Story / Plot and Cast: The story has been a continuation from season 1, simply titled TharnType the Series. With the series putting the incidents 7 years after the first season, it is inevitable to look at the projected changes. In general, timing, ages, growth of characters, and communication style are all consistent. The “couples” have, in general, adequate screen time, but they are discussed later. The plot is general and basic (of course!), with only minor twists from the normal storyline. The last part about ordination was really culturally embedded, and occasionally left me in a grin. But, hey, it’s meant to be serious! Let’s talk about the “couples”, shall we:

Tharn and Type: They have significantly improved communication in this series! (Not sure if that is, in fact, common in couples together for seven years.) Communication problems have been severe in season 1, and all that was distressing and aggravating. They weren’t free of communication problems, but certainly less aggravating and face-palming as last time. They have trust issues (again not sure if that is frequent in reality!) but are able to resolve them in the end. More sweet scenes this time, and I’m for it, even though I wasn’t particularly into them. Type was significantly less hot-headed than season 1, improved for so much that he let Fiat infiltrate into his own relationship (!). We need no more elaboration on Mew (Tharn) and Gulf (Type) because we all know they have been doing an excellent job in portraying the respective characters.

Leo and Fiat: It is good that they were together at the end, even though one may question the intention of Fiat of the sabotaging he did to Type and Tharn. I cannot feel the feeling of Fiat to Leo, despite their intimate behaviour (they slept together!). It is well possible that Fiat (or Leo? or both?) treated that as a brotherly relationship (also known as “Phi-Nong” relationship, exclusively for Thai). There is mixed feelings for Fiat because his experience seems really sad, but such could never justify his sabotage. In the end, whether Fiat stays true to Leo is, regrettably, not so observable from the acting. Ja (Leo) was eye-catching and First (Fiat) adequately gave Fiat the character a complex personality. Ja was also involved in Until We Meet Again, and it is refreshing to see him with a new look!

Champ and Khunpol: Despite a reduction in dangling “couples”, one still remain, and this is Champ and Khunpol. Champ was oblivious, but Khunpol wasn’t obvious either. Champ has not a single idea on Khunpol liking him, and this is occasionally aggravating. Khunpol was apparently a shy boy and has held feelings for Champ for seven years (!), coincidentally (or not?) resonating with the series title. (I have to say that, when Type was bullied by his senior right after Khunpol’s feeling was spotted by Type, I held negative feelings for Khunpol. The music might have also contributed to my faulty perception. The show eventually clarified that Khunpol was crucial in dealing with Type’s senior, but that was another story.) Boat (Champ) has made it to season 2, and Jame (Khunpol) is also refreshing.

Cirrus and Phugun: If the two were already a couple, is the problem of dangling “couples” dissolved? [I wonder.] They were linked to the plot by Phugun, where he is a little brother of Tharn, proving again Tharn really has a lot of non-biological relationships (!). Phugun was a warm and helpful person, and whenever he appears the scene is guaranteed to be warm. Cirrus seems to be an over-protective boyfriend, but later he has proved to us that the over-protection was necessary. Cirrus also has the softer side when he talked with Tharn in Tharn’s room. There was little room for character development, but it’s all we have here. Haii (Cirrus) and Title (Phugun) was cute! All in all, I am looking forward to their next roles, be it together or not.

Music: The soundtracks did not particularly attract me. The main track, ข้างเธอ by Off Chainon, was a nice song. What the song gave me is a feeling of grand, beautifully decorated hall which is just made for a nice wedding, which is perfect for the theme of the series. The ending theme, เธอ... ที่เดินเข้ามา by Nuengthida Sophon was lovey-dovey, and did not really attract me. Other songs were mostly the extension of the frequent melodies which appeared in the series intermittently, and may worth your time listening.

To conclude, I would rate the show as mediocre to good. Improved communication and a fairly interesting plot is the good side, but screen time imbalance may be detrimental. As a sequel that is based on the success of season 1, it is not a bad show to watch.
