How to Hate My Ex – Complete Series Review: Exes, Banter & Beach Drama

Exes. Resorts. Jealousy. A fake couple package. What could possibly go wrong?

How to Hate My Ex is a bite-sized mini-series from the H’our Channel that delivers a surprisingly sweet and cheeky ride through the emotional messiness of love lost—and maybe found again. It’s a classic “will-they-won’t-they” sapphic setup: two exes accidentally book themselves into the same beach resort package they purchased back when they were still together. Spoiler: neither backs out. Cue the awkward glances, forced proximity, and plenty of petty behavior.

And honestly? We were seated.

Namkhing and Key walk side by side along the beach, deep in conversation with clear tension in the air—close enough to show there’s still something between them.

🌟 What Worked: Bitterness, Banter, and Beach Dates

Let’s give credit where credit is due—the two leads really sold the ex energy. One’s clearly still salty, while the other just has no clue how to express her feelings. It's messy in the best way. The chemistry isn’t blazing, but it is believable, and for a micro-series like this, that’s a win.

We especially loved:

• Their hilarious “fake couple” act to score those resort perks. #FreeDrinksPlease

• The jealous tension when a rando tends to Namkhing’s injury and Key’s all 👀

• A few surprisingly grounded lines about love, regret, and emotional closure.

The series may be short, but it still finds space for moments that feel genuine—something we appreciate in the growing #ThaiGL landscape.

🤏 What Could’ve Been Stronger: Intimacy and Closure, Please!

Look, we say it often because it matters—emotional payoffs need physical authenticity. If you’re going to give us a reunion, then give us the reunion. A kiss should mean something. And when that kiss is supposed to carry all the weight of heartbreak, healing, and hope? It has to deliver.

Here, the final kiss (while not bad) just doesn’t hit the “we got back together and we’re finally being honest” emotional crescendo. It’s not stiff, but it’s not #FreenBecky either. The fade-to-black ending? A little too premature. Let the moment breathe! Let us believe they’ve truly reconnected.

💬 Final Thoughts:

If you go in expecting a cute, fast-paced sapphic story with exes navigating old wounds in a beachy paradise, then How to Hate My Ex delivers. Just don’t expect sparks flying or tear-soaked declarations under the stars. It’s got charm, it’s got heart, but it’s a little shy on passion.

Worth the watch?

Absolutely.

Just set your expectations accordingly.
