Flawed Characters, Toxic Love – Still, I Watched It All
Okay, I know I’m super late to the party with TharnType, but I finally watched it and I’ve got thoughts. 😅
First off, this show is definitely a rollercoaster. The concept itself is interesting: a homophobic guy who eventually falls in love with an openly gay. That’s a bold direction, and honestly, it made the series compelling right from the start. Watching Type slowly break down his walls and question his own beliefs and feelings was both frustrating and fascinating.
That said… this series is toxic, no sugarcoating it. It deals with some seriously heavy topics like rape, pedophilia, and sexual harassment, and it's not always handled in the best or most responsible way. I can totally understand why it stirred up a lot of mixed reactions.
In the beginning, I found Tharn’s character super likable, especially the way he stood up for himself. But as the episodes went on, he started to frustrate me. Like… why are you suddenly backing down so much with Type? It felt like his strength kinda disappeared at times. But maybe that’s exactly what the writers were going for, showing how messy and complicated love can get, especially when one partner has deep-rooted trauma.
Type’s behavior was annoying, I won’t lie, but I also get where it’s coming from. His childhood trauma clearly shaped his fear and prejudice, and even though I didn’t always agree with how he acted, it added depth to his character. He also seems to confuse pedophilia with homosexuality, which is a harmful mindset but sadly still exists in real life, so it’s an uncomfortable but realistic layer.
Despite all that, I was engaged all the way through. It’s rare to see a BL that dives into such dark, complicated issues, and for that alone, it stands out. It’s messy, it’s flawed, but it definitely got me thinking and feeling.
