, and anyone illiterate will have zero clue and these TVOnly-illiterates will bully the shit out of the actors with this ignorance of never reading anything)

It feels like the scriptwriter just opened a random chapter in the novel and decided to write that into the script... not bothering much further tham that for anything... it's so bad... same for the guys who edited it and added the sound... wth!?

I know it's Art singing. Phenomenal btw. But the song is abused by the cutting/editing crew.. it does not make a good final product.

To absolutely NO FAULT of his, or the other Actors...

LS2 and Unforgotten Night, are both Perfect examples of what happens when good sourcematerial gets handed to BAD scriptwriters & Directors ... They are both great evidence of how a terrible Producer, Editing & Sounds Crew & a dgaf Director, can RUIN a good potential series...

Regardless of how good of an acting team they collected for it.


I am once again disapointed.. guys, read the novel & find out EVERYTHING that is missing from this terrible script.. So much context just skipped ..

I doesn't matter how good I think these actors are doing (they are the sole reason I am still watching tbh) .. .

This show was ruined by a bad film-crew.

Yikes

TRIGGER WARNING.
Not every manga, webtoon, or novel needs to be adapted for tv. This is so cringe. Before getting into the plot just objectively this is not a good show. Without having read the synopsis for the book I first just found everything lacking in the show. No offense to Frank but I expected more. To his credit, Itt seems like a truly very difficult character to play given how incredibly annoying he is. Neither Frank nor Long is a rookie, but really I've been following Frank's career from the beginning so I know he can do better. The characters just seem to lack depth. The production is not good. A lot of the editing decisions were iffy. Chunks of dialogue don't have subs and even when they do sometimes they're so confusing.
Day is so cruel and abusive. All the spicy clips from the show in context are actually giving sexual assault. The preview was giving toxic but it wasn’t until I got to ep 5 that I was like this is incredibly cringey and deeply disturbing. I understood why after reading the synopsis of the book. A lot of people have commented on the first 2 books not having screen adaptations, but truly if this show was done well all of our understanding wouldn't be hinging on having exposure to the other 2 books. And clearly, this is the most palatable (yikes) of the books. I had higher expectations because I wanted redemption after being disappointed by unforgotten night, since they exist in the same universe, but I’m really having a hard time deciding to finish this. Rape is one of my most hated tropes in BL. This show unsettles me.

The Endless Whining of a Bad Story.

The best part was the ending. Because then I could be sure that I would not be tortured further.
Bad dramas bore me. Very bad dramas stress me out.
They should have changed the title to: The Endless Whining of a Bad Story.

The idea is not bad at all. But not well implemented.
The actors were in a race, who is worse?
Dear reader, you don't like what I write? Well, just invent a reason why they couldn't play well. The spaghetti monster drank all the drinks from the actors and so the mood was at its lowest point.
Or you had tickets to a movie theater, bought popcorn, a drink and you wait for the movie, but it just got eaten by Godzilla. Something like that puts the actors in a bad mood, and they really let that show in the movie.

Or you can stick to the truth. Sorry guys. If you don't like your acting partner and can't act that even, then you shouldn't be doing BL dramas. I am appalled and will not change my mind until you do the following:
Stand naked on a bridge at night and stick your left little toe in your right nostril. You sing a song of your choice. You film it and send me the result. Then I'll rate it as a spin-off and take it into account in this rating.

But until then, here's my clear recommendation:
Recommend this drama to those you hate with a passion.
For the rest of you, watch the next Drama!

Hyped for the Potential....but Uber Disappointed

This Thai Drama synopsis had such promise, but was let down by convoluted and discombobulating Story Progression along with atrocious acting by two somewhat well-known actors that I can put the blame on the Director's direction. I had to mentally struggle to hang in there to see if it would get any better as the episodes progressed, but sadly the ending wasn't able to redeem for its multifactorial flaws. Definitely one I would pass if I knew it was gonna be this bad. Even the side couples that were introduced in this series had no impact whatsoever for me in relation to the story and character interactions and development. I'd be a bit more forgivable if this drama was made and released in 2016-2017 since early BLs back then lacked the impact and connection compared to those of 2020 and beyond.
