Great everything overall. Interesting story, amazing actors/actresses, great production.
My only sore point is probably how the Mom is instantly forgiven, after all the pain she put everyone through. She didn't want Korn and Win together, that's understandable. But pushing Korn and Lin together with Win RIGHT THERE? Doesn't she know how much that's gonna hurt everyone involved? Time and distance works best to heal broken hearts, but not when Korn would have to move to the farm and they would be seeing each other every day. That's just cruel.
I thought when Win disappeared he might have gone and hurt himself.

At the very least, Win should feel angry and betrayed that his mom might hate him for who he is.

About Win being super angry and unreasonable, yeah, not a good look on him. But I imagine that must have been the worst one year (or was it 2 years?) of his life. His dad passed and he got this MASSIVE responsibilities with no one to help him. The mom and sis doesn't seem to share his burden either. I've a little experience with that, and the stress really does get to you, even when you have support.
On top of that, he -felt- betrayed and used by his best friend, the person he cared the most beside his family, someone who he probably was already in love with.

So, I spent most of the time worrying about Tian's health and his/Torfun's heart, smh. How is he not dead again is only by the miracle of this being a show. If the dad knows where he is, how could he not warn the chief about all the million things Tian is supposed to NOT be doing??

Story is great and intense, emotionally. I understand Tian being all lost and guilty, trying to find a purpose in his life; he's such an interesting character and I want to wrap him in a blanket, hug him and never let go. Mix did such an amazing job at portraying Tian.

I find the response to Torfun's death and Tian's involvement in it a little too exaggerated, tbh. She stayed in the village (iirc) for a month? Is that enough to love her like she's one of them and hate Tian even after all he had done for the people? Or are they just having the mob mentality of not going near a -presumed- murderer?
At the very least, the village elder and the rangers should have asked for explanation from Tian.

Earth is gorgeous and him taking off his shirt at the waterfall was a masterpiece :p
But Phupha really need to do better by Tian.

Another 2gether thing

I wish I had known this is by the same writer as 2gether and TOL, so I didn't have to waste my time. Not bad, per se, just not my cup of tea.
This is comedic, a little exaggerated kind of comedy.
Both main characters are stalkers, basically, which is alright. Good acting, good-looking actors.
The story is kind of crappy though. Stalking your crush is one thing, but not protecting your crush from other stalkers and even encouraging this bad behavior is just awful.
Mork doesn't take no for an answer, he dared to call Pi's feelings towards Nan as obsession, while he himself has been stalking Pi from the get go. There's also the whole issue with the chatting with Pi anonymously while also talking him irl without telling him he's the same person, though that's resolved early-ish?

I understand Pi's aversion to 'friends' given his experience -betrayal, bullying, taken advantage of-, so I understand he wouldn't want to become friends with Mork either.
IDK, I'm too tired for this and I don't want to analyze this series further.

note: Deuan and Meen are not too bad though. Interesting characters.
note 2: Mix is so damn good-looking and soft and adorable here. I'm glad he didn't play main CP in this omg thank God. He's perfect as the perfect dream guy Nan.

Happy hurt

First impression: the hospital/medical ER scenes don't feel good enough, compared to some American medical shows (eg. Grey's Anatomy, Chicago Med, 9-1-1). Pretty sure EMS don't bring simple broken bones and laceration during massive disasters; they triage and rushes the more life-threatening ones to the hospital first. IDK too, if it was allowable, Methaa(spelling?) operating on Prakarn, or Pra operating on Nuch, since the three are best friends-ish. The eng sub did a good job translating the medical terms though.

Prakarn: I understand it's the whole premise of the series, him being antagonistic towards grim reapers, but it's kind of unreasonable? Or maybe he's subconsciously blaming all his lost patients on Tua as a coping method? IDK, the idea of the story is good, but it feels lacking, not fleshed-out enough.

Tua: the best part of this show. He's mysterious, tragic, enduring, and adorable all in one. I have so many feels about this character, both happy and sad for him.

Romance was enjoyable. I love the main CP interaction. The way they hold each other, the eye contacts and intimate moments are very well done. Very sweet, and honestly worth it despite all the other negative points of this show. The ending was good but painful, but weirdly enough I like this show very much.

TOO SHORT, OKAY

Sweet story, great actors, great chemistry.

My main complaint is just it's too short, which means it's a little rushed, development-wise.
The time progression is unclear; it was definitely not love at first sight, so how long has it been since they met and develop feelings? CSW clearly had a gay panic after the almost-kiss, but the drama doesn't show much of his feelings and suddenly, he took the initiative to kiss PJY? It was a little sudden IMO. Not enough build-up to make it squee-worthy.
Other than that, this is absolutely a gorgeous drama. I wish there's more.

A great continuation of the series. Tbh a little frustrating at times, because of the realistic real-world work-place problem (dmn you John). I kept expecting for Arthit to finally had enough and assert himself, but I guess he did the big gesture on the important thing.
Too bad Wad doesn't appear; I find Day a little too stubborn to my liking.

The biggest thing I'm disappointed about is the intimacy; Arthit is a little too shy, it seems, even though they have been together for 2-3 years. Idk, I just wanted more of the small things: a little peck, little touches.
Still, they both are cute, and Kongpob is really adorable

At first I also disagree with the harsh hazing system, and tbh, still think it was too harsh, at least on the outside. However, it's very in line with Arthit's personality: tough on the outside and soft on the inside. Dude gives out crazy punishment and lets Kongpob get away with not even doing 1/4 of the laps; why can't you ease up a little, you tsundere. He still needed to find the line between uniting people through a common enemy and being the most hated senior on campus.

Prem and Wad interaction was actually hilarious when they -awkwardly- got along.

The romance is bittersweet and very well done. Great acting and production as far as I can tell.

Platonic BFs? Tine actor too handsome for the character?

Story is okay, not too special and nothing too problematic.
Acting/production is decent too. Maybe a little awkward at some points of intimacy. It's probably a point from the novel, IDK, but really, rather than the awkward head pats, can't you do hand holding? arm touch? small little gestures? Or at the very least put Wat's arm near Tine's head (shoulder hug, neck hold, back of sofa, anything) at first so it doesn't seem forced.

low point 2: I'm fine if they want to idolize Sarawat, but if they want to dismiss Tine as not-good looking enough compared to Wat, they should have chosen a less handsome actor for him. A cute instead of handsome character might fit better if they want to stick that closely to the novel.
Each Tine and Wat are handsome; both standing together makes amazing visual, so it doesn't make sense for random strangers to fixate on Wat and not even glance at Tine. Not talking about Wat's die hard fans of course, I know seeing your idol makes other people look like trash no matter what.

Must watch

First Thai BL show and I'm so glad it was TharnType. I've seen several others now, and boy, some could have turned me away from Thai BLs forever, even though they are supposedly recommended.

Great acting/production, amazing chemistry, drop dead gorgeous actors, killer fanservice.
Low points: dub-con between main characters, possibly manipulation, violence.
Story is alright, consistently interesting with some dubious contents/tropes, but that happens when you watch for the fantasy BL contents and not a real representation of life.

Casting Mew as Tharn is possibly the best thing the show did for itself. He's an amazing actor, and it seems he knows how to carry the momentum even after the show ended.

A bit meh on some of Type's characterization (a little violent and mean) but I love how fierce he is, so I'm confused. Just because you're gay doesn't mean you are soft and a pushover, so kudos to him.
Aside from the dub-con in early ep, Tharn is really sweet and a lot pitiful. Just, superb acting.
A little too much chit-chats/jokes between side characters to fill in that 2 x 12 episodes duration that I just skipped, sorry.
The ending is also meh since I feel the bad guy doesn't pay enough for what he did.
