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.

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.

Phi the Unimpressive
Not a fan of KristSingto, their previous work nor this reunion series of theirs I’ll be brief: the show left me mostly indifferent, with positives and negatives balancing each other out.On the plus side:
1/ a slight diversion from typical BL storytelling, with main characters re-discovering they’re in love (instead of falling in love) and most obstacles for them becoming a couple stemming from their troubled past (instead of current events),
2/ most of Singto’s performance and Krist’s performance in ep. 9-10,
3/ the show (mostly) focusing on Phi’s and Tam’s story and properly intertwining the romantic and professional aspects of their relationship,
4/ most of ep. 9-10 (except the time jump),
5/ cameo of Mix as a vet (watch "Vice Versa" for his another appearance in that capacity).
On the minus side:
1/ Phi in ep. 1-8,
2/ underdeveloped side plots involving supporting cast, none of which lead anywhere,
3/ Tam’s mom and almost everything about that character, which felt added only to fill ep. 8 with content and create drama/uncertainty in ep. 10,
4/ time jump in ep. 10 (like with almost all time jumps in GMMTV’s BL – utterly pointless storywise, changed nothing and served no purpose),
5/ some story aspects which made little to no sense (why would an investigative journalist consider becoming a weather presenter to be a promotion or upgrade of any kind?).
My main issue with the story is Phi. He was written for ep. 1-8 as a whiny douchebag who undergoes almost no character development and then – all of the sudden, at the very end of ep. 8 – becomes a different person. While I understand that the character was meant to be hurt, embittered, egoistic and arrogant, he comes across as genuinely unlikeable, his flaws being inexcusable. Even in the flashbacks to his student years Phi appears to be full of himself – and I had to wonder why Tam (or anyone else, like Paul) would fall for that guy in the first place. I felt no sympathy towards Phi in ep. 1 nor later and can’t understand why a character written like that was a protagonist in a BL. Once ep. 8 ends, however, Phi is a changed man (and changed in an instant, I might add, as almost nothing prior to ep. 8 end signals or indicates that Phi is undergoing a change). The show became much better and more entertaining in ep. 9 and 10, even going a bit bonkers ("Ossan’s Love" style) – none of which would be possible with Phi being his old self.

It's KristSingto so it's loaded w/ chemistry
The characters that is, Phi Tam's relationship somewhat resembles Krist Singto's friendship and at the same time it resembles Sotus somehow so if you liked Sotus you don't need any other reason to watch it. I've been waiting for it since the GMMTV 2024 lineup was announced but then it came out at 2025, it's worth the wait though, the storyline is good, the chemistry is great, the casts are good, the resemblance with Sotus makes viewers better connect with the lead characters.Was this review helpful to you?
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!!

SINGTOKRIST COME BACK ???
YALLLLLLLLLL 😭😭😭THIS SERIES???? OH THIS SERIES WAS NOT JUST A SERIES. THIS WAS A WELCOME BACK CEREMONY, A HOMECOMING, A CULTURAL RESET, A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE FOR SINGTOKRIST. AND I WAS FRONT ROW SCREAMING.
LIKE HELLO???? MY PERAYA HEART??? RESURRECTED. REVIVED. REBORN. ❤️
This show is basically comfort food for Peraya OG fans which, unfortunately and proudly, IS ME. I swear the entire storyline lowkey mirrors SingtoKrist’s real life dynamic and I’m sitting here like…
HELLO??? ARE WE WATCHING FICTION OR A DOCUMENTARY??
Because excuse me??? They didn’t work together for like WHAT, SIX YEARS??? Then Singto came back to GMMTV and suddenly Krist is glowing like a man who just got his husband back from war and BOOM they get their own series again???
GIRL.
Also let me talk about the TRAUMA I went through when the trailer dropped for The Ex Morning. Because I remember new BL fans in the comments going like:
“Where is my JimmySea series?”
“Why SingtoKrist again?”
“Are they still relevant?”
EXCUSE ME????
BOY IF YOU DON’T SIT DOWN WITH YOUR LITTLE BABY BL DEGREE FROM TIKTOK UNIVERSITY—
SINGTOKRIST LITERALLY CARRIED GMMTV ON THEIR BACK LIKE TWO SINGLE MOTHERS WORKING DOUBLE SHIFTS DURING SOTUS ERA.
If they didn’t blow up the industry back then, HALF OF YOUR FAVES WOULD NOT EVEN EXIST. So yes babes. Show some respect to your BL ancestors.
Anyway… let’s calm down before my blood pressure spikes and let’s review this thing properly.
And yes. This review is biased.
EXTREMELY biased.
If you don’t like it…
Ciao. 💅
___________________________________________________________
a) Plot
Okay quick synopsis before I start screaming again. Phi is this famous weather forecast prince. On camera he’s charming, charismatic, professional, everyone loves him blah blah blah. But OFF camera???
Oh honey…
That man is an entitled, dramatic, slightly insufferable manchild.
Harsh? Maybe.
But am I wrong? Absolutely not.
So one day during a live broadcast, this rookie journalist Tae starts throwing off-script questions at him. Phi is already annoyed, his patience is hanging by a thread, and suddenly— BOOM. He throws coffee in Tae’s face. LIVE. ON. CAMERA. And I’m sitting there like, "NOOOOO OH U FUCKED UP". Anyway his career immediately goes poof 💨CANCELLED. FINISHED. GOODBYE WEATHER PRINCE.
So the company decides the best way to fix his image is to produce a new show for him. Cool idea. Great strategy. Love that. But the producer they hired to manage the project is... Tawan. His ex. The same ex who disappeared from his life FOUR YEARS AGO WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION. So when Phi finds out, he basically has a mini emotional nuclear meltdown and honestly? VALID. Because if my ex who ghosted me suddenly appeared at my workplace like “Hi I’m your boss now” I would also start screaming.
So the whole series is basically their journey of rebuilding their relationship while fixing Phi’s career and confronting all the unresolved feelings they never dealt with. Now let’s talk about the actual plot. I genuinely thought this show would be draggy. Like you know those BLs where nothing happens for three episodes except intense eye contact and slow walking scenes? But surprisingly?? THE PLOT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD??? There are proper developments, conflicts that make sense, and the pacing for a 10 episode series is actually pretty steady. Yes there are some filler-ish scenes. Like the multiple moments where Phi randomly sings while Tawan reminisces about their old relationship and I’m just sitting there like "OH MY GOD PLEASE STOP SINGING I AM BEGGING YOU." I literally hit 2x speed during those scenes. Sorry. Not sorry.
BUT the plot twist about why Tawan left Phi?? OH BABY. When the reveal happened I was like "WAIT— OH???? OH?????? THAT’S WHY?????" It’s not super dramatic but it’s sweet enough to make you gasp and go “oh damn okay that makes sense.” Also the cinematography??? HELLO??? There’s this one scene where Phi is heating rice over a charcoal stove and waiting for the fire to light up. Then Tawan comes and they talk about Yong choosing their demo and making a bet about who wins. When Tawan says “deal” and pours oil into the fire and the flames suddenly burst up.... BABY. THE FIRE WAS NOT THE ONLY THING HEATING UP.
Because Singto looked so damn charming in that scene I literally choked. Like excuse me??? WHY IS MY HEART BEATING LIKE THIS??? WHY AM I FEELING THINGS??? Sir you cannot just stand there looking that good. It awakened something inside me and I’m not going to elaborate further. Also the SOTUS reference during their wedding ceremony??? I SCREAMED SO LOUD MY NEIGHBOURS PROBABLY THINK I SAW A GHOST. And can we talk about how the series actually explained same-sex marriage in Thailand???
I LOVED THAT.
They showed how the legal process works and how Thai wedding ceremonies are performed and honestly it felt so refreshing to see that represented in a BL series. Thank you GMMTV for letting SingtoKrist be the couple that explains it.
My Peraya heart is full. 🥹
___________________________________________________________
b) Characters
> Phi played by Krist Perawat
Oh Krist.
MY FORMER NUMBER ONE BIAS.
And honestly after watching this series I understand exactly why he used to hold that position. This man CAN ACT. Like I’m not exaggerating when I say his acting improved A LOT since SOTUS. Back then he was good, but now he’s so natural on camera that it feels like we’re just watching someone’s real life. The camera basically disappears. It’s like we’re the third wheel spying on his life.
And Phi as a character? UNSTABLE.
Emotionally unstable. Mentally unstable. Romantically unstable.
This man folds faster than a lawn chair every time Tawan gets close to him. And honestly??? RELATABLE. Because tell me WHY Tawan is constantly seducing him.
Loose shirts exposing his chest.
Leaning close to his face.
Casually changing his shoes.
EXCUSE ME???
SIR YOU ARE NOT HELPING HIS SELF CONTROL.
If I were Phi I would’ve folded in episode two. But I love the character development he gets later in the series. He starts as this selfish hot-tempered guy but eventually becomes someone who prioritizes the people he loves. Growth. We love to see it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
> Tawan played by Singto Prachaya
Ah yes. THE MAN. THE MYTH. THE VOICE OF HONEY ITSELF. Singto’s voice in this series is so soft and gentle that I genuinely had a moment where I thought: “Wait… when have I ever heard him raise his voice before?” Answer: NEVER. This man speaks like he’s narrating an ASMR audiobook. And acting wise? No problems there. I’ve known since day one that Singto can act. Every scene feels natural, no awkwardness, no stiffness.
Now let’s talk about Tawan. At first he shows up looking cool, sharp, professional, very “I’m here to work.” But by the end of the series he becomes this goofy man who is ready to sulk the moment Phi ignores him. And honestly? I’m okay with it. Because for most of the show Tawan is ridiculously cunning and seductive. This man was flirting in broad daylight. Not subtle. Not discreet. FULL ATTACK MODE. My only complaint is that his sharp, calculating personality slowly fades near the end of the series. That could’ve been explored more.
Missed opportunity.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
> Kaoki played by Jamie Juthapich
Okay let me be honest. I usually don’t get very invested in GMMTV GL characters because the dynamic is always the same:
cold top × sunshine bottom.
Jamie isn’t really an exception here. This is the first time I noticed her in a bigger supporting role and she did fine, but the character itself was just… mid. Kaoki is supposed to have tons of connections because she’s a famous camerawoman, but the show barely demonstrates it. The only time we really see her influence is when she posts a tweet supporting Phi. Other than that the character just exists.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
> Nudee played by Earn Preeyaphat
Earn still has room to improve. Her acting isn’t bad but there’s still a bit of awkwardness in her eyes and voice sometimes. Nothing unbearable though. Nudee as a character is basically Phi’s support system. She runs his fanbase, does research, helps with investigations, and occasionally forgets things because apparently every bubbly side character must also be slightly scatterbrained. But I actually liked her energy and the little connection she had with Yong. Cute siblings dynamic.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
> Tae played by Aou Thanaboon
BOY. Let me tell you something. I love Aou. He’s my bias. But while watching this show I completely forgot about that because THIS MAN WAS GETTING ON MY NERVES. Acting wise he’s great, no issues there. But Tae as a character???
OH MY GOD.
I wanted to push him away from Phi every time he appeared on screen. The annoying thing is he wasn’t annoying ENOUGH. Like imagine if he intentionally told the cameraman to go live before Phi threw the coffee.
THE DRAMA.
THE CHAOS.
THE SPICE WE DESERVED.
But no. His villain era was like… mild salsa. Not spicy enough.
___________________________________________________________
c) Steamy scenes
BOYYYYYYYY. GMMTV SAID “LET’S RAISE THE TEMPERATURE.” There are at least five steamy scenes in this show and I’m not complaining. For some reason they are OBSESSED with bathroom and bathtub scenes but honestly? Do your thing kings. The kissing scenes were phenomenal. At first I thought they could be more hungry but then I suddenly remembered the lip biting kiss scene and I immediately shut my mouth.
NEVER MIND.
COMPLAINT RETRACTED.
WE ARE FED.
___________________________________________________________
d) OST
Don’t ask me anything. I remember none of the songs.
Zero.
My brain was too busy processing SingtoKrist chemistry.
___________________________________________________________
e) Overall
Listen. This is a good series. Call me biased all you want, I truly do not care. This show healed my inner Peraya and watching SingtoKrist together again felt like seeing your divorced parents fall in love again. My first BL heartbreak couple came back together. So please tell me again that this series isn’t based on them. Because the parallels are SUSPICIOUS.
Anyway I rarely rewatch series unless they are extremely good. And for this one… I still probably won’t rewatch it. I’m sorry.
But that doesn’t change the fact that it was fun as hell to watch.
Final score? 10/10.
And yes.
I said what I said. 🫦

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. 💕👀

Maybe I'm biaised but I don't care I know that 2018 myself would be happy. I didn't even expected KristSingto in 2025, and yet, I waited every week for it. They are so sweet, very angst.
The second drama inspired by their life, and it's amazing.
The only cons is the secondary couple. They had great potentiel, I did expected more, but GMMTV give us, almost nothing??

The Last Two Episodes Kind of Ruined the Rest...
I was so hyped for this show, and on the whole I really loved it. The first eight episodes were great—the story was fun, charming, and KristSingto's chemistry was just as good as nine years previous. I had a blast watching it, and then the show kind of....wrapped up two episodes early. All of the main plot points were tied in a nice little bow—our couple is happily together, the villain of the show has been deposed, all is well. And yet, there were still two episodes left.And everything went off the rails. Suddenly we almost get a genre shift from exes-to-lovers romcom to a crime drama? It made no sense and was straight out of left field, and it being included in the series kind of ruined the rest of it for me. Now, when I look back on this show all I'm going to think about is how bizarre the last episodes were.
It's a shame, because otherwise this show had so much going for it! The plot was good, it was funny, I loved the side characters (Jaime, my beloved, we need to get you more roles!!). If they had just cut the show after eight episodes, this would be a 9/10 and on my favorites list. But, alas, here we are.

Peraya Nation, how are we? I missed Krist and Singto so much that seeing them together again felt like being reunited with old friends. Honestly, I never thought I’d get to watch them in their full glory again—but here we are. And my god, it was beautiful.Krist and Singto are not just another BL pairing—they are the pioneers of the genre for so many of us. They helped shape the BL landscape, and without them, I’m certain half of us wouldn’t even be here as devoted fans (or fujoshis). Their on-screen presence is magnetic, their chemistry timeless.
The story in The Ex Morning was solid and engaging, giving just the right amount of romance, nostalgia, and emotional pull. It didn’t feel like a forced reunion—it felt like a natural continuation of what made them special in the first place.
I truly enjoyed every second of it. For long-time BL fans, this was more than just a drama—it was a heartfelt reminder of where it all began.

Singto and Krist did not disappoint
Let me start of by saying, I admit that I am 100% biased toward Singto. I think he's a fantastic and versatile actor. Admittedly, I was not a huge fan of Krist in SOTUS and, besides it being groundbreaking at the time, I do not understand the hype around their ship. I personally thought Singto had much more chemistry with some of his other on-screen partners besides Krist. So, when Singto joined GMM and there was talk of him getting paired back up with Krist, I admit I was a teeny bit bummed. Never-the-less, when this series was announced, I was really looking forward to it regardless.And, honestly, I didn't think I would be back-peddling as much as I am now upon finishing this series. I don't know if Krist has been getting acting lessons or if the reunion lent itself to lost familiarity (not unlike the characters in the series however I'll get to that parallel in a second) but the chemistry and overall acting from both of them in this was seriously impressive. I'd already been impressed with Krist's performance in Be My Favorite when he was opposite Gawin but at the time, I chalked it up to the fact Gawin could have chemistry with a tree.. seriously, he works so well with everyone.
But Krist really won me over in The Ex-Morning. He was brilliant throughout the series, with or without Singto. (I feel like some actors are only as good when their "pair" is on screen with them in the scene as if they can't hold their own as a solo actor which is one thing I hate about shipping culture.. but I digress.) They fed off each other so well, making their lines feel so natural, often to the point where I wonder if they were improvising.
It could have also been the script, mind you, as this was a solid story overall. It was an office romance but with a history and backstory told through flashbacks. While the flashbacks did not happen in order, I feel like they happened at the right moment when they were supposed to to show the parallels of their past with their present. It was really easy to follow and it was clear at what point in their relationship the flashbacks happened which I thought was great editing. Speaking of parallels, I feel like this was, in part, a love letter to their fans with the way their characters were together then one left, then came back... it mimicked their IRL career from their ship days in SOTUS, going their separate ways, then Singto coming back to GMM for their ship to set sail once again. Not to mention the many SOTUS references throughout (the engineering shirts at the costume party, someone pointing out that Phi used to be a hazer, the pink drink and the flat out mention of SOTUS being a series they watched together, just to name a few.)
The ONLY reason this wasn't a 10 for me was mainly due to two things... one being the constant use of phrases like "If this were a series then this would happen" or "what do you think this is, a rom com?" I know these lines are meant to be funny and ironic in a way but it's so overused and, especially in this series, they used it A LOT. Instead of adding to a scene, it just takes away from it, in my opinion. Like, we know this is a series and we know this is fake.. you don't have to try and sell this idea that it's real.
The other main gripe I had was the introduction and resolution of some plot points. The whole thing with Paul felt disjointed and the climax of that storyline seemed to come out of nowhere. Then you had the side GL that never really developed into anything even with all the lead up to it. At some points it felt like the cat was completely forgotten. And even Aou's character could have been fleshed out more as we never really got a sense of his motivation until the very end when we learn he just wanted to be on top at the station. He seemed too villainous to be just a simple professional rival but apparently that's all it was. I also thought there would be something wrong with Phi's mom instead as she seemed to be forgetful and maybe they were going to give her Alzheimer's or something. I mean, I'm glad they didn't, but it seemed like an obvious point they were trying to bring to our attention but then never did anything with it.
I'm actually surprised this wasn't 12 episodes as I feel like just 2 more episodes could have wrapped up those plot points a bit more. They certainly had an engaging and interesting storyline to work with, much more than a lot of the 12-14episode series that are out there. They could have easily filled up more time just by ironing out those wrinkles and filling the holes.
But really, other than that, what they did give us was a fantastic storyline which was executed extremely well. I actually find myself looking forward to the next Krist/Singto series, hoping they keep with this new momentum that they served to us here.

Very enjoyable
Krist and Singto together again was good to see. Some of the other actors need some work though. It is a series to rewatch. Based around them. The wedding scene is one of the best I have seen with the traditional theme. The flirting snd tension is just the right amount. I do wish they had made the two main females a couple, though it was implied.Was this review helpful to you?

A Mature Reunion, a Love Rekindled
I’ll be honest — I’ve been excited about My Ex-Morning ever since GMMTV dropped the first teaser. After years of waiting, the reunion has finally arrived — and it’s every bit worth the wait. My Ex-Morning, produced by GMMTV and VIU under the direction of Lit Phadung Samajarn, runs for ten beautifully crafted episodes that aired from May 22 to July 24, 2025.I personally anticipated this series the moment it was announced — not just because of Krist and Singto’s legendary chemistry from SOTUS, but because I honestly didn’t think we’d ever see them together on-screen again after Singto left GMMTV. Their return feels like a full-circle moment, and My Ex-Morning doesn’t just live up to the hype — it exceeds it with depth, maturity, and emotion.
🌤️ The Story: Love, Regret, and Second Chances
The series follows Phi (Pathaphi), a passionate but hot-tempered TV reporter whose career crumbles after a viral outburst caught on camera. To rebuild his image, he’s reassigned to develop a new program under the supervision of a new producer — who turns out to be Tam (Tamtawan), his former lover from their university days.
What unfolds is a slow-burn reunion — not just between two ex-lovers, but between two people forced to confront their unresolved feelings while working side by side under the spotlight of the media industry.
Phi’s fiery impulsiveness clashes with Tam’s calm, methodical approach, creating a dynamic that’s equal parts tension and tenderness. Their professional rivalry mirrors their personal history, and as the story unfolds, the flashbacks to their younger selves reveal the roots of their connection — and the pain that once tore them apart.
💚 Chemistry That Never Fades
The emotional tension between Krist and Singto is palpable. Their performances are layered and mature, balancing restraint with raw honesty. Krist embodies Phi’s expressive and heartfelt nature so well — you can feel every ounce of his frustration, regret, and longing. Singto, on the other hand, delivers a masterclass in subtlety. His Tam is composed on the outside but quietly aching underneath.
It’s the kind of chemistry that doesn’t rely on grand gestures — it lingers in glances, pauses, and unfinished sentences. You can sense that these two characters — and these two actors — share a deep history both on and off-screen.
🐾 Sosay, Paul, and the People Around Them
Supporting characters add even more life to the story. Rita (Godji Tacharon), with her wit and wisdom, brings warmth and humour. She’s the kind of friend who sees through the nonsense, and her advice about exes — that no matter how painful things get, there’s always a lingering care — hits deep.
Then there’s Paul (Ohm Thitiwat), who introduces an emotional complexity that many shows overlook. His presence highlights Tam’s insecurities — the quiet fear of not being “enough” or not being able to take care of Phi the way others could. Through Paul, we see Tam’s vulnerability, his pride, and the emotional barriers he’s built. It’s a beautiful contrast to Phi’s openness and impulsive love. Didn't think he was gonna be a villain in the end.
Even Sosay the cat deserves praise — honestly one of the most expressive pet performances I’ve seen in a GMMTV BL! The animal symbolism throughout the series adds another layer of intimacy, reminding the audience of the bond that still connects Phi and Tam, no matter how much time has passed. I may be exaggerating about the cat, as a cat dad myself.
🌸 Family Wisdom and Cultural Depth
One of the standout moments for me was the wisdom shared by both mothers — Wari (Ngrek Kanlaya), Phi’s mum, and Sa (Kwan Kwanrudee), Tam’s mum. Their conversations ground the story in realism and heart. They represent generations of love that have weathered storms, reminding the boys (and the audience) that reconciliation isn’t about erasing pain — it’s about choosing understanding over pride.
And that final wedding scene? Absolutely stunning. The depiction of the traditional Thai wedding was deeply rooted in culture and emotion. The traditional formal wear — with Krist and Singto dressed immaculately in elegant Thai attire — added both authenticity and beauty to the finale. It wasn’t just romantic; it was reverent. You could feel the love and respect for Thai tradition in every frame.
🎬 Visuals, Tone, and Execution
Technically, the series is outstanding. The cinematography is clean and intimate, often using warm tones to contrast the coldness of the newsroom. I especially loved the two-second grey colour transitions between past and present — a subtle yet clever storytelling device that makes the emotional shifts easy to follow.
The production team deserves credit for the attention to detail — from the styling that makes Krist and Singto look believably younger in the flashbacks to the natural lighting that highlights their performances without overdoing it.
💭 A Thoughtful, Mature BL
What makes My Ex-Morning truly special is how it breaks away from the usual BL tropes. Instead of focusing on a new romance, it explores what happens after love — the regret, the growth, and the slow rebuilding of trust. It’s rare to see ex-lovers as main characters in BLs, and even rarer to see it done this sincerely.
It’s a reflection of real relationships — messy, imperfect, but still full of hope. And for longtime KristSingto fans, it’s a nostalgic but refreshing experience. The show feels like closure — both for Phi and Tam, and for us who followed their journey since SOTUS.
Sure, there are moments when the writing feels a bit overflowing or certain subplots don’t fully land, but the emotional core remains solid. The pacing is steady, the dialogue feels natural, and the balance between humour and heartbreak is beautifully handled.
🌄 Final Thoughts
My Ex-Morning is a heartfelt reunion that doesn’t just rely on nostalgia — it redefines it. It’s mature, grounded, and sincere. The chemistry between Krist and Singto feels richer than ever, and the cultural elements — from family wisdom to the traditional Thai wedding — give it emotional and national pride.
As someone who personally anticipated this reunion for so long, I can say this series exceeded my expectations. It’s a story about rediscovery, forgiveness, and love that refuses to fade.
💚 Verdict: 9/10 — A beautifully crafted, emotionally intelligent series that blends nostalgia with growth. My Ex-Morning isn’t just a comeback — it’s a celebration of maturity, love, and Thai storytelling at its best.
