TharnType 2 (2020)

A one time watch. Mostly a drag

Only and only Last episode was worth watching. Type nailed the monk character. That alone garnered all my stars. Rest of the episodes were a drag. Wish there was a little more depth in Fiat and Leo’s story. The cutest person who made me smile in every scene was definitely Champ. P’Thorn is absolutely adorable and as savage as the first season Thorn. They practically destroyed Techno’s character. Like, where’s the No who had the best, most savage comebacks to Type’s ridiculous behaviour! And why is their nosy hostel neighbour back here? I mean I did enjoy them in the first season but in this one, it felt really forced. If you planned to get every one from the first season, why miss out on cutie Kaonahhh(Llong)!
Also, nitpicking here, but I hated the airbrushed makeup every person adorned. I really don’t mind the raw, real faces and a little messed up hair from s1. This one had straight-from-fairy-tale vibes.
I’ve watched Tharntype s1 like a zillion times. This one will have to suffice single watch time. Didn’t hate it but I guess the season 1 set the bar too high really.

Not as horrible as some feel

So, the acting by MewGulf was as always impeccable. The downside, they did not have enough screen time. Which is why I rated the story so low. The script was poorly done compared to S1.

The production quality was so-so I think for the money they received it should have been better.

The editing was bad, never hire that person/company again.

There was so much hype around this season and it was somewhat a letdown but not completely. I enjoyed seeing the relationship of TharnType evolve, I just wanted more. I could’ve done less with Champ and Doc or they could’ve done more with them. The nosy room mate and Korean star wannabe was wasted airtime.

MewGulf held this show together and whoever was in charge should’ve given them more screentime and developed their story better. Their acting was onpoint and their chemistry was amazing.

Id watch it again for MewGulf and fast forward on some parts I feel were not necessary.

A (not really) happy ending to a (most definitely) crappy year

I did not like the 1st season at all. And after so many bad reviews of the 2nd season I was so ready to give up on watching it. But I gave it a try out of boredom...and man was it worth my time!!!! FINALLY a 2020 series I truly like!!!! Can I just say 2nd season has everything I think the 1st one was lacking: a good storyline, great timeline, no holes, almost no unnecessary fillers and a decent pace. Even the side couples I generally don't find interesting enough were good this time. So I really don't understand what the disappointment in most comments I read was about...for me season 1 was a huge disappointment but SEASON 2 IS GREAT!! loved it!!!!!
Definitely recommend it!

How Did I Make it Through this Once?

I just tried to re-watch this a second time, and I couldn't make it past the third episode. How did I watch it even once before?? I think I got swept up in wanting to see the cute parts I had seen on YouTube, which is basically just Tharn and Type fooling around and kissing. Everything else is toxic & immature. In this series Tharn and Type are supposed to have been dating for SEVER YEARS but still cannot communicate, still don't trust each other, and Type still gets annoyed when Tharn tries to show any affection for him. It isn't believable and it is difficult to watch. I will stick with re-watching the kissing scenes on YouTube.

Lukewarm, mildly plotless

I finally pushed through this show and I'm unsatisfied. Unless you condense the first seven-ish episodes, I wouldn't recommend watching.

The main problem was that this show didn't have anything significant happen before the 8th episode. It might be because I don't have the cultural background, but I don't think the last episode held as much significance as it should have.

I was happy to see how far all of our favourite characters have come, but Champ and Khunpol felt like a boring afterthought. Though Fiat was the heaviest conflict, his story with Leo kept me from hating him.

I'd rewatch a few scenes primarily from episodes 9 and 10, but there's not much that interested me.

It's good enough, but it's not a serie for everyone

Personally it was somewhat an enjoyable series but I wish there was more development with their relationship (such as communication.) It would've been nice to see more of that with them instead of just a lot of jumping to conclusions. Especially Types character...it bothers me, even though he's gotten some character development some of his attributes make me a lil eh, such as not fully accepting lgbtq even though he quite literally is part of the community?? Pretty confusing. It's a little icky, but it was good enough for me to continue it. I liked their couple and I wish they could've gotten another chance to show it.

Not as bad or good as the other reviews make it to be...

This season is pretty much what one can expect of a second season where the couples relationship has some pretty big trust issues and built on some kind of foundation of if you love someone you must own them... So seven years on it is pretty impressive to see that they where actually still together and kind of sweet and loving. Had it just kept to the sweet and loving the whole 12 episodes viewers may have ended up satisfied with their ship but we would not really have much of a plot now would we... Judging by many peoples reactions we did however get a whole bunch of disappointed fans .

In the beginning of the season I found myself wondering if the writer and actors where payed by the kiss/sex scene bordering on light porn while Type seemed to have matured and have gotten a slightly lower sexdrive Tharns labito was deffenetly still going strong but he no longer needed to use force to get what he wanted... And well both seem to be a bit overly dependent on/ obsessed with each other while lacking the oh so important trust, one may expect from a healthy relationship after 7 years of love... but they especially Type has gone thru some pretty good transformation ill give him that.

The dramatic parts are a bit milder yet recognisable from part one and the show does actually have a few good and important messages along side the odd and not so very healthy relationship advice it seems to convey. The drama also seems to give alcohol a lot more credit than it deserves... Some parts of the plot are repetitive, poorly executed and annoying lowering the entertainment value for this show. But I did learn a little but about buddhist culture that I previously had no clue what so ever about.

All in all an okay second season worth watching, but not much more.

The departure of the director and production from the first season and the arrival of a different team of creators (except Mame) was visible, and in my opinion, the second season did not reach as high a quality bar as the first season. The main couple had nowhere to go much further in their relationship, so Tharn often turned into a suspicious naive and Type into a dramatic hurt "hero", and the footage was more devoted to many new or old faces, and often their behavior in the plot seemed far-fetched to me (e.g. Fiat, Doctor). Nevertheless, the charm of the main couple almost remained intact and I admire these two young men aged 30 and 23, how they managed to do it all and that they had to go through hundreds of commercials, conferences, shots, where they had to keep patting each other, holding hands or giving each other kisses. ..
Mom should write "something" more from life, not these fairy tales, when always one of the main pair of faculty students is "fairly" rich (TharnType, Love By Chance), although I note that both projects were of a high level. I can admit that Tharn's scary brother Thorn (he's actually younger) struck me as gay the most, but he was playing straight (now in 2022 playing Tankhun in KinnPorsche) and Tharn and Thorn's parents were great, beautiful the mother, who would actually have had Thorne at about nine years old, and the father, a Thai-Austrian singer and actor, was nice.
A lot of people may curse these BL series, but without us realizing it, they serve one very important function. Which one? Guess...


Odchod režiséra a produkce z první řady a nástup jiného týmu tvůrců (kromě Mame) byl vidět a druhá řada dle mě nedosáhla tak vysoké laťky kvality jako řada první. Hlavní dvojice se už ve vztahu nikam moc dál neměla kam posunovat a tak se Tharn proměnil mnohdy v podezřívavou naivku a Type v dramatického ublíženého "hrdinu" a stopáž byla více věnována mnohým novým či staronovým tvářím a mnohdy jejich chování v ději mi připadalo přitažené za vlasy (např. Fiat, Doktor). Přesto kouzlo hlavní dvojice téměř zůstalo nedotčeno a obdivuji tyto dva mladé muže ve věku 30 a 23 let, jak to všechno dokázali a že museli absolvovat stovky reklam, konferencí, šotů, kde se museli stále otlapkávat, držet za ručičky nebo si i dávat pusinky ...
Mame by už měla napsat "něco" více ze života, ne tyto pohádky, kdy vždy jeden z hlavní dvojice studentů fakult je "pohádkově" bohatý (TharnType, Love By Chance), i když podotýkám, že oba projekty měly vysokou úroveň. Můžu se přiznat k tomu, že Tharnův straší bratr Thorn (ve skutečnosti je mladší), mi nejvíce připadal jako gay, ale ten zrovna hrál heteráka (nyní v r. 2022 zaperlil postavou Tankhuna v KinnPorsche) a Tharnovi a Thornovi rodiče byli bezva, krásná matka, která by ve skutečnosti musela mít Thorna asi v devíti letech a i otec, thajsko-rakouský zpěvák a herec, byl sympaťák.
Spousta lidí může na tyto BL seriály nadávat, ale ony, aniž bychom si to uvědomovali, plní jednu velice důležitou funkci. Jakou? Hádejte ...

TharnType 2: 7 Years of Love

So to prepare watching this drama, I rewatched the entire first season since it had already been year since I had watched TharnType and I couldn't remember it well.

This drama uses a trope that I don't like: the everyone is in a gay relationship trope. It's like why is this one friend group all gay? Yeah, it can be funny, but it becomes distracting to the story because you end up diluting the character's relationships. Side characters' stories don't get enough time to fully develop and it begins to feel like everything is just fanservice.

For a couple that's been together for 7 years, they're still dealing with a lot of issues that first and second year couple's deal with: they don't seem to have talked about any of their problems that they had during the first series. So I wonder, how have they lasted 7 years if they still have miscommunication problems, jealousy, and completely opposite values?

The drama did attempt to show how as two couples grow older, they have to endure their work problems and how work can affect a relationship negatively. But for me, that felt like a weak reason for them to always bicker and not communicate. I'm so stressed from work, so I'm gonna create faux drama so that we fight. Boring.

I don't think you'll lose anything from watching this drama, the first one wasn't that great to begin with. Maybe if they cut the first 5 episodes from season one, they could make it better.

A guide on how to go from bad to worse

Why do I do this to myself? Like I disliked the first season. And yet, here I am, suffering through another season of TharnType and their dysfunctional, toxic relationship. Also, when I talk about characters, I am talking about the characters and not the actors who play them.

I feel like most of the series was a repeat plot of the first season – jealousy, a lot of it, and the two of them being bad at talking with each other. There was no real character development in the first season, so going into the second season that is happening 7 years later, I had high expectations. My mistake, I guess. I really expected a more mature couple that knows each other and can trust each other. Yeah, that’s not TharnType. Honestly, how did they even make it this far in the first place? And the fact that the two are not even public with their relationship?

Let’s talk about the whole Tharn & Type and Leo & Fiat mess. Honestly, I cannot hate Fiat. He was supposed to be the villain of this story. And while there are many things that I don’t think were okay, he is too cute for me to hate him. He can be quite unlikable at times, though. I really love his “friendship” with Leo. Leo is an amazing character and I really loved how he was keeping Fiat in line, preventing him from truly becoming a bad person. Even if his reasons might have been a bit selfish. One question though – who in their right mind would agree to Type’s stupid plan of getting Fiat to confess his feelings? I could never forgive someone for putting me through that, especially if they claim they love me. The way our “mature” couple handled the whole situation, on the other hand, was a mess. No communication, of course. Some violence. And a lot of tears. It’s like a repeat of season one, I swear.

We got two more side couples. They weren’t show that much, but I think they were adorable. But maybe not that memorable. I do not like how Khui and Seo suddenly became Tharn’s and Type’s neighbors again. It makes no sense.

And while on the topics that make no sense (or even less than usual), what’s up with the whole monk thing? It’s like they ran out of plot and had to throw something completely random in, so they had enough material for 12 episodes. It just doesn’t really go well with the whole flow of the story.

The OST was nice though. I also liked the way they included the problem of homophobic work environments and how hostile they can turn. Let’s not get into how Type could have done things better. I don’t have enough energy for it.
