Not worth the watch


Just like everyone else I started watching this series because of how catchy ep 1 & 2 was. I was wrong for keeping watching this series, as I completely missed out the wrongs and bads.


1. STORY/ACTING

I'm gonna honest and say that this series is romanticizing sexual assualt, which is 1000% wrong to do so. Already in the first episodes we had Tharn who thought it was a good idea to kiss and leave hickeys on Type, without conset, and on top of that,, he was cleary drunk? You really gotta be smart to be that dumb. This is straight upborderline sexual assault, a serious topic that never were discussed.

2. NOT HANDLING MENTAL ILLNESS WELL

In of the episodes, we see Type opening up to Tharn, where he talk about him being raped as a 11 year old. The way Tharn behaved toward Type was very problematic, and clearly he didn't respect Type boundaries. As someone opening up his traumas/PTSD, the first thing YOU SHOULDN'T DO is hug that person. There must be other ways to help him out
Type was already struggling as it is, and he didn't need anything to top up the trauma he went through. A very bad way to portrait a gay character.

3. ROMANTICIZING TOXIC BEHAVIOURS

As Tharn and Types characters developed, I honestly thought we would see some progression in their relationship. I thought that, now that they've become a couple, they would open up to each other and solve their problems between them. But oh well, I was wrong. And not to mention Type hitting Tharn, not once but twice, when he confessed in front of Tharns childhood "friend". And then they proceed to move over to the "steamy scenes"?
It was very confusing to watch, and I was very confused - I was thinking to myself, should I like this couple or not?
Tharn pushes the next boundary without conset and then gets mad when Type is upset? (Was that supposed to be innocent acting or..?)
After Type admits that they are something more than friends, Tharn convinces him to go out into public and drink, then within the next minute he kisses him IN PUBLIC without asking, something Type wasn't ready for.
The same goes for Type. He was a complete asshole and really was way too impulsive and had close to zero redeeming qualities. I failed to see why I should cheer for him and his happiness when I simply did not like him as a human being.

4. WHAT I LIKED

I must admit, I found the fluffy cute scenes between them cute. But the rest, I literally skipped it all and cringed very bad. The writing and the scripting WAS HORRIBLE. The director must be new to all this, and I am hoping he did a better job now that Tharntype 2 is coming out this week.
Surpringsly, I lived for the OST. Till this day it's a BOP.

5. OVERALL

Not worth the watch at all. Would I consider rewatching it? Absolutely not! Let's hope season 2 is something I can watch lol
