Best Thai drama I've seen. Happy ending.
Realism and Representation: no stereotypes, caricatures, heteronormativity, or demonized female characters. Thun is gay and he talked about how excluded he feels when his guy friends talk about girls. He struggled to accept himself. He had an emotional coming out scene with his mom, which was well acted. Everyone else is accepting, which is cool.Story: it's not uncommon to have dramas about straight romances across the living and dead realms but there aren't many supernatural BL dramas. This is a supernatural university romance, and based on traditional death culture at that, which is something I've never seen before. It's honestly very creative and interesting. Even if it doesn't have gay romance I'd watch it and I recommend everyone to do the same. It's also interesting for me to see how similar Thai culture is about death compared to my own culture (Hong Kong) and it turns out it's EXACTLY the same, even the part about carrying the incense to transport the spirit and praying to the earth god to let the spirit stay. Anyway, even though the beginning is a little slow, I'm truely impressed with the story, which is not something I say lightly. It's a solid 10/10, the best Thai drama I'm seen, not kidding. Great twist and foreshadowing, great coming out scenes, sweet romance scenes, fascinating mysteries, AND a happy ending?... It's got it all. I thought the only way for this to end was for it to be bittersweet but I'm glad the writers decided against that. There are some beats where the pacing is a bit slow but in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty negligible.
Characters: the leads make a cute couple. Even though they might argue, Thun's friends care deeply about him. Thun's mom is accepting. Plai is also a great character.
Acting: pretty decent. Although there is some awkwardness, the important emotional scenes are very much on point. Kudos to the young actors!

Happy Ending - Incredibly Underrated
This is one of the highest quality Thai BL shows I have watched. I am really unsure how it slips the cracks and it's rarely talked about. It's not overly sexual, low kiss and physical touching. But the chemistry, stares, sweet moments just push this show straight through! I binged watched it and did not have the itch to fast forward the few minutes through other actors scenes throughout the series. Everyone was fantastic and the "friend group" had great chemistry as well. The main female was likable and didn't detract from the main story. I was mad I missed this one pre Corona Virus, but now I am happy that I had something equally as good as shows like "Until We Meet Again" and "Tharn Type" to get me through another 8 + hours of quarantine!Don't kick rocks on this one like I did, just sit down and give it a chance.

There are 8 episodes in total and I think that’s a fitting number. The story keeps unfolding at each episode and it never got boring. Just a note of caution, the final episode made me cry a river. I think this is Sing’s (who plays Khiao Khiem) best performance yet from all the series I’ve seen him in. Same with Chimon. Overall in my personal opinion, this is a marvelous series full of depth, love, acceptance, self-truth and life!

LOVE IS JUST LOVE :)
Hi peeps! I watched the last episode yesterday and with no bigger spoilers, let's just say that I cried, laughed, cringed and smiled through the whole series. But now to the review :)STORY
Okay, so where do I start? I think the reason I waited so long before I started watching this series was bc first; I didn't know it existed until I saw it in a recommendation video on youtube, and secondly; I had a little problem with the storyline at the start. I really like the meaning behind this series, that love has no boundaries. But, to not spoil too much, I had a little problem with the thing that they met when Thun was about 10 years old. Mes has been dead for 20 years, which means he's around 40 years old. So that made me cringe a little bit.
But overall I think the writers did a whole good damn job with writing a story between a living human and a dead spirit. And it makes you aware that you should not take a day for granted, that you really are blessed to have this life. I love that it made me feel something. This isn't a story between just two lovebirds that have a problem accepting what they feel for each other. It's also about Mes story and him finding out what really happened 20 years ago.
ACTING/CAST
Singto and Ohm. Singto as Kongbop from Sotus and Ohm from Make it Right.
That's where I found them first and think of when I see their faces. It was a little cringe to see them together because of that but it also made me really happy that two of my favorite actors made a series together. And they did a really good job with it too, They gave the whole story life.
Singto, who played the ghost Mes, made me feel all the feelings his character feels. He was so cute sometimes, but once it was a heartbreaking moment, he turned into this really professional actor who was serious and tried his hardest to make the viewers proud of him. And I really am proud.
Ohm, who portrayed the character Thun. I haven't seen so much from him until this series but I have rewatched Make it Right three times with him in it. To not spoil too much; when the last episode came ohh boooy. He was the one really putting the story together, screamed, cried, and acted like a god. I really loved his acting and am looking forward to seeing more from him.
MUSIC
okay so, I haven't so much to tell you about this but I liked the music. It made me feel safe and I could feel even more with it in the background. I loved that it wasn't some text in it, instead they have chosen to use classical music that gave the series a really personal touch from all the "engineer and school" series. So thumbs up for the music from me. :)
REWATCH VALUE
I'm definitely gonna watch this series again so I can understand the whole plot some more. I want to look after details that I missed the first time, and I'm going to be more into it this time too I think. Bc of the whole first episodes, all I could think of was that Mes is 20 years older than Thun. But now I'm gonna rewatch it and just focus on the love between them and look at the story.
So? Some last words? Yeah, be sure to watch the end alone in your room with no one home, you're gonna need it. It's a happy ending but yeah, I don't wanna spoil something hihi :) Watch the series with an open mind and just enjoy!

GMMTV's most under-appreciated BL
A boy who can see ghosts and falls in love with one. They move in together and try to uncover that ghost’s murderer.I love Love LOVE He's Coming to Me. It's is probably one of the most under appreciated GMMTV offerings (right up there with 3 Will Be Free). This is one of the BLs I foist on people who aren't already into the genre as a kind of teaser to get them hooked.
It's a paranormal romance which is one of my favorite romance genres, so combining it with BL always makes me happy. I love everything about this show, the friendship group, the parents (good and bad), the mystery (there is one!), the coming out sequence (both of them are gay ya'll, not gay for you).
Look, Singto is good, but Ohm is a revelation. He's ah-mazing. I mean Frame is a fun character (Make it Right) and Ohm does a great job with the higher heat they foisted on him in that series at what, 16 or whatever he was (shudder). And Dew was a great part to show off his range, but he is FANTASTIC as Thun.
The part at the end where Thun has to confront Mes's grandfather? That breaks like EVERY Thai society code: linguistically, socially, all of it. Doesn't matter if gramps is a baddie or not, the fact that Thun would go into someone else's house and fight for his man against not just an elder, but a rich patriarch? It's INSANE. Thun is such a bad ass. Like bigger bad ass than Tan in Manner of Death.
Anyway, conclusion, more people should watch this show.

I watched it twice already but still makes cry. Ohm and Singto are one of the best Thai actors i know, I have watched their other movies and series and it never failed to amaze me with their acting skills.
I hope to visit Thailand very soon and get a chance to meet these talented actors.
The story line of this series was so great, it made feel sad and happy. I will rewatch this again after a few months coz it really feels good watching this series.

one of the most emotional Romances i've seen in a BL so far
To be honest, i didn’t like everything of this Drama.For example: some of the Plotlines are odd and unrealistic ( for more details Spoiler reade below), even for a supernatural/mystery-BL.
The Humor was too silly and childish for me and the first three episodes feels more like a Bromance, than an BL-Story.
Also the Ending was disappointing for me, because it feels incomplete for me( maybe there is a chance for a second season)
But when it comes to the dramatic Parts and the tragic Fact that this Love could never have an happy end, this one is a KILLER.
Music and acting are on outstanding and in this moments the series deserves the reputation to be an outstanding BL-series and also a great Love Drama.
So all in all, even with the flaws, i would highly recommend to watch this series and prepare some Tissues ;)
SPOILERS:
The Fact that Thun is dating an Ghost, who is also the Ex of his Mother and the Fact that the Mother is just fine with that is way too much for me.
The Fact that the Grandfather killed his own nephew, just for the money, and he will be forgiven is not good. He has definitely go to Jail.

One of the best Thai BL
One of the best THAI BL series I have watched. Acting was really good. The story is fictional of course but is it possible to fall in love with a ghost? Maybe, but who knows. I love Ohm and Singto. Ohm's acting is superb. I felt so moved with the story that I recomment this for all to watch. This is a really cool BL series. You will fall in love with the ghost too.Just Be ready with tissues at the last few episodes coz it will get heavy. But you'll be fine.
Just watch it. you will not regret it

Amazing
This drama honestly touches the heart so much. I loved every second of it and I highly recommend it. The acting is incredibly good and I started watching it because of Singto and the fact it was a BL but actually the other characters are really good because of the actors that portray them. I have definitely found new actors to follow. The story line itself is also really good and i really enjoyed watching it unfold, their are a few surprises that I really didn't expect as well. For fans of any of these actors, you really won't be let down. I just wish there was a 2nd series, it's that good.Was this review helpful to you?

Must Watch
So at first I thought how could you have a love story with no touching. This show shows that love is so much more than touching and sex. It was perfect. There was so much emotion and by the end your hoping somehow the ghost would become human again. Than if that did happen it would have been so predictable. It has its bittersweet moments. Like when the ghost was being ignored. I will say the beginning was a bit boring but its important because it really gives you a good background. There's not much you can about this show with out spoilers. Each episode something important or new happens and its never what you expect. Like when they touch. I highly highly recommend this show. Of-course the ending was bittersweet but I loved it. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.Was this review helpful to you?
