God tier bl!! (sorry if my English is bad)
So i enjoyed this show, when I started I didn't expect anything, I loved the music, the whole cast was amazing. Singto and Ohm acting was so good I really didn't expect that! the episodes never feel boring and the EMOTIONS I felt guys.. maybe ep7 was the biggest roller coaster; the sadness, the suspense, the comedy itself was fine. And let me talk about the coming out scene, first with his friends, and then with his mom... I understand the fear of reject, i cried a lot that part :( as a (l)gbt person. The only thing I have to complain was the ending, I was expecting a "bad" ending, because a relationship between a ghost and human huh... or even I thought he would reincarnate. (Maybe is just me bc I love angsty endings) lastly I'm glad that the show doesn't have the fujoshis or the "I don't like boys, I only like you" agenda.Was this review helpful to you?
All actors are great and fit to their roles. Both
main leads are superb in this drama. They have a really good chemistry. They both made me feel the happiness, struggle, fear and pain that they are experiencing. Ohm was just so natural and his smile was one of the best thing I have seen in my life. That is why when he cries you just want to hug him. Singto was perfect he is cute, lovable and a great actor. All the support roles did a great job. One great thing about this series is that all cast have a good chemiatry with each other.
The story may be unrealistic but the feels are so real. I love how they incorporate in the story the struggles of a young boy in coming out to his friends and family. It was not an easy journey and how it was told was so real, the fear of being discriminated, the confusion, the struggle not to disappoint your loved ones, everything happens in real life. That is one of the reasons why I said it was so real despite of its unrealistic plot.
The love story was a classic romance of two lover that came from different worlds. That is how I see it. The way it was shown was so heart warming. The lack of means to touch did not hinder to make me feel the love that they have. This is what I mean by LOVE. It can be shown and felt in so many ways.
Overall this is a really really must watch series.

So, not gonna lie, I totally watched this show for Ohm. I adored him in MIR (pretty much my favorite part of that show), and he's a fantastic actor. I am new to Thai dramas so I haven't seen the other lead's shows yet, but he was fantastic too. This show was amazing. I loved the story. I loved the plot. I loved everything about it. From baby!Than and the way he interacts with Mes to adult!Than's bossing Mes around. Apart from the reason of Mes's death being hella predictable, the rest of it was really fun.
I loved Than's friends and even though I usually prefer friends to remain friends -- because why can't girls and guys be friends without them wanting to be more!? -- but I actually liked the awkward love triangle. I loved the goofiness and the way she was one of the guys. It was so adorable. Also can I just take a minute to just comment on just how gorgeous this girl is. Like *breathes out* *takes a minute of silence to calm self*
This whole show was just too cute. There were so many predictable parts. SOOOO MANY. But overall a fun, enjoyable show. So much fun.

Would definitely recommend, even to non BL fans
So this is my first review, and I normally avoid doing them, but I really love this drama way to much not to. I went into it not really expecting to find anything really gripping, but BOY was I wrong. Literally everything about this drama had me captivated from the first episode. It made me laugh my butt off at some parts, cringe from emberassment at others, and bawl like a baby at others.Story:// 10/10
Mes is a ghost who isn't quite sure why he can't move on. Than is a boy who can see ghosts. As a child, he would visit Mes and leave him snacks, and as an adult ends up inviting the spirit into his home. They live together and develop a deep friendship - which eventually turns to more - all whilst trying to help Mes move on. It's kind of cliche, but the execution is unique and absolutely delightful.
It may be BL, but that's not the main focus. It seems to focus more on friendship and cherishing those you hold dear, and includes mature and realistic themes such as coming out to your parents, delivering all of this without being your typical dramatic and cheesy BL. It has it's fair share of fluff, but this one is a slow burner!
Acting/Cast:// 9.5/10
There wasn't a single actor here who didn't carry their part. I first saw Singto in Sotus, though in my opinion he was much better here! He played Mes perfectly; every emotion he portrayed seemed so genuine. The rest of the cast did wonderfully as well, especially Guy and Ampere (the actors for Mes' spirit friends). For characters seen so rarely compared to Mes and Than, they're just as memorable and charming. The chemistry between everyome was amazing as well! There were a few awkward spots here and there, but in general it was wonderful.
Music:// 7.5/10
I'm generally pretty picky with music in general, but most of the music in this drama seemed to fit the moods and the scenes they played for. Not the best, but quite nice.
Rewatch Value:// 10/10
I would definitely rewatch this, and actually am at the moment. This is my favorite drama and will never cease to be so. Hopefully now that I've already gone through the heartbreak of the last few episodes, it won't hit me as hard this time.

Before the review I would like to say, I'm not a fan of ghost romance stories, they are either too dramatic or irritating. But this one was weird in a good way. The whole concept of a guy trying to find his killer, is to be honest a very common plot. Romance between Mes, a ghost and Than, a human is executed very well. Than suggesting Mes to accompany him, offering to help him to find his culprits was heartwarming. The part where Mes disappears heartbroken and Than desperately searching him, was acted well. The killer was quite predictive but you can just ignore it.
Coming to our leads, SingtoOhm, both of them just slayed it. Singto has grown into a handsome guy and actor ever since Sotus and i hope he achieves great. He playing a cute ghost character was something new and played the character well as always. Ohm was so natural with his acting. A child who finds solace in a ghost and wants him to be with him forever, Ohm was just perfect in his role. I hope he receives lots of love and good male lead ventures in future. I hope both of them can work together again. I loved their chemistry and acting.
Ssing, Gunsmile as always never failed to make me laugh. ChimonGigie were sweet(I hope they are again paired together). Background score was so good, it merged well with the scenes.
I feel it was a new experience in BL world to have romance between a ghost and human(Not to forget it had a happy ending). It a very warm, cute drama which is super underrated. I hope people forget KristSingto for a moment while watching this and give this one a try because it is worth it(I really love their friendship though!!).

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! THIS. IS. AMAZING. I never thought that Singto can act this good! FUCKKK!!! now, i think he is such a good actor he could play a lot of role. The first series i watched he was in , SOTUS makes me feels that his acting will only reach average level but it turns out that the character is like that and he plays it so well, i thought it's really him. BUT DAMN GURL. IN THIS SERIES, he is so cuteeeeee! Like the character that he is suppose to play, Mes is suppose to be cute and not too timid, match with Ohm who play Tharn. GURLLLLL GURLLLLLL HE IS SO FUCKING CUTE AND SUCH A HEART THROBBING GUY. DAMN DAMNNNNN
The chemistry between these two is perfect! Tharn is playful but at the same time when he try to unravel the way Mes died is so sincere like he wants to know what is the real reason behind Mes's death. The plot somehow is perfect! From the beginning, it portrays how they met and soon, Tharn grows up to be a very very beautiful man *winkwonk*. I love it how there is only 2-3 kiss scene? The series teases a little bit with the audience and it's just a right amount of teasing. It's enough to makes us wonder and interest us to watch it more.
The closure is good. We know what happened to Khiem, Prince, Tharn, Mes and Praifah. The plot twist is damn son. I never expect that Mes was Praifah's uncle. SHIT SHIT SHIT. Anyway, i like it when Khiem can see Ngoon. LMAO its his turn to help her now. HAHAHAHAHAH and slight slack in the ending for Tharn X Mes. I wish Tharn meet Mes in human form instead of still be with him while he is a ghost. Like that way, they could get married right? okno ahahahahha but really. Later or sooner, Tharn have to say goodbye to Mes too its just that he have to wait until Mes's present life to end. DAMN.
P/S: FUCKING WATCH THIS. Im gonna rewatch this next year. Damn Ohm. How can you be so hot and good at acting. This is illegal. anyway, i used to not like Singto because i think he is lack in acting but boyyyyy I AM WRONG!

This series, by far, has made me cry the most out of any other series with only its 8 episodes. Ohm and Singto's acting were just so perfect that when they cried, I cried. The scene that made me cry the most was when Ohm was conversing with his mom and telling her... well, you know (minor spoiler). I myself have also had the same situation so I know exactly how it felt. Ohm's acting in that scene was just so realistic and so relatable that I just couldn't fight back myself from crying. Even though some of the scenes are very sad, there are just the right amount of sprinkles of comedic relief after the scenes that really made me laugh and be happy again from getting sad emotions. The thing that makes this series unique from many other Thai BLs (plz don't attack me if I'm wrong) is that both Than and Mes are gay and not bisexual. This would mainly attack the BL concept of, "I don't like any other guys, I only like you." This really just doesn't sit well with me (>>OPINION<<). The relationship of Than and Mes is that both of them has had only one relationship (Correct me if I'm wrong). I really just don't like it when any of the main roles in BLs has had many relationships (unpopular opinion) because it feels like it doesn't make the relationship feel special. I understand that it's like, "I've dated many, but none of them have worked out for me in my life until I met you," concept, but I really prefer the, "You are my first love and my love forever," or, "I've dated only once to see if I like girls and when I met you, I realize you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with," (once again, unpopular opinion).
The main plot of the story is so fascinating and so captivating, I was super impressed with how they managed to make the whole thing play out so well. The thing about the very first scene with Singto was just so indescribably sad. The way it starts out with music, him being at peace, and then an abrupt drastic change of the mood that partly explains how he became a ghost. I also can't count how many times I got goosebumps from this whole series because of just how beautiful everything was. The use of special effects was definitely a very big factor in what got me so intruiged that I don't see very commonly used in BLs (probably cuz I haven't really found many of them). Can we take a minute to just think of how precious Ohm and Singto's smiles are? Especially the fact that Singto has those cute dimples that really compliment the look of his smile.
Going on to the rewatch value of the series, the series is so worth rewatching. Many of the scenes just make you wanna rewatch it again and again because of how happy or sad they make you feel. Rewatching sad scenes is fun (in my opinion) because it's nice to test if you can handle the amount of sadness that hits you for the 2nd time (I'm weird like that oop). There is a slight problem however though. It is the fact that the series is in the mystery genre, so once you watch it, you would already know what comes next or why a scene was placed as it is. Rewatching the series for the 2nd time does piece together some parts that you miss however though.
Overall, everything was just perfect and I really wished that there were a few more episodes, but that would just make me greedy because the end was already such a good end. It was only the fact that it leaves the watchers dying to know how their story together continues on. What happens when Mes' 3rd requirement is fulfilled? (you'll know what the "3rd requirement" is if you've watched it). Questions from the seriea that you have no idea if they'll ever be answered will remain in the heart.

I fell in love with this story. I love the script and the execution. It's a very well directed series.
We start with a very light hearted story of a dead young man that has no idea why he didn't reincarnated while he idly spends his days with his two (hilarious) ghost friends on the cemetery. His days are very boring and basically one day is no different from the other as no-one ever visits him.... not until one day around 12 years later when a cute boy decide to burn the incense and gift some sweets to him. The boy visits him every year and Mes has this weird feeling that the boy actually can see and hear him...
Even if they met early on we need to wait a few years for their story to really start.
Their story is so beautiful... Together they learn what true emotions are and they grow as "humans" together, while motivating each others development. As the plot progress so do their feelings. What we see in this series are pure emotions, there is not much of the physical aspect (Mes is a ghost and so he can't really touch Thun) but Ladies and Gentlemen do not be turned off by this, there is still a few moments of closeness that will make you cry sweet tears and will melt your hearts!
This beautiful romantic relationship is accompanied by the mystery of Mes's death which is another main plot to this drama. There is so many questions along the way but we need to be patient as everything will be answered with time.
Music is a big part of this series and we're not talking about typical cheerful bl soundtrack wit a hint of melo, what we have here are beautiful songs with a meaningful lyrics. I plan to download this songs!!!!
As a gratis to this package we have Thun's friends. I love their relationships and how they love and support each other while being true to themselves. We love 3 dimensional characters! They have some problems and a few arguments but they can fix them well.
I saw some people saying there's no chemistry between Thun and Mes and I can't agree with this statement. I think that their opinion was formed because of the lack of physicality (and yes closeness is a very important part of the relationship!) and even I sometimes was like "I wish they could hold hands" or "oh I want them to sleep while hugging" etc. but unfortunately it's impossible in that case. But the way they smile or look at each other is veryyyyyy satisfying for my love cravings!!!
The only part that I am not fully satisfied is the ending. Which is good don't misunderstand me! (I love HE!!!!) I just had a secret hope that fate somehow will be able to change fake to real.... I had a few ideas but I won't say as I don't want to spoil the ending too much <3

The story was new and fresh to me as it was ghost x humans etc. Personally I enjoyed this theme so very much and it was interesting, never bored me, it made me tense up for wanting more and for what was next as I asked myself possible reasons or outcomes for the main conflict.
The characters were literally morphed into the story and they made the story themselves as a whole because it wouldn’t be it, if even a single character was missing. The chemistry, familiarity was strong with the two main Characters. They knew what they were doing and how to capture their roles, of Lovers who couldn’t be. The feelings and emotions they portrayed were very real nothing seemed fake it was so realistic even though it wasn’t realistic per say, (if you believe in the otherworldly and stuff) but, nonetheless the fact that they made it feel like everything.happening in this drama was realistic should tell you how well it was.
The ending was the cherry on top of the beautiful molded cake, to be finished and made a whole beautiful cake, without the cherry it’d be an unfinished cake, and I’m glad that it was done the way it was, happy endings usually are not done with these type of bl dramas and romances stuff, but I would just be so broken if it didn’t end on a good note, and it really much did.
Thank you for this drama and thank you for reading, I hope you bless your soul with this drama and take home the beautiful and at the same time, painful/scary message it offers. <3

The music didn't particularly catch my attention but it was lovely and fit the show.
And finally, I don't think I'll ever rewatch this show but I could if I had time lol. But it was a fun ride, a sweet short story that made me excited for Ohm's next dramas!

A wonderful series worth watching again. I watched the eight episodes on one day and I don't regret it. I was spellbound and still am. The actors were great - especially Singto, whom I love since Sotus. I felt the pain and understood his thoughts and actions. I loved the support characters, especially Khiem. The twists in the story were at least a little bit predictable, but that's nothing which could harm the great story writing and acting. Everything that happened in this series fit perfectly.The ending, which is definitely a happy ending, is for me a little bit sad. I can't stop thinking about their future: How will they live? Than can see him, talk to him, feel him; but he's the only one. He can't live with him like a normal human being, which brings me to the next question I'm asking myself: How will they handle their life? Mes will watch Than aging, getting older than him, graduating, getting a job, live. In the end, Mes will watch Than die, and that's the thing which forced me to cry for mostly an hour straight after finishing the last episode. I can't get over this relationship which is doomed to fail. But at least I think, that's the best ending which could happen. At least they can be together, even if they can't live together.

Story is also really cohesive. There are some easter eggs which lead to revelations later in the story. There are some loopholes, but they are forgivable.
Lastly, there were two Harry Potter references to this. As a major fan of HP, I am really glad. Maybe one fo the writers is an HP fan?
I would recommend everyone to include this in their watch list. The premise might be light but it is well worth your time to watch.
