The Ex-Morning

A Nice Reunion Series.

Overall, this was enjoyable. Although the script and directing was not perfect, it still kept me invested in the storyline and characters.

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

The Positive:
The cast did an outstand job and it was cool to see Krist and Singto work together again. Each episode had a nice even pace with a good time balance between all of the storylines. It did not feel like one storyline overpowered the others. They also did a great job incorporating the flashback scenes throughout the series. The scenes were done in a way to give us the needed information without being confusing. It also had great music and cinematograph.

The Negative:
The beginning of the first episode was interesting enough to get me hooked, but didn’t like how they went straight into a comedy aspect with Phi and Tawan encountering each other again. For some reason, this seemed weird to me. This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I wanted to see a little more anguish from Tawan. The first half of the series was a little ruff because it had some odd placement of comedy between the two main characters. I felt that many of the scenes with Phi and Tawan would have been more effective with a serious tone instead of the comedy aspect they used. There were a few times I didn’t like Tawan. I don’t know if this was a problem with the script and/or poor directing. However, the character got better over time.

The In-Between:
I appreciate that they did not use the predictable relationship conflict scenarios we often see in the second to last episode of a series. The ending was heartwarming, cute, and uplifting, but had some weak aspects to it.

Random Notes:
Tawan’s house is the same one used in the series “To The Moon and Back” (Mata’s house), “I’m Tee, Me Too” (Watee’s house) and “Lovely Writer” (Gene’s garden house). Phi’s condo is the same one used in the series “Your Sky” (Muenfah’s Condo).

The silent nodes to Krist and Singto’s previous series (SOTUS) in episode 3 and obvious node in the last episode were cute.

Was the radio caller (Koa) on Paul’s show in episode 6 a silent nod to the series "Dark Blue Kiss"???? Maybe I’m reading to much into it.

******Potential Spoiler Alert******

This had a feeble redemption arc with the characters Te and Suwit.

Although it was not too bad, the 2-year time jump was completely unnecessary and came across as lazy writing. This may have been a silent node to how their “Our Skyy” episode ended.

KristSingto is Back!

I am so glad that GMM not only brought back one of their old pairings, but actually let adult actors play adult characters (and not just students). I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this show, especially because I had only seen clips of SOTUS at the time (and 2016 was a different time for BLs for sure), but I was very pleasantly surprised. While it may not be the most intense or life changing shows, I was thoroughly entertained.

News reporter Padtaphi (Krist) has gained himself tons of fans through his show, but public opinion is quick to turn on him when the cameras keep rolling a bit too long - throwing a coffee in the face of another reporter is never a good look. Once he's fired from his show, he's desperate to find another producer to work with him on something else, but it seems no one wants to work with him. That is until producer Tamtawan (Singto) shows back up at the studio after years of being abroad and agrees to take the job. Naturally, this producer just happens to be Padtaphi's ex-boyfriend. The two of them must work together if Padtaphi wants a career in broadcasting again, but it seems that Tamtawan may have other reasons for taking the job too.

I really enjoyed the premise of this show. With it being only 10 episodes, I do think it was a little rushed and would have liked to have a little more time where the two leads aren't getting along. I also love a secret office romance, and wish we had a little more time before everyone found out about them. Still, I found the show to be super fun and entertaining, and was very surprised with how much I loved watching Krist and Singto act together. Hopefully they continue to do more shows together, because this one was definitely a fun one.

Bonus points for the cat. Always bonus points for the cat.

This was incredibly sweet and clearly pandered to the fans of SOTUS and KristSingto.
Don’t get me wrong — I loved the show and had a blast watching it. I screamed at some scenes, cried at others, and absolutely enjoyed all the hidden Easter eggs. It’s a sweet cheese fest with a pinch of angst and and some pining which is always appreciated.
But I also have to be honest with myself: the plot was… cliche.
Yeah, they deserved something more thrilling. More innovative. More shocking. I don’t know — something Emmy-worthy! You get what I mean, right? Something extraordinary. Something that says, “Yes, this is art.”
Am I being dramatic? Possibly. Do I care? Not really. Let me have my dramatic monologue.
This was super cute and delightfully silly (seriously though, who goes into the sea with an open wound? Antibiotics said “noооо”). But it was also so much fun! Just a light, fluffy romance with two main characters… and a cat.
They both healed their hearts with each other’s support, while also coming to terms with the mistakes of their past.
I liked that it started with Phi being super rough — to the point where I actually found him kind of annoying. He definitely crossed a few lines. But as it turns out, he’s just terrible at managing his emotions because he’s sad and hurt. While that doesn't excuse his behavior, it does make it understandable. maybe ... Tam, on the other hand, was insecure, a little jealous, sunshine in human form, and an absolute king of flirting. It broke my heart to see how much he had lost — and how hard he tried to protect Phi from more pain.
Together, they were tender, playful, and so easy to love for. Exactly what I want in a feel-good romcom. This was a story about second chances, emotional healing, and the kind of love that teaches you to be honest — with others, and with yourself.
The girls were tolerable — a bit annoying at times, but generally funny. I have to admit, I actually liked Kaoki, and overall, they didn't bother me like female characters sometimes tend to.

Okay, I admit it – I’m a big fan of Sosay and her vet.(=^ - ^=)

All in all, this was a great series that I would recommend to anyone who loves a good romcom and lovable MCs.

7.5 stars from me — mostly because Krist and Singto deserve so much more. (Yep… I’m totally biased.)

The OGs are back!

Wow, seeing KristSingto on my screen after SOTUS way back when was a remarkable experience. They still got it— 

I loved this kind of mature story as well. We see so few of these in BL land. Phi and Tam are proper working adults and act like it. They communicate with each other openly and there's no immature giggles. I loved all the SOTUS crumbs left everywhere as well. KristSingto share an easy chemistry, and while this drama did not have any wild NC scenes, for SOTUS lovers who felt like they got no "skinship," this one is a welcome do over. I'd like GMM to make more such shows rather than the usual barrage of school/college based stories.

MY BOYS COMEBACK DRAMA

This whole post does not contain spoilers, one the second half, I have it labeled as spoilers before you get to the second half of the post.

I have waited for years to see my boys back in a drama together again and…… it did not disappoint. The plot and story line was definitely something new! Kristsingto did an amazing job in this, and so did everyone else. Will definitely be rewatching in the future.

Also my favorite thing about Tam is the little habit he has when he touches/rubs his ear/earring!

Rating: 10/10. A must-watch if you want grown-up drama, real emotion, and KristSingto at their best.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS……………..

Ok, here is my true review with spoilers!



The Ex-Morning brings Krist and Singto back together in the best way possible, and it does not disappoint. Their chemistry as Phi and Tam is still so strong, but now it feels more grown-up and layered. The show follows them as exes who are suddenly forced to work together in a high-pressure news setting after Phi’s career falls apart. What really hits hard is how real their emotions feel there’s tension, regret, and moments where they clearly still care about each other. The flashbacks to their college days make their present relationship feel even heavier, especially with that old condo dream scene. One of the most powerful moments is when Phi breaks down live on air during a flood report it shows how broken he is inside, even if he tries to hide it. That scene stays with you.

The writing and pacing are on point. It takes its time building things up without feeling slow, and the flashbacks are timed just right. Tam isn’t just a love interest he’s also fighting his own inner battles and trying to protect his heart while helping Phi rebuild his career. The side characters actually add to the story instead of being distractions. What works best is that the show isn’t just about romance it’s about second chances, working through emotional baggage, and healing. Episode nine stood out to me because of the plot twist it felt kind of weird at first but also made sense when you look at it from their perspective as journalists. They thought Paul, their college senior, was this nice, trustworthy guy, but he turns out to be the opposite. Their journalism skills really come into play in that episode when they start digging into what’s happening on that island. That twist changes everything and pushes their teamwork and trust to the next level.

Episode 10:
At beginning when Tam is helping Phi get clean, that scene made me giggle and definitely rewinded multiple times. Krist smile and giggles during that scene, along with Singto smile was perfect!!

The proposal has me crying, I think it’s because I finally get to see kristsingto get engaged on tv for the first time 😭 my heart is overwhelmed ❤️

Just nonstop smiling through ep 10, I’m just gonna keep repeating myself over and over again seeing them engage their wedding like it’s just overwhelming and joyful 😭❤️❤️


This series really does everything right great chemistry, solid writing, emotional depth, and a story that sticks with you. The Ex-Morning isn’t just a BL reunion, it’s a story about rebuilding love and life after falling apart.

WE NEED MORE SERIES LIKE THAT

Thats one of the most underrated series gmmtv had made this year. I literally loved it, the plot is interesting, actors have insane chemistry with each other, characters are reasonable and they dont have stupid fights over silly things. If you like thamepo its your turn to watch it its really good!!
P.S I loved the fact how much Tam and Pi actually loved each other and cares for each other the whole season WE NEED MORE OF THEM!!! GIVE SINGTO AND KRIS MORE DRAMAS
The only thing i didnt like is the fact that gmmtv keep on giving us amazing yuri ghostships while theyre real gl dramas in my opinion sucks…. the relationship between yong’s sister and his ex have so much potential im waiting for undoomed yuri!!

What I loved most about this series is that the love was already there. From the very first episode, we know they care deeply about each other, but they have to work through old wounds to find happiness. It’s a more mature story, with a compelling plot centered around journalism.

The show strikes a great balance between comedy, drama, and romance, with just the right touch of emotional tension. Overall, the characters were well-developed and you can really see how they grow throughout the story. Some of the supporting characters could’ve used more depth, though. I’d have loved to see Aou take on a real villain role.

The two timelines flow smoothly and give us a rich look into the lives of the main characters. What truly makes the series shine are the performances by Krist and Singto. They’re so natural and at ease in their roles. It feels effortless the way they bring their emotions to life.

It’s a charming romantic comedy, lighthearted and fun, sprinkled with plenty of cute moments.

They’re back, and my serotonin levels are thriving!

Okay listen, The Ex-Morning had me smiling, screaming, pausing to yell into the void, and then smashing the play button like nothing happened. Seeing Krist and Singto together again? ICONIC. I’ve missed this duo so much, true OG status. Their chemistry? Still criminally good. No one’s doing it like them. Period.
Now the plot? HELLO, originality! We’ve done enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, exes to enemies, but exes to co-workers? That’s fresh. That’s chaotic. That’s peak millennial mess. And I’m living for it. It gives you that weird fluttery feeling mixed with secondhand embarrassment and longing… like drinking iced coffee on an empty stomach. Unstable, but addictive.
BUT, and yes, there’s a “but” there were moments I wanted to yeet my screen. That noble idiot trope needs to go extinct. Like babe, just COMMUNICATE. A lot of the pain could’ve been avoided if certain characters used their words instead of bottling everything up like emotionally repressed soda cans. 🙃
Also, Tam’s mom? Whew. Started as a villain, lowkey redeemed herself, but still had me clenching my jaw. And Tam not speaking up when his boo was getting insulted?? I wanted to pause the episode and give him a 3-hour Ted Talk on boundaries and respect.
That said… Episode 8 had me giggling and kicking my feet. The “we’re a secret” couple energy while literally climbing all over each other in public? BE SERIOUS. 💀 Everyone saw it. Rita saw it. Nudee and Kaoki lowkey saw it too. Stealth level: zero. But cuteness level: 10000%.
Aou’s character was trash, not gonna lie. But shoutout to Aou himself for acting his butt off because I fully believed he was a walking red flag.
Last thing: Young and Kaoki… please. They still look at each other like a Lana Del Rey song. I’m begging the writers to do the right thing.

TLDR: It’s a ride. A fun, messy, lovable ride with familiar faces and fresh chaos. Support it. Watch it. Yell about it. It deserves way more hype than it’s getting. 💕👀

A Feel Good BL from KristSingto

Now I understand why this series is a feel-good one, because the story itself is based on some real-life events that happened between Krist and Singto, such as Singto planning to go abroad for his Master's Degree, which never happened. Each episode I watched made me feel "kilig to the bones" because, compared to the first two series (SOTUS and SOTUS S; although I only watched the pilot episode of SOTUS), you saw them as teenagers with natural chemistry. In this series, I see them as adults, but still true to their off-camera personalities. Their kisses are so real, like, OMG, this is so real. Speaking of kisses, the cinematography is on point, and the storyline itself is very refreshing. Why is it very refreshing? Because of the setting in a news station workplace. Overall, I consider this series a masterpiece.
