He's Coming To Me (2019)

severely underrated

I feel like this show deserves to be a ton more popular than it actually is. Like, I genuinely believe this should be considered one of the top BLs. Everything about it was great. The story was sweet, the messages were important, the acting was brilliant, and the music fit perfectly.

For the topic of the show being Med's death, this is honestly one of the funnier and more lighthearted BLs that I have watched. The writers did an excellent job balancing the serious and somber scenes of the show with funny as hell scenes that had me cackling.

The messages this show conveyed were also incredible. It used Med's death as a metaphor for other issues (which I will not mention because spoilers) that really hit home for me. In addition, they avoided doing the whole "I don't like men, I just like him" trope with Thun, and actually had him go through a character arc regarding his sexuality, which I sincerely appreciated.

I mentioned this before, but I have to mention this again: the acting in this show was SO GOOD. Singto and Ohm (especially Ohm) absolutely killed it. While I knew Ohm was a good actor from Bad Buddy, when I got to one particular scene (you'll known the one), I was absolutely blown away. I mean, truly, Ohm shines in this drama. Even more so than he does in Bad Buddy.

Just watch this drama. I swear, you won't regret it.

This is just that NOTORIOUS TEAR-JERKER series to me!!

This series is one of the best and everything about it is top-tier and unmatched. It is a refreshing concept about supernatural phenomenon about boy's love. This drama really had me going and the plot and the way it smoothly flow/unfold is just commendable. I never even in my wildest dream that this cute rom-com BL drama would evolve in deeper and emotional phase. It's like the further we go in the more the mysteries unfold one by one which is a crucial thing if u want your audience to get a grip on what they're watching. I just never thought that as the eps went on the more I found myself in a puddle of tears. Let me tell y'all, I've never ever had cried more than twice in a series and this one just wrecked me. The cast just really delivered and the pacing of the story is well-balanced.

This supernatural phenomenon about boy's love is refreshing amongst complicated and lovey dovey BLs out there. I want to applaud the actors for serving what's needed in the drama especially Singto and Ohm. They really made me feel things and their chemistry is overflowing. It's just that whenever they are to deliver intense and heartfelt scene, they never disappoint. I also love that this series did not really portray Gigie's character Prai as an annoying home wrecking bitch we never needed. I love that her character is kind rather than being obnoxious who tries hard to win Thun over. The series just gave me lots of laughs in the beginning. They're like pouring humor at the beginning and then insert this emotionally raw scenes as the episode went by. One of the scenes that really left a mark on me was the funny scene were Thun and Mes flirt with each other while Thun teaching him how to use a bike. I thought it's just hilarious that some people were like "tf what the hell is going on. Just Thun enjoys playing with Mes and having fun with bicycle that when other people of thought. Ibalso love how intertwined the characters are to each other.


The first scene I've ever cried here is the last scene in an EP where Mes and Thun caught feelings and I was like "oh shit, I already know what's gonna happen". I just sobbed uncontrollably after seeing that scene. In my mind I was like "no, what'll happen if Mes moved on after discovering the mysteries around him? What if it all ended will Mes leave Thun alone til they meet again in the afterlife?” I was just feeling my thoughts in advance. The second part is probably when Mes starts to fade and Thun cannot see him anymore. I really cried and it's just me and my messy tears overflowing from my eyes.

I really love how supportive Thun's friends are and understood him when he admitted he loved Mes. I thought Mes's ghost friends were goofy and just keeping Mes company in his lonely years in the grave. I also love how the drama revealed how Mes died and we did find the culprit which is the old man who was after Mes's family's fortune. I cried so much when the moment strike in and their lips touched each other for the first time then Mes went missing afterwards. I was really unprepared that happened and the scene in preview where Thun tearfully put things in Mes's grave.

The one scene that I'm sure not only me thought this is just hilarious. It must be that Mes moved on and was surprised that he came back bcuz it's not his time yet. This comedic scene just really warmed my heart. I thought some are disappointed about the ending, well at least it ended on a positive note nothing more nothing less.

One of the things I admire about this series is the choice of music and its stellar cinematography. To sum it all up, it is hands down one of the best dramas I've ever watched. Let me say that this series right here just touched me like no other and undeniably has a special spot in my heart. Y'all did that and y'all slay!!! Good job GMMTV!!

A Heart Warming Story

I loved everything about this series, from the storyline to the characters, it was so perfect. Some episodes had me in tears, but because it was so poignant. I loved the characters feelings for each other, they were entirely believable. You might think a show about a boy as a ghost is going to be silly or tacky but that is not the case with this series. There were also some twists in the storyline that were surprising and added some additional drama. This is a story about boys' love, friendship, coming out, acceptance and more! Every episode was good. Really, give it a try, I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Interesting story without unnecessary filler.

This show was really good in many ways, especially the storyline. I'd never watched one like this though I know there are a few out there that dabble in supernatural. This series, though short, used their time wisely. I felt like every scene had a purpose and there wasn't much unnecessary filler.

That being said, there are a few things left unanswered at the end. And, while it has a somewhat happy ending, it really isn't all that happy either. I don't want to give full-on spoilers, but basically nothing is really resolved and they leave as a "that's something we will have to worry about later" kind of thing.

I would rewatch maybe once or twice more to see if I could catch any foreshadowing, but that's pretty much it. Still worth a watch at least once, in my opinion.

By now, I think I’ve realized that open endings are the bane of my existence, however the pseudo-happy open ending of this drama didn’t really hit me very hard probably because I didn’t really care enough about any of the characters. It was a semi-entertaining watch with a mildly interesting plot and mildly interesting characters. Everything about this drama is just “meh” and I don’t really know why. I reckon it’s a mistake to try and judge this drama on the same level as a 16-episode Korean drama, however I do really feel that you’d have a better time watching a Korean drama than this one, and it’s sad because this is regarded by many as one the best BLs of all time. For a BL, I was hoping for a little more skinship and less “fish kisses” between the leads, but it’s not really a deal breaker, as I prefer emotional connection over actual kissing, and this drama definitely delivered on the emotional aspect part, as short as it was. Even though nothing about this drama was memorable, I still had a fun time watching it, so I’d recommend this as long as you keep your expectations low.

review

I liked main leads but thought the chemistry between them wasn't that great. it felt more like they were best friends rather than they were in love with each other.

story-it was not to bad the story but I think it could have been better. there was some scenes in the drama that didn't need to be in it. the story felt rushed near the end where it felt they tried to put so much into one episode where I think if some scenes were not in the drama they could have made the story a bit more exciting. (this is only my personal opinion, everyone will have their own about the series.)

I do enjoy watching ohm he is one of my fave bl actors but don't see him in alot of dramas for bl.

the acting was OK I did enjoy a good few scenes with ohm especially when you seen him show proper emotions he played those parts really well.

rewatch- I don't think I would rematch it.

but I would still watch both main leads in other dramas.

Seriously Underrated Gem

The plot is not very promising as I am not a fan of ghost stories but I continued watching because the two leads look cute together.

I didn't expect it will hit me so hard. This is a seriously underrated gem and I am so glad I discovered it. The main and supporting casts are stellar and while the story is simple, the execution is flawless.
I'm not exactly a fan of Singto but he is quietly convincing here as the softie ghost, a huge improvement from SOTUS where I find him wooden.
Ohm is such a remarkable actor and he shines bright in whatever scene hes in. His talent is out of this world. He is killing it here. His monologue on the rooftop scene was so convincing I couldn't help but feel hurt for him.
The coming out scene with his mom was so natural and heartfelt that it will tug anyone's heartstring. Ohm succeeds in displaying a wide range of emotions so effortlessly that he's no doubt one of the very best actors out there. He deserves more opportunities.

I wasn't surprised to find out P'aof directed this and wrote the screenplay. He is good at reflecting the journey and struggles of being gay that is so relatable. I am a huge fan of his work because it stays away from toxic and unrealistic tropes. That ending though was a dud and completely unnecessary. Up to that point, the story was excellent.

Still HCTM is simply one of the best BLs out there.

Almost perfect but.....

Pushing BL in this series was never a good choice in my opinion. Most of the supernatural-mystery BL dramas that I have watched are very unique and interesting. They also come out as one of my favorites (you can check the list of BL dramas in my profile for your reference). In this series, those genres really stood out fantastically but failed to win my favor due to cringey comedy, snooze-fest school-related plots and irrelevant main-lead romance. Although I guessed correctly most of the mystery plots, but the plots are well-executed and almost flawless. The entire late-half of the series (except the last 10 minutes of episode 12) is very remarkable and above decent.

Truthfully, the main leads could've been the best of bestfriends in the entire 'drama world', not as love interests to each other. I tried to feel the love affection but I can't. Prince-Praifah is much more emotionally bearable.

In the end, I could still say this series is pretty watchable. Worth my time.

Emotionally Endearing!

The concept of the series was what drawn me to give it a watch along with it being only an 8 Episode series which is not too long. The story talks about a boy and a ghost in the midst of a mystery to figure out the death of the latter and how their friendship soon developed into a budding romance that may be against the course of nature. I expected it to be a tear-jerker throughout but I didn't cry up until the end of the series itself.

I think the casts were nicely selected and the reasons why I think so:-

[Singto] - This series has given me a fresh taste of Singto as he plays a lonely but gentle and adorable ghost character. A good departure from his dearly loved character as Kongpob in Sotus, it was refreshing to see him carry out a character. He was able to carry out the mischievous role while staying sensitive towards the emotions he has to portray.

[Ohm] - A talent that I've recently been diving into as he never fails to impress. Although I started watching his newer work such as Dew, Blacklist, and the currently running 'The Shipper', Ohm delivers his roles so well that going backward doesn't seem to have any negative effects. He really is a talent that calls for attention and I look forward to more of his shows. (Psst, still salty he wasn't added as a new cast for Gifted S2) ; In this series, Ohm plays a young boy that sees a ghost, and what started out as pity soon reveals the secrets hidden in his heart. His cheerful, positive, and happy character battles against his inner fears of being a disappointment and struggles with acknowledging his identity. A very well done portrayal of that.

[Chimon] - Another actor whom I've been binging on due to his spectacular performance in both The Gifted and Blacklist. Chimon as Prince is also a fresh take as we get to see his character shine as a supporting role instead of trying to forcefully prove himself to be THE BEST.

[Ssing] - Ultimately one of my favorite actors. Ssing's role as Khew is just hilarious as all his other roles in other series. He's still the goofy buddy that brings joy and laughter to every scene he is in. Never disappointed in his acting.

[Giggie] - Only having seen her once in 2Gether as Pam, I have not formed many impressions about her, however, her role as Plaifah was done pretty well. Secretly harboring feelings for someone unattainable while ignoring the one who is showering her with attention. My only hope is that she can practice more facial expressions. It's not bad bout it's not great either.

[Ampere & Gunsmile] - THE BEST! Hands down! I have nothing else to say except, "GIVE THEM AN AWARD"!

The songs are great! There is that whole old school vibes which introduce us to a new variety of Thai Songs. Now as to whether it's a show I'd rewatch again, it'll be a MAYBE. I won't purposely and intentionally go like, I NEED to rewatch this but maybe a few years down, I might wanna watch it again.

super cute

I'd half expected to write a mini review on how this series devastated me (as most ghost centric BLs tend to do) but hey hey! A happy ending? Even if it doesn't make full sense? I'll take it!

This was a cute little show: ghost boy is stuck in graveyard for 20 years until ghost-seeing human boy decides to help him. It's a simple tale, and it works for this little show; my only issue is that the answers to Mes's death were a little anti-climatic, in my opinion. I feel like the build up and development of the story was wasted on the weak acting and writing of the 'big reveal'. However, other than that, this show manages to do it all: young men struggling with not only sexuality, but mortality; cute, comedic sidekicks who aren't wasted, and even a female non-love interest who isn't whiny or annoying at all.

The ending was a little bittersweet because of course we all want a happy ending, but all I can think of now is that Mes and Thun will live a strange little life together (where no one but Thun and his mother can even see Mes) and one day Mes will still disappear and leave Thun alone. It's still better than a depressing ending, of course!

Hino injustiçado

Enfim, terminei de assistir essa série pela terceira vez, o que é curioso, pois eu não assisti no lançamento, pelo menos não imediatamente. Como esse plot que mistura real e sobrenatural não me apetece muito, eu aguardei para ver o que as pessoas diria após o final. Não é que eu não goste desse tipo de BL, mas para que ele funcione tem que ser muito bem feito, e eu tinha muitas ressalvas. Na época (2019), eu ainda era muito apegada a ships, e não via o Singto e Ohm como casal, ledo engano, eles simplesmente se completaram e deram um show juntos, aliás, hoje tenho a compreensão de que o Ohm é shipável até com uma porta kkkkk.

Tudo nesse roteiro é perfeito! O fato como aborda assuntos densos de forma tão leve e divertida, como as crenças e a cultura do pós- morte na Tailândia, a atuação do Thum criança, que foi maravilhosa. A forma como abordaram o fato do Thum possuir o dom de ver os espíritos. Acredito que desde que virou adolescente, mesmo sem perceber, o Thum esteve apaixonado por Mes. Não existe outro motivo plausível para levá- lo junto com ele para casa e lutar tanto pela reencarnação dele. Esse é outro ponto em que o roteiro brilha! Todas as peças de encaixam como um quebra cabeça... Mes é tio da garota que é apaixonada por Thum, e é ex namorado da mãe dele, é como se o próprio destino os unisse.
Por falar nelas duas, chegamos em dois pontos importantes. O primeiro, é a descoberta da sexualidade de Thum, e a forma como isso se deu. Ele não usou a amiga, na verdade, ela o beijou (A cena da chuva me faz chorar até hj). Depois que foi rejeitada, e ao descobrir que ele era gay, ela não foi a garota que inferniza o casal, ao contrário, isso foi louvável, numa época em que os BL'S tinham o péssimo hábito de vilanizar as mulheres. Os amigos também foram maravilhosos, eu até esperava uma certa homofobia, e recebi uma amizade respeitosa e verdadeira.
O segundo ponto, é a forma linda como a mãe dele aceitou sua sexualidade de forma tão natural e respeitosa. Realmente foi uma cena belíssima. Sem falar no plow twist dela ver fantasmas... Fiquei imaginando o Thum criança que precisava fingir que não via o Mes pois seu pai não gostava quando ele dizia que via os fantasmas.
Nós 12 eps, não tivemos cenas pra encher linguiça. Cada EP tinha uma dinâmica maravilhosa, cada cena era importante na trama, e sempre nos instigavam a querer mais, a esperar loucamente o próximo EP.
Sem falar que tanto o casal principal quanto todo o elenco tinham uma excelente química, e na medida certa. Parece que cada pessoa realmente entrou no personagem.

Como nem tudo é perfeito, a minha única crítica é sobre o tio de Mes, que simplesmente o assassinou por dinheiro, confessou, e ninguém fez absolutamente nada para punir ele, como se a idade o redimisse... Isso pra mim foi totalmente absurdo.

Sobre o final, foi exatamente o que pedi. Já que a série é sobre fantasia, deveria existir uma que permitisse que ele ficasse na terra. Ele renascer seria estranho pra mim, já que inviabilizaria a história de amor. Rachei de rir quando o amigo dele viu a fantasma kkkkkkk.

No aspecto técnico, também não posso reclamar. Os efeitos especiais foram bem feitos, até tinham cenas que eram cortadas no nada, mas era por bons motivos, pra dar ênfase a uma outra cena na qual envolvia um mistério ou algo assim. A ost é perfeita, a fotografia, filmografia, cenários, atuação, tudo maravilhoso.

Não tem como não recomendar essa série. É umas das minhas preferidas e acho que todos deveriam assistir a essa obra de arte.
