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.
