Hey there. Hoping you're doing well. This is gonna sound random but I need a reason to watch He's coming to Me. I was looking at a list of all gmmtv shows and I've seen them all, except He's coming to me. And the weird thing is I don't have a reason. I adore Ohm, i don't particularly like Singto but that has never stopped me before. I have no problem with paranormal bl or sadness in bl. But for some reason every time I think I'm gonna watch it, I don't. I don't know if this has ever happen to anyone else but every once in a while this happens to me with a show or a film, like there's nothing wrong with it but I can't press play. And I have no idea why. I was hoping for some motivation I guess, just cause I'm a completionist and it's nagging me that I only have that one show left. Anyway, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. (thanks for the space)

@nothingsbetterthancoffee, as a fellow completionist, I understand. Nothing can be left unfinished. No stone can remained unturned. No show can be left unwatched! But also, this show is a HOT TOP for me, so let me easily help you by giving you not one but TEN reasons to watch He's Coming to Me:

It has color-coded boys in love. <- The reason I showed up

Med/Mes is a stable, loyal, and intelligent Blue Boy who is happy (yellow) even in death. Thun is a Red Rascal who is spontaneous, energetic, and passionate. The love was always there, but seeing the color exchange always brings a smile to my face.

It's only eight episodes, and they are FREE!

Think of this as an eight-hour workday. Eat some breakfast, clock in to YouTube, watch five episodes (because after episode 5 is the PERFECT place to pause a la Bad Buddy), eat lunch, come back, watch the final three episodes, then clock out.

I know nobody wants to think of watching shows as work, but sometimes it helps to see the finish line at the end of day. Structure aids in productivity. And free is my favorite kind of watching experience, so it makes it even better.

The rooftop scene needs to be shown respect.

Mentioning Bad Buddy reminded me that He's Coming to Me's episode 5 rooftop scene walked, so Bad Buddy's episode 5 rooftop scene could run. Put some respect on this show's name!

The team behind it are elite professionals.

Aof, the director and an out gay man, has given us EVERYTHING! Bad Buddy, A Tale of Thousand Stars, Moonlight Chicken, and so much more. Rath, the cinematographer, has served us beautiful visuals every single time in Never Let Me Go, Dark Blue Kiss, and countless others. The screenwriter, Title, gave us the MaxTul vehicle MANNER OF DEATH. Imagine the Powerpuff Girls, but with film making. THAT'S the level of power behind this show.

The cast is stacked.

You already mentioned Singto and Ohm whose backs must hurt from carry the plot of so many shows on their shoulders, but the rest of the cast is A+ as well.

Sing and Chimon play the best friends, and they are the very BEST best friends. Sing has given us Todd(Black), and Chimon is about to embrace his sugar baby-ness in the upcoming Dangerous Romance. If they can stand next to THE Gun and the Perth, while holding their own, they deserve some recognition.

The supporting cast could beat every other supporting cast in a fist fight without breaking a sweat. We have Gunsmiles (who is no longer on the GMMTV's roster, sad times) who played in one of the best plots in 3 Will Be Free. We have Ampere who plays the office ally in GAP and La Pluie. Then we have Jum who only knows how to play the kindest mother from GAP, The Eclipse, and the upcoming Last Twilight. The twins, AJ and JJ show up, as well as Love who riled up enough people with her performance in Bad Buddy to get her own GL show!

Finally, we have the main ladies! Gigie makes you feel bad that this is a BL, so she won't get the guy, but that's because she is such a good character! Then there is Sine. I won't write much about her because I'm in love with her. I can't be rational about her. She never misses, and as a vegetarian, I would eat meat if she told me to. I. Love. Her.

The plot carries.

We all know shows that drag out the main plot for far too long. This show isn't one. It understands the assignment, and has a genuine plot beyond two boys falling in love. It also has twists and turns throughout that make sense to the original plot. Nothing seems disconnected, and everything seems logical in a show about ghosts.

The love is real.

For only eight episodes, in which one is mainly about a CHILD seeing ghosts, the way the love unfolds between the two leads is realistic. It is odd to see them first encounter each other when Thun is a kid, and Med is already a dead adult, but the way they come together as adults is touching.

The conflicts are believable.

Because of the way Med and Thun meet, and the overall plot, the conflicts are believable. They aren't just having issues because they don't want to communicate, or because it's the second to last episode. NO! One is a ghost who had his entire life ended, and the other is a young adult trying to figure out his life. The hesitation, the separation, and the conflicts in between are plausible.

The coming out SCENES are top tier.

If there is only one reason to watch this show, this is it! I don't need BLs to have a coming-out scene. Ever. If all of these shows existed in a magical bubble where being gay is the norm, I'd love it, but something about how Thun comes out in several ways, first to himself, then to his friends, and finally to his mom are all handled in the most endearing ways. These scenes healed my soul long before Be Loved in House: I Do hit me with its coming-out scene.

It has a happy ending.

Not only does it have a happy ending, but it has several happy resolutions for all the plots. It makes sure to wrap up the narrative while giving a little extra that completes the stories without feeling rushed or random.

Now that I've given you all these reasons, I hope you find it in yourself to finish the series. I know the first episode is rough to make it through, but once you get to the second half of episode 2, it should be smooth sailing.

As for me, I need to go write up He's Coming to Me (in Colors) post.

(thanks for the ask)

okay so I was rewatching he's coming to me and saw people were confused about how p'Med can touch things sometimes and sometimes he can't. and that was my cue to write an explanation essay... lmao just kidding. it's just how I interpreted what's happening. so...... here goes nothing

so here's p'Med thinking about how he couldn't touch the choco corn

while he could kick the shopping bag so easily.

so here's what I think.

it's really confusing at first. and then there is this thing that he's losing his ghost powers by using his powers on materialistic things and kinda becoming invisible. again there is this scene where Thun offers him cereal and p'Med just makes a clone of it to feed himself (note: the incense stick was on)

but somewhere at the end of the series, Thun says to p'Med that they could only touch each other when Thun wanted to, from his heart. so I think it really depends on Thun AND the incense stick. and explanation for being able to kick that shopping bag is simply because Thun wanted to. he really didn't want to get caught by Prince and Khiew so p'Med was able to save him by kicking the bag....

#it's just what I thought might be the case #idk if someone understood it in a more convenient way #pls tell me if I'm wrong #he's coming to me #medthun

Hey there again. Ok. So I've just finished He's Coming to Me. And you were right. It's great. I laughed, I cried, I gasped… The pace of the show is just right. Nothing seems out of place or superfluous. All the cast is amazing. The rooftop scene was heartbreaking and Ohm is amazing in it. It really broke my heart even though I knew it was coming. It goes hand in hand with his performance in Dew which I thought was amazing. And of course you were also right about the coming out scene. It was so well done. It was really masterfully constructed from beginning to end. And Sine is amazing all throughout the show but in this scene specially, her expressions tell the whole story. What was surprising for me was that I actually liked Singto. He's so good here. So pretty much all you said was true but… (sorry, there's a but) I didn't like the ending. I mean, I didn't hate it, but it made me sad. I don't know if this is gonna sound weird but I wanted more for Thun. I wanted Mes to go into the light. And then Thun would grieve, sure, but eventually find someone else and remember Mes as his first love, but have someone else he could be in the world with. This is probably an unpopular opinion but there it is. All in all I'm so glad I finally saw it, so thank you for the push (and for the space).

@nothingsbetterthancoffee, I have other recommendations for you, but wait . . .

You didn't like the ending?

You wanted them to be separated?!

That's cool. I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all by the thought of them not being together.

I wanted Med to inhabit someone else's body, so Med could live again, and they could be together forever, but your idea makes sense too.

*sniffling* I'm glad you watched it. I'm glad you liked it. I'm glad you asked me about it. I'm just really *breathes deeply* glad.

Because now that you wrote your ideal ending, I can offer you shows that might interest you:

Something in My Room - Thai. About a ghost haunting a house so his death can be resolved and the guy he falls for. Ten episodes that are less than an hour each. This is the ending you wanted.

Kissable Lips - Korean. About a vampire and the human he falls for. It's quick with eight episodes that are ten minutes each, so an hour and a half in total, maybe. The ending would satisfy you. unlike the rest of us. It's supposed to get a second season, but I doubt it because one of the stars, Kim Ji Woong, is an idol again or something K-pop that I don't fully understand.

Eternal Yesterday - Japanese. About a zombie (?) and the classmate he falls for. It is eight episodes that are less than thirty minutes each. You will like the ending.

Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul - Thai. About a reaper and the doctor he falls for. Longer with twelves episodes about an hour long. The ending is happy-ish. You could like it.

Miracle of Teddy Bear - Thai. About a teddy bear that becomes a human and the guy he falls for. This is LONG at sixteen episodes that sometimes go over an hour long. I hated the ending. You might like it.

Choco Milk Shake - Korean AND Strongberry (who we trust!). About a cat and dog that come back to life as humans and the human owner they fall for. Quick with eleven episodes, that in total equal less than two and a half hours. The ending got all of us, so you might like it.

See the comments for more recs!

You don't have to watch any of them, and if you watched some already, cool beans. I just thought I'd offer you something for making it through your wall and finishing He's Coming to Me.

Congratulations on completing the GMMTV list, and thanks for the ask (and follow-up).
