Timeline question

I just watched this series from start to finish and I have to say I'm a bit confused about the timeline of the story, especially in relation to LBC. At this point I only watched 2 episodes of LBC hence the confusion. 

 In the final scene of Tharn/Type there's a caption saying "3 years later". They meet Pete in the street who's not aware that they are together etc. However in LBC it seems they are still freshmen,  everyone is aware of Type's relationship with Tharn, Techno is already the football team's captain etc 

How's the timeline supposed to be? If they are already together at the point when LBC starts, then how is it possible that they are still freshmen when they should be seniors or similar. I mean 3 years pass since they get together yet that's not reflected in the parent series. 

Am I getting this wrong or is it explained somewhere else?

Thanks for any info!

I'll have to re-watch the first episodes of LBC.. I think there's a scene where Techno gatheres the freshmen on the football field. I probably missed the plot haha 

I should've watched LBC first, then Tharn/Type. Still they should've provided a bit more background info on the timeline, because unless you know they two series are related it can be confusing.

Thanks for replying! 

I see! Makes more sense. I'm new to both series, as I said I watched Tharn/Type first, and I figured I might as well watch LBC too since they are related. 

I'll definitely pay close attention to try to piece everything together! 

I'm very thankful for the extra explanations! 

From what I observed, TharnType timeline is 3 years before LBC. 

During EP12, where we can see it is 3 years later, Ae and Pete are already together at this point. Also for Tin Can.

LBC somehow just finished a few months at this point. And the duration of these months is the continuation of LBC 2.

Not much was focused on AePete but more on TinCan since they will be the main couple for LBC 2 (somehow like promotional guesting like that). Remember when Tharn said right after Can kissed tin...

(**SPOILER** [hopefully they will include] There will be a scene in LBC 2 where Can kissed Tin infront of everyone in the football field)

Tin became straightforward.

Inshort:

TharnType main plot --> LBC 1 --> LBC 2 --> TharnType 3 years later (EP12)

PS.

Techno might already be with Kengla at this point and Technic with Tae 

This definitely helps understand the timeline so much better! 

Which one did you guys like better TharnType or LBC?

Before TharnType, I'd have said LBC. But now that I've watched TharnType and read some chapters and some spoilers from the books.....I have to say just based on characters alone TharnType wins hands down. Both Tharn and Type at the start seem so typically BL characters but with every step you come to see just how complex these two characters are. I'd never even dream that such a confident personality like Tharn has such deep seated insecurities.  That he feels in order to earn Type's love he has to sacrifice his likes and dislikes.

Type on the other hand is such a difficult person to like at first but I admit by the end he became my favorite. Type is also the most beloved character of all of Mame's books. Her readers even have a nickname for Type..."Sister-in-law Type"..... the person you go to when you have a problem, want some good advice or need help getting out of trouble. There are so many layers to him and each and every bit of growth his character went through was earned through pain and tears.

 My biggest regret for this series is that it's a pity they didn't show properly how conflicted he felt between his homophobia and his attraction for Tharn in earlier episodes. All the hate Tharn got might have been lessened if only we could have had a few scenes where we got to see Type fighting his attraction for him before the bathroom blowjob scene. Before that BJ scene, there's a scene where Type is masturbating in the bathroom watching the AV clip. Well, they changed it in series. In the book Type actually cums when he suddenly starts thinking about Tharn. If they'd only kept that one scene just as it was in the book it would have made clear earlier that Type was attracted to Tharn.

Anyways I know not everything translates well from book to screen....but even with very limited budget TharnType team did a damn good job. And that makes me appreciate them and this series even more.

This is Gulf's (Type) only second acting role. Previously he played a younger version of the main lead in a mainstream thai drama. He had only one scene but he did a good job. This is his first bl. Mew (Tharn) has done 2 bl shows before this.

Yeah thats the problem with bl's.... not much talk about feelings...even though its mostly women writing all these novels on which these shows are based on. 

One of the things I noticed is a little detail they added to Type's body language. The reason why Tharn kept making a move on Type even afterType saying he hated him. It's because whenever Tharn was holding him Type's hands were holding onto Tharn too....not pushing him away even when he kept saying "let me go". Tharn was getting mixed signals thats why he kept pushing himself on Type. They even showed a shot of Tharn looking at Type's hands on his body and taking it as a sign. But once he comes to know about Type's trauma....Tharn stops pushing himself on him. 

If you observe closely the scenes after they are together....Tharn is always careful in touching him and never aggressive. When he did get aggressive he got kicked in the balls. This scene many people got so upset at Type for hurting Tharn for no reason....forgetting that Type still has trauma. And then I read people writing in the reviews that they forgot Type's trauma after he told Tharn about it. Its not that they forgot....its just that some people were not watching the show properly.

That's true and I noticed that Tharn becomes less aggressive and pushy after that. They do add some subtle details but maybe some people get lost in the main action and don't notice the body language.  

The actors seem to have gotten more comfortable with each other after the first 3-4 episodes and got more " in character " though there's still some parts where it could've been better ( more emotions etc) but that comes with experience I guess! 

I'm always trying to pay attention to the little details!
