TharnType: A série (2019)

The Best Thai BL Series!!

So where should I start?
This series is amazing! I never watch any BL series before, and a few weeks ago, all of sudden one MewGulf video appears on my YouTube recommendation. They look so handsome so I watch the video, and I ended up falling in love with both of them. That day I started to watch TharnType The Series, and finished all of the episodes in 2 days only!

The chemistry between Mew and Gulf is really amazing. Their acting is great, and I love all the sweet scenes because they look so real. I couldn’t imagine if other actors play as Tharn and Type, because Mew and Gulf really fit to the role. The love scenes also look so natural, not awkward at all. The sad scenes are able to make me crying, especially the scene when Tharn kneeling and beg Type not to break up with him. So sad! Mew is a very good actor, and he speaks with his eyes. Gulf also really good, especially this series is his first BL series. They both did very well!

The story is good, about how Type is a homophobic (with a reason), and ended up having a roommate who’s gay. I like that eventhough he hates Tharn at first, Type ended up falling in love with him. Tharn can bring comforts to Type, help him to forget his past and always showering Type with love. Type in the other hand, hurts Tharn several times (even hits him multiple times), but each episodes showing his character development, he gets better in the end. Type even showing his sweet side to Tharn (aawww). Type is probably straight, because he said that he will never able to sleep with other man (only Tharn). I like that in the end, Type is not homophobic anymore and start to showing to people that he is in a relationship with Tharn.

The music is good. Every scenes has a good background music. The opening song is really good, and the song that Tharn sing for Type in the last episode also very good.

I will definitely keep rewatching this series. I watched it multiple times now, but I never get bored at all. Me once again want to praise Mew and Gulf for their chemistry and acting. I’m not sure that this series will be as popular as now if other actors play as Tharn and Type. Me as an example, I love MewGulf more than TharnType. If MewGulf has a series, I will definitely choose it rather than TharnType. The production team and the writer are lucky to have them as Tharn and Type.

This series is very recommended!

Lot of issues with the story

This will be one of the unpopular opinion but here it goes:
The relationship started between TharnType starts with un-consented sexual advances from Tharn and no apologies from Tharn about it, Type punches and kicks Tharn (he does not apologize about that either), Type's language is hurtful and even after knowing he never changes his ways about that, P'San took advantage of Tharn when he was young and underage and he is still in touch with his family which is exactly what happens in abusive relationship, Lhong sends people to rape Tar but he wasn't punished, Tar's step-brother forced himself on Tar and the list of issues with the story goes on and on and on. They should add trigger warning for the episodes.
Somehow they show it is okay that even if your words are really hurtful, you use violence like kicking and punching to your boyfriends stomach it is okay, you make homophobic comments but do not apologize for it and that is okay and so on. It really sends out bad message.

Things I liked about show: It doesn't follow the usual cliche which is shown that in gay relationships one person needs to have feminine characteristic. Even though Type "fake"s break up and did not communicate the issue with Tharn, at least he had trust in the relationship and did not just "believe" whatever he sees. He analyses and trusts his boyfriend enough. There was some character development from Type and if special episode was combined here then it would have been better and I would have rated 1 point extra haha.. The acting is really good, when there was consented kisses: the chemistry between the leads was really good, OST was nice too.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it. I know that all BL's have flaws, but this show had some flaws that I don't agree with and that's why I don't see this as 'the best BL ever made. '

I was with everyone, loving this series up till about episode 9 or 10 (I really can't remember). However, I just stopped watching it, due to a preview of the following episode. This was when Type went into Tharn's phone, while he was sleeping. This was a big no from me. Type should have learned to respect Tharn's privacy as they were boyfriends. I know that he had his reasons, but that still was an invasion of privacy. I am sure Tharn would have told him eventually. After that, it took me awhile to resume watched this series as I was ot really motivated. But I watched it till the end, cause I thought maybe somethng may change my mind and maybe I may fall in love with this series. That was not the case.

The first time I watched THAT scene (the bathroom) , I was like...wow. However, when I stopped watching this series, I sat down and thought 'there was really no consent with the bathroom scene'. Yeah, Tharn felt guilty after he did it, but it wasn't consent. Yes Type didn't tell him to stop, but he also didn't tell him to continue with it. That was a major flaw for me.

The only reason I see why people loved this series is because of Tharn and Type and maybe some of their friends. However they seriously can't like it for Thorn's character. He did very horrible things and he basically got away with it. No justice was given to Tar. Thorn literally sent people to r$%e this boy! And people are okay wth this!? I'm sorry, but not me. Thorn should have been sent to jail for what he did! Tar deserved closure from what happened to him. For this, I really couldn't rate this show higher than 6.5. The acting and some of the storyline is why I marked this show as high as I did.

Also, kudos for it in getting a second season. I MAY watch it, but for now, who really knows?

when i first came accross this drama, i had not much expectations for it, but decided to watch it because of its good reviews. but after watching i drama, i can definitely say that this is one of the best dramas i have ever watched, and i binge watched this in 2 days. this drama is honestly so good and it will make you laugh, cry, feel happy, and all kinds of emotions. though this might not be one of those light hearted dramas, there would be so many cute and sweet moments between the leads that will melt your heart and make you smile. the leads did a very good job in portraying the characters, and the chemistry between them is one of a kind. they are literally the couple with the most chemistry ive ever seen, which makes this drama even better. for whose who havent watched this drama, or are comtemplating whether to give this drama a try or not, i would absolutely recommed this drama to you. i would give this drama 100/10 if i could, as it is really very good drama. and i would definitely rewatch this drama since i already started watching it for third time.

ALL ROUND CHEAP

I dont understand why people are going crazy over this show, maybe they got bad taste or something ( my sister included ). I went into this show with such HIGH expectations since there has been so much fangirling going on about it. BOY, was I let down! Tharn especially annoys the heck out of me. I wanted to b#$@h slap him real bad into talking a bit faster since he talks so irritatingly slow and his line delivery sucks!

The only parts of the show that is deserving of a 9 star are the steamy scenes. I got to hand it to the actors in that aspect, they sure are not awkward with each other under the bed covers!

worst represantation ever

just glorifies homophobia and sexual harassment. type commits hatecrimes and in return tharn r*pes him. tharn even tells type to report people to the police when they were offended after he called them slurs. tharns self hatred must really be off the charts, but then again he is represented as some sort of saint when he really just harasses type every chance he gets. i get why its popular, but pls this sets us back to like 20 years ago in terms of represantation. why not give shows that normalize mutual respect and consent a chance?
Some great recommendations: Not Me, Bad Buddy, Gaya Sa Pelicula and so much more!!!

Wow. The characters are relatable. The plot and execution was superb. We see how the characters grow . P'Mew and Gulf's chemistry was off the charts. It was so believable the process of change of mindset of Type his childhood trauma and eventually falling in love. Tharn the supportive boyfriend and most understanding person. This series made me feel their emotions be with them every step of the way. We laughed, we cried together. You don't have to wait for the declaration that the are dating you could feel these two are in a relationship and they're in love. The antagonists could not tear apart the strong bond of commitment between the main cast. Great BL can't wait for season 2. Believe me I've watched all Thai BL and this one I've rewatched this 4 times.

Accurate!

For me, Tharntype is one of the most accurate BL series that I have watched. I love their small gestures of sweetness and being clingy to one another. I have watched quite a lot of series and I can say that n nothing can beat Tharntype in terms of accuracy in terms of how a same-sex couple acts. The episodes are also not saturating to watch compared to other series. They have tried to mix in other elements also that made the series very interesting and a 'complete-plate'. And the plot twist, the plot twist! I was really in awe. I love how they have hidden the snake in the series and when you expect that everything is doing well boom! It exploded everywhere. For me, this is a god-tier series that the world deserves to watch. Although they have replaced every character from its parent-story (Love by Chance which is everyone also needs to see so that you will fully understand it's side stories), it still played well. I mean, Mild playing the character of Techno is everything. He is the ultimate example of a wingman to the protagonist. I also loved that they didn't replace Kengkla to play No's love interest.

Overall, Tharntype is a must watch, I just hope that someone will share their Vimeo account so that I can watch in HD its movie prequel (this is a shoutout actually :P) Although it's in youtube but I don't want to ruin my viewing pleasure by watching a 360p movie... hehe baka naman meron pong gustong magshare :)

This BL was so captivating from the very beginning. I didn't expect anything but gosh did it exceed expectations. The storyline was thought out and well-executed. I quite like angst so I got my fair share of that. And there were sweet moments which made me want to sob. I think it's such a well rounded BL and I would definitely recommend watching, and enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions.

I didn't know I was going to soften up to Type's character, but it happened gradually and it was so ... unintentional. I think that's the best thing about the show and acting. It flows well and there aren't weird breaks in-between the plot. There were a few cameos from other couples that I loved too, but I think the main couple's storyline remains to be the most captivating.

This might be the worst BL ever produced...

Not only is drama actually unbelievably homophobic, playing into heteronormative stereotypes and portraying gay people as inherently predatory unless they are basically just straight people who "happen to be gay just for this one particular guy," it also normalizes and makes light of themes such as rape, sexual assault, emotional and physical abuse, and gaslighting. Not to mention that the author of the original novel, who was also involved in the writing and production of this drama to the best of my knowledge, loves to fetishize the LGBTQ+ community while simultaneously exploiting them for shock value in her own works.

This drama was neither created by gay people nor was it created with gay people in mind. It is obviously catering to fujoshis/fundanshis who simply view queer people as material for their sexual fantasies and get off to the borderline pornographic sex scenes in this drama. It's absolutely sick how viewers enjoy and support this and its many sequels and spin-offs when it's so blatantly harmful to not only the LGBTQ+ community but also survivors of rape and abuse.
