Ele Está Vindo Para Mim (2019)

This is not your usual college Engineering BL story. I love the fact that they put up something so unique it keeps you hooked from the start. It doesn't bother me to watch it all over again just because it has an investigative and mystery side of things. For me, rewatching the whole series is about the feeling, the growth of the characters, and the moments that makes your heart flutter. It wasn't called a BL if it's not love that you are looking for.

Singto played differently from his other BL installments. I'm an avid Krist and Singto fan, but seeing him with Ohm, feels like I am being a traitor to Krist. Singto and Ohm has that unwavering chemistry that makes my heart happy whenever I see them together. Singto's acting here is outstanding as expected, but this is the first time I saw him act like a child. lol!

Ohm on the other hand surprised me. For me, he did not acted at all, it was so natural I felt like it was his own life he was portraying. I'm not sure if it's because they have the same character as Than, I haven't watched him before on another series. But god! He played really good in terms of what emotion he needs to project. Such a treat!

When I started watching the series, I was not convinced if it was worth it. However, from episode to episode I was getting more and more into the series. A beautiful story about the boy's love for the spirit. Acting at a high level, beautiful music touching story. I poured a sea of ​​tears while watching some of the scenes. The series proves that love has no barriers. For the scriptwriter, many thanks and thanks for such a beautiful love story. I will come back to this series because it moves, it is magical and one of a kind. Who has not watched yet, I recommend ????

A charming supernatural story that captures the realities of the human experience

NO-SPOILER REVIEW

While this series starts out with a fantastic premise and explores otherworldly themes, the depth and relatability of the characters make it feel like one of the most authentic and intimate representations of real human relationships and experiences.

Pros
- The creative plot premise and relatable characters make for a compelling narrative.
- Charming and talented actors make every minute believable and touching to watch.
- This series portrays the realities of some very difficult life situations quite realistically.
- While some dramas feature less than healthy or exaggerated relationships, the interactions here are realistic and mature.
- At only 8 episodes long, there's no filler here.

Cons
- At only 8 episodes, you will definitely want more. Some plot elements could have likely been distributed differently if they had more time.
- This series is severely underrated. Perhaps because of the licensing rights it hasn't had as much exposure when it first aired. It just came to GMMTV's YouTube account a year later, but hopefully more people will see and appreciate it now.

Overall
- This is a unique and wonderfully charming series that is short and easy to watch so everyone should give it a try!

At first I didn’t expect to his series to draw me in as much as it did. From the music to the acting to finally the story, this is by far my favorite drama’s I’ve watched. It tackles so many things and Ohm’s acting in this shows how much he’s grown from Make It Right. From the first episode to the last, it kept me wanting to find out what happens next. The mystery of Met’s death to the growing affection between Than and Met, it will melt your heart and make you cry several times over throughout the episodes. I also loved the music in this, it helps that I can understand Thai and the music choices they used from the 90s really tied in wonderfully with Met. They lyrics ties into the story so well.

Sympathique et original

Voilà un BL Thai qui sort des sentiers battus et n'a pas grand chose à voir, justement, avec les BL Thai qu'on a l'habitude de voir. Et ce n'est pas désagréable, bien au contraire.

Bref résumé : en 1997, un étudiant prénommé Mes décède d'une crise cardiaque. 20 ans plus tard, il erre toujours dans le cimetière où se trouve sa tombe car il n'a pas encore eu l'opportunité de se réincarner. Un jour Than, un petit garçon qui semble capable de le voir, vient lui faire des offrandes, et il revient chaque année. Devenu étudiant à son tour, Than lui propose d'emménager avec lui pour l'aider à rassembler les souvenirs de son passé et découvrir les véritables raisons de son décès. En parallèle, les sentiments qu'éprouvent les deux jeunes hommes l'un envers l'autre vont évoluer.

L'intrigue n'est pas à proprement parler exceptionnelle, mais elle parvient à garder notre intérêt jusqu'à la fin, car elle est bien gérée et les épisodes sont peu nombreux. Il n'y en a que 8, soit statistiquement moins que la plupart des BL Thai, de sorte que l'histoire évite de se disperser et nous épargne les longueurs inutiles voire ridicules (les habitués sauront de quoi je parle). L'intrigue reste principalement centrée sur la relation entre les deux protagonistes, la recherche des causes de la mort de Mes et son adaptation à cette nouvelle vie avec son nouveau colocataire, ce qui est loin d'être évident pour un fantôme surtout s'il est mort avant l'avènement d'Internet ! Bien sûr on a des éléments à côté, comme les relations de Than avec ses amis, leur inquiétude face à son comportement troublant, le soutien qu'ils lui apportent dans cette aventure, les craintes de Than qui découvre son homosexualité et ne sait pas comment son entourage réagira..., toutefois lesdits éléments restent en lien avec l'intrigue principale et apportent de l'épaisseur à l'histoire sans nous lasser.

Ensuite, cette histoire sort du lot par rapport aux BL "traditionnels" sur plusieurs aspects. Déjà c'est plutôt rare de voir des BL fantastiques - hormis quelques exceptions, comme Until We Meet Again qui aborde le sujet de la réincarnation de deux amoureux tragiquement disparus, mais même dans UWMA le contexte était relativement le même que dans la plupart des BL, avec son lot de clichés vus et revus (décors universitaires, hésitations et timidité sans fin du héros, fujoshis stéréotypées, concours de popularité, placements de produits ridicules, couples gay multiples...). Ici rien de tel, et même si les personnages sont étudiants, ils pourraient tout aussi bien être déjà insérés dans la vie professionnelle que ça ne changerait pas grand chose. Quant à la romance, elle est bien insérée dans l'intrigue et plutôt agréable, bien qu'elle reste light. Disons que cela forme un tout, mais le drama ne tourne pas QUE autour de ça, ce qui nous offre une histoire bien ficelée au niveau de ses différents aspects.

Le jeu des acteurs est lui aussi à noter. Pas d'hésitations débiles, de phrases qui durent trois heures à cause de silences à n'en plus finir, ils sont naturels et convaincants, ils ne font pas de chichis, leurs dialogues sonnent vrai, bref ils sont normaux comme dans la vraie vie quoi... (bon j'avoue que le jeu de Khiem, l'ami de Than, ne m'a pas tellement convaincue mais ce n'est pas bien grave parce qu'il reste un personnage sympathique). C'est plutôt une exception par rapport aux productions actuelles.

Et j'ajouterai un point en particulier qui m'a vraiment, vraiment fait plaisir : les personnages féminins de ce drama sont toutes des personnes positives, à commencer par PlaiFai, la fille du groupe d'amis de Than. En général, les nanas sont soit des fujoshis débiles, soit des evil bitches, et plus rarement, des amies qui soutiennent le héros et le conseillent. Ici, PlaiFai est vraiment bien rendue, il lui arrive de picoler, elle est parfois triste, elle a d'autres centres d'intérêt que de se trouver un mec (même si elle a aussi droit à sa romance, mais ce n'est pas le principal). Et on ne la cantonne pas au rôle de "soutien" du héros, car oui, les nanas ont aussi autre chose à faire que de rentrer dans la case de la bonne copine dévouée qui soigne, conseille ou console (vous savez, la fonction du "care", le seul domaine de compétences où on autorise généralement les filles à prendre les commandes parce que c'est bien connu qu'elles adorent s'occuper des autres même si en vrai ça les gave). Elle a de la personnalité, elle est naturelle, saine et agréable, en gros elle est tout simplement réaliste, et c'est assez rare dans les dramas pour que je ressente le besoin de m'étendre un peu plus là-dessus.

Alors certes, ce n'est pas le drama du siècle et je ne pense pas que j'aurai envie de le revoir, mais il possède suffisamment de qualités et nous offre un peu de nouveauté dans le paysage des BL Thai "classiques" (heureusement ça commence à changer, notamment avec "Manner of Death" et "A Tale of Thousand Stars", espérons que ça va continuer), et rien que pour ça il mérite d'être visionné.

Story:
Even though I love BL romance (because that's essentially the only kind of BL there is among Thai series), I enjoy how He's Coming To Me decentralizes the romance. The story is less about the problems their relationship faces, but how they develop and maintain it while doing other stuffs in their life. I like that a lot. Of course, there is a fundamental issue - that Mes is a ghost. It also talks about coming out. There is also solving an unnatural death mystery. All of these are serious, heavy issues, but they were addressed in a simple, sweet, almost light way, so you don't have to worry about the angst too much. (You might want to prepare some tissues for the last EP though.)

Acting/Cast:
I love the cast. I've watched a lot of GMMTV series, so I had good feelings about Singto, Sing, Chimon, Gunsmile and Ampere before I started watching. They are a good fit for their roles. It's kind of interesting that Singto, Sing and Chimon - the gang - have all played a BL character before (Sotus, Slam Dance, My Dear Loser, respectively). They are all very enjoyable to watch. The girl who plays Praifah is a little stiff. Overall, though, Ohm stood out the most to me. He is really charming. His character is youthful but caring, and he depicts that perfectly. His smile is very bright and his tears shook my heart.

Music:
The OST in the opening title is one of the most beautiful Thai OSTs I've known. Very well-written, well-sung and well-produced. I would also recommend listening to the old songs in the ending credit.

Rewatch value:
Because I didn't end up falling in love with the characters in an obsessed, fangirl way, I don't really feel the inspiration to rewatch. Yet. (That being said, I think I will watch Blacklist, the next series Ohm is starring in, because of how adorable he is here.)

Overall:
I would recommend this to anyone. You don't have to like BL to enjoy it. It is an enjoyable watch that will leave you with a smile at the end.

My heart is just blown. Finished watching this excellent drama through tears and laughter, pain and happiness. I have watched quite a few Thai dramas and BL shows. This stands out as one of the best I’ve seen. What a nice surprise that was! The acting was far superior of any other acting I’ve seen in a BL drama so far. Mature, believable, touching. The chemistry and friendship between the two male leads felt genuine and believable. I have to say that Singto and Ohm’s acting was just beyond improved. It was actually so much more than I expected. I felt for these characters and lost myself in their story. Ohm has such a charm and a smile that is infectious. I really hope he continues to be successful and get more great roles after this. He could really be a big thing. Singto also delivered well and made me forget all about “SOTUS” who? I really recommend lovers of the supernatural and young love give this one a try!

Where to start? The story felt original, at least to my western eyes. A young boy who can see spirits meets a lonely ghost at the cemetery. The chance encounter turns into a long lived friendship, as the boy comes back every year to pay his respects to the ghost's grave. I won't spoil the story with too much details but suffice it to say that eventually the friends become roommates and the roommates become more than friends.

This is a beautiful story, shot beautifully, with powerful and unforgettable performances. As expected, Singto delivers a great performance as Mes, but it is Ohm who steals the show as the adorable Thun. The supporting cast is good. My only complaint is that there is some stuff that I saw coming way too early and I wished they had done a better job of keeping the big plot twists buried and not foreshadow anything... Also the actor who plays the grandpa was in my opinion the only weak acting but he plays a minor role so is not a big deal.

Episode 5 and Episode 8 have some unforgettable scenes. Bring your tissue papers because you will need them. I wish this show had been longer, maybe 12 or 16 episodes and a part of me wished it had ended a bit different. You will have to see it to decide.

Overall, this was by far the best BL I have seen, and two particular scenes in Episode 5 stand out as top best dramatic scenes in an LGQBT show that I have seen, right below a couple of scenes from the US version of Queer As Folk. I think everyone should watch this show, that is how good I think it is.

So, go watch it. You won't be disappointed.

I didn't give it a 10 because of the grandpa's acting, the tendency to spoil the twists with foreshadowing and a particular scene that some may like and some may not but I didn't. It is a scene towards the end of the series, a dramatic pivot that serves to bring forward the truth about how Mes died.

OK, I will tell you more but POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT:
Ohm and Singto's acting was superb in the scene but I felt the supporting cast, and the writing was not up to par with previous scenes. Once more, it is a scene that Ohm totally steals and he is great but it reminded me too much of a Spanish telenovela. The other thing related to this that brings the rating down a notch is that the resolution for what happened in the past didn't seem to fit the actual crime. I have read this is typical Thai culture and family values. They want everyone to sing kumbaya at the end but it was irritating to me as a Westerner. Like why didn't Prai get mad at the grandpa, why was forgiveness so easily handed out?

So there you go, that's why it is a 9.5 and not a 10.

This charming and low-key drama is essentially a supernatural coming-of-age story about a young man who sees ghosts (Ohm) and the one he decides to bring home one day (Singto).

While Singto has already established himself as a young actor through the very popular Sotus series, Ohm shows he has definitely moved on from the dumpster fire that was Make It Right. Both actors put in fine performances aided by a script that's subtle and - considering it deals with ghosts - surprisingly realistic and sincere.

He's Coming To Me is characterised by consistent, sensitive plotting and its refusal to discount any characters. It is extremely well-written and even has a few twists and turns that are both surprising but also sufficiently telegraphed (this is no mean feat). It has not one but two well-developed and extremely real female characters, both of which are treated by the writer with respect. And it almost completely avoid the bad BL tropes that have plagued the genre since Love Sick. Despite the premise of the show and an ending that disappoints, this show is not about a ghost that falls in love with a boy but is instead about how we grapple with love, loss and identity through adolescence.

The Ending

When a drama is as coherent and well-written as this one is, if someone messes with the ending it becomes obvious. The show unfolded beautifully until about 5-10 minutes before the end where the whole thing becomes a mini trainwreck. You can almost see the tear marks where someone hacked off the original ending and stapled in a new, nonsensical version. This show could give kdramas a lesson in how to ruin a perfectly good drama by missing the landing. I'm sure a lot of people were fine with it (HAPPY ENDING!) but, quite frankly, it was dumb and almost ruined the rest of the show.

I'm not going to downgrade my rating because of the ending because almost everything else was executed perfectly. But it is jarring. Most if all it's stupid. I'll just pretend the drama ended as the writer clearly intended before this nonsense was pasted in.

This was very well done in so many ways. I've watched the leads grow up as men and as actors. Their chemistry is evident as they work through the mystery and their feelings for each other. Than's pals are perfect foils for him. More good acting from the entire cast of actors who I've watch grow up from boys into men. Without giving anything away, my sole complaint is the wig they put on grand father in the flash back scenes. Whoever decided on that item needs to be spanked. Other than that this is a well written, well produced and well acted story. Just a single warning. Keep the box of tissues handy for the final episode.

I must admit this is one of the best BL that I have watched and the first fantasy as well. Ohm really play the role so well, he really changed and became a good actor. I really love him so handsome! Singto also did a good job in portraying his role.

This what I like about Thai BL, they do not isolate their artist into one love team instead they explore their artist. Kudos! hope there will be season 2 and this time episode is much longer.Kudos to all behind the story to make this series possible :) I hope Ohm will have another project like this or something related to this soon.

The series started off smooth and somehow jolly. Per episode, it would unlock certainly some key points to Mes' (Singto) past and how he died. Not only does Mes' death discovery progresses, but also Than's feeling for Mes. Climax parts of the story would be on the second part of the series already (EP 5-8).

Also every episode, the tension rises within the conflict and would actually leave you hanging and wanting the next episode much faster (But since the series is finished, you can just straightly watched all episodes. lol.)

It is one hell of a rollercoaster ride of emotion I assure you. You will laugh, cry, laugh again, then cry.
Musicality wise, there are certain hits (sometimes past hits) from Thailand which they are featuring almost every episode. [There is a playlist of the songs used in the series which can be found at spotify]

Really recommending this series if you want to start watching Thai Dramas.
