Ele Está Vindo Para Mim (2019)

Best BL Ever

I don't know where to start 555
First, I hate the fact that this is so underrated. It didn't get the attention that it deserves because of "some toxic fans".
I love everything about it. The cast, characters, music, and plot. It has the perfect amount of comedy and drama with a lot of unexpected twists and memorable moments.

Thoughut just a few episodes, the series was more than enough to satisfy you. The scene with the reunion of Mes and Thun's mother was the best one for me.

Brilliant & Heart-Breaking! Watching HCTM Felt Like Experiencing Life!

I am speechless! No words can express how I feel about this series. It's brilliant! It's perfect! I haven't seen anything as wonderful and so life-affirming as this series! My heart felt so fragile while watching this series; like it was about to shatter anytime, like it was about to burst!

I knew that this series was going to be good based on its premise, but I didn't expect it to be this good! A wondrous BL wrapped up in a riveting mystery whose premise was so utterly unique. Different than your standard Thai BL that is set in university, which makes it all the more special! It had a slow start but quickly picked up and its suspense has never let down once since. A story that is pitch-perfect in execution and that dealt with the struggles of coming out. I haven't a film or TV show that has dealt with coming out as tenderly and touching as this series (and that's a lot coming from a closeted gay individual who has watched a ton of LGBT content)! There was so much love from Thun's friends and mother, it felt like I was coming out of the closet myself and experiencing all this love myself. My heart welled up and I broke as I know deep down that my coming out will be vastly different, but at least it gives me hope... Imagine the impact that the coming out scenes can/will have on young Asian boys everywhere. Watching this series will give them hope. Hope that their lives will be better. That they will be accepted by their family and friends. That they will no longer have to hide themselves. I absolutely adore how this series dealt with sexuality and identity issues. Thun struggled with his sexuality; with his feelings for another guy. To see him accept these feelings broke me. I wished that I saw this when I was younger. I wouldn't have spent so much time praying and wishing to get rid of my 'abnormal' feelings for another boy, which did a number on my mind and self-esteem that still lasts to this very day. To show that gay people can find and forge deep, profound human connections with one another was a blessing. My heart broke and then got repaired. My heart felt so full; that it was about to burst from all the love between Mes and Thun. Watching Thun and Mes's relationship give me hope that I will love and be loved one day. The fact that their relationship is impossible (that Mase is a ghost whose time on Earth is limited) makes it all the more tragic and beautiful in a sense. More urgent than other standard BL relationships where the conflict is usually within oneself, not out of one's control. All the greatest love stories like Titanic and Romeo & Juliet display star-crossed lovers; lovers that cannot be. He's Coming to Me depicts a similar love. Although love can be ill-fated and you may not stay together, it is always better to make the most of it as life is short! We should try to be happy while we are still alive...

And their chemistry! Their chemistry was electric! I dare say that Singto's chemistry with Ohm is even better than with Krist! All the performances all around were strong! Ohm though was so impressive! I found him to be the most impressive actor in a Thai BL that I've seen thus far. He was so freaking good! I can see why Ohm won a LINE TV award for Best Dramatic Scene for this series! On a different note, Thun/Ohm was so cute! I cannot contain how cute he was, especially when he smiled! My heart melted! And Gigie, the actress who played Praifah is the cock blocker of the gays. LOL. 2gether and He's Coming To Me.

It is really unfortunate that it's a LINE TV exclusive and isn't on Youtube as it could've gotten and deserved to be so much more popular than other BL series like SOTUS and 2gether (which I still love but prefer He's Coming to Me more).

On a side note, I did not like the two rape jokes that were mentioned, which was distasteful and served no purpose whatever other than cheap laughs. And what's up with Thailand's fixation on equating beauty to Chinese appearances. It's kinda weird. I wonder if there's a basis for it... I did some research on Wikipedia and came across this sentence: "many of the wealthy Thais in Bangkok are of Chinese descent and have naturally lighter skin than the indigenous Thais from the countryside." It makes sense as Asia is very prejudiced with their penchant for lighter skin and Eurocentric beauty. It's unfortunate, but GMMTV should help shape and change people's views on beauty, especially since they have so many beautiful full-Thai artists under their banner.

Heartwarming yet heartwrenching

I want to start this review with saying it's a MUST WATCH for BL fans.

The story:
The story is amazing. Most BL dramas are all about school but this one isn't really which makes it refreshing!! The story is actually really good and I was constantly wondering "how did he die?" So the story keeps you curious and entertained.
What I loved most about this series is that it's also about the difficulties of coming out. The male lead is getting teased about getting a girlfriend and about (possibly) being gay and more.. if you get teased a lot.. it makes it harder for someone to accept themself and to come out. So those struggles were really well portrayed.
The only thing I didn't like 100% is the ending. The two didn't get separated but they also can't totally be together since the guy is still a ghost. That's too bad.

The acting:
I freaking loveeeee the actors. The side characters were lots of fun and totally cute. BUT the main actors.... OOFFFFF WE STAN! The male actor (the living one) is soo cute. I have seen him in different dramas but he keeps evolving. The other male actor (the ghost) was very adorable. And when the two got together it was like two matching souls. They have great chemistry together!! I loved that.

My opinion:
Despite the two never really getting together.. as two living souls.. it's still a beautiful, cute and romantic drama. So I'd definitely rewatch this... like too many times.

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Personally, I didn’t really feel the romance but everything else about this drama was just about perfect. The characters, all of them, the friendships, the mother-son relationship… Thun had, hands down, one of the best coming out episode I have ever seen. Yes, pretty much a whole ep was dedicated to him coming out as gay to his friends and the girl who liked him and his mom, and it was one of the most wonderful, most wonderfully acted thing I’ve seen.

I adored Thun’s friends, how much they all genuinely loved Thun, how worried they were about him keeping secrets from them, how they were willing to face his wrath to get him the help they thought he needed when they convinced themselves he was on drugs, the way they went above and beyond casual friendship “duties” for him.

And his mom, his mom deserved a Mother of the Year™ award. She was so incredible, so fantastic. No wonder Thun grew up to be such an amazing boy with a mom like her. They pushed all my parent-kid buttons with their love and care for each other. That was beautiful.

Also, the mystery was so intriguing! I genuinely didn’t think that it would turn out to be that particular person, the murderer. Huh. I adored the whole reveal scene, the way Thun kept pushing and pushing and pushing to get to the truth because he promised Met to figure out what happened to him!

The ending felt a bit like a cope-out, TBH. I think I would’ve preferred if Met reincarnated and went looking for Thun as an adult. But that’s just me…

Well, this is one of the most under-rated BL ever. Every aspect of this series is just BEAUTIFUL. This show just goes to show Singto's acting flexibility. After a strong and confident character in Sotus, he play a lonely innocent ghost. Ohm as always did a good job. Their chemistry is as good as Krist-Singto. The storyline is simply extraordinary. Again, no sexual scenes and very few kisses. It is not for people who can't accept a sad storyline. Though the story is not realistic, the cinematography proves otherwise. The OST is beautiful. Recommend for people who are ready to grab a few tissues to cry along the way.

A great love story!

I cried watching this, and that's coming from someone who doesn't cry easily. It has a great storyline, nothing was there unnecessarily, which is probably why it only has 8 episodes, but I think that's enough to keep viewers on their toes. This is definitely one of the best BL series I've watched. I can't decide if this is better than "Until We Meet Again" (the best BL series I have watched before this in my opinion), but it is definitely high up there on my list. The cast list is just superb and the chemistry they have with each other is commendable. The words and feelings exchanged between the main characters are so earnest and real, which is so important to me when watching a love series like this one. The OST, especially the opening song, is worthy of repeat-play (which is what I'm doing now for the next days, probably even weeks).

All in all, this is worth watching, it touched places in my heart I didn't know existed and I'll be dreaming about it tonight 'cos I am obsessed with how good the story is! xoxo

The concept of the story is something new and different which I like. Always appreciate a good plot. Ohm and Singto have a great chemistry. I love this couple. The only complain I can have is that its short. Only 8 episodes are not enough to fill my hunger lol. The cast of this series were pretty good. Singto and Ohm are both really great actors no doubt. Also the side characters were pretty good too. Its definitely worth watching. Also would have loved it if it had season 2 but I don't think thats gonna happen but I'd love to see Ohm and Singto in other projects more

Oh my, I must of cried at least 5 times watching this show!! It didn’t help the fact that I’m also on my period hahaa. But a serious well rounded production. The music, the twisted storyline and the characters were amazing and ‘he’s coming to me’ is probably my favourite Thai series so far. A lot of bl series seems to only care for the intimate relationships but in this case, it’s definitely about the emotion. Ahhh I’m still wiping my tears right now. :,) Overall, if your wanting a series with a lot of ‘sexual’ romantic scenes, this isn’t the one for you BUT you’re definitely missing out!

Amazing story

I was surprised that this only had 8 episodes, but it fit well. I loved how this played out and the interconnectedness within the story. Thun's friends reacting to him "talking to himself" all the time is great, though, I feel like in real life he would have been committed ha. The soundtrack behind some of the "touching" moments got a little over used in my opinion, but the chemistry between Ohm and Singto was amazing. It is a little weird to think about a ghost and a human, as that kind of plot is not usually what I go for, but they worked it out very well in this.

I only wish at the end it had followed up more with Khiew in the last episode! I know he's only a side character, but it would have been funny.

You shouldn't miss this hidden gem!

[This is not a very well-promoted series but IT'S A GEM! ]

In my opinion, its plot, production, chemistry, and acting are absolutely amazing. This is such a non-cliche BL story with well-crafted characters. You finally don't see college students in the engineering department (not saying it's a bad thing but it's just very overused). Every character grew a lot during the series even though it's just 8 episodes. The emotions built up very well.

Overall, this show has a sense of poignance. The story exists between the past and the reality. I love how it organically ties in Thai culture with issues people are experiencing in modern society. It very well represented the struggles of people in the LGBTQ+ community nowadays. The relationships in this series are healthy and soft.

The production is also very good. I have always been a fan of P'Aof's direction because of his cinematography. This series doesn't feel like a GMMTV series to me because it's not as bright, but the whole atmosphere fits the theme very well. The melody and lyrics of the theme song are so beautifully written! I almost cried the first time I watched it. Also, pay attention to the outro songs of all the episodes. They are all different and they even filmed different outros. This shows how much dedication went into the production.

Now talking about acting, we all know Singto is a great actor. Even though I now and then see comments on how his energy level is low during the shooting of this series because he was also shooting Friend Zone at the same time, I still think he did a great job. However, Ohm really surprised me! He was only like 18-ish when he played Than but HE KILLED IT! The rooftop scene specifically, is one of my favorite scenes across all series I have ever watched.

In conclusion, you absolutely shouldn't miss it!

A Lovely Ghost Story About Love, Acceptance and Basketball

So what a beautiful series. I took issue with the ending, but we'll get to that. What I've learned yet again is that I love Singto so much. Seriously as an actor he will break your heart in anything he touches. Shatter it to pieces because he's such a sweetie, with a sweet face and demeanor. The melt your heart type of actor that I kept calling baby boy throughout this series lol he gets to you like that!

I knew this series was going to get to me because our main character is a young person whose died. But holy crap it got to me more and more as it progressed! I loved the buildup of Med and Thun's relationship, it was so wholesome and heartwarming. As soon as Thun lit the incense as Med's grave I knew this pairing was special. Then you find out he can see him because Thun is a medium. Signed, sealed, delivered they will fall in love and be super connected.

Seeing Med right off the bat waiting around at his tomb for no one was what set me off first with tears. Wtf show that was so sad! Then these two driving around (because Med can finally leave the graveyard) with the top down. Second time, total tears and Med giving Thun peace as a child about his dad's passing. There weren't a lot of dry moments during this show. I could sense immediately that there could be interferences in Thun's life with this relationship, since he's coming off as basically insane talking to himself in public constantly. Seriously that gave me such anxiety seeing people constantly staring at him in public!

Med becomes Thun's cheating mechanism basically throughout this story, in school (watching Med walk around the classroom was hilarious) and in basketball. Which by the way FINALLY a Thai BL with basketball and not soccer (football) lol, I love basketball so my day has come! I liked that the girl in the group (Praifah) wasn't your typical third-wheel impeding on the main couple's love story. She was actually a legit friend, character and ultimately helped Thun figure out he was gay. Hello heteronormativity you're not welcome here! The homophobic teasing was so aggravating, but it was needed in this to show the reality. Which by the way that coming out scene with him and his mom was one of the best I've seen in BL's. So emotional! The actor (Ohm) did a great job with the emotion in this. Especially in that scene and the rooftop scene with Med fading in and out but Thun poured his heart out. So good.

So as much as I loved this show, there were some things that I was either confused by or took issue with. One thing I was confused by is whether or not they made Med slightly translucent in certain shots or was it just the lighting? Like in the mall scenes. It could've been either and I wish it was more obvious. Another one was the "rules" of being a ghost. Meaning why were they emphasizing at one point Med being able to touch things? When that already happened with the laptop prior and it wasn't discussed lol. It might've just been when he's able to pick up things but it was confusing. Now the biggest issue I had with the show was the ending. Unfortunately I didn't like it very much. I kinda wish Med had indeed moved on, since that's what was built up for so long and the emotional weight was perfectly heavy. Like I literally had to tell people in the same room not to look at me during the last episode, I was sobbing that badly. When Med dissapeared I was SHOOK! I would've loved for this whole show to have been about Thun's gathered experiences from Med's love and lessons. Not a weird open ending of "it's not my time yet" and not knowing when that "time" will be or if he will just be with Thun until Thun dies. This easily would've been a 10/10 without this strange ending.

Even though I felt that way about the ending. I still want to end the review with more positives. The traditional sounding music used throughout this show was beautiful. The revelation of why Thun and Med can touch sometimes was so sweet. The kisses were heartfelt. The plot twist of the mom being Med's friend in the past was weird at first but interesting! I didn't see it coming and it continued the "fates collide" underlying plot of the show. I also liked that Thun got his gift of seeing ghosts from his mom.

Initially I saw the 8 episode length and was like wtf is this so short!? But looking back it worked well. The episodes are longer and it starts the blooming of the relationship going far earlier than normal (episode 4). Definitely watch this if you haven't! But honestly I would skip the last part of the final episode. It would've been a better ending in my opinion. Though I get many want a happy ending no matter what! I shall end this with a quote that broke my heart from out dear Med.

"Sometimes I feel like I didn't really exist even when I was alive." Baby boy we know you existed don't worry!

after watching 2moons and 2moons 2, I wanted to watch more BL dramas and this was definitely a really good one I will probably always remember and probably rewatch. I usually don't cry and I honestly did watching this. The storyline was fantastic and the ending was great. I will say it does it a little weird towards the end but a lot of Thai dramas are like that. I would recommend to watch ! I binged watched the whole series in about 2 days and I do not regret it. It's cute, VERY funny, and also heart touching. ***SPOILER ***** I think my favorite scene was when he came out to his mom, I think a lot of people can relate to the scared feeling of coming out to their parents. It was pretty powerful. ****SPOILER ENDING*****. The show has alot of funny parts to it, it is very hard to get bored watching this.
