Okay, I have a question for anyone that might know. I've read that Tharn is supposed to be of mixed race, part American (I'm assuming that means Caucasian, although there are of course Asian Americans). To me, Tharn (Mew) doesn't look Caucasian at all, strictly Asian... and the actors playing his parents seems strictly Asian as well. So...
I've never posted a review until I've seen a series all the way through but, since it looks like the final episode will not be subbed (grrrrr!), I went ahead and posted in the reviews section.
Fyi--this is my personal opinion. If you take offense I can't help you with that. I have avoided watching the…
Agreed 100%! I'm still watching this series because, regardless of the ridiculousness of the story, I do think it's well produced and I really like the actors. But I've had to ignore the flaws in order to enjoy it. My biggest issue is with the author/writers.
If Type were simply a homophobic bigot, with no prior childhood assault, I would find the story believable and it still would have been sufficiently dramatic.
Or... let's keep Type's childhood rape story, but then treat it a bit more realistically... there is NO WAY that emotionally traumatized Type would have allowed Tharn to give him a BJ, and then shortly after ask Tharn to fuck him. Since the author went there, with the rape storyline, then it would have made sense for it to be about slowly bringing Type out of his fear and hatred of gays, with a physical relationship with Tharn happening in Episode 11 or 12 (if at all).
This story is offensive to real victims of childhood rape, and that is my biggest fault with it.
I get it... the sex scenes are hot and viewers get turned on by the skinship, so that seems to make it all okay. But the storyline doesn't support it at all.
Hey guys, this is my first comment/review ever on this site. Here are my thoughts on tharntype the series so far:…
Regarding Tar and Tharn... unless I'm going nuts (which is always a possibility, lol), I thought I saw an earlier scene where a friend asked Tharn why Tum didn't like him (Tharn), and Tharn said that he'd had a relationship with Tum's brother, that didn't end well. If I got it right, that would be the lead up to the Tharn/Tar storyline.
I'm loving the series! But am I the only one that isn't buying that Tharn is supposed to have just turned 19???
I would have guessed Tharn (Mew) as being about 26... and it turns out he's 28 in real life. I can believe that. While Type (Gulf), irl, is 21... which looks exactly right to me.
Don't get me wrong... I think Mew is an extremely hot, sexy 28 year old! He just doesn't pull off 19.
Gotta be stronger, suicide is never the right way and an insult to your parents and ancestors. If life sucks that…
At the end of the day, we have to live with ourselves... and some people have committed suicide BECAUSE of their parents. (I'm not saying that was the case here.) I think we should feel compassion for the hell she must have been going through.
LOVED the latest episode! So we've got five episodes left... I'm thinking Non is really going to start making trouble, lol. This is just a guess, but maybe he's going to "out" Kao to his mom... except I'm pretty sure she already knows. And the Sun/Mork story is really starting to develop. I'm looking forward to what's next!
I was going to say it's the best episode (couse i watch only Mork and Sun parts) but than again they didn't gave…
I haven't seen the episode yet, but remember that they are filmed in advance of what we see. Pete/Kao are the stars of the show (and most people initially tuned in to see them) so, of course, they are going to get more air time. The producers didn't know that Sun/Mork were going to be so popular with the fans. (I still love Pete/Kao, though.)
I watched as much as I could (meaning, through Ep. 12 -- after that the subs stopped). It was okay, probably I'd not watch again. I wasn't that into the main couple and I found Parfun annoying. And Kavin is just a jerk. But I loved Sis Pussy and her two co-workers, they were my favorite part of the series! Plod was sweet and one of the better actors, I thought.
Is Mew part American?
