TharnType

This series normalizes forced sexual intercourse.

Strange country Thailand where a person instigates a gang rape against a minor, is discovered, there is evidence and instead of calling the police, reporting him and having him arrested, they leave him crying in the middle of the street. Same thing for the elder brother of the protagonist, he introduces his minor brother to a friend asking him to take care of him for serious family reasons and he rapes him, because having sex with a minor even if consenting is rape beautiful people for the law and the ethical sense of sane people there are not two opinions, but the elder brother instead of breaking the face of his "friend", denounce him and send him to jail continues to attend him peacefully and also invite him to lunch at the family home. Not to mention the times that the supone protagonist straight or bisexual tells the other that he doesn't want you to touch him and that he continues unscrupulously to do what he likes. In Thailand it seems that they still don't know that when a man or a woman says NO it means NO and you have to stop. This series normalizes forced sexual intercourse in a terrible way, it's garbage, violence and abuse from start to finish.

Dreadful actually

So, I watched it because it's THE Bl, you know. You gotta watch it to understand why people love it or why they hate it.

While I did enjoy ep 1 enough, I could not for the love of god enjoy the rest. TharnType are assholes and they deserve each other lol. Admittedly, they do have crazy chemistry. When they are not assholes to each other and being couply, they actually are quite cute. That's why I really enjoyed their special ep which was mostly fluff.

The acting is alright I guess. The characters are hella infuriating, you just wanna slap them all the damn time. Except for Techno, the only guy with a braincell.

Everything and everyone is pretty dramatic and toxic, lots of people love that (as you can see), but it's not for me. I probably won't watch S2 either.

Major regret.

Lhong should be In jail. Tharn was in no position to forgive Lhong as he wasn’t the victim of the traumatic crime.He basically said what Lhong did was fine because his childhood was rough… (normal people get therapy not organise a gang rape).
Tharns character had so many issues first being the fact he had no compassion for Types trauma and just decided the best way of dealing with it was to basically force him until he likes it. The second was that he sexually takes advantage of Type in the first couple episodes.

These types of themes shouldn’t be brushed aside or taken lightly , the people that make shows like these should be held accountable, it’s honestly sickening.

OVERRATED

I dont understand the hype about this series tbh. Everyone overlooked the amount of toxicity in the characters.

Type's character was so toxic, i understand he has his reason and he has trauma but using his trauma as a reason to be an asshole is not it.

And BJ was totally non-consensual,, the sex scenes in general felt forced. Tharn took advantage of type every night even though he knew about type's past abuse.

Tharn's Character is also a big red flag. He is so possessive and that amount of possessiveness can never make a healthy relationship. Forcing himself on type because he saw the other flirting girls? Red Flag.
And honestly, Long's behavior should've been punishable, he should've been reported,, i don't get why they justified him.

Sorry if it offended anyone who loves this series. This is just not for me.

2nd review of this toxic drama

Okay, when I first wrote about Tharn/Type, I gave it 10s across the board. I know now that this was because I never really watched this show with an "adult" eye. Having read some of the reviews (positive & negative) and then re-watching the show, I've revised my opinion.

I give the acting for this show a 10 due to the ACTORS, not their characters. The actors portraying their characters were very good. I even like the acting of Kittipat Kaewcharoen (Kaownah) who played the antagonist Lhong. All played their parts well despite the very difficult plot.

However, the plot was very toxic for Tharn & Type (and Lhong, too). The fact of Type's being raped by a man as a child is totally glossed over, the fact that Tharn kisses and touches Type while he is asleep and without Type's consent, that despite his childhood trauma Type still allows Tharn to give him a bj and then as a "thank you" and to "do it once and get it over with", Type becomes the "under" for Tharn - who said that this won't be just once, is DISGUSTING and ABHORRENT! How did Type "get over" his trauma so quickly without any type of therapy? Why didn't Tharn, who supposedly loves Type so much, use his care for Type to gently encourage and help Type deal with and heal from that trauma before trying to become Type's boyfriend? And why did Tharn, when he and Type officially became a couple, immediately take type out to a bar, KISS HIM IN PUBLIC and then get upset when Type got angry? Just because Tharn was comfortable with his sexuality (he'd had time and came out on his own terms) didn't mean Type could handle it and WANTED to announce that he had a boyfriend! Tharn was incredibly SELFISH to EXPECT Type to admit his feelings for Tharn.

And the very toxic Lhong and how he manipulated Tharn and assaulted and almost murdered Type because he (Lhong) thought that he DESERVED Tharn as a boyfriend as he'd been Tharn's "friend" for years. He gets NO jail time or time in a psychiatric hospital? He's not punished at all? WHY did Tharn's own BROTHER treat Lhong with no anger whatsoever, and wish Lhong all the best?!

All in all, this drama was NOT a good BL, nor a good DRAMA, at all, not because the acting was not good, but because of the awful script and awful direction. So I've revised my "10" review down to 3.0 - and I don't recommend anyone watch this.

Yes but No

I want to start by saying it was absolutely not the worst series I ever watched, but omg was it mid or even bad.
I have a lot of reasons for saying it, but let's start with some things I actually liked about this series.

Actors/acting was good, and I'm not only talking about main characters but side characters as well, there were few people I did enjoy seeing.
I also really liked the story, while I do think there was much more better ways they could've done it the idea was good, and I would love and see someone try to make something similar.
Chemistry between Gulf and Mew was there, it was nice and while I wasn't too much over the moon for it, I still found it enjoyable to watch these two to interact. I do have to say tho in my personal humble opinion Tharn and Type should've not ended up together. Because honestly, I cannot imagine a single good reason why any of them would want to be with another.

Tharn is just a spineless guy with no self-respect or dignity, who also has no concept of consent. He forgave Type multiple times without even him apologising for what he did first. Throughout the whole series I just wanted to grab Tharn by his shoulders, shake him and say “WAKE UP” because the way he would never stand up for himself when it came to Type is diabolical.
Also, the fact that he sexually assaulted Type not once is crazy and often overlooked by TharnType fans, but definitely shouldn't be. It was clearly shown multiple times how he would kiss Type while he is sleeping, gave him hickeys while he was drunk and blacked out, and the shower scene? Like let's not ignore it and instead of calling it cute, hot or sexy let's call it what it is, a sexual assault.

Type is a toxic asshole who doesn't respect a single person around him. While I know that Type has trauma, it absolutely doesn't excuse his behaviour towards people around him, people who care and love him. He disrespected and physically assaulted multiple people who absolutely did not deserved it and wouldn't apologise unless he gets some kind of “punishment” for doing so. And the way everybody around him act like it's normal is insane to me. It's important to acknowledge his traumatic experience, but let's not try to excuse his behaviour just because of something like this.

And while I'm talking about traumatic experience, I want to talk about Tar. I've seen multiple people say how tar was annoying, stupid and stuff like this. I want to start by saying that victim-blaming is a terrible thing, and y'all doing it is just disgusting.
There wasn't a single thing that he did that would make him as bad as y'all trying to paint him to be. Throughout his whole story, I was just feeling so sorry for him, and he absolutely did nothing to deserve what happened to him.
He was so scared, traumatised and broken I cannot imagine blaming him for anything at all, all the “bad” things that he did were just a Lhong's disgusting plan, and he is the only one to blame here.

Now for the Lhong and oh do I have a thing or two to talk about. First off, the fact that he didn't get any jail time or ANY repercussions for that matter is CRAZY to me. He was so disgusting, everything about him made my skin crawl. He is not just a bad guy he is a devil himself, and there are still people trying to defend him saying he was misunderstood, he is so UNDERhated.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, could excuse his behaviour, the things he did are literally illegal. Sabotaging all of the Tharns relationship, paying three man to gang-rape a high-schooler (Tar), and then also blackmailing the same boy and pressuring him into doing things he was not comfortable with to break Tharn and Type up.
He is the worst of the worst, he is a terrible human being and all that he deserves is a jail time!!!

Honestly, there is so much more bad people in this series, since most of the characters were kinda good until they did something crazy and made my opinion about them fully change. But there were also characters that I liked, but they are not worth mentioning except for the one character that I liked the most, and it's Techno. Techno would always add this nice and comedic feel to the series when needed the most, as well as being a great supportive friend and trying to help Type with anything he could. There was one thing that made me a bit uncomfortable is when he really would not believe Tar even when he has seen a proof, and tried to tell Type that as well. But other than that, I would say that he is my favourite character.


In conclusion, I am kinda happy that I watched this series, since I wanted to give it a try all the way from 2019. I first tried watching it back then when it was just coming out, but it was too much for me, so I dropped it. But I am happy that I came back, but I am even happier that I finally finished it.
I did enjoy it to some degree, but of course all of the red flags were really hard to close my eyes on and just try to push through.
I do think though that this series is overrated, and it is really toxic, so for anybody to enjoy it at least a little, you need to be able to “ignore” a lot of stuff. Otherwise, it is definitely unenjoyable to watch.

This show is sending some seriously unhealthy messages

I'm fairly new to BL but was hooked from the beginning by Wish You, SOTUS and 2gether (#teamtine #brightwin4ever). TharnType came up on a lot of recommended lists, so I was a little shocked and pretty concerned when I started watching.

The main characters relationship is seriously unhealthy. And I don't mean in the cute, coming to terms with my feelings normal drama. I mean when you force yourself on someone or physical abuse them in fits of anger and jealousy without it ever getting called out, that's a huge problem for me.

Violent, jealous, controlling people are not good partners. They are people who need some help because that's called abuse not love.

I am very disappointed if this is what passes unquestioned in the BL fan community. There are a lot of good romantic, funny series that are waiting to sweep us off our feet without having to glorify or normalize spousal abuse.

2019 make me realize that the word '' Don't Judge The Book By It's Cover " finally make sense to me. In the end of 2018, I watched GMM's 3 BL Project trailer ( which are as you already knew) and "He's coming to me" is the only series I intrested .And it didn't let me down. I also find and watched BL series trailer from other Channel and none of them make me find intresting or being attractive. Then ,I was wrong . What I wrong about is I looked down on 2moons 2 and this particularly one " TharnType " . You might hate me when I'm saying this , but I'd like to admit that "Love By Chance " is the "worth-to-watch-once" series. I did enjoy watching it but after the end of the show, there's nothing left in my mind. I didn't find myself being nostalgia although I though I might.( It's kinda my personal feeling that is if I like the series I watched, I'm too cling to it even after the show end and it remained in my mind thinking about how I liked that one at least for month).
No offense on not finding enjoying LBC after the end because it's only on my personal taste.I don't like the story that is being forced to frame and too much fan servicing (eg. too many shirtless scene even though it's not adult scenes, too many scenes that faces of both protagonists are too close enough to kiss but they didn't... meh, I'm not saying this because I want to kiss them but I feel these scenes are not needed and too many drama when it's not necessary..etc and many more) .

Sorry for long intro. This is where my actual review start. Or calling as ' Recommendation article ' may be fit more to my review . LBC has the most of I described ones as above. This TharnType series has them too but storyline, chemistry between two main actors ( overall acting too, I won't judge them in detail because they're not oscar winner.There're some point in acting that I find myself awkward watching), director's direction make me fall onto it. But I have to say that the first 3 or may be 4 episodes make me bored and mehh.. it's too fanciful and unrealistic. I'll say in separated part.

Firstly, for the director, I found that this director is the new one. So, I'll compliment him. Everybody have their requirements. He has requirements too but he could delivered the mains necessity of the series(I hope I'm using right terms). It's the thing I found in this series and "He's coming the series". You'll know what I meant by necessity if your most favorite series are like mine and has a same opinion in LBC ( I'm not shading LBC , I'm only comparing to be conspicuous what I'm saying.I enjoy watching all BL series and of course LBC too). I think I'll follow his projects in future.

Second, the storyline, I'd say good word. I think may be better than LBC? I'll follow the work of this original story's author too.But there's something I'd like to point out as in EP 1 -5. Developing story base and charactor is a bit weak but later storyline make me forget about it. It may be I'm too obesess with BL series . I see some people dropped watching this series because of it. I'd like to push you to watch more episode and you be starting to like. As for the plot and script, I won't or can't judge as it's not my native language. I feel awkward toward some plot too but this may be because of different country and culture. I think I'll pass this part.

Third, music segment, sadly this series OST is being normal. Worth enjoy listening but I think it' s too simple.I enjoy Untill we meet again OST more. Anyway, I like this OST too. I won't judge much too 'cause of different culture again. Judging sound syetem is not my thing. I'm not professional reviewer as I only love to say things about my favourite movies and series.

Last but not least, the actors, I remark as they did their best with their competency. I'm complimenting them because I feel guilty that I severely judged them in first teaser trailer. I did not even look forward to next full trailer. Yes..to that extend. But I tried to watch when the series started to show becase watching BL series is my entertainment (obviously) ...and here they are, they did more than I though. Thumbs up for them. Clap for Mew as I kinda like him only in this Tharn Charactor. Not in What The Duck. No offense and sorry, may be WTD is not my thing. Others actors are normal. Tar's not bad except only when he made that scared little face or whatever. TAM is just..Not Ok.
As concluded , I won't try to say much, only wanna say just try this. Even though it's 18+ series full of rude swear words , there's still something in deeper, meaning and passion. Thumbs up again for the whole crew and heart reaction to the " TharnType The Series " . I planed to write review after the series end. But I wrote it now as I heard next week won't be final EP showing week. I wrote this because I believe and hope the ending won't let me down.

It is a good show. The most notable thing is the chemistry between the main actors, it's through the roof! not to mention the acting is great! The storyline is definitely interesting and tackles a few interesting topics that i haven't seen in other BL like internalized homophobia. the thing is, idk what was up with the writers in the first few episodes with extremely uncomfortable scenes (w/o spoiling but a scene in the first episode specifically) that you kind of have to just get through to get to the good parts of the show. I would definitely say that it gets better after episode 3. you definitely learn to hate and love each character in their own way, i like how they humanize them and some issues mentioned in the show are more serious than some other shows are. I would recommend the show because of the interesting storyline, funny & interesting side storylines (they don't spend too much time on the side storylines which I personally like), but most of all i would watch just to see the chemistry between the main actors.
