Hey, everyone! How’s it going? Today I’m here to review the drama The Ex-Morning, which delivers a long-awaited reunion between beloved BL stars Krist and Singto in a story about professional redemption, personal growth, and the complicated dynamics of working with your ex.
The Ex-Morning premiered on May 22, 2025, airing every Thursday at 8:30 PM on GMM25, with episodes also available on GMMTV’s YouTube channel and Viu at 10:30 PM the same night. This Thai BL romantic drama features 12 episodes with approximately 50 minutes each. Directed by Lit Phadung and produced by GMMTV, the series stars Krist Perawat Sangpotirat and Singto Prachaya Ruangroj, alongside Jamie Juthapich Indrajundra and Earn Preeyaphat Lawsuwansiri.
What makes The Ex-Morning particularly significant is that it marks the long-awaited reunion of KristSingto after seven years apart, bringing together the pair who helped popularize the BL genre with SOTUS in 2016. The series explores themes of professional second chances, personal accountability, and whether love can survive public scrutiny and career pressures. Set against the backdrop of Thailand’s competitive broadcasting industry, the drama promises both workplace tension and romantic reconciliation.
Pathaphi’s Fall From Grace in the Broadcasting World
The Ex-Morning centers on Pathaphi (Krist Perawat Sangpotirat), a once-successful broadcaster whose career takes a devastating hit following a public scandal that leads to his demotion. Krist brings both vulnerability and determination to a character who must confront the consequences of his actions while fighting to rebuild his professional reputation. Pathaphi represents anyone who’s experienced a very public failure and must find the strength to start over.
The series doesn’t shy away from exploring the real impact of cancel culture and public shaming in the digital age. Pathaphi’s journey from the heights of broadcasting success to professional exile provides both dramatic tension and opportunities for genuine character growth. His struggle to regain credibility while dealing with personal humiliation creates a compelling protagonist whose redemption arc feels earned rather than given.
Tamtawan: The Ex Who Holds the Key to Redemption
Singto Prachaya Ruangroj portrays Tamtawan, Pathaphi’s ex-boyfriend who finds himself in the impossible position of being assigned to help rebuild his former lover’s tattered reputation. The casting of Singto opposite Krist again creates immediate chemistry while adding layers of personal history that complicate their professional relationship. Tamtawan must navigate his own feelings while maintaining professional boundaries in a situation that’s anything but professional.
The dynamic between Tamtawan and Pathaphi forms the emotional core of The Ex-Morning, exploring whether trust can be rebuilt after both personal and professional betrayals. Singto’s performance captures the conflict between wanting to help someone you once loved and protecting yourself from further emotional damage. Their scenes together crackle with the tension of unresolved feelings and professional obligation.
When Professional Duty Conflicts With Personal History
The central tension of The Ex-Morning revolves around whether Tamtawan can successfully help Pathaphi without reigniting their romantic connection, and whether Pathaphi can accept help from the person he hurt most. The series builds toward moments where their professional collaboration forces them to confront the reasons their relationship ended and whether those issues can be resolved. The workplace setting adds complexity by making their personal drama public.
The broadcasting industry backdrop provides both opportunities for high-stakes drama and moments of levity as Pathaphi navigates his new reality. The series uses the world of television production to explore themes of image versus reality, public perception versus private truth, and the price of fame in an interconnected world where mistakes can go viral instantly.
Supporting Characters Who Navigate the Media Landscape
Jamie Juthapich Indrajundra and Earn Preeyaphat Lawsuwansiri round out the main cast with performances that add both workplace dynamics and external perspective to the central relationship. The supporting characters in The Ex-Morning help create a believable television industry environment while providing commentary on the main characters’ choices and growth.
The series benefits from GMMTV’s strong production values and ensemble casting, creating a world that feels authentic to Thailand’s media landscape. Each supporting character serves specific functions in either advancing the workplace storyline or providing insight into how public scandals affect not just the individuals involved but their entire professional community.
