The last image is a little blurry
Last Twilight spent it's time crafting a very beautiful story that captivated us flawlessly, for at least 10 episodes. But something went awry by episode 11 and the finale was underwhelming as a whole for me, because the final message delivered didn't really seem to respect the story it was telling. This trip up at the end is super disappointing to me because if they had stayed true to the story (at least the one I was hearing), this series was set to join my list of all time favorites.
Biggest Plus - Sea's acting as a whole. He's a powerhouse and he delivers again and again. The way he believably portrayed the vision loss and eventual blindness was executed perfectly. There was never a moment that I felt he wavered and it is because of his wonderful acting, that we were able to fall so in love with Day. Also, Jimmy's acting was amazing and he kept pace with Sea as well. The power they command together is wonderful, onscreen and offscreen.
Biggest Minus - Day breaking up with Mhok in episode 11, when he (Mhok) deserved an actual conversation about their future. I don't really like the narrative of Day doing it to not hold Mhok back or him not wanting Mhok to pity him. I never felt pity from Mhok, only care and genuine concern. Day also needed to remember that Mhok had lost his entire family, his sister even more tragically. I just think Day owed Mhok more understanding in that moment, and they needed a conversation. Furthermore, I am never a fan of time jumps. I hate them pretty much anytime I see them. And also, this seems to be a controversial topic, but I just don't think Day getting his vision back should've been the final selling point of this series. It feels a little unrealistic to me, and it just kind of takes away a lot of the beautiful storytelling and messaging that was told for the first 10 episodes.
Biggest Takeaways - JimmySea continue to be one of the best pairings GMM has. I enjoy the fact that they stray away from typical stories and tackle the more complicated. They put their all in everything they do and it is felt on the other side of the screen. The Last Twilight will continue to be one of the better releases from GMM in 2023/2024 and despite the trip ups at the end, it is worth a watch.
