TharnType Special (2020)

Un épilogue sympathique avant la saison 2

Cet épilogue n'apporte pas grand chose honnêtement, juste la joie de revoir notre couple principal, et de savoir qu'ils sont encore ensemble quatre ans après. On en apprend un peu plus sur le devenir de tel ou tel protagoniste, mais l'histoire n'avance pas réellement.

Trois choses m'ont néanmoins réellement agacée : la distinction mari/femme (hubby/wifey) en fonction de leur position dans le couple, qui est malheureusement assez courante dans le BL en général (mangas, romans, dramas etc.), la rédemption du personnage de Lhong (ce qu'a fait le gars est quand même épouvantable et il n'a pas été puni ??! Au contraire, comprenons-le le pauvre, il a souffert... ??????), vraiment certaines problématiques sont quand même très mal appréhendées par le BL, encore une fois en général, et le "no need to apologize" de Khom à Type (bien sûr qu'il doit s'excuser!).

Mais retrouver MewGulf est un bonheur absolu, leur alchimie est vraiment démentielle, et le special est uniquement basé sur cette alchimie, ils sont beaux, ils sont sexys, ils s'aiment, alors ne boudons pas notre plaisir.

This is what I call a perfect ending...

You might think I'm overrating this because I'm still in the TharnType fever but tbh that's not the reason it gets such a high rating. I thought about it and decided it did deserve the 10 points. Let me tell you why though...

Story: The story of this "special episode" keeps true to the original series, recaps some of our favorites from before and gives us new stuff to fawn over. They managed to include the perfect amount of humor and cheesiness, mixed with emotional turmoil and so much romance, you will have hearts in your eyes. The comedy scenes are full of humor and clearly separated from the serious stuff and the serious and heavy scenes are made even more exciting through high production. The story in itself gives us a new chapter of Tharn and Type we didn't really explore in the series: Type's family. And it is definitely worth delving into.

Acting: The acting, with around 2% of exceptions, is great and the characters did not lose any of their charm from the series. The chemistry is still going strong, maybe even stronger since this one is not so much about Tharn and Type learning to care for each other but learning how there love fits in with the world around them.

Production/Music: Every show out there, that messed this up, please go watch this. It is perfect. Perfect volume, perfect timing. There were two scenes that were done so powerfully, I won't forget them anytime soon, I swear.

Overall: A definite re-watch and a great milestone in BL production. It was done amazingly and fits together perfectly, that's why this deserves such a high praise. Beware though, as it will give you serious wishes for a second season and hopefully we will get it!
