Relatively weak story for Tharntype, too little of Champ and Khumpol

The story of Tharntype 2 is no doubt weaker than that in the first Season. This can probably only be expected. There are only a few ways to continue the love story: (1) introduce a third party, (2) show how the realities of life after their graduation could cause a bit of a rift between our main characters, (3) a bit of each of the above.

So Season 2 ends u, where Tharn and Type are concerned, largely being the two of them fighting (for no apparent reason at times) and then making up (+ out), fighting and then making up (+ out), fighting and then making up (+out). It isn't that bad for hardcore fans of Tharntype. The production is rather slick, and there is no lack of kissing scenes. The introduction of Fiat into the story is somewhat lame--it seems too obviously calculated to create a crisis in Tharn and Type's relationship, but it is unconvincing and even self-contradictory. Fiat appears to really like Type at some point though we know from the start whom he will be shipped with.

One good thing about this series is the side couple, Champ and Khunpol. They are really lovable (especially Khunpol and that smile of his), but we don't get enough of them. I wonder why. They are so cute as a couple that I wish there had been more screen time for them to delve into their respective inner worlds and back stories. The first five episodes would have been better with some development of Champ and Khunpol. The already weak story of Tharntype only really gets going from around Episode 6, and I would have appreciate some Champ and Khunpol moments, possibly some flashbacks into their university days when they shared a room and Khunpol had a crush on Champ.

Part of the charm of Season 1 (despite some rather toxic behavior on both Tharn's and Type's parts) is the real sense of crisis in their relationship. The story of Lhong, the villain, and what he has done to Tar (Tharn' ex) is much more compelling than the non-threat that Fiat obviously is in Season 2. Season 2 pales in comparison. Otherwise it might be more well-liked.
