He's Coming to Me

It made my heart feel warm.

I just finished watching this drama and i'm still teary eyed as i type.

I will be honest, at first i couldn't really get into this drama, i got kinda bored at the first episode and almost dropped it, but because it got so many positive reviews i decided to keep watching to see why everyone love this drama so much. i was not disappointed at all!!
I cried and laughed so much throughout the entire drama.
The story of Thun and Med is so touching and beautiful, i can't express how beautiful it is with words.
This story touched my heart in a way i did not expect it would.

I'm so happy i gave this drama a chance. It's worth watching!

The cutest little ghost love story

Okay....I was pleasantly surprised with this drama!!!! Even though the reviews are mainly positive, I decided to watch without much expectations....and boy was I wrong! Yaaay! Love when that happens.

It's a short 8 ep BL that tells the story of a sad forgotten 22 year old ghost that doesn't have any memories of who he was except the way he died. He spends decades in the cemetery watching people visit their loved ones, but he never had a visitor. Never got food offerings nor have any knowledge of his life.

Because of one of the three reasons according to Thai traditions he can't reincarnate, but he doesn't know which one. So, there's nothing left to do but wait. But then, one day a boy (about 10 y.o? maybe a little more? not sure lol) visits the cemetery with his dad and sees this very old and forgotten headstone. He then decides to burn an incense and give him candy.

That was the day our sad little ghost Mes had feelings for Thun - not bf love because he was a child lol but he was the first person in decades that showed him affection - Thus visits Mes a couple of times before disappearing for a few years. They meet again when Thus is in college.

Thus decides to help Mes find out about his life and death in order to help him. Feelings start to develop and we get to watch them fall in love in the cutest and purest way! Adorable! Lets say heartstrings were pulled lololol

The plot was very refreshing, it's not a common BL story at all. I was very happy with the choices made in this drama, however I really wished the dialog was better written and the actors had a little more experience....BUT I still liked it lot! These are the ONLY reasons it wasn't a 10/10 for me. Would recommend!

Interesting BL Variant

This is better than an average Thai BL, probably due to the efforts of "Aof" Noppharnach Chaiyahwimhon (Director). The developmental arc for the relationships seem reasonable. Emotional expressions seem authentic and unforced. Acting seems good. Cinematography is okay, interior shots are generally good, exterior work is mixed.

Its a great blend of modern and traditional with lots of nostalgia bits thrown in. It should have a wide appeal across generations and demographics. Thankfully not an exercise in conspicuous consumption. The heavier reliance on Thai Buddhist cultural conventions will result in a higher level of acceptance of the subject matter.

What's not to like? Logical inconsistencies. You'll enjoy this a lot more if you resist picking apart what ghosts can and cannot do in real life. After considering the limited lifespan all of us have and the effect on our relationships (a box of tissues should be close-by), the series suddenly goes for a magical happy ending. It is a shame because up to that point it seemed like the story fit within a reasonable Thai Buddhist tradition, but the ending was clearly fan service. The reticence of Med is a bit too much so the couple doesn't quite seem suitable for each other, however on multiple occasions, this contrast allows the characters to express opposing viewpoints which then allow the audience to "see both sides". Nevertheless, in the most intimate scenes, there is some confusion about when Med is really committing, which takes away a bit from the dramatic importance of those moments.

Ultimately, the message of the series is to value every day, every hour and every moment. It is a good message, and well done exploration of that space from different angles. In the top 10% of Thai BL.

Started off great but ran out of ink towards the end

I'll review this as if it's a printed out paper

the first lines are strong and bold vivid words, maybe the ink went too strong in some places but nothing a little setting aside to let dry wont fix
as it continuous on to print it's stays consistent and though not as bold it's still very much readable, every sentence is well printed out
in the middle it starts to pick up vividness from the start again, this time no heavy ink, just trying to make sure that the words are seen
then towards the end it's like the printer got jammed, though some lines are really well printed it's like some words were skipped over or entirely messed up, and though you can understand what the story wanted to say it's not a well printed out sheet of paper

simply put; strong story and characters but a weak ending, still a very good watch, would definitely recommend

Not ordinary black story

Good day. This is one of the best series I've must say. Not a typical love story. I love the plot and twists of the story how it was revealed and I learned that you must always know the reason behind something before you get mad or ignoring something or someone. Always be honest to someone you love. There's a lot of realization that I thought while watching the series. Not to mention the acting of two main characters was amazing they're acting will let you feel the emotions that the series is requiring that will help you to understand and appreciate the story of the series. I was so moved by this series. I'm not sure if it's a happy ending or not. Watch it then let me know ☺

Suprisingly Endearing

I have watched countless shows both from when they first started coming out in Thailand and the newer shows that have been coming out more recently. It is so easy to have a show that is boring, no chemistry, drags on, etc. and no one wants shows that feel like eating dry saltines. This show thankfully goes around all of those potential problems to create a very endearing and cute show while still having a decent plot.
The story is engaging enough to keep you watching throughout the whole show without getting bored or dragging too much. There are some fun twists and turns throughout and some surprisingly tense moments.
The actors are very good too. There is some good chemistry between the main two and three are lots of cute moments between them that starts out as trying to help the ghost find out how he died and changing into something more. The side characters don't disappoint either and lend some fun energy to the show. I will say I feel like at some points Singto who plays the ghost could have been a bit more expressive or dramatic, just felt like he was holding back at some emotional scenes, but aside from that a very nice pairing.
I can see how some people wouldn't be a huge fan since it is not action packed, a lot more story based. I would put it higher in action and story than a high school/college BL but less action and story than a drama like History 3 or KinnPorsche.
Definitely recommend watching as this has turned into one of my comfort shows and is just a heartwarming show to tune into.

a simple yet touching drama

I have to say, this is the first Thai drama I ever watched and the first BL drama with intimate scenes (that is, hugging and lips-kissing), so I will base my comments bearing in mind the above.

Being the first Thai drama for me, I wanted a very simple story, preferably in the supernatural genre, not too many characters and no complicated characters because I wasn't sure about the way Thais do their dramas, wasn't sure whether there will be any cultural barriers that would hinder my understanding of the story. I didn't think much about the BL aspect, but I was generally open-minded about this aspect.

I got exactly what I wanted from this drama. However, it was the BL that made the entire drama very touching and meaningful from the two main leads' dialogues and body language. And I have to mention, the opening song did play a part in enhancing that feeling. It was a really very touching song. I recommend anyone to go listen to the song first if you are considering whether to watch this drama or not.

The chemistry between the two main leads' was very good. Perhaps the only thing if I have to comment a little negatively, was the kissing scenes. They weren't done with as much chemistry as I would have liked them to be, even to the point of being a little awkward actually, but still this did not take away my points for the drama because the chemistry in all their other interactions was perfect.

The ending, I would consider it to be happy or perhaps the best possible happy ending. Although there were reviewers who commented that the ending was too easy, because it was kind of leaving things as they are and the main leads continue in the same manner, no change, I was ok with it because they are at least together with each other, who knows for how long, but the moral of the drama did tell us to enjoy every moment of our lives and live happily every day as we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

This drama started me well for Thai BL dramas since it was a drama with minimal intimate scenes like hugging and lips-kissing without feeling put off for beginners. I feel more open and look forward to watching other dramas with BL, especially ones made by Thailand.

Supernatural Rom-com? It really works!

He's coming to me, is a great supernatural romantic comedy. I just watched this last March 2022 and I was scared that I might dislike it because its a 2019 series, and I almost thought the series didn't really aged well. But damn, I WAS WRONG!

The plot of the story is somehow unique. I know there are some series which has similar plots to this, but it's not that common. I was in loved by the whole story. The whole story is cute and adorable itself. I know its creepy for a ghost and a human to be in loved and to be in a relationship, especially, after the twist and revelation in the end 🤭. But I still think its great!

The characters and the actors. Damn, Singto and Ohm was great in playing their own roles. They really executed it well. I already expected it from Ohm, with his facial expression and blank stares which makes you feel something whenever he does it. He is really great in conveying emotions and messages just using his face and even his eyes. Singto was great too. This is the only BL show that I have watched with Singto, so I was surprised that he is very good too. His cute little expressions can really hit you hard.

The supporting characters, the bestfriends, very chaotic and fun. I loved how they are fun together, even if there are some hitpoints and problems within their friendship, like the love triangle 🤭. But they are still great. I was just ecstatic to see Chimon and his rare smile in a series 🤭.

Overall. the whole show is superb. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to watch a cute romantic comedy with a splash of supernatural aspect. 10/10

The Only Series That Has Made Me Cry

This is a biased rating and review, but hear me out.

When I say that I do not cry to films, series, or books, I mean it. By the time I started watching He's Coming to Me in December 2020, I had seen plenty of movies and read a ton of books from every genre imaginable, and the only tears that I had shed were tears of laughter.

Thus, it is not a stretch for me to declare that this series achieved the impossible. It made me cry – and by crying I do not mean a few tears here and there. I sobbed like a baby, rivers of tears running down my cheeks and vision so blurry that I had to pause the episode to wipe my eyes because I could not see the screen.

This is why He's Coming to Me holds a truly special place in my heart, and I will not hesitate even a little to recommend it. I am sure that it has its flaws in both plot and acting, which more objective reviwers must have pinpointed, but let me tell you: unless you are made of stone, the story of Mes and Thun will captivate you, shake you, break you, and then heal and uplift you. It is a masterpiece, a rare gem, not only among BL series, but also among fictional love stories in general. Outstanding.
