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.
