“The Ex-Morning” Series Review (Ep.5 to 10)

Leave a comment

I think “The Ex-Morning” should be considered one of the best series of 2025, which left a good impression on me. Krist and Singto’s characters in this series are perfectly imperfect, and that’s what makes it more wholesome or believable. The series is based on a “Second-Chance Romance” between Phi (Krist Perawat) and Tam (Singto Prachaya). The plot revolves around heartbreak, a random breakup, misunderstandings, and reconciliation, which was intriguing because it felt like a breath of fresh air in a sea of similarly scripted shows being produced.

“The Nameless Season” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)

Leave a comment

This is a sweet journey if you are drawn to sweet genteel cliché friends-to-lovers romance narratives. All the characters are sweet. The story is sweet. The outcome is sweet. But be forewarned. You might slip into a diabetic coma from watching this rather short series because of all the sweetness that is pumped into your blood from this saccharin novella. However, I cannot say that it is not curiously entertaining, for it is. Mainly because of the symmetry between the actors. While there is nothing in this series you have not seen in other similar versions before, perhaps done much better and deeper than here, there is still enough hitherto to grab your attention.

“Dating Game” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

Leave a comment

I loved this series! It has charm, wit, sweetness in all the right spots, and a bunch of endearing human warmth. While not overly saccharine, it is also not traumatizing. Curiously pensive and reflective, it has all the elements of a most believable love story told in soft, subtle gentle tones that simply make you feel good all over. There are two love stories, actually. Both are surprisingly compelling. While the various protagonists are interconnected, their individual love stories take very different paths to fruition. Both end up being (well, more-or-less) plausible and credible sequences.
