Could've been a bit more Healthier
•In terms of chemistry, I can definitely say that this drama deserves it's hype. But when talking about storyline, I have a mixed emotions.
•Addressing the elephant in the room, the plot. When I read the synopsis, I expected the story to be a angsty, healing journey between a traumatized Homophobic and an open homosexual. What I never expected was the ride of mixed emotions and questionable actions. Both Tharn and Type are characters who are hard to root or sympathise for. While what happened with Type is understandably effecting him and causing his homophobia, it doesn't justify the way he treats Tharn. His angry and violent outbursts are pretty toxic. He claims himself as straight, but can't think of Tharn with anyone else. Tharn, on the other hand, first came out to me as a homosexual who won't give up to Type's homophobic demands. But the way he molested Type in his sleep was beyond disgusting. Him loving a man who hates his sexuality is twisted and rather pathetic. Plus, they both also have heavy communication problems, which can be seen as inevitable given the circumstances of their relationship.
•MewGulf's acting and chemistry as TharnType is one that I may easily never forget. Despite having re-watched the series 2 months ago, I can still remember the piping hot tension between them. They are on of those Bl couples who chemistry is one a different level. Whether it's their cheesy romantic scenes or hot NC scenes, they devoured it. Individually also, their portrayal of Tharn and Type is powerful, being able to exhibit the intense emotions both the characters have. While I essentially never feel sad during emotional scenes, their acting was enough for me to understand how efficiently Mew and Gulf were able to connect with their characters in depth.
• The other supporting characters like Techno, Thorn, Champ, Lhong, Puifai, etc are also memorable. This is a pretty decent accomplishment, since most BL shows in the present struggle to showcase effective side characters.
•Overall, TharnType the series might not be completely perfect. Though I appreciate the acting of each actor and the chemistry of the main couple, the toxicity and basis of their relationship makes me question it's generalizibility in real life. There could've been more elements added to upgrade the show, but alas this what we got. I like this show, but it's not one that re-watch frequently.
