He's Coming to Me

I have been postponing watching this series since .. before it is released ..
Why ? Because I could not get over ArhitxKongpob (main reason) and FramexBook (secondary reason)
Although I have watch other BL's with different pair, ArhitxKongpob is one that leaves a very strong impression on me.

I also feel rather sceptical when I read the summary, a ghost and a human?
What are the possibilities of a 'happy ending'? Transmigration? Reincarnation? Both doesn't sounds very appealing to me ..

So, finally I muster up my will to watch them, and I SHOULD HAVE WATCH THEM EARLIER ><

Story-wise, the development of the romance is SLOW .. yes .. really really SLOW
Perhaps my bias, I have been waiting for the relationship to develop, but it is SLOW ..
and the 'catalyst' of the development of relationship, is not something that I would horray on, but the delivery is acceptable .. (not the annoying type)

I love how they address the issue of Than's uncertainty regarding his feelings / orientation ..
The coming out scenes, well I love how he comes out to his mom ! It's a tearjerker for me ..
Hoorah to Than's Mom !

As a romance series, I would say they did a pretty good job.
HOWEVER .. If you come for the 'mystery', or 'detective-ish' ones, you won't get much out of this series..
I don't feel the unfolding of mystery is well prepared .. and how everyone is connected to everyone .. It's odd in a way ?
The revelation of truth, seems to be a bit, forced (?)

The ending of the series .. well ..
It's, what I would say, not actually a conclusive ones (?)
But I think that it is the best possible option for us now ..

Overall, this series is a good watch, and not draggy

PS: If you have extra time, I would really recommend you to read the novel too !

Sweet & Touching

First of all, I’ve gotta say — I honestly didn’t expect that much from this series. But every part of it — the acting, storyline, music, everything — really surprised me.

Ohm’s acting has improved so much compared to Make It Right The Series. He looks more mature now, and his performance feels deeper. I’d even say you must watch this one. The story isn’t shallow at all; it’s clear they put a lot of effort into making this series meaningful. The acting is truly touching, and as for Mes and Thun — they’ll keep you smiling and make your heart race every time you see them. They’re perfectly matched.

That’s all I really want to say — you definitely should watch it. I’ll be rewatching the whole series again after it ends.

After the finale, though, the only thing I want to blame is the show scheduling system in Thailand. One episode per week can really make viewers lose emotional momentum over time — especially near the end. I have to admit, I felt a bit bored when I started watching the final episodes, even though I genuinely love this show (and I really do). Maybe it’s because I just wanted to see Thun and Mes’s moments, not the part about how Mes died.

There are also a few small plot holes — like how Thun could only see P’Mes. He said he could see ghosts (not a ghost), yet he never mentioned seeing A’Ngoon or the others (sorry, I forgot their names). Still, these issues are minor compared to the overall emotion and warmth the series delivers — especially the Thun–Mes relationship, the OSTs, and the excellent cinematography.

Honestly, most BL series I’ve seen feel a bit forced. Usually, the seme starts off straight (sometimes both seme and uke are straight), then suddenly falls for one man, saying things like “My feelings are only for you, not other guys.” They date countless girls before, but when the time comes, they love that one guy deeply, fight the world for him, and live happily ever after. It doesn’t always feel real.

But this drama is different. Thun’s realization comes naturally — he discovers he doesn’t like girls after kissing one, not because he’s magically drawn to just one guy. That’s what makes it feel more grounded and human. You should really give this a try — I guarantee you’ll fall for it at some point.

I recommend watching it alone at night, in a cozy space — especially when it’s raining. Dim lights, earphones, and that atmosphere will make you feel something warm and emotional... maybe even nostalgic.

Just note, this isn’t for people expecting a strong mystery or thriller. The mystery elements are pretty weak — you can figure out what’s going on by around episode six.

But overall, it’s a wonderfully well-done BL series. 💙

Old and tired story made short & cute

So. We have Singto, who is way more mature in both looks and acting skills, than this... Ohm Pawat? To call the main duo uneven would be an understatement.
The beginning had potential, but just as soon as Singto's ghosts lost his walkman, I felt like this show lost its charm. And I really didn't need to watch some investigation of how the ghost died: I actually appreciated when they first showed us it was a "simple" heart attack.

Unfortunatelly, nothing was treated as good enough as it first was, from the big picture to minor details (the ghosts gets new clothes, which are more lame than the previous ones, etc.) and many unnecessary things were added. Seems the material was good enough for 1,5 hour long movie and then someone decided to change everything about it to make it "last longer"...

I would have preferred if Singto's ghost knew his own name and remembered his life. After all, he was supposed to be his person, not amnesiac. Amnesiac means no personality. But of course, amnesia-loving scriptwriters never seem to realize this. It would be more fun to just let everyone and everything to interact with this "guy from the nineties", rather than "investigate" who he was and who killed him. While that seems "dramatically attractive", truth is that watching your family deal with your death and eventually forget about you completely and then simply watching the life go on without you gives you way more interesting a character depth than being stuck in one place with no memory and then released to the modern world just to solve some scriptwriter-invented mystery about what happened to you decades ago.

And because it's not logical for the character to be himself and NOT remember anything, they let the character remember only some things, depending on how the scriptwriter currently needs it. Yeah, it's not difficult to write scripts like that.

Ironically enough, after the main boy took the ghost boy out of the confinement of his graveyard to the wide world outside, it started to be hundred times more boring. With the two boys spending most of their time asking local librarian about 20 years old records (I didn't particularly wish to see them becoming a couple, but had they at least flirted then maybe this would be bearable) or asking temple monk about how to bring back lost memories, or interviewing old neighbors, I considered dropping this series already. It was more "fun" when the the ghost was still hanging around the graveyard with his fellow ghosts. (They were still better than the alive boy's friends.)

I was bored. They tried to make a bit fun about the main boy often appearing to be talking to himself. But today's times, all he needed to do is get an earpiece. Nobody should pay notice enough to make it a gag.

I considered dropping this by episode 5. I just couldn't help myself, the theme of being a ghost is lame to begin with. I didn't care who killed him, either. At last in episode 5 finally something moderately dramatic/romantic begins, nevertheless in this series, I did not really care who ends up with whom.

There's a kiss in episode 6. I don't really care whether I'm watching gay or straight romance, what's important is the romance itself. The intimate scenes, if they work, are powerful enough to compel the audience into watching even a weak general story. On the other hand, hideous looking kiss can kill the romance completely and destroy everyone's good work on the series. The producers should therefore always consider carefully whether the skinship scenes are good enough to put in (there CAN be a good romance without kiss scene/s, you know). See? I didn't even go into criticizing how stupid is for the ghostboy to suddenly materialize his 20 years dead body for the other boy to touch:) No, let's not think about the physical decay now, lol.

This one is more on a cute side, that is funny. After the two boys discover they can touch (and therefore jump in bed together) they share a modest peck and the next morning main boy's mother comes to hang out in his room, playing her youth age music, which is actually music ghost boy likes to listen to:) She is in good humour being suddenly able to share her taste with her son. Not knowing the real cause of this, of course:) Nevertheless, it's also inadvertently pointed out that the boy is actually romantically bonding with someone whose soul is close to his mother's. Yay fans, enjoy your ghost romance:-p

But when it's revealed the mother actually dated the ghostboy in the past, I thought that enough is enough, lol. When the mother is able to see the ghostboy too, the idiocy is completed. Of course I understand the "logic", the boy had to inherit his abilities from someone, lol. But it's idiotic that they did this to the "romance story". This had it all in episode 1.
Anyways, his mother and the ghostboy share a "touching conversation" which reminded me of US series 'Ghost Whisperer' with Jennifer Love Hewitt (I don't know a worse thing to compare it to). There is also a scene where the main boy tries to convince his friends about the ghost presence. Another "fun scene" is him going inside the house ghostboy died in, looking around as if he expects some proof of his murder 20 years ago jumping on him at plain sight (suspense soundtrack is playing, of course, lol).

But, of course, soon he finds a "secret room" and we get our "detective" story solved, luckilly it was more of mild, slice-of-life kind of conclusion. That goes for any lovestory here, too. So I actually appreciated the final episode. The last bed scene is also far from action one, lol. One moment the main boy asks the ghost boy if he's asleep, yet. The idea of a ghost who is sleeping is so ridiculous that it's cute, so it fits here:) I also appreciated the way their ability to "touch" was explained. But, I wasn't really moved by their sad story. The only "deep" thing about this couple was that one of them was a ghost. Else in honesty, these two did not make a couple that I would be engaged to watch.

I found the last emotional parting scene on the graveyard really like something from 'Ghost Whisperer'. I couldn't help but smirk. Singto's tears did not move me this time (try another genre next time:) Weirdly enough, I even cared more about his two fellow graveyard ghosts he was leaving behind, perhaps because THEY were the most fleshy characters around (first role I didn't mind Ampere in). But! The real ending saved it. Thank goodness this was not left with either teary or mindlessly happy ending. It was just right, and funny. It kind of redeemed this (still pleasantly short) series.

This drama was far one of the best I've watched so far. The storyline was really great and there were some parts of the series that got me hooked. The mystery was well rounded and it gave many opportunities for the story to execute itself. The music was surprisingly really good. Anytime there were intense scenes the music would turn on it sets the mood in a really great scene. If there's a sad scene when the music matches it. If there was a happy scene the music would match that tone. If there was a scary/intense scene then the music would match that also. During 3 times I almost cried because of how great the acting was and how well the story was put into it. Even though the series is only 8 episodes each episode has its own significance which I really love. I hope there will be a season 2 with more mhmm intense scenes if you know what I mean lol.

GMMTV's only (almost) perfect bl drama

*THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS AND IS NOT MEANT TO CONVINCE ANYONE TO WATCH THE SHOW, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY OPINION ON THE SHOW TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT*




I started watching bls a year ago, right when the pandemic first started. I've seen a LOT of bls, mostly thai bls from GMMTV. This is why I had concluded that GMMTV isn't really the best at making bls. Like the only one I enjoyed a lot was 2gether and even that drama had its flaws. So when I heard of He's Coming to me I decided to put it off and watch other dramas. Now that I couldn't find anything else to watch I decided to go ahead and watch this bl. AND OMG THIS BL BLEW ME AWAY.

Even though I have seen other shows that are objectively better than this one. But this drama really immersed me into the lives of the characters in the show. Usually, I have problems with shows that are less than 12 episodes because I feel like the pacing can be off and that there could be parts of the plot that could have been explained more. This drama managed to have near-perfect pacing which I really did enjoy. All the parts of the story were played out well. The only thing I have to complain about a tiny bit is that this show gives me lowkey SOTUS vibes but not completely like I don't know if both shows have the same director or if maybe it has something to do with SIngto being in both of the dramas but the romance isn't really the center point of this show, at least not at the start. Like the first 4 episodes, you almost forget that it's a bl and just get caught up with the little slice of life Than and Mek share. I haven't really cried recently when it comes to watching dramas. But episode 5 was so perfect. Ohm's acting felt so real that I was in bed at 12:00 am crying with him over his heartbreak it really touched me. And after that point, the romance picks up and I don't know how to explain what this show did to not make it feel so rushed. I guess that the shows did drop a few hints that there was something more going on between the leads but it's really subtle. And I love how to story also centers around the friend group I really enjoy that because most of the time the friend group is just background characters or side ships so I was really content with the show bringing the friend group and showing the audience their strong bond.

Okay, the only nitpicks I have with this show is first of all...... WHY MAKE THAN A KID WHEN THEY FIRST MET. I know that they start loving each other when they are around the same age. But I don't like whenever there are flashbacks about them that they remember those memories too it just feels a bit weird to be but nothing too bad. Second of all, WHY IS THAT OLD MAN NOT IN JAIL. He straight-up murdered his OWN NEPHEW FOR MONEY. How in the world did everyone forgive him so easily. And lastly... the ending. I thought this drama would end sadly. So I was so confused when I saw somewhere that this show has a happy ending. That statement alone is up for debate. Like honestly when I saw Mek again I thought he turned back into a human so that they can live the rest of their lives happily. But no? He just comes back as a ghost and leaves us on a cliffhanger until now 2 years later?! Like idk either revive Mek, let Mek actually go to heaven, and just give us a sad ending where we see Than in the future living his life but never forgetting Mek. OR give us a season 2 of them together and show us whether Mek can stay with Than or actually reincarnate.

I thought that 1000 stars was the only (almost perfect) bl drama and that just now GMMTV has started putting care into their work. But now seeing this, I realize that GMMTV had to capability to make amazing bls already. They are just a lazy company that gives audiences mediocre to good bl series for money. I hope that in the future that more bl series start having the same quality as this one.

Honestly
I went in with high expectations and came out feeling very full
The acting was amazing
The main lead Than during his confession scene was absolutely breathtaking and heartbreaking
I would give this a 10 but had to deduct .5 point because of the ending
I would’ve been okay with the pain
Now I’m left wondering what’s going to happen HAHAHA
But overall it’s amazing and a worthy binge ! !
I suggest to take this into consideration to watch it’s very impactful and does teach you great values and life lessons
I hope to take with me threw life
Sometimes BL’s are hella deep
This is one of them

Unique and Totally Underrated

What can I say? I’m left with such a good feeling after completing this drama. Definitely within my top BL dramas of all time.
It’s unfortunate that it was difficult to access English subs, because I truly believe this would be considered a Thai BL classic were it not for that.
Story was really interesting, I was instantly hooked within the first 30 seconds. Which is rare for me, and usually means I’m in for a stellar experience.
I love going in with only a very basic understanding of the plot because it makes for a much more fun viewing experience. The opening sequence alone had me ready to consume this entire drama in a single sitting (I didn’t, but I would have if I could have).
They had very good chemistry and the romance was very organic. It felt really realistic for a drama literally about a ghost and a human.
There was a good mix of comedy to drama, where I had some really good laughs and really good cries without feeling like I was experiencing whiplash.
All in all, would totally watch again.

Beautiful Ghost Story Done Right!

I loved this series! It was awesome to see a ghost story in a BL done right, after the disappointment of “So Much In Love”. Mes and Thun’s chemistry was wonderful! I love Singto as Earth in “Friendzone” 1 & 2, and he was perfect in this series as well! It was refreshing to watch a BL with such a unique plot. I really felt a connection with both the main characters. I could feel their love for each other, their sadness, and their apprehension for how their relationship had an expiration date. I felt the inner conflict Thun had with helping Ames resolve his issues that were keeping him trapped here on earth as a ghost, and knowing that keeping his promise to help meant Mes would have to leave him once the mystery was solved. I also loved the acceptance from Thun’s mother. This is a mystery to find out what really caused Mes’s death, the budding love story between a human and a ghost, dealing with coming out, and knowing the relationship you’ve developed with the love of your life has a quickly approaching expiration date. I would definitely recommend this series!

I have to confess that when I first heard about this series I was a little sceptical, I love #peraya ship a lot and having Singto as the main lead for another BL was weird, and even more with this strange plot.

All my worries dissipated the moment I started watching it, it was such a beautiful and dramatic series. I really enjoyed I cried with it, I laughed with it.
Ohm Pawatt and Singto Prachaya had great chemistry, they worked hard for this series and the interpreted their characters perfectly. I hope people will find this series as beautiful as I did and support them as much as they deserve.
It has a happy ending. ?

~HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!~
