Y'ALL THINK IT'S “HE'S COMING TO ME wannabe”, NAH, IN A GOOD WAY!!!!!

This series is imperfect but really touches with the values or essence of life and death. This underrated title gave me sobs and teary eyes. I can say it brought a lot of He's Coming to Me memories all throughout but hear me out. This is not trying to be like that series, it instead touches a different ground. The plot might not be unique but is rather compelling and concise. Figuring the plot out is as simple that you don't need to venture the rocky terrains of your brain to think what's going on. The beginning of the series seemed similar to He's Coming to Me but as it progresses, the tension and plot twists show up precisely. It's not like they're giving you many episodes with nothing's changing or going on instead they reveal each plot twist and tension along the way.

The writing and the direction of this series is outstanding because it's not really trying hard to be an amazing series, rather they're keeping it simple and clear which really worked as it should.

I applaud the main couple NutPlan, especially Nut being more expressive of emotions unlike his past series Oxygen. We can how he stepped up in terms of acting and how well he portrayed Phob. Plan is, rather an applaudable actor too especially because I think this is his debut series being a main lead. Plan really portrayed his character really well too. The main lead really worked and their chemistry is great. When it comes to the other cast I think I like Took (Phat's mother) here than I did as the hypocrite mother from My Tee Series. Here, she really did well. The girl (Dream), I think in this series, is needed as Phob can't really go in a spiritual ritual by himself alone. I really like her character. There's nothing really special about her but she fit in. Her boyfriend, nah, he's jealous and fishy though he's understanding but Dream is better off single, so that's that. The actor who portrayed as Dream's bf is bland I guess. He's like emotionless throughout the series so he's the least likeable characters there. Green's character (Phob's ex) is, I really can't help but think, he's suspicious. I always thought he have something up in his sleeve like he's the bad guy in the series but glad I'm wrong. The clairvoyant/rental house owner lady is like Green's character. Those two characters made me hesitate to trust them. They're like villainy but not-so or the other way around, especially when she set up cameras in the house to watch Phob and her mother to be freaked out by Phob.

I enjoy the series with the number of revelations shown in the series such as the enigmatic lady being the daughter of the so-called guardian spirit of Phob, Phob's suicide, the affair of Phob's father and the lady I mentioned before. It was really built well concise and straightforward. We also learned that Phob's mother was terminally ill and in the footage she begged Phob to let her rest in peace which made me realize that Phob's father did not really pull her life support, therefore he's innocent.

I really love how it all went down to forgiveness and acceptance that in reality nothing stays forever but the memories and our love towards our loved ones. I thought they will emulate the ending of either Peach of Time or He's Coming to Me but nah. I really love that Phat got old and is also terminally ill after her mother died. When he died he finally met Phob waiting for him so they can join each other in the afterlife. It's bittersweet but that's reality. Nothing stays even ourselves eventually we will die. It's just that keeping precious moments with the people you love.

I really commend the people behind this underrated gem. I strongly recommend this such an underrated treasure out there.
