GMMTV's only (almost) perfect bl drama
*THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS AND IS NOT MEANT TO CONVINCE ANYONE TO WATCH THE SHOW, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY OPINION ON THE SHOW TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT*
I started watching bls a year ago, right when the pandemic first started. I've seen a LOT of bls, mostly thai bls from GMMTV. This is why I had concluded that GMMTV isn't really the best at making bls. Like the only one I enjoyed a lot was 2gether and even that drama had its flaws. So when I heard of He's Coming to me I decided to put it off and watch other dramas. Now that I couldn't find anything else to watch I decided to go ahead and watch this bl. AND OMG THIS BL BLEW ME AWAY.
Even though I have seen other shows that are objectively better than this one. But this drama really immersed me into the lives of the characters in the show. Usually, I have problems with shows that are less than 12 episodes because I feel like the pacing can be off and that there could be parts of the plot that could have been explained more. This drama managed to have near-perfect pacing which I really did enjoy. All the parts of the story were played out well. The only thing I have to complain about a tiny bit is that this show gives me lowkey SOTUS vibes but not completely like I don't know if both shows have the same director or if maybe it has something to do with SIngto being in both of the dramas but the romance isn't really the center point of this show, at least not at the start. Like the first 4 episodes, you almost forget that it's a bl and just get caught up with the little slice of life Than and Mek share. I haven't really cried recently when it comes to watching dramas. But episode 5 was so perfect. Ohm's acting felt so real that I was in bed at 12:00 am crying with him over his heartbreak it really touched me. And after that point, the romance picks up and I don't know how to explain what this show did to not make it feel so rushed. I guess that the shows did drop a few hints that there was something more going on between the leads but it's really subtle. And I love how to story also centers around the friend group I really enjoy that because most of the time the friend group is just background characters or side ships so I was really content with the show bringing the friend group and showing the audience their strong bond.
Okay, the only nitpicks I have with this show is first of all...... WHY MAKE THAN A KID WHEN THEY FIRST MET. I know that they start loving each other when they are around the same age. But I don't like whenever there are flashbacks about them that they remember those memories too it just feels a bit weird to be but nothing too bad. Second of all, WHY IS THAT OLD MAN NOT IN JAIL. He straight-up murdered his OWN NEPHEW FOR MONEY. How in the world did everyone forgive him so easily. And lastly... the ending. I thought this drama would end sadly. So I was so confused when I saw somewhere that this show has a happy ending. That statement alone is up for debate. Like honestly when I saw Mek again I thought he turned back into a human so that they can live the rest of their lives happily. But no? He just comes back as a ghost and leaves us on a cliffhanger until now 2 years later?! Like idk either revive Mek, let Mek actually go to heaven, and just give us a sad ending where we see Than in the future living his life but never forgetting Mek. OR give us a season 2 of them together and show us whether Mek can stay with Than or actually reincarnate.
I thought that 1000 stars was the only (almost perfect) bl drama and that just now GMMTV has started putting care into their work. But now seeing this, I realize that GMMTV had to capability to make amazing bls already. They are just a lazy company that gives audiences mediocre to good bl series for money. I hope that in the future that more bl series start having the same quality as this one.
