Type Grows Into a Man Everyone Can Love, Not Just Tharn!

I don't know if there can ever be a series that is perfection, and I am not going to suggest that this show is perfect, but what we get is Golden anyway. This show was always about how Type develops into a person that we can accept as Tharn's love. Back in Series 1, Type was rough and rude and the only person worse was Lhong. But, seven years later, Type is a changed man because of his love for Tharn. Are they perfect? No. Are they realistic in their challenges and decisions (even if bad ones)? Yes. We should never forget that the whole point of BL is to provide a wonderful love story, and in that, TharnType 2 provides plenty.

Let's start from the obvious point - we rarely get to see a story about a couple AFTER they have gotten together. In that respect, there isn't a lot to compare it to (I can only think of SOTUS 2 and Together With Me 2). But from what we can see, there are going to be issues with work, family, communication and trust. That is completely accurate, so to those who would want Tharn and Type to magically mature beyond what you see is next to impossible. Tharn does have issues with jealousy and Type does have problems communicating openly with Tharn, especially about work. But, let's remember that they are around 26 years old, so they learn and try to do better. They are especially lucky because they have a great support system too.

Techno was especially hilarious this season, and Champ and Thanya were great additions to their team who stepped up. Dr. Khunpol was a cutie who showed us that romance can move at the pace of an iceberg but can still work out. And lastly, Phu and Cir were a fun couple with a completely different relationship to Tharn and Type, so they add more than just being the neighbors. I hope that any young relationship could have as many supporters as Tharn and Type had - success is all but guaranteed. Even Fiat ended up being a villain with wounds that we could understand and pity (unlike Lhong), and I was happy for him in the end.

The acting, especially by Gulf, is so much better, and all the proof you need is Type's scene on the beach. All I can say is WOW. There is also no denying the chemistry between Mew and Gulf, and when you see them together on screen, you can feel their love for each other. The looks, the way their bodies respond - it's almost like they are completely relaxed, like a couple that has been together for seven years would.

Could things be better in the story? Sure. Am I happy with what I got? Absolutely. If you are rooting for Tharn and Type, and are willing to go through their ups and downs with them, then this show will pay off for you. I liked it a lot, and I will miss Tharn and Type, but especially Mew and Gulf together immensely.
