The same story once again... nothing new to see
I don't think this second season was as bad as people seem to say, but it's true that they didn't give us anything new. It's like they did a copy-paste of the first season, and they just added some new characters. The plot is exactly the same. So it feels more like they did this as a fan-service instead of honestly wanting to continue their story.
For me the best part of this second season is the comedy. Techno is as hilarious as ever, and I'm so glad that Khlui is still the same as in college. I lost it when they added a note saying "don't imitate this at home" while Khlui was trying to hear through the wall.
STORY
You will think that after 7 years this couple has changed, and that the fragile trust in each other disappeared. Ha! They should take notes of Cir and Phugun's relationship. They said that these two have been dating for less years than Tharn and Type (and they both are younger), yet they showed a level of maturity and trust in their relationship that it's nowhere to be found in Tharn and Type's.
In the first season Type was the jealous one in the relationship. As soon as someone approached Tharn, he would misunderstand and accuse Tharn of cheating on him showing how he doesn't trust his boyfriend.
In this second season Tharn is the one jumping into conclusions and accusing Type of cheating stating that he can't trust him.
And in both, there is someone behind doing some "tricky" things.
In the first season it was Lhong, because he was obsessed with Tharn.
In the second season it's Fiat, because he is obsessed with Type.
Both of them have a pretty similar background that explains their behavior (but it doesn't mean that they get excused for it) and although Fiat didn't do bad things compared to Lhong, I felt like Lhong's character was way more needed in the story than Fiat's.
Tharn's family is as lovely and supportive as always.
Type's family... his mom is a sweetheart who is always siding with her son. And his dad isn't that bad. Yes, he is constantly saying how he doesn't like the fact that his son is gay and how he wants Type to break up with Tharn and get married with a woman. However if you pay attention all what he does is talk. He never threatens Type, nor does something to mess up their relationship. Maybe he isn't happy about his son's decision regarding his love life, but he doesn't try to ruin his son's happiness. He just annoys him but he never takes action, so for me Type's dad is a pass (and his scenes are pretty funny).
There are 3 support couples but they don't have a lot of screen time. I feel disappointed over the fact that in the first season they made it look like Khlui and Seo would get together in the future, yet Seo's character only appeared twice and obviously there was no development. I also feel disappointed that we didn't have any Tum and Tar plot. They didn't develop their story in LBC2 and they didn't even mention them on TharnType 2.
As a side note, I would love to see a spin off about Phugun and Cir. I want to know how they met, how did they fall in love, and how these two different types of human beings ended up together. While Cir looks grown, serious, and mature, Phugun has a childish taste, seems innocent, and he is very naive. I didn't have enough of them tbh.
CAST
Once again the acting was good. I feel like none of the actors from the first season improved. They did a nice job in the first one and they repeated this nice job in the second one. Could it have been better? Of course. Everyone is able to improve on anything. But their acting was acceptable.
The new cast didn't do a bad job neither, but I still prefer Kaownah as the villain. Lhong is one of my favorite TharnType characters, and that's probably because his acting job was really good.
MUSIC
The music is like the plot, a copy-paste. They added 1 or 2 new songs but that's it. And I have to say that in several scenes there was a background music that reminded me to one of BTS' songs, to the point that I'm not sure if they got some "inspiration" from it.
REWATCH
I've rewatched the first season a few times but I don't know if I will ever rewatch this second one. At the end of the day it's basically the same story and, as I've mentioned above, I prefer to see Lhong as the villain.
