He's Coming To Me (2019)

I remember watching years ago, but I only remembered the basic points and so decided to give it another go.

I am so glad I did. What a gem this show is. I really enjoyed the slow burn between Med and Thun, and I liked that it went hand in hand with Thun's realization that he was gay. Really enjoyed how supportive his friends and mom were about it, too. Just a really lovely group of people all around.

Another thing that was fun was the mystery of how Med died. I liked that once Thun decided to help him find out he was all in, willing to help him pretty much no matter what. I honestly don't know if I guessed the mom thing or just remembered it from before but that was a kind of hilarious twist - well mom, I'm in love with your ex who's been a ghost for twenty years. Blessings?

The one thing that knocked this down for me (I'm not into the soundtrack much but I would have given it a ten if not for this), was the whole story with the grandpa/uncle. I think I will never get used to these dramas downplaying things that seem like a pretty big deal to me. Manipulate your student into committing literal crimes and nearly drive him crazy with the pressure of holding up an impossible standard? It's okay, you have trauma too so we understand! Deliberately sabotage your son's happiness so that you can make your marriage scheme become reality? All's well that ends well! Plot and then actually go ahead and murder your own nephew, or at the very least orchestrate events so he could die? We can't change the past, all we can do is hope for a better future! Clearly I take these things too seriously.

Overall though, I really did have a good time. I thought that the chemistry between everyone was excellent, not just the two main characters but the entire cast, and I think the eight episode run time worked in its favor because it kept the show from ever feeling bloated, or like they were trying to find things to do to fill time. And the ending, while bittersweet in its way, is perfect for them. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable show, and I'm very glad I decided to watch it again.

Better than I expected

I'll start this review by saying that I don't enjoy Thai BL dramas that much, which is mostly because of the usual editing choices and the majority of having settings at high school or universities which is something I don't really prefer.

I read the premise of this and was interested to see a supernatural story. It started like I expected from a Thai drama again, pacing issues and like I mentioned before, the editing (especially the sound direction). Many times the "comedy" fell flat with me.

However, the acting from the main male leads were so good. Their chemistry was amazing, and especially the actor playing Thun did a fantastic job. Someone else mentioned on the comments too but, I also liked that they integrated the university for a reason rather than just it being that way because it is (like I said) what the majority also shares.

Around episodes 4-5, I found myself getting really into the story. There were maybe too many twists, but it kept me wanting more. I felt my eyes getting teary near the end.

The ending left me a bit unsatisfied, but overall this series was a nice breath of fresh air.

Unexpected cast. But amazing delivery

Honestly, I did not expect Ohm and Singto as a couple. But they outdid their performances.

A ghost who died too young in probable heart disease (Singto as Med). A young boy who can see ghosts (ohm as Thun). Two best friends who are very caring also extremely nosy (Chimon as prince and SIng as Khem). One girl torn between her love and friendship (Gigie as Praifah). A coming out story and the mystery of the death of the young ghost. This drama series tackles too many things yet it does not fall short into the promise of delivering top-notch storytelling.

He's Coming To Me is essentially a romance comedy between a very cute ghost and a young human boy. Singto's acting is brilliant. In fact, it's above brilliant. His innocent puppy eyes will steal your heart for sure. Ohm too, I knew his versatality , but he is just amazing. Chimon as the brilliant students of the group passes with flying colours. Sing has a special place at my heart. His character takes the cake of the comedic acting.

Over his career Sing has played some amazing characters. he mostly does support roles but often has the capacity to even shadow the main leads. His character Khem is a little stupid, the mood maker, the one with questionable skills and the fiercely protective and supportive best friend. 60% of enjoyment of the comedy relies on his shoulders.

This is a truly comfort drama for all. I will rewatch it for sure and this is coming from someone who hails Triage as their comfort drama. Oh the irony!

At the episode 7 and 8, the series escalates and we reach the climax. The mystery unfolds and we finally find out the actual cause of Med's death.
Also there are strong allusions of Harry Potter all over the series. From mention of Platform 93/4, to the chamber of secrets, a snake guarding the chamber of secrets, Med (Singto) being the boy hidden in the cupboard as the door of his room was covered through a literal cupboard. I found it quite creative actually.

The music is also good. Director P'Aof never dissapoints anyway. This series will be close to my heart.

Unspoken Love

I'm still fairly new to the BL world, so there are lots of dramas that have been recommended that I haven't watched.

I've seen Singto in Baker Boys and know of Ohm (but not seen Bad Buddy yet!). I love supernatural stories so thought this might be interesting, but that was all. I was surprised as the acting was great and the story was clever with lots of fun and angst.

I didn't expect the ending or the flirting that happened then!

What I liked: Ohm's acting was great. When he was cute, he was great. When he was angry, he was great. When he was in pain, he was great. Outstanding scenes for me were the coming out to mum scene (brilliant) and the confrontation scene with grandpa.
Also, a younger, lovelorn Chimon was so sweet. His character felt relatable. The scene where he confessed made me smile and I was hopeful it would turn out OK.

What I didn't like: scenes where Singto was pouty were cringey and unnecessary.

Overall, it hooked me in and I had to see it through to the end.

THIS IS WHAT I PAY MY INTERNET FOR

It has been so long since I last felt pleased this much watching a series. A ghost x a person, that story/concept could go wrong on so many levels, yet, this one didn't. The two's emotional development took place smoothly and was absolutely convincing.
Yes, there were many plot holes, but they were minor, and it didn't affect the main events at all, so I'll just let it slides then, it is harder to find series WITHOUT plot holes, anyway.
The ending was so pleasing and comforting that I couldn't have asked for anything else.
The acting was superior ! All of them were significant, present and believable. I'm glad that I found a series that has actors who can really bring out all the basic emotions within a person. Although, they could actually act like they were not seeing anyone instead of avoiding eye contact altogether when interacting with the spirit of Med. But that did not push me away, therefore, it doesn't affect the watching experience that much.
And the music~~ Oh my lord ! It was beautiful and meaningful and was placed appropriately throughout the series, I was impressed (and some of the copyrighted soundtracks has become my favs, too).
To conclude, this series will quech your thirst of having a good BL to dive in, do not miss out.

ONE OF THE BEST BL TO BINGE WATCH!!!!

I binge watched this and can't even get bored with it!
Tbh, this is the first drama I've reviewed with full 10 star.. but it was soo on the pointtt
It was at the right length of drama, the right atmosphere, the right cast!
At first, I was just watching this for Ohm, but the series able to make me stay and made me shed some tears here and there!
The love story of a human and a ghost may be a field full of land mines, but I recommend you to watch this, cause they execute it beautifully

PRODUCTION
The execution was incredibly nice! At first seeing this on 2018 drama with supernatural setting I prepare myself for the worst case scenario of an edit. But it turns out quite well!

STORY
I'm really happy with the story and how the writer wrap it. The flow on this drama is amazing, It keeps the audience glues to the monitor and keep feeling the story flow. I got NO feeling of a rushed story and NO unimportant prolong of the story.

ACTING/CAST
Sometimes its hard to pretend a person not there and making sure that you don't meet their eyes, so that the audience can differentiate between people who can see them and who can't, without gluing your eyes to the ground. But the actors did it nicely.
I'm a person who likes to see the smiles the actors makes. And sometimes (very rarely) I can feel that the actor's smile is a bit forced, like its not their usual smile, but maybe that's just in my mind. I still love the cast very much tho! (cause, duh, im here because one of em)

MUSIC
Sometimes the music in drama feels bland or too much. I rarely put anything above 8 for music In a drama for I can never tell and often feels indifferent to it. But with this drama, they made the audience notice the present of sound effect yet didn't make them feel bothered by it. Especially in the first episode when Med is in critical condition, we can hear the music that the character hear, but then we can hear more of his heartbeat and the transition between it isn't weird.

REWATCH?
I will rewatch a few episode! But since I'm not a rewatch lover, I probably will watch some scene that I love.

If Casper liked boys

Fantastic plot, not rushed in the slightest, 3Dimensional characters all around, focused and fantastically acted.

+ Singto crushes his roll + fantastic support cast + non toxic BL tropes!
- plot twists lacked - slightly predictable - the 'girlfriend' was not needed

It was incredibly written with each character having specific goals and stories, they were supportive and relevant to the plot from start to finish.

The major twists just kind of happened there was not much seed planting early in the season so they just became like "oh OK well yeah i guess that makes sense. So they lacked depth in that regard.

This was my first BL with Ohm (Thun) and i was so impressed with what he added and his acting especially with someone like Singto (Med) was perfect.

For once i found myself wanting more side stories i genuinely wanted more of Jeng and Ngoon.

It was so unexpectedly great!!

I actually scared to watch this because i was scared it will end with a cliche ending like the ghost moving on or something but damn finally i watched it after felt like wanting to watch something sad and collecting all my courage... But errrr instead of crying i think i laughed more??and as i watched this drama i started to think will gmm really do the cliche ending?? Is this gonna be a sad ending?? Gmmtv with sad ending? And as i thought as i watch the series it is impossible for gmmtv to make a sad ending for their bl dramas... So if anyone out there who are scared to watch this because of the unsure ending it will have... Dont be! And just watch this you wont regret it i promise! I really love this drama damn its not solely focusing on the NC scenes or typical bl love story this is really something else a ghost with a human like what??? But their chemistry made you forgot about that issues and just enjoyed their moments together with them... Im going to rewatch this until im bored??and how ohm helped singto, how he was in denial about his feeling but ended up accepting it.. The plot twists!! The progression of the story really great it was not rushed at all for an 8 episodes long series.. I love how ohm got angry for singto it was so real..but i cant help myself to think about nanon and krist waiting for them behind the scene with clothes hanger in their hands after each kiss scenes?????
