This drama is about teachers and not students. We get to know only 2 students with a bit of a greater depth but it;s still connected more to the teachers. This is more of a politics and there is not much of teaching, and even the teaching and how they do it, is there to further the politics of the school as an institution and business. It's a great drama, but I would honestly not call it a school drama but rather just a life/politics drama that is set in school.

there is a difference with a doctor who has issues and is working through them, and the doctor who is putting her patients in danger and does NOT care about it at all. She literally fall asleep during the surgery, and what she does the next time? Take double the amount of the pills that made her fall asleep before the next surgery. With actions like that there is no rehabilitation is real life, rather taking away her licence. Also I think majority of people (me included) are annoyed that literally no one is taking it seriously and talking about it. So many people knows about her condition and no one even mentioned: maybe go see a psychiatrist? or lets run some test. Like, no one is even trying to fix the problem...

You assumed they asked about the romance coz they want it. Maybe the asked coz they are searching for a drama without one.
I my eyes if they go for a romamce i will not be disappointed, and if they won't go, i won't be. Eitherway it's just small portion of a bigger more complex plot.

Speculating about someones sexuality when you know nothing and they never talk about it in public or in interview is one thing and it bad, but if he himself was open about it, talked about it in interview there is no reason why no one cannot even mention it. He made it public. It's not like anyone id disrespecting him based on his sexuality. People just asked if anyone knows what his sexuality is. some celebrities are open about it some not. If I was gay and open about it, but people around me would try to put me back in closet coz "it's disrespectful to mention it" that would piss me off. Of course I am me, and Mew is Mew.

The way she phrased her sentence sounded like she is calling everyone who rater it low hater, and that would be ridiculous. If it's just about the few actualy haters, fair enough. I just wanted to point out not everyone who disliked the drama and rated it low is a hater.

exactly. While the realizm can leave the room and I can still enjoy the drama, I cannot accept romanticizing sexual abuse and the magic healing of mental trauma with blowjobs. When people said that Type resistance in shower scene was not that strong and he did enjoy it at the end, I was amazed with how their brain works. There should not no resistance at all! If there is any, the scene should end and Tharn should back off. How much resistance is enough for those people, when no mean no? "They enjoyed it at the end" is one of the reasons some rapists don't go to jail.

YES TO ALL. More or less we have the same views on the series, tho I expressed them in less "classy" wat at times in my review. I just could not stop myself from few sarcastic remarks here and there, since I was extremely frustrated.
While the drama was airing and I was at times checking the comments on TharnType page, it amazed me how many people hated Type and literally wanted to murder the, but were all over how amazing and sweet Tharn was, when I had 100% opposite views. Tharn was a creep and I got chills (not the good ones) every time he got close to Type, while Type was a victim that had ASAP psychological and psychiatric help.
The most amazing part if, when people complained about my review saying I took the drama too serious. Well, I'm sorry but it was author, not me who introduced all the serious topic like gang rape, sexual harassment and assault on a minor and emotional manipulation 1st.

okay wow, not everyone who disliked TharnType is a hater. Many people who rated it low watched the whole show and simply did not like it. Calling them haters is a bit childish.

You don't get DID from hitting your head and there was no indication of him having any mental problems before the car accident (except from depression but you don't get DID from that too). They would have to change Dong Sik character and his set up completely for it to work out and this would made the drama 100% a different drama with different plot, not only a shift in genre.

Well, first of all, usually the rating for currently airing dramas is higher than the final rating. After drama is finished the rating usually drops a bit. And what's more, as you said: you think these thing, I guess there are a lot of people who thinks uwma is better than tharntype. |Different people like different things

There were moments later on when I enjoyed the interaction between the characters but I could not ignore what these interactions were build on in the 1st place. If it wasn;t for the fact I was watching and commenting on the drama with 2 friends (one who quite enjoyed it and one that disliked it as much as me) I would most likely drop it too. But I also wanted to write the review and make sure it's a fair judgement of the whole show not just the beginning episode. There was a chance they would explain all the aspects I didn't like in the later episodes (did not happen), that's why I watched it all. So no one can accuse me of judging and criticizing the show I didn't even finish.

Thank you for the nice comment. Being able to ignore certain parts to enjoy the drama is a good thing. If it wasn't for my major in university I don't think I would be this vocal about my dislike for the drama and the issues in it. I know my rating is extremely low, but it just hit all my pet peeves in dramas. I rarely ever go full "subjective" when judging drama tbh, this was one time event hahaha

omg on what basis would you even report them? "please remove this review coz I disagree with it"? It's obvious most people who complain about these low rated reviews did not even read them. It's not just baseless hate, it's criticism. You might disagree with it, but let's all be civil and not try some childish tricks like reporting reviews. This s not middle school.

I'm butting in (sorry) but I just want to explain why I watched the whole show even tho I didn't like it from the beginning. Since I disliked how they handled certain topics in the first few episodes, I wanted to express my opinion on them, but I thought it would be unfair to do it without seeing the whole show. Who know, they might have explained all the things I didn't like in later episodes (sadly it did not happen). I thought it would be unfair to make judgement and complains about the drama that I have not seen fully. You read the review so you know it's extremely subjective and I do point it out in the beginning. I'm not claiming only my opinion is right, I'm just stating how I see it.

and as I said, I don't mind you disagreeing. But I'm not the biggest fan of the way you framed your disagreement., but this is also matter of opinion. So let's just agree to disagree.

I guess depending on the definition, I am a fan. That's why I wrote "some" not "all". Being a fan does not mean I will love every BL drama and not see the flaws in how they are film and what they represent at times.

You can have your opinion I won't stop you. I just find the way you express them funny since it's not productive. But maybe it makes you feel better so who am I to judge. Let all the frustration go in the comments. Whatever fits you, go for it :) I was expecting at least that much from some BL fans anyway.

Not understating concept of different opinion and not everyone liking what you like, wow. mature.
How is it bad that I spent actually time thinking over that review and trying to make it best represent my views? How is drafting it a bad thing? I could easily write short passive aggressive review like your comments and be done with it, but it brings NOTHING to the table and is not productive at all.

I agree with both of your points but I like to think that serious writers and producers want to create a good content with as little flaws as possible. So few mistakes here and there can happen, no drama is perfect, but I myself thought what happened in TharnType was more than that.
As for the values. I'd like to think that rape, emotional manipulation, mental health issues should be topics discussed and taken seriously no matter what cultural circle it happens in. It should be pointed out even more in the ones that do gloss over it. Cultural differences are amazing and enriching but some topics are matter of facts not opinions. Gang rape: bad. Mental health should be taken seriously? yes. Also putting whole western Europe in one bag is not a smart idea. I live in Poland, one of the most homophobic countries in Europe. We should not be out in the same box as more progressive countries in these aspects. There isn't really anything like Western European values, since all countries in Europe have their own set.

Not a problem. I mean my rating for TharnType is as subjective as possible which I also state in my review. The things that bothered me were my personal pet peeves that I could not ignore, but I get that someone could be able to ignore them and just enjoy the chemistry between characters. Different things irks different people.
