Character development done right.

I had a lot of issues with this series in the beginning.

Mew does not look like a college student he looks like his actual age which is (at the time of this show airing is 28.) Now Gulf who was 22 at the tie can easily pass for a 19/20 year old college student.

What Tharn did to Type at the end of episode one was uncalled for and is basically sexual harassment. Why he would even want to kiss and give a hickey to his roommate who is homophobic is beyond me. I understand he wants to get back at Type but that’s not the way do to it.

The whole scene when Type insulted Tharn’s dad, I understand Tharn’s initial reaction, the anger, but when he saw how upset and distraught Type became he should have immediately stopped. I will say I did like Gulf’s acting, he really showed his range from being able to go from a loud-mouth ass to a scared man in a split second. I’ve seen reviews where people say Type is a walking red flag and he is, I’m not disagreeing with that but I also think Tharn has some serious red flags as well.

Although I will say that boba scene in episode 2 was pretty funny.

It took a while but I finally understood Tar's storyline. My main issue is this show has so many character we follow I have trouble remembering them all.

I did not really care for Tharn assaulting Type in the shower, that seemed like a bit too much and uncalled for. Type didn’t give consent and I don’t fly with that.

I think Type’s reaction was a little warranted when he pushed the guy off of him that was feeling him up. He said no, they both proceeded to take his picture and while I don’t think he should have said what he did and called him a sissy. I think his reaction was valid. And for them to blast his picture was a little much. Yes, he should not have called him a sissy and said he couldn’t stand people like him (gays) but they are the ones who harassed him in the first place. Plus, it’s funny how they only paint themselves in a good light, they didn’t mention him saying no first and then getting felt up when he was clearly uncomfortable. God, this whole scene makes me mad.

Type coming clean to Tharn about his trauma is a turning point for him. Gulf did a great job portraying the emotions and while it felt a little odd Type just coming straight out and telling Tharn, was a really heartbreaking scene. At least Tharn now knows why Type ‘hates’ him and gay people, it’s because he has unresolved trauma. It’s hilarious watching Techno and Type gush about Tharn in front of their friends and then gaslight the shit out of them.

I’m not sure how I feel about San having sex with a 14 year old Tharn. I don’t know what San’s age is or how old he was during that, plus the fact that Tharn does the same thing with Tar… I also don’t really care for how Thorn is just okay with his best friend having sex with his 14 year old brother, Thorn beating him up once was enough for them to go back to being bffs? Also, the fact that San is so actively trying to pursue Tharn enough that he told his best friend aka Tharn’s brother, and is ignoring the obvious signs Tharn is showing that he’s not interested in him anymore if troubling.

When Tharn defends San kissing him to Type made me mad. I’ll admit San made some good points to Type about his action and disregard to Tharn’s feelings but, you can keep a relationship a secret without it being a big deal. True Type’s main reason was he didn’t want people to know he was dating a man, but he told Techno and admitted he was dating Tharn to San. For Type, that is a big step and shows his slow-going growth. I understand wanting to protect someone but the way San went about it was absolutely wrong for so many reasons. Plus the amount of times Tharn gets punched in this show is kind of ridiculous.

I will say Type had the hreatest character development I've ever seen. I really grew to like his and Tharn's relationship at the end.
