The Ex-Morning – A Tender Reunion of Past and Present Love
I didn’t watch SOTUS, so this was my first time seeing Krist (Phi) and Singto (Tawan) acting together — and wow, their chemistry is something special. It’s yet another ex-to-lovers trope, but done with such heart and elegance that it feels fresh. The flashbacks to their younger days? Absolutely beautiful. Each one a soft ache — a reminder of love that never truly disappeared. 🌸
There’s a quiet magic in the way they remember each other. Tawan still buys Phi’s pork sticks, and Phi still treasures their old anniversary shirt. If their love had truly faded, they wouldn’t still be holding on like this. Those little details made me believe in them again. 💔🌙
Episode 8 hit me the hardest — the kisses in the car were tender and unhurried, like time stood still. Phi taking care of Tawan, cooking for him and comforting him in front of his mother-in-law without hesitation, was just pure, quiet devotion. And the hospital bed scene? That small space became a whole universe of comfort and love. When Phi said, “I’m glad I have you in my life,” it felt like the entire show paused for that one soft truth.
I was thrilled they had a traditional Thai wedding at the end — not a modern one, but one rooted in culture and sincerity. It felt like such a grounded, authentic closure to their journey.
That said, Episode 9 did stretch believability a bit. Phi randomly boarding a suspicious boat, then jumping into the ocean under gunfire, felt unrealistic. Most people wouldn’t risk their life — or their partner’s — based on a hunch. A machete threat would’ve made the escape scene more plausible. But I still loved the island scenes — Tawan caring for Phi’s injured leg, the romantic kiss, their teamwork — all of it was gold.
In the end, The Ex-Morning isn’t perfect, but it’s full of soul. A tender story of second chances, filled with nostalgia, longing, and healing. For anyone who believes that love never really goes away — it just waits for the right morning to return.
