Okay first of all… HELLO? THE REUNION OF THE DECADE??
When I saw Krist and Singto back on screen together, my heart straight-up did the Super Mario coin sound ’TING’. Y’all, I’ve been seated since SOTUS days, and now these two came back looking grown, evolved, and READY TO SERVE US full-course romance meals with dessert on top.
Back in SOTUS, we were living off crumbs. And by crumbs, I mean BLINK-and-you-miss-it shoulder taps and kisses that looked like they were scared of HR policies. Fast forward to The Ex-Morning and KristSingto said, “Let's traumatize the conservative aunties” because they were ALL OVER EACH OTHER. Tongue? Present. Pecks? Plentiful. Chemistry? Still illegal in 47 countries.
That steamy bed scene? I had to pause, breathe, and re-evaluate my entire BL watchlist. That wasn’t fan service. That was a public service.
The chemistry between these two? Still hotter than my ex’s temper. You’d think after years apart the spark might dim but NOPE. These two were out here like, “missed you bbg ” and then making out like they were making up for lost time, which they WERE. You can literally see how comfortable and synced they are. Every look, every touch, every little smirk??? Chef’s kiss. Highlight moments for me?
That flashback scene with them lying in bed, all warm and glowy and soft. I wanted to crawl into my screen and just sob in the corner like a respectful fan.
The kitchen kiss hello domestic husbands realness.
EVERY TIME they did that soft, slow forehead-lean-before-kissing move. Like can y’all just sign marriage papers already??
Their little pecks here and there??? Someone inject those into my veins.
Now about the show itself, it's giving "nothing new under the sun" but somehow still UNIQUE?? Like the whole flashback structure, the quiet melancholy vibes, the parallel timelines, all hit so well. It wasn’t trying to be dramatic for the sake of it. It just told a simple story about love, breakups, and reconnections and somehow made it feel fresh, intimate, and SO real.
The Ex-Morning is like a sad playlist with hot people kissing in between songs.
It had just enough angst to make me sniffle and just enough sugar to keep me from spiraling. A fair balance. Mood swings were experienced. Snacks were thrown.
Also, props to the OST because whoever was in charge of the background music was OBVIOUSLY going through it. The piano pieces? The melancholy strums?? I felt like I was the ex.
A Bonus thoughts on the final episode (yes, I’m still crying):
That last episode?? It felt like a warm hug from the universe. The way they gave us that soft, traditional Thai wedding?? I WAS FED. The outfits, the ceremony, the emotions, pure serotonin. And the little nods to SOTUS sprinkled throughout? My heart grew three sizes. It felt like a full-circle moment, like they said, “We know where we came from, and now look where we are.”
Yes, the 2-year time skip had me side-eyeing the writers for a sec but I get it, it actually made their bond feel stronger. Like, they could be apart, grow, live their lives, and STILL find their way back to each other. That’s not just love, besties. That’s soul-level stuff.
In conclusion:
KristSingto came back after all these years and said “we still got it” and then proceeded to ruin my standards for couples all over again. The Ex-Morning is romantic, nostalgic, and very “what if we kissed in the kitchen at 7AM and pretended it didn’t mean something... but it did?”
Thank you to the creators and GMMTV for not being stingy with the skinship this time. Thank you to the flashbacks for ruining me emotionally. And thank you to Krist and Singto for proving that true BL chemistry never dies, it just takes a steamy nap and comes back STRONGER.
Final thoughts:
I’ll be rewatching this every time I feel emotionally malnourished. Also, if KristSingto ever do another project together, I’ll sell my kneecaps to fund it.
9/10 because nothing’s perfect... but this was DAMN CLOSE.
