They will be your type
TharnType was a great rollercoaster of Emotions that everyone should enjoy. A well built set of characters that give you exactly what you need in a good drama.. a great story to follow. Topped of by one of the most excellently executed plot twists ever (though being hinted at when he dropped that glass after being told about the relationship), because while it is not an uncommon occurrence for friends to be protective and jealous. The extent that he went to just had me in awe of his crazy in love antics.Story
Unlike most BL, this one began with a declaration of hate, which took me in. Followed by some seriously childish antics that keep me coming back to see who would give first. The fact that Tharn got the full brunt of Type's hate for persons like him but refused to back down but at the same time still remaining a decent human being, meant a lot to me. You really must have it bad to fall for someone that hates you and you must have been raised well to care for someone that treated you horribly. Life happens and I appreciated how their love seemed to blossom naturally. Thought experience with each other, we learn of Type's backstory, which I think should have been told to Techno, but more importantly made them realised they like each other more than they are willing to admit at first, but after Type got help from Tharn in the shower... How can it really remain as hate?
Lhong's contribution to this story made it so much more real, love is real, but sometimes it is dangerous. Don't want to say anything more because it will be a spoiler.
Acting
The acting from the main and supporting cast was very solid and every one needs to take credit for doing them so well.
Techno - I shouldn't have to say more than that. When you watch the show you will understand.
Type - Sold the hate and his pain very well throughout the entire series, which gave me something to believe when his character began to develope.
Tharn - Sold the secret lover and possesive lover character well throughout the series and the crying scenes made me want to cry. Hats off to you bro.
Lhong - This brother has to be the one that got me in my feels for his final scene, from the street fight to the home scene... The body language, the voice, the emotions, the reasoning, the love confession, the denial, I totally felt it and worst, I understood. You crazy for doing Tae so wrong, but bro I feel you.

Character development done right.
I had a lot of issues with this series in the beginning.Mew does not look like a college student he looks like his actual age which is (at the time of this show airing is 28.) Now Gulf who was 22 at the tie can easily pass for a 19/20 year old college student.
What Tharn did to Type at the end of episode one was uncalled for and is basically sexual harassment. Why he would even want to kiss and give a hickey to his roommate who is homophobic is beyond me. I understand he wants to get back at Type but that’s not the way do to it.
The whole scene when Type insulted Tharn’s dad, I understand Tharn’s initial reaction, the anger, but when he saw how upset and distraught Type became he should have immediately stopped. I will say I did like Gulf’s acting, he really showed his range from being able to go from a loud-mouth ass to a scared man in a split second. I’ve seen reviews where people say Type is a walking red flag and he is, I’m not disagreeing with that but I also think Tharn has some serious red flags as well.
Although I will say that boba scene in episode 2 was pretty funny.
It took a while but I finally understood Tar's storyline. My main issue is this show has so many character we follow I have trouble remembering them all.
I did not really care for Tharn assaulting Type in the shower, that seemed like a bit too much and uncalled for. Type didn’t give consent and I don’t fly with that.
I think Type’s reaction was a little warranted when he pushed the guy off of him that was feeling him up. He said no, they both proceeded to take his picture and while I don’t think he should have said what he did and called him a sissy. I think his reaction was valid. And for them to blast his picture was a little much. Yes, he should not have called him a sissy and said he couldn’t stand people like him (gays) but they are the ones who harassed him in the first place. Plus, it’s funny how they only paint themselves in a good light, they didn’t mention him saying no first and then getting felt up when he was clearly uncomfortable. God, this whole scene makes me mad.
Type coming clean to Tharn about his trauma is a turning point for him. Gulf did a great job portraying the emotions and while it felt a little odd Type just coming straight out and telling Tharn, was a really heartbreaking scene. At least Tharn now knows why Type ‘hates’ him and gay people, it’s because he has unresolved trauma. It’s hilarious watching Techno and Type gush about Tharn in front of their friends and then gaslight the shit out of them.
I’m not sure how I feel about San having sex with a 14 year old Tharn. I don’t know what San’s age is or how old he was during that, plus the fact that Tharn does the same thing with Tar… I also don’t really care for how Thorn is just okay with his best friend having sex with his 14 year old brother, Thorn beating him up once was enough for them to go back to being bffs? Also, the fact that San is so actively trying to pursue Tharn enough that he told his best friend aka Tharn’s brother, and is ignoring the obvious signs Tharn is showing that he’s not interested in him anymore if troubling.
When Tharn defends San kissing him to Type made me mad. I’ll admit San made some good points to Type about his action and disregard to Tharn’s feelings but, you can keep a relationship a secret without it being a big deal. True Type’s main reason was he didn’t want people to know he was dating a man, but he told Techno and admitted he was dating Tharn to San. For Type, that is a big step and shows his slow-going growth. I understand wanting to protect someone but the way San went about it was absolutely wrong for so many reasons. Plus the amount of times Tharn gets punched in this show is kind of ridiculous.
I will say Type had the hreatest character development I've ever seen. I really grew to like his and Tharn's relationship at the end.

Nice Show
**Brief Synopsis**B (Student): Type
T (Student): Tharn
- Beginning: B and T are roommates but T is gay and B starts off as homophobic because of a past experience with a molester. B doesn’t like T because he’s everything he doesn’t like in a person, but T is attracted to B since the beginning and is determined to stand his ground. Despite B’s open hostility, T is determined to stay, especially after finding out the reason B is so against gays which makes him feel bad for teasing B and making him think they slept together. He starts being nicer to B, comforting him and taking care of him in his time of need. Because he is so nice, B starts feeling bad for hating him.
- Middle: As B starts not being so against having T nearby, his feelings for T starts to change. T continues to show his affection to B and confessing to him on a regular basis, but B, despite knowing that T wants to sleep with him, isn’t so against it as before. The change is obvious despite B never admitting it out loud. It’s even more obvious when B agrees to sleep with T as repayment for T helping him out numerous times. After that, B stops being so against T’s PDA or intimate touches and would even kiss T when he notices that he was a little down. Despite not being officially boyfriends, they start getting extremely intimate while alone. They also start being sappy and missing each other when they are apart.
- End: Before they could have their happy ending, T’s ex appears and he wants to break T and B up. He keeps appearing near T and made B misunderstand their relationship. B eventually has enough of feeling like shit second guessing everything and breaks up with T, which really breaks T. But he didn’t really want to break up with T, he wants T to see the ex’s true colours. And when he did, B apologizes to T and confesses his love. They reconcile.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- I like how T changes and learns how to take care of B. I really like the scenes when B is unconscious and T is taking care of him. Just by looking at his smile, we can feel the affection he feels for B. Although at this point it’s mostly physical attraction but it’s still pretty cute.
- I really like the straight guy getting confused because he starts being attractive to another guy trope. In real life, sexuality is fluid and you aren’t 100% gay or 100% straight. Love is without gender and you can fall in love with anyone. I like seeing young confused boys figuring themselves out.
- I really like B’s shy little smiles at T’s PDA when he thinks T isn’t looking. I love how much B changes over the course of the series.
- Their relationship develops really fast and while some might consider this too fast and lack build up, it’s nice we don’t have to wait until the last episode. They’re daily as a couple are adorable and they look great together.
- I really like how sappy they are when they are part, missing each other and smiling in to their phones. It’s just so sweet.
- The chemistry between the two actors is just insane. They really look as if they are in love. You don’t need intimate scenes to show their love.
- The crying scenes are really good. Especially the reconciliation scene, it was very emotionally impactful.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- The non con. In the beginning episodes, T would kiss B and touch him without his consent, something B actually seems to be distressed about. He immediately stopped when he found out about B’s past trauma, but that didn’t change the fact he kind of forced himself on B. Although the intention was probably to disgust T and make him freak out, but that doesn’t make this okay. After that there are still moments of dubious consent but T stops if B is showing distress, but when he is only telling him to stop but his body does nothing to push him away, he continues.
- The acting when B is having a freak out is really bad. I know it’s very difficult to act out a freak out nightmare scene, but still, the acting is really unconvincing and it makes the scene awkward to watch.
- I didn’t like the plot with the girl. B starts chatting a girl because he was still a little confused about his feelings at that time and gave the girl hope he is interested. When he inevitably breaks it off, the girl seems extremely sad. He had been intimate with T at that time. It seems extremely dickish to involve an innocent girl in his messy world.
- Use of misunderstandings as method to introduce angst and conflict. For example, B finds out that T has an ex boyfriend he didn’t divulge, leading to conflict. It’s even worst when a friend tells B that he has seen T at the mall with that person. He doesn’t give any context, making B think T is cheating on him. Later on, the boy in question forces himself on T and B sees, although he knows T didn’t do anything, he is terrified by how much T can influence his emotions so breaks up with him. They reconcile but still the reason for the break up is just lazy writing: the ex causing the conflict and brings two lovers to break up.
- There is mention about T being assaulted in the past but no more mention of that is made as if there aren’t any consequences to that.
- The acting is really not good from the ensemble cast, especially in the crying scenes. And sometimes their interactions can feel unnatural.
- There is a lack of intimate scenes but that’s normal for shows of that time.
**Conclusion**
It’s a nice show but it has its problems.

It's a Super Good Show But It Has It's Issues
The overall plot is actually really interesting in terms of Type's trauma and his developing relationship with Tharn. The chemistry between Tharn and Type is also very much so immaculate. My main problem with this show and something that you should be aware of before watching it is the extreme sexual assault. Tharn sexually assaults Type numerous times during the series.*Spoilers Ahead*
In the first episode where Type is unconscious and Tharn is kissing his body or the shower scene in episode two or three in which Tharn forces himself upon Type. All of it is really creepy and it never get's talked about. Tharn also has some super toxic and manipulative character traits.
*End Spoilers*
If you take every action and interaction with a grain of salt, than I think you can really enjoy it but beware of some themes that are rather undesirable. Again, the acting is great and parts of the story are really compelling; the sexual assault is just a non-starter for some people and before you get too deep into the show, you should be mindful of it.

A mixed bag
This was a rewatch for me as it was one of the last BL series I watched before life taking over for a few years (plus). It was just as problematic the second time around, and I hate myself for enjoying parts of it, but I did. I'm partial to the main actors, as I think a lot of BL lovers are, and so sometimes I overlook the glaring issues.That being said, despite years between watches, when we got to the exes returning to meddle start of the storyline and then the additional blackmail hot mess express that followed, I remembered a large part of why I was so irritated with the series It felt like a lot of unnecessary drama -- literally just thrown in to draw out episodes. I think that time and energy would've been better spent dealing with Type's not-so-internalized homophobia and maybe starting to better understand and love himself as well as others, but no one asked me so extra drama it was. They also didn't actually deal with the storyline they presented at all. There was no legal involvement for anyone, and the emotional damage of everything and the gravity of the situation was totally glossed over. Hence, again, it was just thrown in to make the plot more dramatic IMHO and without actual forethought or appropriate care.
Techno will probably forever me one of my favorite side characters, though. His facial expressions never ceased to make me laugh and he played the typical side BFF to a T.

Unexpectedly Good
I went into Tharntype with low expectations. I based those on the word of mouth I have seen online. There are problems with this series. The whole subplot of Tar and his rape is not handled in the best way. Moreover, the person who orchestrated the assault of a 10th grader (or possibly a 9th grader, given the timeline) is not punished and is made to look sort of sympathetic in a few scenes. I am including the special episode when I talk about this series.The chemistry between the actors Mew and Gulf is incredibly good. However, even at the start there are issues with the characters. A gay character falling head over heels for a homophobe is a little hard to believe or take seriously, but you go with it. How the show handles Type's childhood trauma of sexual abuse and related issues is better than I expected. I sort of wish this was used to help examine some of Type's homophobia or even some terrible homophobic stereotypes around homosexuality and child abuse. But the series pulls back from that, in part because Type is not exactly the most self-reflective of characters.
The other subplot with Tar and his step-brother Tum is also in Love by Chance, but it just feels weird and it goes nowhere.
The relationship between Tharn and Type eventually becomes rather cute. I also really like the gradualness in how it works. It goes from enemies, to a one night stand, to fuck buddies, to a situationship, to finally being together. Each step was a natural outgrowth of the previous one.There are still deeply problematic elements to their coupling, but I leave that to the fact the characters are 18/19 years old. Honestly for a lot of people there are some toxic elements when in relationships at that age you eventually out grow, but it takes some time.
Another strength of this show is Type's growth as a human being. He goes from being very narrow minded and an extreme hot head to still being hot-headed but a more mature, caring, and thoughtful individual. Type grew because of his love for Tharn. Tharn doesn't really change much throughout the series. We get to meet Tharn's family a handful of times and they are really cute.
A favorite character of mine was Techno (aka No). He was magnificent comedic relief throughout this season. Much funnier than in Love by Chance.
Major weaknesses of the show? Well, there are characters who stop being relevant halfway through. There are some subplots that feel irrelevant or just drop entirely. The way this show treats consent is also quite the red flag in of itself. The villain doesn't really got portrayed in the way they should have. How this aligns with Love by Chance is also quite a head stratcher in terms of making timelines work, because they do not.

retyping this review
i watched this bl drama at a very young age and the only reason why i didn’t notice anything bad happening is because it was two men kissing in front of my eyes. on youtube. in all honesty i didn’t know how bad this show was until i heard all about it on social media. so i’m going to be putting my opinions on this show about how it’s good and bad.type’s personality: traumatic past…i get it…i really do but to be a dickhead to everyone you meet?? there’s being a jerk to having human decency. i get it caused him to not trust others but he has guy friends for christ sake so why can’t he talk to other guys about simple things? you had to have made friends somehow. for example: when he tried switching rooms with a couple people on his floor they refused because of type’s responses or resting bitch face. and he goes around questioning why people treat him that way when he’s a complete douche to most. i understand that’s why he’s homophobic, 100%. the plot was good for him because you had a gay roommate and a homophobic roommate with that. i didn’t like how type made the decision to give himself to tharn so that he didn’t have to owe him anything even though they only repaid each other with snacks. like take tharn out for a meal or something and if you had sex then i would have been a bit more relaxed. to give yourself away when there are so many other options is just crazy.
tharn and type’s relationship: don’t get me wrong these two actors have amazing chemistry and know how to get it on to cause an uproar. i liked the scene where they were watching porn on tharn’s computer for it to end up being straight porn and type was so confused like “i thought you were gay” which really made me laugh. in all honesty i would have stayed being roommates with a homophobic guy just so i could show him idc if he doesn’t like me. it’s basically anyone that i know would do if they were gay and dealing with someone who was homophobic. but did tharn really have to touch type while he wasn’t conscious?? i cant believe they put that in the series especially so early on. it would make sense if they put it deeper into the show when the bond between the two characters was more than just bickering. it wouldn’t have been molestation but a bit of teasing yk? that’s if if type wasn’t having a nightmare at that time too.
llong: wtf is wrong with this guy?? i thought we had a good friend on our hands but instead he turned out to be a crazy freak in the end. he got me at the start thinking he was a supportive friend of tharn’s who’s always been there whenever tharn was sad or happy. i really didn’t think llong liked tharn in any way but i was also confused why llong didn’t have much of a background stort and little snippets of his life just to keep thr audience from guessing he was the bad guy. but what made him really crazy is when he sent guys to rape tharn’s ex. that really shock me into thinking he was a complete psycho. i just wish there was more about him in the second season because they acted as if he never existed when he was the biggest dent in their lives. doesn’t make much sense.
tar’s story: damn, this kid has been through a lot. being sent to a hotel by llong expecting to be met with tharn but instead it was a bunch of guys who raped him. i feel for this kid and the fact he has such a baby look to him that i really set me off. i felt deeply for this kid until i found out his brother had a major crush on him. there wasn’t any clarification that if the two got together or tar rejected his brother. the scene where tar’s brother met with tharn and basically confessed his feelings about his brother should have made tharn jump into action because well…incest???? i also wished there was more about them in the second season because we are left guessing what happened to them and if tar was better than from before because tae had a lot of trouble expressing how he felt and was locked inside his head.
techno: I FREAKING LOVE THIS MAN! funny as hell character and was really the comedy relief that kept me watching. i always like the guys who are funny and clumsy but also friends with the main lead because they just have more to them. he was a supportive friend as well but didn’t have any relationships outside of his friendships but ended up dated a MAN in the second season. and boy was that a surprise to me.
tharn’s ex sun: tharn was a receiver??? and that was his wake up call to give and not receive??? i mean you get man nothing wrong with learning who you are but i couldn’t imagine younger tharn being the one to receive. i really thought sun liked tharn’s brother, thorn but no…thorn got married to a woman in the second season but sun was still stuck around.
after finally realizing what really happened in this series it wouldn’t stop me from watching it for the fifth time already. the cast was amazing and the chemistry with it all out the cherry on the cake. there were a lot of funny and hottttt moments so overall i would and wouldn’t recommend this being the first bl you’ll watch or last.

The chemistry is just wow ???
I love it 🥰. This I what good actors, chemistry and editing can give you. There were a lot of things that I felt were not exactly right with this show however all those things were not deal breakers for me due to the way the good acting and chemistry.I WILL BREAK DOWN WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE
-I still till now don’t know why Tharn liked Type.
-Types Trauma was not really dealt with and it felt a bit jarring from him disclosing he was sexually abused to him asking for anal sex as we are not clear on the time line outside of the fact they had been living together for a semester.
-the fact that we did not get any justice regarding Tar. sexual violence is very real and it helps to really explore and also get some closure around this. I don’t think that this should have been fluffed out but actually explore both sides for the victim and the perpetrator.
-Thorn relationship with san, I don’t get how he could have been okay with his friend sleeping with his brother at such a young age.
WHAT I LIKED
- Type and Tharns chemistry was off the charts
-The steamy sex scenes were refreshing they gave enough to let my imagination run riot.
-The friendships that Type had were endearing… he was a loveable grumpy person
-Type’s eyes are so expressive i loved this as they showed all the emotion,his body language was great too.
-Tharn’s Family and Types as were quite realistic on showing both sides of what you can get when coming out.
-TYPES character development.
Good OST
DESPITE the issues i loved this drama and have rewatched it mainly because Tharn and Types relationship was shot so beautifully. Type’s character development can be seen in how he is in the relationship but I was so happy that he remained the sarcastic, blunt and rude type who is really a softy. I WOULD RECOMMEND

Il consenso, questo sconosciuto...
Non è solo per il dubbio consenso a cui assistiamo nei primi episodi che non ho dato una votazione eccelsa a questo drama. Se è ben vero che Tharn in principio sembra fregarsene abbastanza della necessità di ottenere il consenso del suo partner prima di molestarlo (Type è incosciente) bisogna rimarcare come situazioni di questo genere siano ancora abbastanza presenti in questo tipo di drama quasi come se, fra uomini, il consenso fosse un non prerequisito.Se non mi sono risentita troppo per questa situazione, perché solo 7 a questa serie? Perché in linea generale non mi ha soddisfatto molto.
La recitazione l'ho trovata purtroppo sovente abbastanza sopra le righe, ma può essere una peculiarità del genere e della nazione, per cui il difetto potrebbe essere mio. A Gulf hanno fatto recitare la parte di Type in modo terribilmente tsundere, e non sempre la cosa è andata d'accordo col suo viso. Mew, peraltro, a volte era fin troppo dolce e accondiscendente. Forse sono i due attori in sé che, presi insieme, hanno fatto cortocircuito nella mia mente. Non è di secondaria importanza neppure il fatto che la coppia principale dimostri diversi anni più dei presunti 18 o 19 che dovrebbero avere nell'opera. Tutti quanti, e non solo loro, però, all'occorrenza hanno saputo singhiozzare con molta convinzione. Soprattutto, bisogna riconoscere che, passati i primi episodi in cui Type lottava contro se stesso per accettare una relazione omosessuale, le scene romantiche fra i due piccioncini sono state soddisfacenti, anche se non bollenti.
Quella che veramente non mi è piaciuta è la scrittura di alcuni dei personaggi, soprattutto di Type.
Type è francamente un po' eccessivo e violento nelle sue manifestazioni e passa troppo in fretta dall'odio all'amore. Mi riesce difficile credere che un ragazzo fino a quel momento etero, traumatizzato da una orribile esperienza infantile, possa di punto in bianco chiedere a quello che considera un suo persecutore di portarselo a letto una volta e mai più per toglierselo di torno. Insomma, mancano le transizioni. E Tharn? Innamoratissimo sin da subito di questo ragazzo che lo insulta ad ogni piè sospinto e gli fa pesanti dispetti per farlo andare via... perché? Cosa ci ha visto? Mistero.
Un altro elemento di pesante disturbo, almeno dal mio punto di vista, è la scarsa plausibilità di alcune scene.
Ho perso il conto delle magliette e delle camicie che sono state afferrate mentre due ragazzi si affrontavano strabuzzando gli occhi per sottolineare il proprio punto di vista (posizione normalmente presa da Type). Le scene di effettiva lotta sono abbastanza risibili, sia che si tratti di ragazzini gracili che immobilizzano non si sa come un uomo grosso il doppio di loro, o che qualcuno si lasci pestare a sangue e quasi strangolare senza opporre la minima resistenza.
E' un peccato perché la trama offre un paio di colpi di scena anche abbastanza apprezzabili, ma che purtroppo rimangono un po' affogati in scene esageratamente drammatiche e prolungate, specialmente nell'ultimo paio di episodi.
Dire che lo showdown finale è protratto è un pallido eufemismo ma, finita la scena madre, gli ultimi minuti della serie sono terribilmente sdolcinati e francamente anche un po' noiosi. E non ho minimamente apprezzato che il big bad boss non sia stato punito dalla legge e nemmeno svergognato coi suoi pari, suppongo per proteggere la sua vittima.
In definitiva un drama che ho visto una volta, anche con un certo piacere, ma che non credo riguarderò mai.

My All-Time Favorite BL … In Spite of Its 'Issues'
I cannot believe I am just getting around to writing this review.Simply put, this BL is my all-time favorite. I loved the couple and their initially acerbic relationship. What stands out most for me is the brilliant job the actors did of giving me an utterly convincing performance that they were really into each other. And the affection… My goodness they were affectionate. I truly wish other BL series and actors would follow the example of Tharntype.
And yes! I get it. There were some parts of this series where I went WTF!!! But the reality is that Type was a 'damaged' human and it took Tharn's slight aggressiveness and 'persistence' to deal with it and keep 'plowing' forward. Not all relationships are perfect and for the most part, none are a bed of roses. Tharntype deals with the reality of making the best out of a not great situation and actually coming out on top.
As for rewatching scenes, there are several that I watch over and over again. Small spoiler here… Type pretends to sleep and Tharn comes out of the bathroom and does one of the most beautiful and loving, romantic things I have ever seen portrayed in any romantic series (both hetero and BL) causing Type to realize, to his dismay, that he is actually falling in love with Tharn.
At this point, I really have to make special mention of Type's friend Techno played by Mild Jinna Pichit-o-Pakun (https://mydramalist.com/people/9103-uengtrakul-suttinut). What a wonderful character and what a wonderful job Mild Jinna Pichit-o-Pakun did of rendering him. Viewers can't help but love Techno… at times too frank, hilarious and doing all the right things a truly supportive friend should do. The face full of water that Techno gets for asking a simple question is hysterical.
To the the producer of this series—Tee Bundit Sintanaparadee… I say "I love your work! Thank you for Tharntype and Lovely Writer". Two of my top 10 favorite BL series.
I wish all my fingers were thumbs so that I could give this series 10 thumbs up. This is my all time favorite.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START FROM
For me, the Tharntype was both good and terrible. Good because of the good direction and acting, and terrible because of its storyline. What hurts me the most is that this story had picked up pretty good themes and elements such as PTSD, sexual abuse, obsessing over your first love, and such but the way they had portrayed these elements had just amplified the toxicity. I heard the original story is more explicit in the sense that they sexualized rape which I believe they shouldn't. I have issues with rape scenes in a series or book unless it serves their purpose in building up a story. The way they handled PTSD in the series was triggering in so many senses.I would say the acting and the chemistry between the two leads are good, this had so much potential of being a good series but then it can't be helped because the actual story sucked. The only reason why I am rating this series 7 is only because of the acting and directing.

Could have been better
This series is very dear to my heart. I rewatched it 3 times (and I extremely rarely rewatched series). I loved it, Mew and Gulf played great for the time but now, when I watch edits on the series, it badly ages. The storyline was clumsy ; Type being homophobic and a football player, and his gay musician roomate, Tharn. The two of them happen to live in the same room and when Type finds out that Tharn is gay, he is asking him to move out and insult him by every names. (TIME JUMP) Later on when they get together, Type is still homophobic and bad-mouthed, and pathetically excuse his behaviour by saying "but you know I am not talking about you", Tharn has to keep on with his boyfie's annoying attitude. This relationship is so toxic. Type leads Tharn by the nose, and you can clearly see Tharn isn't happy in their realtionship, he is always jealous bc his sweety is unpredictable, and he has so justify his wrong doings over and over. He is tired but he love him. Type is the hugest walking red flag I've seen.Let's now talk about the NC scenes. Mew is really talented for those (if you watched or know a little bit What The Duck! then you know what I'm talking about) and the series even won an award for the best kiss, the iconic ice kiss. I really enjoyed them, I was giggleling, screaming, crying, jumping or stoicaly watched the kisses or the spicier scenes.
One thing I really really didn't like is Gulf acting. His acting was poor but God bless Mew saved their chemistry and the ambiance of the series. I'm quite sure if they took an other actor to play Tharn, the series would have been burried in the universe of BL.
I think I wrote a lot, and I prolly didn't say all I wanted to say.
It was Kachoii, byyyye !!
