Great Actors with a Problematic Story feat. Good Music
I decided to start watching TharnType because I really like Mew Suppasit. I didn't really know what the story was really about or anything that happened so I was pretty much going in blind. The first few episodes were okay besides the fact that Type openly hates gay people, calls Tharn slurs and ruins his things (😬)
In the episode where Type gets drunk and sleeps in Tharn's bed, Techno tells Tharn not to do anything to him and Tharn says he won't. This is where the series started to make me feel iffy about it. Tharn goes back on his word and kisses/leave hickeys on Type. The way Type reacted as well was weird because he was more mad about the fact that a guy kissed him than the fact that he was kissed without his consent/while he was drunk/sleeping.
I watched this series because I really love the actors. Mew, Gulf and Mild really did an amazing job acting out these characters. The rest of the cast is fantastic too- Tharn's family, Type's family, P'Jeed, Lhong, Tar, etc. The music is fantastic as well. Be Mine is an AMAZING song as well as Hold Me Tight. This series does have some redeeming qualities, but mostly I feel like it can be problematic at points and the story doesn't lead anywhere. Continuity can be kind of a miss at some points too (Tharn told Type he dated his band member's brother and that his first time was with a senior and Type was completely dumbfounded to find out about either of them LOL).
But, I mean I /did/ watch it all the way through and even decided to stick it out to season 2. The actors really do make the series and I think thats why it is so popular. The storyline itself isn't what made the show and sometimes you just stick it out because of the actors you like.
